Will go back for sure

Overall our stay was fantastic. 100 acres, trails, the ponds. I think the dogs had the most fun! Living in the Green Mts. of Vermont I'm not easily impressed by natural beauty, but the drive there and views from the deck were top notch! AND!!! It's not mentioned in the description, but wild raspberries and blackberries abound, practically steps from the door. We were there July 30-Aug 1, and we easily picked 2 pints. Already looking forward to going back next summer.

Great location for those who like nature, peace and quiet place to relax and recharge. Pros:Nice cozy house with beautiful views, fresh air, overall in good condition. Private pond for fishing is great. The property is well maintained. Clean bathroom, clean rooms, plenty of towels, kitchen stocked with all basic supplies and needs. Washer and dryer in good working condition as well. Cons:The dishwasher wasn’t working, which is not a deal breaker but it would be simply fair to inform us of that. You can tell that people before us loaded dirty dishes and then needed to unload them to hand wash. Showerhead was working but probably would appreciate an update. Overall we really liked the house, the location and the property. We will gladly book it again.

Our third happy visit

We had yet another good week at the Hobart House (as we call it), with all the quiet and comfort we enjoyed in previous visits. In this age of sprawl, the expansive views were intact, and the house itself was clean and comfortable. We took a hike up and over the mountain behind the property, enjoyed the pond, picked a few wild raspberries and sat around the firepit to soak up the cook evening air. We'll be back!

Charming house away from everything

This is a charming little house on a beautiful property. No neighbors in sight - the house is pretty secluded. The driveway is a little tough for a 2-wheel drive car, but manageable. It might be challenging in wet weather though. Cell phone signals were spotty but accessible enough (esp compared to the rest of the area - on T-mobile). Check-in and check-out was super easy.

I booked for 2 nights. Ended up staying only 1 night and kids didn’t sleep all night. For some reason huge bugs kept on coming from somewhere and were hopping over beds. See attached pictures for reference. Kept the lights on the whole night to scare them but none worked. Appliances are old and rusty. Dishwasher dirty and doesn’t work I believe, didn’t bother to turn it on. See attached pictures My 5 year old saw a baby snake by the deck entrance, he ran like no tomorrow, scared and crying. See attached picture of deck and zoom in close to base and house wall, you will see snake head sticking out. It was a baby snake but kids got scared. At this point decision was made to leave early and not spend another night here. Booked a hotel close by for the remainder of the stay. Bigger Pond is pretty and well kept. The smaller one has over grown vegetation all around, no way to get close to it. Hiking trails sign is there but not well maintained, fallen trees and no markings, pretty much figure out yourself kinda trail.

Secluded

Overall a relaxing little vacation. Some more attention to detail would have added to our experience. The dishwasher wasn’t working, the propane tank for the bbq didn’t get us through the weekend, indoor floor mat would have made keeping the white floor clean a lot easier. Some instructions on where to put dirty linens also would have been appreciated. Only saw 3 ponds, one was usable. If you are looking to relax and sit by the fire this is your best bet. Not sure if I would return though.

Secluded and Relaxing

The property lists 116 acres and 2 ponds but almost all of the acreage is not accessible because of overgrown vegetation. The dishwasher was broken and we were not informed. No sponge no dish rack and no place to dry hand washed dishes. The kitchen lighting was so dim. The refrigerator motor was very noisy. The shower could use a grab bar for safety of guests.

Awful Alarm System

The land is beautiful. The house is decent and tastefully furnished. The major downside and spoiler of our vacation was the silent alarm that kept going off by the host indicating there was a big fire. The host provides a fire pit, but the alarm sensor must be too sensitive, because she kept getting alerted and the images on the camera at night show a fire that looks much bigger and scarier than it actually was. The host got furious at us and gave us a bad review because of it. If she doesn't want fires made on her property, she should remove the fire pit. Up until that point, the host had been nice to deal with and easy to communicate with.

Nice cabin, spacious, comfortable, clean. Road and driveway getting to property challenging, even with 4-wheel drive. Definitely wouldn’t attempt in winter. Host was very responsive and answered questions right away.
