  We had a large group for our stay and there was plenty of room for everyone. The place was very clean. It was definitely a plus having the general store across the street.

  This house is completely sufficient and functional for a big group, but lots of little things made it not as nice as it could be. The ad suggests that you don't need to bring towels because all linens and towels are provided. Unfortunately our group followed these instructions and were surprised to find that there were insufficient towels provided, and the towels that were provided were very small and thin. There were quite a few other very small things that made the stay less enjoyable than it could have been: multiple lamps that were broken, light bulbs that were blown or just missing, we couldn't figure out how to control the temperature, there was no hand soap provided in the kitchen, a pull out sofa was half-broken with the mattress falling through, there was only one frying pan in the kitchen (to feed everyone in a place that sleeps 14, I would think more than one frying pan would be provided), and the owner sent us directions to the wrong house. These are all fairly minor concerns, but they add up. That being said, the house has some lovely benefits. It has a working dishwasher. There are good instructions for testing the hot tub to make sure the water is good with instructions about which chemicals to add for different test results. It has a shower upstairs and a bath/shower downstairs, both of which worked well. It has plenty of room for parking cars. The stream behind the house provided for a really nice hike behind the property. Although the house is right on Route 100 it is set back just far enough that it doesn't feel like it's on the major road. Also, being right across the street from the general store is very convenient. There is an extensive VHS movie collection.

  Owner response: We thank this group for sharing issues they had while staying in our home, because we always want our guests to have a wonderful, worry-free vacation experience. Our property manager is available 24/7 and could have remedied their problems swiftly -- but they never contacted us or called him during their stay. As soon as we found out about the broken sofabed it was prepared, but the renters waited until after they left to complain. We could also have easily told them how to control the three-zone heating system, designed to keep every area of the house cozy and warm on cold winter nights. Again, they didn't ask! The lamps are being repaired (most just needed to be plugged in), and a towel and kitchen pot inventory is being taken (although new towels and pots and pans were purchased just before the winter season). We work hard to maintain our home to the highest standards and are immediately responsive to guests when they contact us. We can't, however, help people who "suffer in silence" and wait till after they have left to complain. The Little Brook House at Echo Lake is welcoming and ready to go for future renters. If you run into any issues during your stay, we encourage you to contact our property manager right away!

  My friends and I just got back from a weekend stay at the Little Brook house and it was great. The house was big and very clean and slept the 12 of us easily. Lots of things to do in the summer. The front yard was big and the owners had a volleyball net, badminton, and even a horseshoe pit. The back deck was nice and secluded with a running brook going right through the yard, and the hot tub was great even in the warm weather. The house is minutes away from the lake and there is ton to do in the area. I plan a weekend trip every year and these owners were a pleasure to deal with. I definately recommend the house to anyone going up to the area in any season.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

  I just wanted to let you know my family had a wonderful week at the Little Brook House. There was room for all of us. We enjoyed the Brook but all the rain we have had this Spring and Summer has made it a raging brook!! The man at the Tyson Village Store said it’s usually a calm stream at this time of year!We had one full day and night of torrential rains and an afternoon and night. We got to sit out and play in the yard with our grandchildren.We used your list of 20+ favorite things to do also. We had stayed in the area the previous 2 years and had already done some but found quite a few new suggestions. We actually saw a moose at the crossing!We will probably head back to the Echo Lake area next year and hope your home is available for us.

  Thank you very much for sharing your Home with us. My mother and grandmother and I had a wonderful time. We loved the Brook out back and the Jacuzzi( which we didn't think we would even use!). Vermont sure is beautiful and I enjoyed my morning runs aided by your suggestions in that very helpful info book! Thanks Again, Lisa

  Just wanted to say thank you, we had a great weekend at the Little Brook House. The January thaw didn't bring the best ski conditions, but it did cause the brook behind the house to be running full speed, which was just spectacular while sitting in the hot tub. We may come calling again next season!

  I just wanted to say "thank you" from our group! We had a fantastic time at the little brook house and truly loved every minute of our stay. Everyone skiied on Saturday when we were lucky enough to get a little snow, and we spent the rest of the weekend just playing games, watching football, and enjoying some of the great titles from your movie collection (Silverado was a real hit!). It was also very nice to be able to sit back and relax in the hot tub on the back deck. We made great use of the kitchen, although I think we ate waaaay too much, and we had a fire roaring the entire time we were there. All in all, we were more than pleased and are already talking about possibly returning next year.

  We had a FANTASTIC time at Brook House this past weekend!!! The house was just as described. We all had a great time hiking up along the brook, the waterfalls were so beautiful. The weather was a perfect 70 degrees everyday, so we were able to sit out on the back deck and enjoy listening to the brook, and sat out front just to hang out. Thanks too for the list of things to do, that was a great idea. We had such a great time that we are thinking of coming up during the summer!! I'm leaving feedback on your site to let everyone know what a great place Brook House is to stay at. Thanks again, Sincerely, Gail
