The leaves are changing. If your thinking of heading up to Vermont, keep us in mind.. Have a great week
The house was very clean. The host answered text right away, kitchen well appointed. To cold for the pool but we did enjoy the hot tub. We will be back.Mike
Place was like advertised. The kitchen was amazing - top line appliances with every utensils you would need. The bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. The outside was tremendous from the hot tub, pool and the propane gas grill. John was great and easy to contact if need.
This was a great place to stay for a ski trip in Stratton - it was about 30 minutes to drive to the mountain, but along beautiful roads with lovely scenery. The house is well supplied with high quality cooking supplies - love the handy notes on items reminding us to use filtered water or wooden utensils in order to take care of them! Hot tub was great for sore muscles from skiing, and the master bedroom is enormous. This is really a mini-retreat center.
Our family stayed here with some friends….We all loved it! House is spacious and clean. Outdoor patio with pool and hot tub is lovely. Some minor issues, but at no fault to the owners, and there was great communication all along. We loved hanging at the fire pit and the surrounding gardens are beautiful! We can’t wait to come back!
