Winter Wonderland

This was a fantastic property nestled in the woods. It was so private and quiet! The house was so well stocked, you don’t see that often, which saved us from having to buy the essentials for cooking etc. The owner was a great communicator and so helpful! We will look at staying again!

Surrounded by nature

This was our second year renting this lovely property. Especially wonderful is the fact that the large great room has almost floor to ceiling windiws . You feel so connected to the beauty of the wooded setting. The great room is also nicely sunny The setting is quiet and serene. Though there are nearby houses we neither saw them nor heard any noise at all. The back deck is very private and great for grilling and enjoying a peaceful meal al fresco. Large master suite with jacuzzi tub. Lots of twin beds throughout for extra sleeping in addition to a second main bedroom. Also the owner is very friendly , easy to contact, and always responsive and helpful if needed. Thanks Chris! Great place for those who enjoy quiet serenity! ..

Spacious + Conveniently Located + Perfect for Our Needs

We were a group of five 50+ year olds staying here for an annual mountain biking trip to ride the trails at Ascutney. Everyone had their own room and easily moved about the common areas of the house with plenty of space to spread out. ACs located throughout the house kept us cool during 80+ degree weather and the screened windows came in handy on the rainy nights to let the fresh air in while keeping the bugs out. The large deck off the back served as a meet up spot for nearly every meal and board games were enjoyed on the large kitchen table at night. We used the large front porch to gear up for our rides and then to hang out on while we enjoyed a post-ride beverage. A hose is located conveniently to the side of the front porch which we used daily to wash the bikes. The location of the house cannot be beat if you plan to ride the Ascutney trails. Owner Chris provided spot-on directions and a map to access the trail system from the Town Forest parking area located a short 5 minute pedal up the dirt road. It just doesn't get any better than this if you plan to ride the Ascutney trails and explore the surrounding area. Oh, and the kitchen has absolutely EVERYTHING you could ever need or want to prepare and clean up a meal. We'll definitely try to rent this home again the next time we come to the area to ride.

Quiet Hideaway

Our stay was terrific. The home is quiet, safe, serene, and quite comfortable. Our stay was during warmer months and every area of the property was cool and relaxing. It felt like a “home away from home” and there was plenty of space for everybody to find a quiet nook for themselves to read a book or come together to play a game. I would imagine that the property is cozy regardless of the season. For those who just can’t stay away from technology, there was plenty of access to fast and efficient Wifi. I highly recommend both the property and the property management; we were treated to an experience reserved for beloved family or old friends. Thank you!
