We love coming here in the fall to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to play tennis. The clay court is always in wonderful shape and we play all weekend. We eat all meals in and enjoy the cozy atmosphere of the house.

My family and I spent my 40th birthday up in the peace and quiet this wonderful house had to offer. Not only was the property amazing for sledding and "attempting snowboarding"...we were able to bring out dog and be all together. The cozy living room with the large windows and warm fireplace just added to the treat. Close fine and casual dining plus the quaint town of Newfane put the cherry on top. Highly recommended!!!!

We couldn't have been more pleased with the house - and what can one say about the surroundings? Breathtaking! This is a lovingly tended property, with beautiful gardens and recreational space outside and comfortable, homey accommodations inside. Recommended without reservation and with great enthusiasm.

The house was exactly as described and worked well for our annual winter weekend gathering of 10 adults and 1 dog. We had a blast - snowshoeing, sledding, telling stories by the fire, and enjoying the view. It was reasonably close to Mt. Snow for those that wanted to ski and plently secluded for those that preferred to explore the surrounding fields and woods. I can see how a summer weekend would be a lot of fun here as well!

Me, my sister and brother inlaw had a great three days at the house. We brought our two dogs and had a blast. Plenty of room to run, and a few small towns to enjoy. Horses and goats in the back yard. We will be back.

Wow! We spent 5 glorious, beautiful days over Columbus Day weekend. The house is the best I’ve ever rented, from the spacious living inside to the glorious spectacular space outside. The beds were comfortable, the linens clean and the chest of DVD’s wonderful to watch. My seven and five year olds had a fantastic time playing on the big swing set and swinging on the tire swing from the tree. The dogs loved being off lead and roaming around the property with us each and every day. We will be back for a week this summer!

Dogs and their families had a great stay in July. We saw spectacular evening thunderstorms and did some great hiking up on Stratton Mtn which is not too far away. The pond was great for swimming on those warm summer nights. Highly recommended!

We recently stayed here and had the most wonderful time. As you pull into the driveway, the beauty of the rolling hills takes you on vacation immediately. At night from the deck, the brilliant stars shine brighter than I have ever seen. The house is comfortable, spacious, and inviting! I highly recommend staying here.

Our family group of older and young adults converged from Va, DC, Vt and RI for Thanksgiving weekend 2007. It was a wonderful spot for a family gathering - big and well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds - including reading lights for each bunk - and a dining/living area big enough for games and meals. Exploring the old cemetery up the road and the surrounding field - but mostly the expansive view - refreshed us all. We'd love to come back.

We had a FANTASTIC time! The house and property were perfect for us (2 couples, 3 kids, 2 dogs). We went sledding, skating, snow shoeing, and x-country skiing. Pond with slide was great for skating!
