Lovely wooded location in Newfane, Vermont. 3 spectacular bedrooms with super comfortable beds. A lot of refined interior design decisions and color choices. Large kitchen area —We never felt cramped. We also spent a number of hours sitting happily around the wood burning fire on a snowy evening. Jamie, our host, was incredibly nice, helpful, and available for any questions we had. We travel to this part of Vermont regularly and will look forward to staying at this property again.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025
