This home was absolutely stunning!! The pond was so fun for adults and children, it was like having your own private lake right in the back yard. The home was very clean and welcoming. We brought our dogs and they also enjoyed running around and swimming in the pond. The Bote floats made for some great lazy days just enjoying the quiet and sunshine. The location is perfect. Quiet, dead end road. We couldn’t see or hear anyone from where the house is but close to stores if you need something. There are trails outback for bike riding or walking your dog. All in all, a perfect place for a family getaway. Ryan, the host, was very responsive and did everything to make our stay enjoyable!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Leite

Host profile image
Moved up to the NEK after falling in love with the Skiing at Jay Peak. Originally from Massachusetts, but remote work allows me to venture and enjoy different places. Fell in love with this house and would love to share it with my guests. I am a former Army officer and always paying attention to details. Have run another Air BnB in the past and have always enjoyed going above and beyond for everyone.

Why they chose this property

The property is on a dead-end street with only 4 houses on the street. Each house has about 20 acres each. The complete privacy is something out of a Christmas Hallmark Movie.

What makes this property unique

The pond is stocked with rainbow and brook trout and as clean as can be.
