Our stay in the Christmas Cottage was wonderful. Our family included myself, my grown daughter, my 81 year old mom, and our dog. The cottage suited all of us beautifully. The foliage, views, and hospitality was spectacular. It was quiet, close enough to drive to other towns. Even a shopping trip for my daughter to Manchester outlets was only 45 minutes away. My mom enjoyed feeding the chickens. There were many craft fairs going on in neighboring towns that we visited. The Connecticut River Valley was just gorgeous. And Peter gave us a wonderful tour of his historic home. The house was lucky to get Peter and Sandra as homeowners, as they have restored it magnificently. I hate to tell too many people about this special place, because we surely want to return again soon. Maybe even venture up to pick out that special Christmas tree that my mom has her eye on!

Hi, my name is Lacey I am 12 years old and I live in NJ. I enjoyed my stay at the cottage very much. The house was very cute, it has one full bed, a couch that has a pullout bed so two people can sleep. The cutest little kitchen, a nice size bathroom, and a flat screen TV. There is a little house next to the cottage that Peter built with a little porch. Inside there is a couch, TV, and a ladder to go up to the small loft where there are two twin beds. It would have been fun to stay in there. Also they have different kinds of animals that you can feed and pet, I really enjoyed that. I even got a chicken named after me, now how cool is that! The main owner’s house on the property was built in the late 1700’s and was owned by Lewis R, Morris that’s where Peter and Sandra live. They where nice enough to give me a tour and tell me about the history about the house. They where very nice, and helpful with information on things to do and places to visit. One of my favorite things was getting a great cup of hot coco, ask them about that. I really enjoyed my stay, and maybe we’ll get to come back. I hope the next tenants enjoy their stay also. :)

Dear Peter and Sandra, Please accept our apologies for the lateness of this note. We have savored and shared our fond memories of our visit with you every day since we departed. From the moment we arrived at the farm we felt as if we were honored guest that you had known for a long. We never sensed that we were viewed as outsiders, but rather as part of the family. Our every request was acted upon immediately. As a matter of fact you two, Charles and Tim seemed to continually be looking for ways to make our stay more pleasant without any request from us. Your generous hospitality was overwhelming!

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome in the cottage. Our hosts, Peter and Sandra, had already provided everything to make us comfortable and at ease. The facilities were exactly as described, but there were also thoughtfully provided extras to add the personal touch. The area offers many opportunities for a wide range of daytime activities, as most other reviewers indicate. It also provides for those keen on astronomy: nighttime light pollution is very low in this part of the valley. We had an excellent week.

A Most Beautiful Setting

My vacation at Christmas Trees of Vermont was wonderful in every respect. All of my needs were immediately met by the gracious Mollica family. The setting is perfect for a Vermont getaway as I was surrounded by 1000's of Fraser fir trees & an orchard with apples, plums and pears.The friendly goats Jingle and Bell as well as the chickens added a special touch of the country life to my stay. Being accross the road from the Connecticut River was a bonus. Staying at the adorable Christmas Cottage is like walking back into history as it is furnished with lovely antiques. Everything was immpeccably clean and I would highly vacationing at CT of V for an authentic back to nature Vermont experience.

We loved our week at the Christmas Cottage. It was perfect for the two of us. The cottage is quite small and would probably be uncomfortable for more than a couple. We loved roaming around the farm, feeding the roosters every evening, and drifting on the Connecticut River on the farm's canoe. Peter and Sandra are wonderful hosts who did everything possible to make us feel right at home!

We just came back from 1 week of the most RELAXING vacation I've ever had. I loved the Christmas Cottage. Peter and Sandra are wonderful "innkeepers." The mountains and rows of Christmas trees are spectular. We would sit on the front porch with our morning coffee or in the evening taking in the sunrise and sunsets. The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable, made you feel right at HOME. Peter would stop by and give us some insight on the surrounding areas and wonderful restaurants to enjoy. We took him up on ALL his suggestions and was not disappointed. If you have a stressful job, as I do, or you just need to RELAX, this is definitely the place to come too. Peter and Sandra THANK YOU for a wonderful vacation and you can bet you will see Ralph and I back again. Barbara

The week spent in VT was all and more than we had expected. The Christmas Vacation Cottage and the hospitality of Peter and Sandra enhanced our appreciation of the beautiful natural setting. Our spirits were lifted as our bodies were refreshed. We are grateful for such new friends.
