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.

Family Wedding

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.

Cozy place to relax and recharge

This was such a lovely place to stay! The cottage itself is very homey and well-equipped, with a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains - very green in the summer time. My college-age kid and I stayed for three weeks to get some serious down-time, and this was the perfect place. The cottage was very comfortable, with Vermont-y decor and a complete kitchen. The deck is a great place to hang out and watch the horses grazing in the pasture by day, and fireflies by night. It's close to Chester, which is a sweet little village with a well-stocked market (Smitty's) that has a surprising amount of gluten-free food. The owners provide a lot of information on the surrounding area, as well, though we mainly stayed put and walked the local roads and in the forest. It was a perfect rural retreat. I hope we get to stay here again someday!

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.

Weekend ski trip

We had a very pleasant stay at the cottage while on our quick ski trip to okemo. Cottage has the most beautiful morning views, probably the best I’ve ever had at a rental property in VT! Driveway and deck were shoveled and roads were plowed after any fresh snow, and cottage was very cozy.

Absolutely Perfect

I can't say enough about how wonderful this cabin is. Every part of it was well planned, from the furniture to the drinking glasses. It's cozy with all the modern amenities. The view is outstanding and the "neigh"bors are friendly and a special treat for horse lovers. Check in was a breeze and the cabin was very clean. Can't recommend it enough!

The property was not well kept. Something had expired under the bathroom floor or wall. Sign said to keep window open, definite dead animal smell. Outside not as pictured or described. Very unkept, not "rustic". Dead lawn mower in high yard. Bitten by spider, treadbare towels, same cleaning sponge used to clean bathroom after every stay...not sanitary. Same with kitchen sponge. We left after one night and incurred extra expense finding suitable lodging. Could be a nice place if better cared for. Definitely not Premier Host.

Our favorite winter getaway!

This is our 4th year in a row renting this house for a winter vacation. Our family loves it and we'll be back again next year! The house is well equipped for a family, we've been bringing our son since he was 3. Dog friendly too! It is small, but very cozy and has everything you need to prepare meals and hang out, as well as laundry for longer stays or emergencies! Always very clean and well maintained.

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
