The house is beautiful and has a gorgeous view, especially at night of the stars. Michael was super responsive with a couple of questions we had on logistics and supplies to bring. We would highly recommend staying there and will probably book again in the future.

Beautiful vacation home

Stayed with my family during the summer. House was big, well lit, and lovely. Short car ride down to the lake, or about a half an hour ride into Battleboro for a fun day trip.

Every essential provided-tp,pt,soap,laundry/dishwasher detergent,etc. AC not adequate for family room. Dryer did not work. Front entrance dangerous—2 slabs of slate and 1’ rise to porch. Difficult for older and young persons. Although surfaces were clean, house needs a deep clean and parts need a reno.

Beautiful VT House!

We stayed here a couple of years ago with our kids & grandkids and came back with two couples for a little getaway. House is so clean & well equipped! Great Location! We went sledding in the backyard and hiked Hogback Mountain which was perfect. Hosts are so pleasant and easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to returning again! You will not be disappointed booking this house!

Beautiful warm home

House was warm and spacious. Perfect for my family, including young children, to hang out for our first ski/snowboard trip. It was a 15 minute drive to Mt. Snow. We had a few days of rain, but we didn't mind spending the day indoors with a nice warm fireplace. Kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms well stocked with pots, pans, paper goods, and towels. Laundry was also easily accessible. Owner was very responsive whenever we had a question. Excellent communication. Thank you!

My family had a wonderful time at the house. We gathered in the very spacious beautiful living room by the fire in the evenings and played games. The kitchen was well stocked, spacious and comfortable to move around in. We loved playing ping pong in the downstairs room. Everyone slept great as the location is on a quiet road. The house is very close to the town, restaurants, shopping and fun!!
