  This vacation cottage is lovely -- cozy yet uncramped, comfortably decorated yet uncluttered. I love that its age is obvious, with its old-fashioned feel retained, but it has been updated so beautifully. I stayed for 3 nights while visiting friends in the area and it was perfect. The house is fully outfitted, whether you want to prepare a meal for a crowd or bring pizza home and just watch a DVD with your sweetie. The neighborhood was very quiet while I was there (Fourth of July week). Lovely walks around the little town of North Bennington (even a few restaurants and shops), a lake and trails nearby, and Bennington itself only a short drive away. I couldn't have asked for more in a getaway retreat.

  We would stay here again. The pictures are accurate and the location, next to a church across from a school both were quiet. There's a good sized front porch and back yard with table and chairs. We were at home and relaxed. This is now my go to place in Bennington.

  We stayed a week in the charming Gardener's Cottage in summer, 2011. Feels like home without feeling like "someone else's home." Kitchen was well appointed for those who don't want to eat every meal "out." The front porch was a lovely place to sit and read a book with a glass of wine each evening after dinner. Our children appreciated the cable TV and internet. Walking distance to a nice swimming/picnic area on a lake. We will definitely visit again!

  We've stayed here twice when visiting family in the area, and I can't get over how perfect this place is. The decor is charming and uncluttered. The beds are very comfortable. We've rented several places through vrbo.com, and this one is the standard against every other is compared. It's everything that the description says and more. I can't think of a single thing to make it more perfect.

  We loved this cottage. Wonderfully decorated. Walked in and immediately felt at home. So glad to have picked this option versus one of the many B&B's in the areas for our long weekend birthday/Tour of Battenkill cycle race getaway. We have a 9 mo daughter and this cottage was perfect for our small family. Loved the location--walking distance or short car ride to great restaurants, bfast and coffee places, and good supermarket (Hannafords). Great 2.5 mile running loop from back doorstep! Owner very responsive and I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family (although just not when we want to go!)
