What a fantastic stay! The cottage was lovely and perfect for our small family (2 adults, 2 little kids). The grounds were beautiful, we enjoyed the fire pit, zipline, kayaking, and beautiful views. Mary was a fantastic host, and available as needed. It was the perfect the location for us to explore surrounding areas for the day, and very close to Warren, Rochester and Waitsfield for restaurants, swimming holes, farmer's markets, Sugarbush mountain, etc. Tranquil, relaxing vacation.

We enjoyed our stay for the most part. I would recommend replacing the futon as it was very uncomfortable to sit on. Was a little disappointed that I couldn't go fishing anywhere because of a drought in the area everything was kind of dried up. But overall things were very clean and it was a very quiet pleasant stay in a beautiful surrounding.

Peaceful Getaway

The cottage was perfect! Great location in the middle of the Green Mountains. The cottage included everything we needed. Very clean. Very peaceful which is what I was looking for on this trip. There was a guest manual that included everything we needed to know. Mary is very accommodating. The pond and yard were nice. Nice selection of yard games including kayaks and a zip line. Highly recommended!

Peaceful

The cottage was perfect. The location was peaceful. It wasn’t as warm during the day so we were unable to take a swim, but everything you needed was there. Check-in is as a breeze. The kitchen was fully stocked with any dishes you may need. The stove is gas which was wonderful to cook on. On the back porch there is a gas grill along with seating. You will not need anything for the fire pit, she has it all there for you. She has double filtered well water and it is delicious tasting water. I’m a huge spring water fan and this water was just as good!

Great Place to Access Multiple Ski Resorts

Mary's cottage is fantastic. Sugarbush and Killington are 20 to 40 minutes away. Stowe and Okemo are about an hour. Waitsfield is about 20 minutes and has good shopping/resturaints. You'll definitely want 4WD in the winter.

Cute Winter Getaway

This cottage was just the right place for me and my boyfriend. The cottage was nice, clean, warm, and organized when we arrived. We had no issues during our stay and the home owner was more than nice and inviting. Small mishap with the washing machine at the very last minute but the home owner offered to dry it for us and ship it back to me! :D Best stay yet and I’d love to come back in the future.

Cozy Stay in Vermont

This was the perfect little cottage for our girls trip to Vermont from the south to see the fall foliage! Very cozy, extremely clean, and tucked away for privacy. We did not spend much time here since we were exploring towns but on our last day we took a walk down to the pond on the property and it was stunning and so serene. Mary was so sweet and made sure upon our arrival that we were settled in. House had everything we needed to be comfortable. Will absolutely stay here again if we venture back up one day.

Off the beaten path and quier

We stayed for 6 weeks enjoying the country wooded area. It had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. Some might say it is out of the way, but that only added to the peace and quiet. We were only a 15 to 20 minute ride Rochester to the South or Warren, Sugarbush and the Mad River Valley to the North. Our hostess made us feel welcome.

Great place to experience Vermont!

My husband and I along with our 1 year old daughter stayed at Mary’s cottage in the middle of July. The property is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The pond was a great area to come down to in the morning and afternoons to have snacks and let our little one float at the pond’s edge. Mary recommended two great hiking trails that would be easy for our family. Would highly recommend Texas Falls and the Robert Frost trail for families. Great picnic areas at both as well. We also drove into Burlington for the day. We took a different drive there and back. Amazing scenic views! Mary also made a great recommendation for a family owned restaurant, American Flatbread. Fun environment and great food! The vacation was exactly what we were looking for. Time away from “regular life” and just getting to relax. It was a great way to experience Vermont since neither of us have ever been there. Mary was such a gracious host and would kindly check in on us to see if we needed anything. There were a couple minor issues at the cottage that Mary immediately addressed. Would highly recommend this place as your next vacation!

A summertime Vermont vacation to remember

We had a great stay in this adorable cottage in Granville. Fall & Winter in Vermont gets most of the attention, but summer in Vermont is just superb! Beautiful weather, amazing scenery, local grown food and dining, you really can't ask for better. And this location ties it all together in a well-appointed cottage on a small slice of heaven. Cozy accommodations with all the comforts of home on a quiet property with access to a swimming pond, a firepit, and plenty of equipment for many sporting activities. Great for either a couple or families. The local area has lots to offer with restaurants, swimming holes or waterfalls, a movie theater, brewery, and it has some truly spectacular mountain and valley scenery. This location also works well for day trips into the Capitol city, Montpelier, or Burlington, Vergennes, or Stowe or exploring any of the many small Towns that make up the fabric of Vermont living. Our host Mary was just lovely. She was a knock or quick call away to help, if needed, but also gives you the space to enjoy her wonderful property. She made us feel very welcome. Words cannot truly capture the beauty of this unique Vermont experience, but we would highly suggest you try it. We guarantee, you will like it! :)

Cute little cottage in a quiet location

Mary was a lovely host and made sure we had everything we needed. The property was wonderful, with a fire pit, propane grill, hammock, kayaks, small pond, and more. While the town itself is small and remote, it doesn’t take too long to drive to nearby places. There are some great trails and amazing scenery nearby. Perfect for a weekend getaway or if you want to go “camping” without being outdoors.

Cottage in Granville

The place is listed as 500 sq ft, but space is used very efficiently so it appears much larger than it is. The cottage and property are clean and well taken care of. The backyard has lots of activities for families. The sunset are stars are beautiful. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time here. Mary is a gracious host. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to unwind

The location of this cottage is perfect for anyone wanting to go out and explore. It’s located about 40 min to an hour from places to explore, with waterfalls and little towns along the way. Mary was wonderful, we thankfully didn’t need anything from her during our stay, but we always knew she was available. My family of four (including a 2 and 4 year old) stayed in the cottage. The boys slept in the futon on the main floor and used the loft to play. We swam in the pond and the boys loved playing in the dirt and stone with their trucks. There’s kayaks available, a zip line, a hammock and many other games/things to do outside right on the property. We definitely will be contacting Mary to stay here again if we decide to come back to Vermont!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Falcon

Host profile image
Hi—For the past two years I rented my guest cottage to two dear friends but now I'm back on VRBO! Here's the story of who I am and how I—a born and bred New Yorker—ended up in Vermont. To briefly escape the hubbub of New York in 2002, I spent two weeks with my best cousin in Vermont. For months after I returned to NY I dreamed of living in Vermont. A year later, thanks to the Internet, I was able to make my dream come true. I bought the property right next door to my cousins place and moved to Vermont for good. A 25-year veteran of the higher education publishing industry, I no longer have to live where the company I work for is located. I telecommute.

Why they chose this property

I love participating in the small town life of Granville. And I love it up here by my lake —clear and blue in summer, iced over in winter—in the fresh Vermont air, among the snow covered mountains and hiking trails. But what I love most about my life here is that I can work and vacation in the same place. In the summer I can swim in my private secluded lake, work in my vegetable and flower gardens, go for long walks, hang out with my cousin and her horses, and still put in a respectable day’s work at the computer. I work longer hours in the winter, but still get plenty of exercise walking, show shoeing, and snow shoveling. My son and his family love it here in summer, but even more in winter as they are avid skiers. So I always seem to have family visits on the horizon.

What makes this property unique

In the picturesque area of Granville, Vermont, you'll find an amazing escape surrounded by natural beauty. If a peaceful and secluded retreat is the vibe you want for your vacation, this is the perfect place to be. Nearby towns like Rochester and Waitsfield provide convenient access to a variety of shops and eateries, allowing my guests to explore local culture and cuisine. Whether you're craving outdoor adventures or a relaxing getaway, Granville and its neighboring towns offer the best blend of serenity and convenience for a memorable stay.
