The day has finally arrived. Today is officially the last day to enter to win the oh-so-stunning HGTV Dream Home 2011. But don’t worry, you still have until 5 p.m. EST to submit your last two entries (once on HGTV.com, once on FrontDoor.com), so make them count!
I’ve been a die-hard fan of the Vermont resort-style home since day one. There’s something so appealing about a warm, rustic home surrounded by snow-covered mountains and sky-high trees nestled in an active resort town. Wouldn’t you agree?
Here are four reasons to submit your last two (or first two) entries. Hey, you never know, you could get lucky, like HGTV Urban Oasis 2010 winner Adam Venckauskas.
I swear I would cook every day and never eat out if I could chop onions and boil pasta in the Dream Home kitchen. Talk about a cook’s dream space!
Can you imagine eating dinner (or every meal) in this dining room? Open windows, sweeping views, dim lighting … need I say more? Well, yes. You can open those windows for dining alfresco!
I love the modern green accents scattered throughout the living room that are paired with chocolate brown hues and rustic decor. This space feels just like home.
The glass-enclosed annex is the perfect place to enjoy the views of Mt. Mansfield through winter, spring, summer and fall. See those leather club chairs by the window? That’s the best reading nook ever.
This HGTV Dream Home is PERFECT! Now, you still have a few hours left to submit your final two entries, so … go!
(To whoever wins: Will you invite me over? I’m a wonderful guest.)
WOW…….what a dream!
What a great home in a great location for kids, if we win we would be able to forster 2 childern in this warm, heartful home.
I truly hope to win… as I am sure every one does!!! I would love the oportunity to donate my current home to a local family in need. Preferably a fire victim if possible as a member of my family lost hers to a fire years ago. Good luck to every one and congratulations to the lucky winner!!!
I love that idea!
I am always amazed at the reactions of the winners of the HGTV dream homes. I have been entering for years. They hardly seemed amazed. I am not sure if I would cry, pass out or scream but I can guarantee if I ever won everyone for miles would hear me screaming!!! Nothing exciting ever happens in this small village. It would really be something. It would be life changing for my family. I am not sure if they are in shock and that is why the reaction seems so mediocre. Congratulations to this year's winners from Illinois. I hope it helps them to have a bright future. Well, here's hoping for next year.
OMG, The suspence is killing me I really hope WE win This apartment is way to Small Wish us luck (cross your Fingars and toes. This house is indeed my dream house.
What a grand home with a grand view……I could visualize making the bunk level with all the bathroom facilities (as well as the guest bedroom for parents) available to children & their families of the "Make a Wish Foundation" to let them enjoy the beautiful Mountain Beauty of Stouwe, Vermont………while I enjoy the cooking in the Grand Kitchen overlooking the beautiful view as well!!
Everything about this special home screams to me and in what way ! the annex room, the gathering room, the living room, the guest room, the dorm room, the master bedroom, the master bathroom, the front patio, the backyard with the spa (bonus), the garage for the Acadia Denali, the laundry room, the dinning room, the spectacular views from those beautiful mountains and of course the amazing gourmet kitchen were if I am the winner ( fingers crossed ) I will be cooking for the rest of my life, I just love HGTV for giving me the chance to Dream of this beautiful Home.
I wants to win this house it would be a great thing to win.
It would agreat house to live in what a great site to view the mountain,
I know the winner is being announced on TV in March, but when is the actual winner being informed of his/her lucky win? I'm dying to know whether I can celebrate or keep on dreaming…

Each morning I wake up realizing that it was just a dream! I'm living with my daughter and son-in-law and have been praying for a home of my own. Maybe my dream is too big for me? I don't know, but I hope – or fantasize. Either way, the deserving winner will always rise to a beautiful day and (hopefully) will thank God for their blessings each night before they sleep.
That is a really nice thing to say…..
I was struck by the great idea from a previous post. Win the beautiful HGTV Dream Home and make it a wish come true for "Make a Wish Foundation" children. The home is perfect for anyone and sharing it with these children would make it a "real dream come true".
This would be a dream come true..I never knew what a true home felt like I was homeless most of my childhood life….with this house I would never have to worry about where I would lay my head at night again. I could give this home to my daughter Alyssa when she grows up and help other families who struggled just like I did.
Weird
I would make this the best bed and breakfast in Stowe, Vermont. Minimal bunk fee to those and feed them both a hot breakfast and dinner. Lunch they would be on the slopes and on their own. This is such an exciting house, and one could really live here while allowing others to come and enjoy the fruits of HGTV's labors!! Imagine, going on a trip, family of whatever (9), parents get the 5 star room, kidlets get the ski dorm, everyone fed by 9 and off to the slopes, dog sledding, sleigh riding, just a wonderful part of the USA, with so many options. Older kids to the slopes, parents and smaller ones to the dog driven sled rides, lovers off to the horse driven sleigh rides. Stop for coffee at the local coffee shop, enjoy the locals and home for dinner. Chicken and Dumplings, lasagna and salad, beef stew, anything and yet comfort and relaxation. In the fall, with the fall breathtaking leaves, the possibilities are just endless.
I do believe whoever won this house, including myself, would have to cut out no less than a couple or few weeks a year for various children organizations. Also, it would be great to get teens/youth groups involved in the buddy system to buddy up with children in activities. I just mean the possibilities are endless. all the help and hope and ease of sharing!!
Does the movie "White Christmas" bring smiles to your faces while viewing this house. Camaraderie, meeting and greeting new extended families, enjoying others smiles while enjoying the home, the land, the amenities. Holy moly, what an opportunity
Why is it that all the winners already own homes? How about the people that live in apartments and would love a home.I have 5 kids and a husband and we are living in an apartment.
Hi Wanda, you have a very valid question, your answer may be found in the "Sweeptakes Rules" It seems that the "Winning Sweeptakes Canidate" must be Marketable for Public acceptance, falling into a catergory of PR Standards. Did you know that a "Backgound Check" is performed on any and all potential Winning canidates? The Sweeptakes Winner, must be approved by the Main Sponcer and deemed aproperate and acceptable in the publics eye, they must be careful not to give a $2,000,000.00 prize pacakage away to "second rate citizens", or anyone who may have had a troubled past, so then a less than upstanding citizens, (in their eyes) warrants disqualification for a blessing by HGTV and their affiliates !! So there you have it…. Fairness and equality are not of HGTV's Sweeptakes Rules, nor in their agenda, after all, THE SHOW MUST COME FIRST, or as in Hollywood, "The show must go on"….. Its of the World, not of God…so what would you expect ?
Bruce // servant to King Jesus………………… who promised to all who will believe, A MANSION in Heaven
This would truly be a dream come true……The perfect DREAM HOME!!!!! My 7 year old grandson is crossing his fingers and toes!
Oh Wanda don't be selfish ,you have no idea what sort of home 's everyone has ,your apartment might be nicer than their homes or they may be struggling to make payments and who doesn't have dreams to have some thing that you can't possibly get on your own especially the beautiful homes that they build ,with the best designers architects etc ,hopefully some one that really needs it wins ,its always nice to dream though I do all the time
I know everybody wants to win the house, the car, the money, and some people want to rent the house out, or only have it as a vacation home, or they want to sell it. But me, personally I want to LIVE in it!! My father-in-law has ALS(Lou Gerhig's disease), and I want to be able to take care of him during his last years alive! I want all my family to visit all the time, and I want to live in Stowe and have my two daughters grow up there!! This may be a little over-zealous, but my husband and I already started looking for jobs in Stowe, because realistically we have to be able to pay utilites and taxes for the house! We've already made plans on how to invest the money, use it to pay taxes, and I also want to open a restaurant which would be good for tourists that come to the Stowe area! So I really hope WE WIN! Good luck to everyone though!
Just so you'll know (anyone posting or reading), it really does not quailfy as a "Sweeptakes" , have you read the "Sweeptakes Rules" ? Though the "Winner" is picked from a random drawing, the "potential winning canidate", must pass a "background check", so should thier be anything there that the "Main Sponcer deems questionable, and or the canidate seem unworthy for their PR Standards then that canidate is disqualified. So then it is for every other potential canidate to follow, subjected to the same rules of acceptance until they find the clean canidate, one they can promote, one they deem would be acceptable and deserving of such a give-a-way. Knowing then, that this is a part of the process of someone being the actual winner of the "Sweeptakes give-a-way, that they are actually a "chosen" winner, and not a ramdom pick, disqualifies this as a Sweeptakes, but rather a PR propaganda promotion of the HGTV Show, and thier affiliates.
Bruce // servant to King Jesus………….. Lord of lords & King of kings, redeemer of souls
Bruce, yes I read the Sweepstakes Rules and I will be happy for whoever wins this Dream Home, in spite of your cynicism. I'm a big HGTV fan and love watching all their programming, including every year's Dream Home. It's fun to enter and…….do we not all love to dream?
I hope I win, of course, but what if I am not at home when you come to my house to give me the prize? Will I still get it?
I hope i winner the dream house
I went to Stowe this weekend, THIS IS A DREAM HOME. The village of Stowe is amazing and enjoyed a nice lunch.
I Can't wait to move in.!
I hope to be the next winner of this home.
I hope we win!! My husband has retired and we want to live in the country !!! The dream of living in the country has been a life long dream from my husband and I. This home is amazing and we are ready to Move !
Every day my kids ask so when are we moving to the mountain mom! I've been entering every single day twice a day since it started. Me and my kids take the virtual tour and discuss how cool it's gonna be there when we win! Me and my family have experienced so many hardships the past 5 years this would be the very best start over we could ever ask for!
I love, need & want this home. I am retired but I have a huge family, many of which love to ski. My niece & her family have been to Stowe skiing. They say it is lovely. I lost my home & vehicle last year. Something deep inside me told me I should enter this contest. I love & need this home. After I lost everything, I moved to Vegas & was living off my social security. I have lived alone all my life, but my family has asked me to stay with them in Indiana. I am now living with my sister & her husband @ 16305 White Oak Ave.,Lowell, In. 46356. I see someone stated they have a home to give to charity. I would take anything at this point, but really do want this home. How do people vote for you? I did not see that anywhere when I entered the contest.
Marjorie – The grand prize winner will be selected in a random drawing, see here: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-dream-home-2011-giveaway…. However, the housewarming gifts will be chosen by online voters.
I wish they would just give this house away asap so I can get it out of my head once and for all!
I feel like this home was built for me and my family. Every year we travel to Stowe for Thanksgiving and all gather together in a house that we rent. We LOVE Stowe and have had many fond memories for the last 13 years that we have been doing this. This is a trip that we all love to take every year. The coziness of gathering around a fire and spending time together with my husband, children, parents, sisters, brother and their families is priceless!! I am dreaming that we can all gather in the HGTV Dream Home this Thanksgiving!!
I am a hard worker and so many other pepole in the world are to i can remember living in my truck trying to keep my son worm but did not have a lot of gas i could see my son trying to stay worm with my arm around him my father bless me with a job that i love to do one day it was taken from me one day i'm liven a good dream the next day we are liven in my truck do to a bad man that was very abusive my father always find a way no matter what you get what you offer.

My dream home…my family dream home;):)
This is house of dreams. I have lost most of my home to a disaster and all of it's contents and insurance won't refuse to cover my losses. I have lost 2 years of my life and have been homeless. This house would save me and would put me in earthly heaven.
It is so me, it is like being outdoors while comfortable in your home. It is not a house it is Home. I love it in everyway. so much has been thought out with the best of design and comfort!
Thank you for this give away of dreams. I am from a farm and want to go back to the country. I have lost my husband. My Dog would be so happy here and a dream come true. We are ready to move in today!
Has the 2010 Dream home been awarded yet?
I have a question, it seems funny, that they have a dog house for two small dogs. It is as if they already know who they will Pick. What if you have a cat or a large dog or any number of other pets?
we would love the HGTV dream home. We had a verry ruff year. We have a 14 yrold, 2 yrold and a 20yrold.
We all pray every day. Our family needs this. My husband and I seperated the 1st year of the 2 yrolds life.
He has ajusted well. We neede as a family to do well. We all pray every night that this can happen to us. We both ar hard workers. My husband is a great plumber. He can fix everything. Please give us a chance. You will not be disapointed. I promise . Please give us some thought. We need to get out of tybee, and start our dram life. We so deservr ity. I lost my dad at 48. He also had 2 sons. Please help!!!!

hey how do u enter the contest plz help i wanna win so badly
It would be a dream come true if my husband and I could retire to this fabolus dream home. My husband is an engineer he can fix everyting so he could keep the house in perfact condition.Itried to tell you of all our bad luck but your space wouldn't take it. I just wish something good would happen to us and we could have a new start. If you gave us this house I would write about living in this fabulous home you could also film us exercising and me cooking our favorite meals and my husband making handy things for our home. This would be the greatest and best thing that could happen to us.
the place sounds like it has been already been given away with the dog house just the right size, I think it is not right giving people false hope and is the right place to enter.
