Excellent weekend stay

As pictured, the main unit within the barn had everything we needed for a long weekend. It was clean and well-stocked, and very comfortable for two of us. Although on the main road it was set back enough to feel semi private. Perfect location for skiing. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic Stay!

The place was absolutely fantastic -- as soon as we walked in, we all agreed that it was great and the perfect place for Vermont. Plus, it was clean, well-cared-for and charming. The owner responded quickly to any questions we had we had, and she provided a book with local recommendations. If you're traveling to Waterbury or Stowe, do yourself a favor and book this one!
