Perfectly located for attending a wedding in Woodstock. Surroundings are beautiful. Apartment was quiet & had everything we needed (including coffee, juice, and breakfast bread provided by the hosts.)
The Vermont Retreat is a darling place to stay. My son, daughter-in-law really loved the attention to detail and extra welcoming bread and condiments provided. They appreciated the pet friendly retreat and enjoyed their host’s being so helpful with suggestions of the many things to do in the area. The location is lovely and quiet and great restaurants are nearby. They hope to return there soon- thanks
Really quiet location - nice refuge for a few days to escape the noise from the rest of the world. Great place to see nature up close!! Hope that I can make it back again with my husband next time - perfect size for two people, and I think it dog will love it
we were not expecting dirt road to the property. with a heavy touring motorcycle the road and driveway were a hazard. car would be totally find. rustic property. close to killington was great for the restaurants. ellen and curtis were lovely hosts. they provided more than the minimum accessories. we had a nice time
What a lovely little place for us and our dogs (3 months old and 14 years old). Ellen was so lovely and welcoming and the area allowed for pups to play off-lead. Very private and beautiful. Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts who so graciously shared this little slice of Vermont with us! (The attached pic was taken in Bennington the day we checked out, not at the property. I didn’t want to mislead anyone! The actual property is very quiet and peaceful.)
Lovely banana bread greeted me when I arrived and there was fresh milk and orange juice as well. A bit off the beaten track, but a lovely one bedroom apartment just right for a weekend in Vermont.
My wife and I spent a very pleasant 2 nights here. Ellen had provided excellent directions making the unit easy to find. Ellen was there to welcome us (her home is just adjacent to the lovely converted barn we stayed in).The place was very comfy, with lots of thoughtful touches. Upon entering, we were greeted by a beautifully penned welcome note, along with a locally made chocolate chip banana bread!! Many areas in the flat have automatic night lights, making safety easier for we who appreciate it. The bed was very comfortable The outside has multiple nice garden and seating spaces that we enjoyed.There’s lots of outdoor stuff to do in the area. We did the short hike to Thundering Brook Falls, went antiquing, and saw a free outdoor concert in nearby Woodstock, VT (not THAT Woodstock).I’d highly recommend this place!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect location between events that we were attending. Beautiful location, wonderful house and attentive/ helpful hosts.
Great place to stay. Very clean and perfect place for my son and dog. Hosts were very friendly and perfect hosts. Delicious banana bread was waiting for us upon arrival and treats for our dog too!
This is the perfect place to stay if you are skiing at Killington / Pico.
Everything was wonderful. There was excellent communication, the place was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend away. Ellen really personalizes the experience with special treats upon arrival and tips for places to eat. She even scraped off our jeep when we were heading out. Thank you Ellen!
Me and my boyfriend came to stay here for a little skiing getaway for my birthday! It was everything and more we could have imagined! It was clean and SO cozy! It also was such a close distance to all of the mountains making our getaway perfect! Ellen was by far the best host I’ve ever had, she made sure we had everything we needed and was so welcoming! Whenever I’m back in the area I will for sure stay there again! Highly highly highly recommend!
This place was the perfect getaway! The property had everything we were looking for - quiet, peaceful, and close to activities. It looks exactly as pictured. The hosts were very responsive, helpful, and sweet!
Excellent communication even before we arrived which made everything very clear for us to check in late night. It’s the perfect space for us to relax after a day of skiing at Killington! It was quick drive from their place to the mountain. Ellen and her partner made us and our dog feel right at home. They have truly thought of everything that you could need for the weekend. I have recommended this place to friends, and we will certainly be back next year! Thank you again!

I absolutely loved my stay at this property. The accommodation is an apartment in a converted barn. It's a beautiful quiet location a short drive from Woodstock. The hosts were fantastic and gave me some great suggestions of places to visit, they also left wonderful muffins for my arrival. I would definitely stay here again.
Cozy and everything you could need. Really nice kitchen set up and excellent appliances. After a week on the road, the washer & dryer were a welcome refresh of clothing. It's a few minutes west of Woodstock down a country road, so secluded. Takes dogs - wish we had one!
A wonderful stay at Vermont Retreat. Love the wooded location. Quiet and restful. Hosts were readily available. Delightful to find banana bread, coffee, and OJ waiting for me, on arrival. The place was equipped with everything one could possibly need. The washer and dryer in the apartment were a very convenient plus! I hope to return next year.
Our stay at Ellen’s place was great! We were a short drive away from killington so that made it easy to get there in the morning! The place was clean and looked just like the listing, and Ellen left us a banana bread which was awesome! I can’t think of the last time I had a host as warm and inviting as Ellen, she really made the trip! The kitchen was also pretty well stocked for a rental, so we were able to cook pretty effectively. Overall, I think this was a great place to stay if you don’t want to pay the prices closer to the mountain!
