Weekend Stay

We spent the weekend at the house. Meg was a very gracious host and remained in communication with us throughout our stay. The place was clean and came complete with everything needed for a weekend away. Thanks for hosting us.

Everything we needed

We stayed here for our niece’s wedding. Much better than a hotel. The house had everything we needed. Very comfortable and convenient. Gorgeous yard! It was roomy enough to be able to all be together or find a quiet spot to be by yourself. We all really felt at home there. I would rent it again!

Wonderful!

This was the perfect house for our group of 4. My husband and I had the master bedroom with private bath. Our friends each had a queen bedroom and shared a common bathroom. The house was plenty big. The backyard is beautiful with all the flowers and the fire pit. The host keeps a very clean house and even leaves a little chocolates next to the beds. She also left us a bottle of wine. It's a very quiet neighborhood and only 20 minutes to Burlington. I would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Meg

I am a wife and Mom of 4 young children. My career has been focused in healthcare with an emphasis on patient satisfaction which is one of my strong skillsets. I have recently discovered a love for decorating and have enjoyed hosting for my guests who travel here for a variety of reasons. During my 10 years running my own business, I learned that rules are a good thing for clear transparency and expectations between you and your customers. I hope that I have portrayed the home precisely as you experience it and that I have left some fun discoveries for you upon your arrival.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a private, serene space for you and your family, or a small group of friends, or colleagues to gather then this is your space. You will notice the peaceful energy when you walk through the front door. Influenced by Thai culture which connects you back to the earth, the flowers and yourself.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy a game of outdoor raquetball in the back yard. Grill a nice meal in the backyard, eat at the large table for 6, enjoy an evening fire in the firepit (wood is supplied) while you are surrounded by the activity of birds, and the earth's friends.
