A beautiful location with great green mountain views. House is quirky buut comfortable. Stairs are very steep. Needs some updating. Great wood stove with lots of firewood and kindling. Quiet location on a dirt road. Close to Chester, Weston and Londonderry. Nice restaurants nearby.

The cottage was just as depicted in the listing. We found it cozy and comfortable - and, yes, we found it without any trouble despite the directions that initially gave us pause. We especially loved spending mornings and evenings on the deck overlooking a meadow. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and we cooked every evening, dining by a fire in the chiminea that was just wonderful.

2nd time staying here

The house was just as we remembered it. The mountain view from the deck was spectacular. We were so happy to see the horses in the yard! Our pups loved it too! We found an amazing butcher near by, best steaks we've ever had! We grilled each night and loved it. The maple creemees are a "must try". Each night ended with a nice fire on the deck and a view that can't be matched. We'll be back!

A cottage to remember

You are lucky if you get the chance to stay here. The cottage has everything you need including nice bedding and toiletries. The property is a horse farm with rolling meadows, sunshine, fresh air and peace. I hope I get the chance to come back again.

This is the perfect Vermont cottage you would picture in your mind. Myself and my two adult kids traveled from Virginia and fell in love with the place. The scenic views are amazing. The place is so quaint we kept the fireplace going laughed a lot and had a wonderful time. We absolutely will stay there again.

Wonderful Winter Escape

This was a great little space, especially for my wife and I. We had planned to have several side trips, but it was so cold and the fire and the view kept us happily inside. We cooked several meals in the cabin and then enjoyed the view.

Amazing, Cozy Ski Cabin

stayed here for a weekend while skiing at Okemo (25 min drive or so). Was perfect for our small group and had all the basics to cook at home as well. The horses across the street from the property made our day and were super friendly. We also loved the fire place. Would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn and Robert "Sam" Brown

Host profile image
We are Robert "Sam" and Dawn Brown - Sam was born in Vermont and I moved here when I was 13. We met in 8th grade and fell in Love. In Vermont you learn to reconnect with your friends, neighbors and family. It will be the most uplifting downtime you will ever have. Our two horses are generally right across the street and are very friendly as are all the neighbors. Don't worry about the road in the winter they keep it very well plowed and sanded. the picture is of us at Phelps Barn in Grafton VT on Christmas Eve.

Why they chose this property

It is the setting. Nestled away but open to a wide spectacular view. Horses, mountains, open fields and woods with a brook down on the lower road.
You get the sun in the morning and nice shade during the afternoon while you are out on the deck grilling .

What makes this property unique

DIRECTIONS - heading North on 103 into Chester keep going straight as the road turns into Route 11 go about 5.5 miles on Rte 11 then turn right onto the Chester/Andover road go 3/4 mile and just before the road starts to bend turn right onto the Potash Brook Road which is a dirt road. You will come to 2 forks, on the first go right and the second go left. all the dirt roads are dead ends so you can't get too lost. It is about 1.5 miles on the dirt road. You will see the white horse fence and big ARROW
