Great people

Things go wrong from time to time. When they do- you want owners like this that fox things quickly and respect your time.

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay at the pool house. The indoor pool room is amazing, and we had the unique experience of swimming all afternoon while watching the snow fall outside! The house is beautiful, with large yet cozy rooms and had everything that we needed. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and there were even plastic wine glasses to take to the pool 😊 The Wi-Fi was way to connect to and strong enough for all the devices. The dining room was a favorite space, with an entire wall of glass up to a vaulted ceiling. We played board games and watched the wildlife when we weren’t swimming in the pool or watching movies in the family room. There is a nice woods and mountain view out back. Manchester was a short drive for shopping and restaurants. We contacted the host a few times with questions and he was quick to respond with helpful answers. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great winter family getaway

This is by far the best vacation we have been on since Covid started. My husband and 2 kids and I never even left the house. It was cold, snowy and all we wanted to do was swim. We brought all the food we needed to make our dinners. Brought board games and had the best time. Super clean and cozy. We brought our own towels but they had plenty of beach towels for days. Nice touches we greatly appreciated. We loved to maple syrup and pancake mix. We look forward to coming back for another fun visit.

Love this house!

We loved this house. It's cozy yet spacious and very well-stocked. Our kids LOVED the indoor pool and swam several times per day. The owner was a pleasure to work with and answered all questions promptly. Also, the EV charger at the house saved us! Thanks for a great stay!

Indoor Pool & Close to Skiing

Communication and check in with Charles was flawless. The house is extremely well equipped. They have thought of everything. Our only issue was the inability to control the pool area temp. It was pretty cold to sit out there watching the grandkids play in the pool, which was the reason for renting this house. It improved late in the afternoon but try holding kids off until 3pm! So, renting on a typical January day in Vermont and considering the price for a house with a pool, it seems silly not to be able to let the renters control the pool area temperature just like any other room in the house. Even my husband wore his jacket to sit out there.

About the host

Hosted by Charles Harris

The Mettawee house was originally purchased by the owners as a vacation home. The owners loved the Danby location, and the local residents were incredibly friendly. The indoor pool was a great feature, that isn't found in many homes - particularly in Vermont! The owners like the property so much that they decided to share it with others so that they could experience the gorgeous setting, incredible views, and unique Vermont experience.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Vermont! In the Green Mountains State, you'll find famous fall foliage, renowned maple syrup and the most snow on the east coast. But there is so much more too: enjoy local food at restaurants and farmers’ markets, savor the revered beer culture, meet world-class artisans, explore endless recreational opportunities, rejuvenate at the spa, learn at noteworthy historic sites and above all, please stay awhile… Vermont’s attributes will continue to reveal themselves to you in honest and inspiring ways.

Vermonters are known for their independent-thinking, friendliness, sportiness, and resourcefulness. The state’s residents love the land and are committed to preserving, as well as sharing it. Vermont’s agricultural traditions have created open working landscapes amid a backdrop of mountains, many of which make up the nation’s first through-hiking trail, the Long Trail.

While it’s easy to spend days simply taking in the scenery, it’s even more rewarding to become a part of it. It’s easy to explore backs roads and well-maintained trails by bicycle. Go for a run or walk along busy downtown paths or quiet villages with covered bridges. Drop into a halfpipe on your skis or snowboard and share the trail with local Olympians. Cast a line in a lake or stream, or relax beachside at a pristine state park. Whatever the day brings, the night is sure to deliver a solid night’s rest - whether you choose to camp under the stars, cozy up under a quilt at an inn, or appreciate the thread-count at a luxurious resort.

In Vermont, one thing is beautifully certain: The seasons will change. And with that change, so does the landscape, the recreation, and the way of life. With every season comes new opportunities to explore the world around you. Welcome to a state that is truly never out of season.
