We highly recommend staying at this VRBO listing. It is in a great location to easily get to anywhere in the vicinity. It is a very cozy house that is fully furnished and decorated very nicely. It has everything you need and even extras furnished like coffee, spices, water, and more. We were surprised to find a nice gym in the basement for us to use.Neil has been wonderful to work with and communicate with before and during our stay. He made sure to check on us mid-way through to make sure we didn't need anything. It has a nice fire pit and yard with a beautiful view. This was our first time using VRBO and it was an absolute amazing experience. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Neil Gibbs

Host profile image
Greetings! My name is Neil, and I'm 59 years old. I've been a self-employed home health aide and caregiver for 23 years now. My journey began with an animal rescue group before I found my calling in caregiving. This house holds a lot of special memories for me since I grew up here. At the moment, I'm residing in the historic homestead next door, built in 1875 and once owned by my great-grandparents, alongside my partner of 13 years.

Why they chose this property

This delightful split-level ranch, constructed by my father in 1970, is situated in a small, friendly town that has a Mayberry-like charm. It’s nestled in a valley between two mountains, providing a tranquil setting with minimal road noise.

Hancock is the perfect entry point to the breathtaking Green Mountain National Forest, known for its natural beauty and diverse recreational opportunities. Whether you’re into hiking, fishing, skiing (downhill or cross-country), snowshoeing, swimming, tubing, or more, there’s something for everyone.

Hancock Haven is bright and airy, thanks to an 8-foot picture window in the living room. The open layout allows for easy conversation no matter where you are in the house. Oh did I mention, there’s also a sliding glass door that leads to a spacious 20-foot deck.

So come, kick back, play, and stay a while!
