Fun watching the eclipse

We were three couples who came to the area to see the solar eclipse. We sat right on the deck and were able to relax comfortably with our special glasses and experience the totality. The house was very comfortable for all of us. We enjoyed eating at two local restaurants, and had a wonderful visit to Sticky's Maple Syrup House.

Stowe Weekend Getaway

We stayed at the Rufe House for 2 nights and had an amazing experience! Everything was exactly as described, very neat and clean! It was awesome to be able to use the fireplace with wood provided by the owners. There was plenty of room for all of us to gather around the fire to relax and read. We loved playing games at the large dining table in the kitchen. And it was an easy drive into the center of Stowe to go to restaurants and shopping. Communication with the owners was very easy and they provided tons of information about the area and their property which made us feel very comfortable! I would highly recommend staying at the Rufe House and hope to visit again soon!

Year 2 At The Rufe Home

Carolyn & Al’s home is a great home to visit Vermont with your family. This is the second year that we have rented this wonderful home as it offers everything. The home is clean and has a great layout. The bedrooms were perfect for the adults and grand children. The kitchen is great for everyone to gather at the beginning and end of the day as the kitchen table accommodated all of us at one time. The kitchen has all new appliances and has everything that is needed to cook meals at home. The living room is a great place to relax in front of the fire and TV at the end of each day, with plenty of firewood stacked in the basement. We have been coming up to Stowe for over 30 years for downhill at Stowe & XC/snowshoeing at Trapp. We used to stay in town to be near everything. We are happy that we ventured outside a little bit to Morristown. We were still close to everything we always did but without being in the crowds. The Rufe home is perfectly situated to go to both Trapp and Stowe (and Bolton, etc.). The Hannafords in Morristown is very close and the same Black Cap coffee shop is found in Stowe is right on Main street Morristown with a great pizza place right next door (Pizza on Main). We are looking at a summer/fall trip to ride the 93 mile Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. The Rufe home is a perfect place to stay for this adventure as it is located only a few miles away. Returning to a VRBO is really the best review. We returned once with plans for more.

Stowe getaway

We really loved this place! One of my all time favorites. When we were booking this one stood out w consistent excellent reviews. Highlights - plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms and beds, well stocked kitchen and cozy living room w fireplace. The living room was so comfortable to hang out in. Carolyn was super easy to communicate w and very responsive. It’s clear that she and Al love the area, and want only the very best for their guests. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
