This was a very well maintained and family friendly property. The kitchen was perfect, and we had everything we needed to make dinner and enjoy the beautiful view. The kids enjoyed sledding outside and exploring the woods. It was minutes away from a little store that had groceries and delicious pastries. The host was super responsive and had the driveway plowed as you definitely need an AWD in the winter. We would definitely go back!
This house is in a great location- close to Quechee and Woodstock. It had everything that we needed for a week long stay. The listing says it has air conditioning; however, the AC is actually a few window units. We had to keep unused bedroom doors closed to keep the spaces we used comfortable and it still got a bit warm at times.
The house is spectacular, inviting, and fun. You can tell that this is the owner’s home away from home and not just a rental property. It makes the experience infinitely better.
Cozy log home in the woods, easy drive to Okemo and Killington for skiing. Kitchen had everything we needed to make casseroles and a birthday cake. Fireplace was lovely on the cold winter evenings. Snow was cleared each morning well before we headed out for skiing. Traditional VT butcher/market/cafe less than a mile away was an added bonus. Owner was very responsive to questions.
Great remote location with hills to sled on. It was a little hard finding the right kind of firewood but we finally located some. Beds were a little hard but the view and family room made up for the beds. My family enjoyed sledding in the back and it is close to all the small towns we visited during Christmas.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar 2020
We are really happy you enjoyed the house with it's special location. I have heard people say that the beds are a little soft. It is hard to please everyone all the time . Please come again.
We really enjoyed this home. Most things were clean with a few dirty things in the kitchen. Loved how much they had to cook with and useful items, though the freezer was very full. We did not understand where to put food scrap so i just took my trash home. Bedrooms were great size and enough bed options, though a couple hopks in the shower would be useful. Great house for kids, friends and family. We enjoyed our stay.
This rental property is stunning and the pictures do not do it justice. We spent six nights and the house had everything we needed. Every convenience is provided; all we needed to bring was the food! Quintessential New England towns were nearby for shopping and exploring. Mountain biking and hiking trails abound. The owner was responsive and very easy to communicate with. We’d happily rent this home again!
The house is lovely and owner very responsive. Power had gone out the day before we arrived and owner responded quickly. House has many amenities but could use more glassware. Three bathrooms is great although master bathroom sink needs some repair to allow water to flow. No issues with showers. Had a great time and would return.
10 of us came in to South Woodstock for the August Horse Trials at GMHA. We ranged in ages from 11-64. The house was a perfect size for us as each family was able to have their own bedroom. The kitchen was a perfect size for us to cook dinner together after getting back from a long day at GMHA. The deck was the best place to relax before, during and after dinner as evening we watched wild turkeys congregate in the meadow below.
Easy booking. Easy check in process. Large spacious home. Kitchen stocked with most of what we needed to cook with. Loved the walk in pantry. Loved the fireplace and views. The beds had a very firm foam overlay that was uncomfortable. Check out was somewhat frustrating and disorganized as I felt pressured to vacate at 10am from texts, phone call and email, even though the check out time in the agreement stated 11am.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was a perfect size for our group (2 families with teenage kids). We really enjoyed the living room space as well as the fireplace. The location was a bit further from Okemo than we expected but that was fine. The driveway for this property is very steep, luckily both families had 4x4 vehicles which was necessary to access this property in the winter. We did wake up one morning to an ice covered driveway which made leaving the house impossible. We contacted the owners who were very responsive, the driveway was treated with sand within 2 hours and we were able to go about our day. Unfortunately we did miss that day of skiing, but got to explore the area and made the best of the day. We are looking forward to visiting the area again and would stay at this property again.
We all had a wonderful time at this very beautiful and scenic escape home. The grandchildren all had a great time playing outside and building puzzles, knitting and playing board games.
We had some icy days and the driveway was promptly sanded and we were able to get in and out with no problem. We all loved the dining nook off the kitchen. What a great addition. Thank you, Sheara!! We all would love to come again! Bedrooms have all ready been reassigned!!!!

Surprising find in Brownsville, VT-right where we needed to be!
It was pure relaxation. My family of 8 spent the long weekend after Thanksgiving with a surprise celebration for my husband’s 60th birthday in his childhood town! This beautiful open concept family room with amazing fireplace was the perfect setting to play games and enjoy down time. The yard was secluded/off the beaten path and it was nice to have an outdoor fire pit to hang out at and to enjoy the views of Mt. Ascutney. An added pleasure was happening upon the Christmas tree lighting ceremony and arrival of Santa a the most quaint village of Brownsville. We will definitely plan to stay there again as it one of the nicest VRBO’s we have stayed at. Best birthday present ever!!
The house was spacious enough for all !!It was clean and well equipped !The fire place was awesome and we burned our own wood as we used the fireplace everyday! Nice big TV,s throughout the house and plenty of parking!! Not too far if you need to go to the store or venture down to Woodstock for some shopping!! Nice little Butchers Pantry just down the road!! My only complaint was that everyone didn’t care for the mattress toppers used on the beds., They were hard and uncomfortable .. But sometimes it is just what you are use to for a comfy nights sleep!!

About the host
Hosted by Mark Burkholz
Mark Burkholz is the Director of Technology at a private school in Massachusetts and Sheara Friend is a domestic relations lawyer in Massachusetts. We have 2 grown boys who work near Boston. We grew up in NYC and came to New England because we are outdoor enthusiasts. Each year we lead students kayaking to various countries in Central America. We love the Woodstock area because of its beauty and how much there is to do no matter what the season.
Why they chose this property
We bought this house because of our love of the outdoors and its incredible location. The house with its spectacular views and creature comforts is in one of the premier vacation locations in New England. The nearby restaurants are great and there is a lot to do in the area no matter what your preferences. Across the street is The Climb Fitness center which contains a large pool and welcomes guests. We love the proximity to Woodstock and the nearby ski areas such as Okemo and Killington. During the warmer months it offers everything you can want to do and during foliage season the beauty is not to be beat. We hope to retire to Vermont one day and we cannot think of a more beautiful and more interesting area then the Woodstock area.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with our home because of the main room with its cathedral ceilings and its floor to ceiling glass wall with amazing views of Mount Ascutney. The kitchen with its cherry wood floors, soapstone counters and a fireplace makes it a pleasure to cook for the family. The 3 decks are unique especially the enclosed deck off of the master bedroom. We have never lived in a more comfortable house.
