Sweet little cottage. Perfect for what we needed. Clean, well-appointed, host was super responsive. Stairs to the sleeping loft were a bit of a challenge.

Perfect lil cottage 2.5 miles from Jay. Has everything you need. Full kitchen to cook, bathroom w all the extras. Beds very comfy. Recommend 4x4 this time of year due to mud season. Will be back. Thanks. Loved the remote setting.

cozy refuge in arctic weather

My family stayed a couple nights at this extraordinary cottage built with straw bales. It is charming, warm, simply unique. The interior design is great and goes from lamps to furniture to soap like in a magazine. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need during a stay away in a remote area. Making a French pressed coffee with freshly ground beans, what a treat!The location is convenient for skiing at Jay Peak. Brendan was very responsive and cleaned the fresh snow before we even had our breakfast. We had a very good time and hope to return someday.
