Very cool spot

Our group booked this place for a ski trip to sugarbush. A remote area, but the cabin was very cool and our host were the best. The warm cinnamon twists in the morning were a big hit and the hot tub was perfect after a day of skiing. Would definitely look into booking this in the summer/fall.

Lovely

We were in Vermont for my daughter's graduation and loved staying at the cabin. It is beautiful, and Carol and Marty are wonderful hosts: responsive and welcoming. A special treat: homemade cinnamon twists delivered to your door.

This place was magical! We booked it for just one night, to cover a gap we realized we had on our cross-country road trip. We were just happy to have a place to stay roughly in between our northern and central Vermont destinations, but it turned out this was the best rental of all. The cabin and property were both so beautiful! The screened-in back porch was so quiet and calming. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning meant we slept well. The cinnamon buns Jaime and Chris delivered in the morning were delicious! The property has well-marked trails so we could enjoy being out in nature, but we didn’t have to forego modern amenities (There was WIFI and a car charger). I wish we could have spent a lot more time here. We will definitely come again the next time we are in Vermont.

AMAZING ACCOMODATIONS

It is impossible to say how amazingly wonderful the cabins that Marty and Carol constructed in Ripton, VT. Each cabin is nicely separated from the others. And each cabin has all the conveniences of home with TOP QUALITY appliances/AC/ etc. The rooms are fantastic, the woods used inside are all stained or natural and blend perfectly together. The quality is tops..you can feel it. The doors are solid, the table and chairs are stable, the WiFi is perfect, the bathrooms are perfect and of a great size. the shower is huge and a walk-in !!! The mattresses are top quality, the terrace with table and chairs and floor to ceiling windows are marvelous !! What a place...just the best cabins we have ever seen!! These people are bright, hard working, of good humor, down to earth and just totally devoted to your comfort and satisfaction. Can't recommend this wonderful hideaway enough! And they are wonderfully PET FRIENDLY....just totally amazing.

My daughters 4th birthday

I was very excited to come to Vermont to ski with my family for the first time and celebrate my daughters 4th birthday. Marty greeted my boyfriend and I while my parents were out food shopping. He was nice but we were a little unsettled when he told my daughter “happy birthday little girl” instead of asking for her name. Marty did explain his policy for not having young children in the hot tub because there is a risk of them using the bathroom. Unbeknownst to my boyfriend and I, my parents took my daughter to the hot tub late at night after enjoying her birthday cake. When my boyfriend and I went to use the hot tub early in the morning Carol was standing in the empty hot tub cleaning it out. I greeted her “good morning” and instantly knew there was a problem by her cold reaction. She told me my daughter had been in the hot tub and she now had to come out in below freezing temperatures to hand clean it. My boyfriend and I were so stunned at her tone and mannerisms that we literally could not respond. She then began tapping on the window to the laundry room to alert her husband Marty to join in on the tongue lashing. We apologized and said we forgot to inform our elderly parents about the child rule (not to mention my daughter did not and would not relieve herself, she is trained in swimming school). We quickly packed our belongings and left. We knew there’d be a possibility of feeling out of place because let’s face it, a black family in Vermont isn’t the norm. But all in all, we made the best out of our stay.

We warmly welcome guests regardless of their ethnicity, nationality, gender, race, religion, age or sexual orientation. We had very pleasant interactions with these guests and received positive feedback from them until the morning of their departure. On that morning, we learned that they had taken their diapered children into the hot tub during the prior evening despite our clear reminder and their agreement that the hot tub is not intended for small children. The presence of the diapers in the hot tub required us to perform decontamination procedures in accordance with VT Dept of Health requirements. That included bailing, cleaning, disinfecting, refilling and chemically treating the hot tub. We performed these steps at 7am at 10 degrees F in order to minimize the impact to our other guests.

Wonderful place to spend time with family.

I can't say enough about our stay at Marty and Carol's beautiful place. They were so accommodating, and there are so many thoughtful touches - not only in the cabin, but across the property. They even made temporary dog tags in case a visiting dog wanders away! We look forward to being able to come back some day!

Amazing Romantic Getaway

We loved staying at Marty & Carol's special place in Vermont. We could tell as soon as we arrived how much care & attention to detail went into making the property. A few tips: -Save the google map journey & details about the reservation (your cabin number) before you depart. We lost signal right after entering Ripton. -The hot tub is shared between all 7 cabins. We got lucky and were able to use it a couple times, but others were waiting on us to leave. -If you love movies, the loft has an extensive selection of DVDs! We brought a chromecast and were able to stream our favorite movies that way. -There is a sledding hill & sleds! We had so much fun sledding together-- we felt like kids again! Thank you Carol & Marty for hosting us, we had such a great time and will definitely be coming back!

A Quiet Getaway

It was my boyfriends 24th birthday so i surprised him with a weekend get away in the woods! Marty and Carol made him a customized Happy Birthday sign that sat at the end of the driveway so that was a nice surprise. This place really is WAY in the woods which was perfect. Our first night in the cabin was amazing everything was really clean and cozy. The town to get food isn't too far maybe about 15 mins. The next morning of your stay Carol makes homemade cinnatwists that are delivered to your door, they are to die for. The cabin offers a lot of things to do on the property such as snowshoeing and the hot tub and a loft area with games and such. My only complaint is when booking i thought that each cabin had their own hot tub which is not the case. There is a shared hot tub with all the cabins that are renting. (6) total i think. Not a huge deal but something to keep in mind while booking, Overall it was a really good stay and would still recommend!

We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to help make your boyfriend's birthday special! We do wish that VRBO's amenities section provided an option to differentiate between a private or common hot tub. We try to clearly communicate that we have seven cabins on our property. For the benefit of future guests that might be reading this...We've positioned our 6 person hot tub so that our guests can enjoy the panoramic view of the Green Mountains. It's available 24x7 and is located under roof, near our common area. For our guests' convenience, a bathroom and shower plus complimentary robes and beach towels are just steps from the hot tub.
