We arrived on a very cold, sub zero night. The house was warm and inviting. Walking into the kitchen and seeing the farm table and basket of local goodies was like coming home to a place reminiscent of the best rural version of "grandma's house" we could imagine. The kitchen had everything we needed for the fun meals we had planned. The morning views of the surrounding meadows and woods from the coffee nook were so delightful- binoculars included! Two sinks in the kitchen were a complete joy with all 6 of us enjoying simultaneous meal prep and cooking- no one was left out of the action! The 4 bedrooms were delightfully decorated and we were warm at night with the temps dropping to -20's. No frozen pipes and plenty of warm water in the 2 full bathrooms each of generous size with well positioned hooks, shelves and drying racks. We enjoyed the nearby Craftsbury Outdoor Center with it's excellent XC ski facility and perfectly groomed trails. We very much appreciated the washer and dryer coming home pretty wet after XC skiing. The house was stocked with all the games we could want along with cozy seating areas to enjoy reading or conversation. Plenty of room in this house which is decorated in a fun, colorful and tasteful way. We ended up using the handy tool box as we needed a screwdriver to tighten up loose battery wires - (2 dead car batteries one morning) but we were able to avoid waiting for triple A and get on our way for a second day of XC skiing. We all want to return next year!
