We had a wonderful stay! The house was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We chose this location because we were visiting our son at Landmark College and wanted to enjoy some time together exploring Vermont. The location was perfect for both, offering a peaceful setting with easy access to the surrounding area. Check-in and check-out were simple and hassle-free. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return!

Perfect spot for family gathering

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Four couples and there was PLENTY of room for more! Loved the location - cute village and little shop for milk/bread/etc. It felt like home! Stayed up late playing cards and dominoes, got up and cooked breakfast for everyone. Room for everyone to move and relax - will gladly return if the occasion to go up that way again presents itself!

Hey Tim, really glad you enjoyed our place! Sounds like you used the house exactly the way we do when we go up. Do not hesitate to reach out next time you are coming out this way. Please let me know if there is anything else we can do in the future to earn your 5th star the next time you stay! Cheers, Chris.

Excellent Family Reunion

Thank you Chris for allowing us to stay at your long time family house. Fascinating pieces and history of the house. Plenty of room and supplies for the 8 of us. Of course we gathered every night after dinner in the family room with a roaring fire playing games and watching movies. Great country store and BBQ restaurant within walkable distance. Friendly neighbors and an authentic northern New England experience. Look forward to coming back

New Year’s visit with family

We had plenty of space in this lovely house! We were visiting the area to visit our family friends for the new year. Their teens and ours loved the room with the fireplace, they could hang and be silly and loud while we put our 5 and 7 year old to bed.I didn’t hear them at all!! Beds were comfortable; we all slept great. Great option to have a bedroom on the downstairs level with full bath as we were traveling with my MiL who has a hard time with stairs. The shop down the street (walkable) was wonderful and well stocked. Chris was quick to respond to questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Great for a group getaway

Me and some of the men from Church have an annual weekend getaway and this place was an excellent choice for this year's time. There are large rooms where everyone can gather in one place and there are plenty of tuckaway spots if folks want to talk in a quiet spot. Chris is excellent with pretty much immediate communication. The house is in a quiet part of a quiet town. But it's surrounded by a number of destination places, which Chris lists out in his documentation. If I had anything I would add to the description of the place, it would be to add pictures of each of the rooms. Also add that there is one large room that only had a space heater for heat. Not a huge deal if the door is left open so heat from the rest of the house and funnel in. We would definitely use this house again.

Family reunion

This is the house I grew up in along with my 5 siblings and our parents. All six of us stayed at the house and Mom visited for the day. (Dad has passed). It was a surreal experience. Lots of “do you remember....?” We had beautiful weather and walked around town (a rather large, noticeable group). Ran into people we knew from “the old days”, took lots of photos and reminisced. The house was basically as we remembered it. Mom did most of the renovations and upkeep from 1969-1994. It was nice to see her handiwork still there. We had a wonderful visit. Thank you Chris and Kristine for sharing “our home” with us.

Enjoyed our stay

Our group of 9 adults/4 kids enjoyed our stay here. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed for the week (sans food, of course). There wasn't much to do in town, so most days had us driving elsewhere for hiking, eating, etc. But the boulder scrambles/climbs on the river were fun and walking distance from the house. We appreciated the size of the house and the fact that we could send the kids into the family room to hang out and play when adults wanted to chill out on the other side of the house. There was also a nice side lawn to set up corn hole boards and a badminton court. A fire pit and some additional outdoor seating would have been nice. I didn't go into the market in town, but everyone else said it was nice. It was easy to communicate with Chris and overall, we'd recommend this property to other groups.

Hey Ruth! Really glad your group enjoyed your stay! It's funny you mentioned the fire pit, I've been planning to do some work on the outside for a while, so I think for the next time you come, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Thanks again for coming up to the house and glad you enjoyed it!

Spacious house with lots of cozy qualities

This house easily accommodated three families of four. We had plenty of space, and the common rooms were perfect for socializing. The house is well stocked with the basics - sheets, blankets, cleaning supplies, etc. - so there's no need to worry if the house will be ready. Great location and a nice, quiet street. We really enjoyed our time here!

Great Winter Stay

My family just stayed in this home for New Years' weekend. 10 adults and a 1 year old and we all had a wonderful time. The house is cozy and there is plenty of room for a large group. It is in a picturesque town not too far from a variety of ski slopes. My family skied Stratton Mountain and drove back to Saxton's River to warm up by the fire! The place was clean and had everything you could need stocked up. The owners were very responsive - overall just a great experience!

Cozy New England home!

I had the pleasure of staying here with a group of friends during the summer once. The home is cozy and spacious. We had plenty of room for all. A lovely country home in a quaint part of Vermont. Close to mountain trails, refreshing lake with waterfall and cute local restaurants. Would recommend to anyone in search of a real New England getaway.
