Thanks for the positive review! I’m happy the cabin is situated fairly close to several great downhill ski areas (Okemo, Magic, Stratton & Bromley) and a little further to Killington. Glad you had a chance to enjoy the mountains. 🌲⛄️🌲🏂🌲⛷️🌲

Fantastic gem in Chester

Beautiful place that was somehow very convenient to town and everything we wanted to do, but then also secluded and surrounded by nature. Very cozy and Gene was so helpful and we made the most of our time thanks to his suggestions. Would love to go back again soon!

I know what you mean. There’s nothing like enjoying the radiant heat of the wood stove burning, especially if sipping a cup of hot chocolate and relaxing from some vigorous outdoor activity in the Vermont countryside. You certainly can do that at the cabin with the free, cut wood provided. I do it every chance I can in the wintertime! Gene, the Jellybean - owner

Quaint little cabin, basic needs for a peaceful family retreat

Our family of four enjoys the area and we’re glad we found this little gem. We love to ski together so we drive north for better skiing and mountains. This cabin is convenient to a lot of opportunities to ski and dine. We’d recommend this place to any small group wanting a cozy cabin to enjoy.

What a great host and stay. Gene welcomed us with news of the local winter carnival and we had a blast with kids riding in a horse drawn sleigh and on mini snowmobiles. Kids loved the cozy cabin. I loved the vibe, cabin made me nostalgic for a stranger things episode ;)

Yeah, what’s better than an old fashioned, rustic, real log cabin with a wood stove, that’s sportsman themed with antlers, a ruffed grouse, a front porch with rocking chairs, board games, a guitar & accordion for your use, a couple of fish and a singing deer on the wall? Well, it’s my cabin, that will bring back fond memories of a past era, yet let you enjoy all the modern conveniences you are used to, like electricity, fresh well water, warm furnaces, a refrigerator, microwave, gas stove, 2 TV’s, 2 DVD players, 2 smart speakers, flush toilets, and a shower for two. Glad you and the children loved the cabin, just as I do. Come back again! Gene - Owner Extraordinaire

Well, I’m glad you enjoyed your visit. I strive to make it pleasant, cozy, & comfortable for visitors, just as I do for myself when I utilize the cabin personally. I like a clean place with a well stocked supply of amenities. That’s why I try to provide the same for my guests. Thanks for your comments and desire to come back again. The cabin is great during every season of the year (even mud season, though some folks would disagree with me on that. - ha, ha!).

Great winter stay!

We had an amazing time at Gene’s cabin! It was charming and cozy. We were in Chester to ski at Magic Mountain and Okemo, and the drives were pretty quick. We had planned on going out to eat, but both nights we were too happy to make a fire and watch a movie to leave! We will definitely try to come back

Quirky Cabin Perfect for a Winter Ski Weekend

The cabin was exactly what we were expecting and just right for our ski weekend at Okemo. Gene was there to greet us and show us around the cabin. The cabin is definitely rustic, with a beautiful view from the front porch, warm inside and plenty of entertainment options for tired evenings. The kitchen was just enough for quick after-ski meals. Would choose this cabin again.

Glad you enjoyed the cabin! Yeah, I had to decide what was more important: WiFi in an Outhouse or WiFi in a warm bathroom with a flush toilet. It was a tough choice, but chose the latter. Thought about putting a crescent moon cutout in the bathroom door, but decided for privacy sake, not to do that. Have fun, take care! Gene, the Jellybean- owner 🌲🤪🌲🎃🌲

Enjoyed My 2nd Stay Here

Just spent my second time at this cabin having previously stayed here in Fall 2022. It's in a great location and is already stocked with supplies and tools. Tons of hiking trails in the area and Chester is only a short car ride away. Warm in the fall and cool in the summertime. Great view from the porch as well. Plenty space for one person but also a good amount room for a family or multiple people. Host has been helpful and communicative every time I've stayed here.

Anniversary Weekend in the Woods

We had a great time at Gene's cabin. It was small and homey and perfect for our getaway. The singing deer head by the fireplace is great fun and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch with our morning coffee watching the leaves fall. It is easy to find and near quite a few amenities while still feeling remote. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner our first night there. Be sure to sign the guest book and be surprised how long Gene has been renting this cabin out!

Wow, you found the old guest book! Yes, I’ve been letting folks enjoy my cabin for quite some time. Since on-line reviews came aboard, people hardly write their wonderful experiences in the book anymore, … let alone find it on a shelf. Glad you did! Also glad you got to hear “Bucky”, the singing deer. Thanks for the nice comments, … and please come back again. You’ve experienced the Fall foliage so, now it’s time to think about the Winter snow, Summer sunshine and Spring rain, that all make for unique & memorable memories in and around the cabin.

Perfect Cabin for a Cozy Getaway

This cabin was the perfect little spot for a New Years vacation. It’s easy to get to, has parking on site, and is a short drive to get groceries, some shops in town, and more. We loved the nostalgic feel of the appliances and decor, including the retro Nintendo comforter! We cooked all of our meals while here, the stove and oven worked well and there were plenty of pots, pans, etc. The fireplace was easy to use and warmed the entire place well, even during a snowstorm. We made good use to the CD and DVD collection. Will definitely be staying here again!
