We were visiting family in nearby Brandon. The space was perfect for our needs. Kitchen was set up with breakfast items and fridge had eggs, bread, milk, water, and basic condiments. The piano was a treat and allowed me to work on some preparation for a concert in the coming week. David is a very attentive host and the story behind the place is fascinating.
My husband and I couldn't have been happier at Camp Tiger Ted. Our host was wonderful in every way, welcoming and responsive to us, clear about caring for his beautiful property, and helpful whenever we reached out. It was a bonus to have the lovely piano, which I took advantage of on several occasions. We visit this area of Vermont often and we certainly will consider staying again, and we've already recommended it to others!Thank you, David, for such a delightful visit.
We stayed here for 2 days. We travelled from Virginia to vermont for a Graduation. The house is warm and inviting as soon as you walk in. It was immaculate and had all the instructions for the house readily available . He has a awesome story and photo album of the back ground to his home. Would definitely stay again.
It was such a lovely stay. Everything was super tidy, clean, comfortable and cozy. We especially loved reading about the story of the build. Would absolutely recommend!

The craftsmanship that went into this private cabin was impeccable. Everything was very clean and David was a thoughtful host. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
Our stay went well. We stayed two nights, a night before and a night after a bicycle tour. The home is well equipped and comfortable. It was also very quiet.
Our stay at Camp Tiger Ted was so wonderful. The amount of detail and care David put into building and now maintaining the property is second to none. The house was meticulously clean and had so many charming details. David also gave us both massages in his in home studio which waA the most relaxing way to end our stay!
Wonderful property with an unbelievable story! The cottage is extremely clean and well-equipped. Unfortunately, we were not able to take advantage of everything the property and surrounding area had to offer due to a limited amount of time.
The best place I’ve stayed in. It was very clean, easy to find, and had all the amenities you could ask for. Super cozy and a a great deal overall for the price!

Lovely cottage
David's cottage is lovely and charming, all the more so because he built it himself!
We attended a wedding in Goshen. It was a ten minute drive. It worked out perfectly. The home is very clean and comfortable! The host even turned the porch light on for us for our late night return.
This cottage exceeded our expectations! The craftsmanship and decor was amazing, from the outside to the inside. The attention to detail was noted from the start with the extras thatDavid provides fro his guests. So clean and so comfortable. Would highly recommend when visiting this area in Vermont.
was was very obvious
Perfect in every way - location, quietude, cleanliness, accommodation, charm of owner. Description of property and previous excellent reviews all lived up to. We recommend a stay here to anyone unconditionally. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We loved the cabin, which has a very personal touch. We loved the chats with David and his personal stories.
We loved to sit outside and have breakfast (partly with things that David provided).
We also enjoyed the outstanding quality of the woodwork and the love to every detail.
This is an absolute recommendation for a stay in Vermont.
This was such a great place to stay. So unique and inviting. We actually cooked a lot here instead of going out to eat because it was so relaxing and such a romantic setting. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Can't say enough positive things about this place.
We had a great stay here for our snowboarding trip! Far enough away from the main Killington area without being too far away. Property manager was awesome and HIGHLY recommend the massage therapy that is offered as well. Very quiet, clean and lovely place to stay. We'll be back for sure.
Unexpected illness ultimately cancelled our trip; however, the owner was very accommodating and worked to keep things as smooth as possible. Kindness and great communication.
Overall 5 star experience. Very clean and just as shown in pictures online.

I do Swedish style massage therapy with hots stones. I charge $70 for a hour plus session. The many early reviews are from my listing in Charlotte where I used to live.
