Overall a pleasant stay, loved the hiking and the peace and quiet, but... the wifi was not reliable, went out every night for about an hour. Also no shades in primary bedroom, but put was clean, very spacious, and I had fun there. Host is super friendly and accommodated early check in and late check out for me. 4.5/5, sorry they wouldn't let me do half stars

I'm happy you had a pleasant stay Will. We will remedy the situation with the blinds. Also, after contacting the wi-Fi network, we were told there were an outage in the area throughout the whole region. It's unfortunate but we usually have a very good connection up there.

Nice spacious place. If your goal is rural Vermont, this is it. Don't know why the bathrooms are so tight, you literally rub up against the walls while showering and on the toilet. Could use a bunk bed or futon upstairs for additional guests. Also k cups would have been nice since there was a Keurig.

Hi Patty, I apologize that you found the bathroom small. The shower is actually standard size. The house is listed as rustic, and this is part of the charm that returning guests come for. There is a futon for additional guests on the first floor, perhaps you may have missed this. I appreciate your feedback and unhappy we could accommodate your large group. We even allowed you to check in early to get ready for your wedding.

Very quiet and peaceful spot

We love staying at maria’s place. She was very communicative and attentive to our stay there. The location is about 10 minutes from Putney Village, the Putney school, and The Greenwood School. Tons of room and we enjoyed hanging out on the back deck Watching the leaves turn and fall.

Lovely stay

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is spacious with very comfortable bedrooms in the upper level. You can tell the host has taken great care to ensure a comfortable stay. Would certainly come again. Be prepared for the drive in, there are properties around the home, however be sure to bring everything you need for your stay. We forgot to get milk on our way in and it’s about a half hour drive to the nearest grocery/gas station. This did not impede the quality of our stay, but keep that in mind.

I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay. You and your family were wonderful guests. I wanted to point out that the village of Putney is 15 minutes away. That has a general store and co-op. But you are right Brattleboro is a half an hour away with restaurants and much more available. Come back anytime!

A really beautiful place in the woods

This place is gorgeous! Really beautiful property, down a long secluded dirt/gravel road. Several friends and family stayed here with me for my sister's wedding. The hummingbirds in particular are just amazing (dozens of them!!). We slept eight folks here, one on the futon and one on a blow up bed. I will say the bedframe in the primary bedroom is a bit squeaky. But overall a lovely place to stay, very nice setup for hosting people for dinner.

Beautiful spot!

Although it was a beautiful location and we made the best of our stay it was a little misleading. The discrimination didn’t let you know that you shared the yard with another rental. The house was clean but there was mice which isn’t a huge deal being in the middle of the woods how ever it was unsettling to have them just running around at night. We stayed for a weekend for our girls trip and the water heater didn’t work until the night before we left. The host did have someone come out and fix it but that took up 3 hours of our time while a man came in to fix it. And no one was able to shower until the night before leaving. I feel like when you pay almost $900 to stay somewhere and not even have hot water then the host should maybe offer a free night next time or reimburse you some of your payment. How ever the only thing the host did was call us to make sure she didn’t get a bad review since this was her job. Kinda of disappointing. I get that things happen and even through these little issues we did have a great time! The hostess did respond when messaged and the place was beautiful!

I sincerely apologize for this unfortunate and rare situation that occurred over the weekend. We have since rectified the situation and taken measures to prevent it from happening in the future. Thank you again for your feedback, I am always looking to improve as a host, so I appreciate your honest opinion. My goal is to make sure my guests have a wonderful experience. As you stated above, it is a beautiful, special place. My guests have always found it magical as you can see from my other reviews.

Lovely Home in the Mountains

This is the only home share I have been to where the photos do not do it justice - it actually looks better! The entry and directions were simple, the place was setup and ready to go and everything was where it should be. The heat and hot water worked great, the kitchen is perfect and the deck is beautiful and in great condition. We will definitely return!!
