Family Solar Eclipse viewing

Can’t say enough good things about our time in Vermont. The property owner was extremely attentive (had an issue with the furnace he had fixed immediately); I had reached out for a local photographers name and were sent several. The property was perfect for us, location was beautiful, house was very clean and had anything you would need. I could go on and on. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Island Pond

The host was very communicative. Place was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Kitchen was more than adequate but not as modern as some other places we've stayed at. However, we thought the security deposit, which amounted to three and a half times the cost of our one night, was excessive. Given that you have to wait two weeks for Vrbo to send an e-mail that your security deposit return is in process and may take another five days; just absurdly ridiculous. If you do decide to stay, highly recommend Jesse's Kitchen for take out dinner.

Island Pond Getaway

The place had everything we needed. Other than “leave all dirty linens in front of washer/dryer” there were no other directives so we just left the place like we have done with other VRBO’s. We had never been to this part of VT before and we love kayaking and hiking and there were plenty of places to go, but it would have been nice to have updated information for places to go and places to eat in the area. Wi-if is spotty so not always easy to look things up online. All in all a nice week.

Vermont visit

Very clean property - plenty of space and nice layout. We LOVED the HUGE backyard including the little river at the back property edge. Beds are comfortable. Lots of windows which we loved. Heads up - if you like to cook and are particular about things - the stove top is just ok and the knives are basic. That may not be an issue for many people so please dont let that be a reason to avoid this property. Owner/host is super nice and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Ferdinand

Hi, I’m a builder out of N.Y. Since 1971, And I love snowmobiling. So I bought a home next door to this one after staying a few years renting in Vermont and to be sure this was the best location I have found. So I decided to buy this home “next door” and improve the riverfront property. This home was one of the first homes built in Island pond and at the same time I restored it and now it’s a 5 star home offered at an affordable price. For sunsets, boating, 4by4, and snow machines you just can’t beat this place.

Why they chose this property

Location and just look at the pictures. The town also offers so much to do and explore.

What makes this property unique

Private large yard with plenty of parking and garage. Everything you need with the town within walking distance yet far enough for rest and relaxation. Private bridge with trail to vast in rear, 4 by 4 from property front and kayak from rear yard, with river to Island pond or travel as far as Canada the other direction.
