This unique hideaway blends vintage arcade charm with spa-level amenities, including your own infrared sauna, clawfoot soaking tub, and access to the riverside hot tub just steps away. Days can be spent skiing, hiking, disc golfing, or exploring the Smuggs trail network, while evenings invite ping-pong tournaments, retro gaming, or peaceful soaks under Vermont’s starry sky. Equal parts cozy and quirky, this apartment offers a one-of-a-kind mountain escape for families, couples, or groups seeking both adventure and comfort throughout the year.

“Our family had a great stay! The river was beautiful, hot tub and sauna were wonderful. Our kiddos had a great time playing video games and learning to play ping pong! We left with 3 of our kiddos already planning our next cross country trip to Vermont but only if we can stay here again. Thanks Tyler!”

“Our family loved staying here! The girls couldn’t get enough of the decor, and everyone loved ms pac-man. The river was delightful and just steps away. And there is a great pizza place and a great brewery at the end of the drive.”

“This was our 2nd time staying in one of the Uncommon Accommodations! We loved the cute unique space and enjoyed taking advantage of the in unit sauna and bathtub as well as the hot tub overlooking a beautiful stream. The area was perfect for us right near Smuggler’s Notch which was a great drive whenever we went to Stowe (20-25 min drive) and other neighboring areas. Very peaceful getaway and will continue to return to Tyler’s places as we enjoy the unique cute spaces and amenities!”

“A great spot to stay at for disc golfing at Smugg's notch. Also a great spot to relax with the hot tub and sauna after an active day of disc golfing. The bed and sheets were cozy! The Ms. Pac-Man theme was fun, too. Would recommend this spot and would stay here again if we were back in this area!”

“We had a GREAT time staying at Tyler's place! My 2 teenage girls loved the décor and playing ping pong. The location was awesome, only minutes from the top of the mountain pass which drops you off in Stowe and is super close to a BUNCH of great hiking trails. The apartment was clean, had everything we needed and the sauna and hot tub were extra added bonuses! Great location, great apartment and fabulous host! Thank you Tyler!”
