So glad you enjoyed yourselves! Looking forward to hosting you again. Thanks for staying at the Gray Goose Cottage!
This was an absolutely lovely property. The photos on the site don't do the property justice. Everyone who stayed enjoyed having such a lovely place to relax after each day of non stop theater. Everyone loved just how close it is to the heart of Mt. Vernon. Would book again if the need arises.

So glad you enjoyed yourselves! You are welcome back anytime!
Beautiful, clean home with well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. A heads up to future guests - the dining room table and benches are immovable and may be difficult for some people to use.
My family came to Mount Vernon to attend a wedding. We found the place amazing, the place wonderfully clean and the location perfect for our family of five. We had no issues with the property and would be willing to stay again in the future!

My extended family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is absolutely beautiful, location is perfect, and the host is friendly and responsive. The house is stocked with so many special surprises and amenities. If I ever choose to have a VRBO property, this is the benchmark of perfect!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again!
This beautiful house has been lovingly remodeled and appointed with cozy bedding and accessories. Our girls weekend away was made extra relaxing by this welcoming house. Huge kitchen, soft beds, quiet neighborhood with llamas next door! Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Highly recommend.
We were in town for my son's wedding. We couldn't have had a better place to stay, my husband, my parents, my son and daughter.
Everything we needed was at the home and very well thought out! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful! My father grew up in Mt Vernon, went to Mt Vernon HS and really had fun coming back!
Our daughter will be attending Kenyon as a freshman beginning next fall and this is the perfect place to stay. The cottage is amazingly well-maintained. Everything is first-class. We couldn't have been happier with our accommodations and recommend this property to anyone staying in the Mt. Vernon area.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Rarely do I stay at a place where the property is better in person. Grey Goose Cottage did not disappoint. Very clean, very comfortable and very spacious. Extra touches like a stocked coffee bar, board games, high end appliances and wireless chargers on all nightstands just added to the quality of our stay. The llamas next door were a plus!

The Gray Goose was warm, inviting and very clean. The host went above and beyond with the extras. The flowers, the yard, fire pit and gathering areas were perfect. Your neighbor could not have been more kind to us. Thank you for sharing your home.
