Comfy cabin

Absolutely perfect, David was spectacular. The cabin was amazingly clean- it felt like walking into your home. He was so generous and considerate with supplies. One of the absolute best places we have stayed!

A lovely little getaway

The place is spotless and very well equipped. The host David was very helpful with ideas for dinner etc. And was very thoughtful with items he left for guests in the kitchen. It is a very relaxing setting with a lovely deck for taking in the outdoors and listening to the birds. The location is perfect for an easy drive to either Brandon or Middlebury - both lovely towns. The only drawback is the bed upstairs can only be exited from one side which can be difficult if people need to get up during the night.

Hidden Gem

We were visiting family in nearby Brandon. The space was perfect for our needs. Kitchen was set up with breakfast items and fridge had eggs, bread, milk, water, and basic condiments. The piano was a treat and allowed me to work on some preparation for a concert in the coming week. David is a very attentive host and the story behind the place is fascinating.

WONDERFUL!

My husband and I couldn't have been happier at Camp Tiger Ted. Our host was wonderful in every way, welcoming and responsive to us, clear about caring for his beautiful property, and helpful whenever we reached out. It was a bonus to have the lovely piano, which I took advantage of on several occasions. We visit this area of Vermont often and we certainly will consider staying again, and we've already recommended it to others!Thank you, David, for such a delightful visit.

Gorgeous and Cozy

This was such a great place to stay. So unique and inviting. We actually cooked a lot here instead of going out to eat because it was so relaxing and such a romantic setting. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Can't say enough positive things about this place.

We had a great stay here for our snowboarding trip! Far enough away from the main Killington area without being too far away. Property manager was awesome and HIGHLY recommend the massage therapy that is offered as well. Very quiet, clean and lovely place to stay. We'll be back for sure.

Extraordinary place with an extraordinary host

We loved the cabin, which has a very personal touch. We loved the chats with David and his personal stories. We loved to sit outside and have breakfast (partly with things that David provided). We also enjoyed the outstanding quality of the woodwork and the love to every detail. This is an absolute recommendation for a stay in Vermont.

I am a massage therapist, swing dance teacher & motivational speaker. The log cabin on the property has a complete massage studio where you can schedule a massage. I do Swedish style massage therapy with hots stones. I charge $70 for a hour plus session. The many early reviews are from my listing in Charlotte where I used to live.
