The house was very comfortable. We spent alot of time cooking and playing games. The dining room was large enough for all of us. The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable.

The property was perfect for the short time we stayed. My family and I did not have to want for any home essentials. Communication with property management was excellent and prompt. We look forward on returning in the near future.

both for work and pleasure i do stay at fair amount of short term rentals. This house is extremely well maintained and managed. All utilities work perfectly, everything is brand new, and it is definitely the cleanest place that we had ever stayed at. Location is also perfect. Close to bars restaurants mountains whatever you might need.

Great Host
Cathleen was great. Made every effort to make sure we are comfortable and happy. Clean place and Quite place. Very happy with our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better host or stay. Thank you Cathleen! Would visit again!
Great home. Quiet street, close to Vermont relations' home.Space for the 7 of us, plus for our Vermont grandparents and cousins to drop by for a couple meals.Do adjust listing - one of the beds was a full, not queen.

From the owner: "Thank you Linda please you and your family are always welcome! I really appreciate your eye for detail and all the feedback along the way!"
The home was clean comfortable and cozy! The upstairs appeared to be recently renovated and the description did not include all of the accommodation on the third floor. It was absolutely beautiful! The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We spent most of our time away from the home but it was perfect for meals and short stays!
