We had a lovely time here. Charlie and Susan were super nice and their pup Neo was such a sweetie. The property is amazing and had so many trails and even some waterfalls to explore. Nice quick drive to the lake or many of the hiking trails in the mountains surrounding it. The cabin itself was clean, so cute, and very comfy. Wifi is reliable at the cabin itself if you don’t have service and everything worked great. We would definitely come again!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie Recknagel

Host profile image
I am from California and spent a lot of my life in Hawaii, where I met my wife Susan. Between her large Italian family, and my time In Hawaii experiencing the Aloha spirit, we have always wanted to have a property to host others. We hope you feel at home on our land.

Why they chose this property

We love that Wells feels both remote, yet close to a lot of our favorite places in the area (30-45 minutes from Manchester, Killington, Lake George and Middlebury). We buy our food from local farms or grow our own. We are 2 miles down a dirt road. It is peaceful, quiet and beautiful.

What makes this property unique

Our property has a large swimming and fishing pond. We love enjoying coffee on our dock listening to the birds and the frogs. Outside our door is a class 4 road great for hiking, biking, and cross country skiing. Our property is 70 acres and you are welcome to explore.
