We lucked out finding the Pondhouse. Our host Ellen was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Location is excellent. Plenty of privacy yet short ride to restaurants, shopping, hiking, etc. the Pondhouse is very comfortable within a great setting. We plan on coming back

We loved being at the Pondhouse. It is comfortable, clean, and quiet. the original artwork in the apartment is beautiful. It is a peaceful space to relax in, and it is also close to everything we wanted to do (bike, bike, explore). Ellen made us feel right at home, and we enjoyed chatting with her a little. 100% A pick this one - it is really special!

This property is a gem! It was such a quiet, beautiful place with so much to offer! We loved having a cup of coffee in the morning sitting by the pond, hearing nothing but the breeze in the trees and the birdsong and walking around looking at all the beautiful plants and shrubs before we headed out for a hike. Great location for hiking around the mountains in the Smugglers Notch area and beyond.The pondhouse is comfortable and spacious with a lovely view of the pond! We loved it there and would love to return.Ellen was a friendly host and we enjoyed our “chats”. Thank you Ellen for a memorable special week!

Charming, cozy, clean and with a full kitchen. Peaceful rural setting with views of the mountains. Close to Smuggs. Perfect for a couple or single. Pet-friendly which is important to me because I try to bring my dog with me on my travels whenever possible.

Ellen was extremely responsive, and had small details ready for our stay that we didn’t even know we needed! It felt like a home away from home with views of the birdfeeders and thoughtful Vermont dedicated art.

Ellen was great and our stay at the cottage was very pleasant. It had everything we needed and was very cozy and comfortable. The WiFi was occasionally slow at random, but overall no problems at all.
