We loved the beautiful, quiet, peaceful setting in a remote area but not too far from town. The house was wonderfully restored and well appointed with everything one could need. Hosts were very friendly and responsive to our questions. We will definitely want to return here on our next trip to VT.
Traveled with a group of 5 and had more than enough room here. Exactly what we were looking for! Very cozy. The master bed was extremely comfortable, bathroom was nice and clean with toiletries easily accessible, there was even candy waiting for us in the kitchen. Our host was extremely hospitable, responding to our messages promptly & making sure that we found everything we needed. Two of my friends left items behind, and our host didn’t hesitate to ship our items back to PA, even covering the cost of shipping. Cannot thank her enough!
