We booked the Bicknell's fantastic home nestled right next to the Breadloaf campus for our son's graduation from Middlebury College over Memorial Day weekend. Everything about our stay was perfect. The house is pristine, beautifully maintained and perfectly appointed. Any time we looked for something - kitchen utensils, serving platters, extra towels, even clippers to cut the beautiful lilacs, which were in FULL bloom at this time of the year, we found what we needed. On Saturday night we had a wonderful family barbecue and sat outside on the fantastic wrap-around porch.
We rented the whole house including the annex which is connected to and feels like part of the house, but provides a perfectly sized "suite" for another family. It would make an ideal separate rental for a smaller group.
Neil and Judy could not have been nicer. They were easy to communicate with and very helpful - when we had trouble getting the TV to work, they called and talked us through it - turns out my older son didn't read the directions carefully enough :-) They provided us with detailed instructions about everything we might need to know.
We could not have been happier.
During the hustle and bustle of graduation week, it was delightful to have this peaceful oasis to which we returned. Middlebury parents might like to know that it takes about 20 mins to get to the center of town, 15 minutes to Hannafords from here.
We could not recommend this property more highly!
Thank you Neil + Judy - we so hope we will have the occasion to visit again.
