Vermont floods of '23

this place is absolutely beautiful, the views, the house, the communication was all above and beyond. we stayed here during the floods in July '23 and we had no way to get home from roads being washed away and John made sure we had everything we needed and he let us stay an extra night. it was quite a scary experience but he really put our minds at ease and we Will definitely be staying here again! thank you again for everything!

Wonderful family trip

Wonderful family vacation in Vermont! House was big and set up great for large group. Fully stocked as advertised. Redo of the barn was outstanding. Pix on website not up to date. Windows in barn need shades, especially on street side. Did not expect the close proximity of main road or non swimability of the pond. Nice view though. Needs new coffee maker. Takes hours to make a pot of coffee.hot tub was great, but slow in getting to a high temp. All in all, great time!

Peaceful Getaway

We had 8 people stay at the property and we had an amazing & peaceful time. The property was clean and had everything we needed and plenty of card/board/yard games and we loved being able to take the kayaks out. The host was available as-needed. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again - thanks for a great experience!

Family vacation

My wife and I stayed at the house for a week with our adult son, adult daughter and her adult boyfriend. We also brought our dog. Since VT had all that flooding recently a couple of the rooms had some flood damage but the property manager offer accommodations in lieu of the one room under renovations still and since we had a smaller party it was fine. We loved the porches espcially the screened in dining room area. There was plenty of seating outside. We are very outdoorsy people so the lake was a big draw for us. It was great that they had kayaks and a canoe to use as well as plenty of life jackets (even some for kids). The part of the lake near the house was filled with lillipads which made getting in and out of the water easy (steadied the boats) but made fishing not possible from the shoreline but that was really the only drawback of the place. The property had a couple outdoor games, the firepit and a large grill. And the dog loved all the space to roam and relax. The place was very clean, well stocked with kitchen and cleaning supplies and the house offered enough space for us to spread out if we needed a break. Definitely recommend staying here with the extended family.
