The craftsmanship that went into this private cabin was impeccable. Everything was very clean and David was a thoughtful host. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
We stayed here for 2 days. We travelled from Virginia to vermont for a Graduation. The house is warm and inviting as soon as you walk in. It was immaculate and had all the instructions for the house readily available . He has a awesome story and photo album of the back ground to his home. Would definitely stay again.

Very cozy and pleasant cottage with a lot of nice artwork and comfortable bed. We also appreciated the breakfast options left for us by David. It was nice to read about the history behind the place and Tiger Ted, would stay again.
Our stay went well. We stayed two nights, a night before and a night after a bicycle tour. The home is well equipped and comfortable. It was also very quiet.

This place is inspiring -- built with craftsmanship, vision, and love. It is fastidiously clean. It is a refuge.
It's near enough to Middlebury to make it a special stay for parents.
This was such a great place to stay. So unique and inviting. We actually cooked a lot here instead of going out to eat because it was so relaxing and such a romantic setting. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Can't say enough positive things about this place.
Our stay at Camp Tiger Ted was so wonderful. The amount of detail and care David put into building and now maintaining the property is second to none. The house was meticulously clean and had so many charming details. David also gave us both massages in his in home studio which waA the most relaxing way to end our stay!
The house is beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked, and there were notes everywhere with tips and instructions. Everything was super clean and comfortable. David himself was lovely. Would stay again.
We attended a wedding in Goshen. It was a ten minute drive. It worked out perfectly. The home is very clean and comfortable! The host even turned the porch light on for us for our late night return.
We loved the cabin, which has a very personal touch. We loved the chats with David and his personal stories.
We loved to sit outside and have breakfast (partly with things that David provided).
We also enjoyed the outstanding quality of the woodwork and the love to every detail.
This is an absolute recommendation for a stay in Vermont.
This cottage exceeded our expectations! The craftsmanship and decor was amazing, from the outside to the inside. The attention to detail was noted from the start with the extras thatDavid provides fro his guests. So clean and so comfortable. Would highly recommend when visiting this area in Vermont.
was was very obvious
David Allan was a great communicator and took very good care that our stay was everything we needed. The house was beautiful, original/handcrafted, and very clean. Everything we needed was provided and we felt very safe and cozy. The location is great, Middlebury is a very cool town and very close to this location. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Five plus stars.
David was an amazing host and his place is absolutely beautiful. Such a cozy, well appointed, romantic space. I wish I could move in. David was also a great person to chat with. I was able to sit with him for a talk and he is super warm and cool to talk to.
A wonderful 9-day stay at David's. What a beautiful place he has created. His creativity, his humanity and his love for nature all shine through. Beauty, ease, simplicity, style and abundance, those are my words.
Great hospitality. So much so we'll be back ASAP!
I didn't want to leave! Beautiful place with such a rich history. I loved waking up on Saturday morning to play the grand piano. Forgot how much I loved it. Very clean and David made the process as smooth as possible. Our only complaint was the bed needs an update, sinks to the middle. Thank you David!
Loved the property. Enjoyed talking with David. The property is really attractive and comfortable.
One comment: The signage is hard to see from the road, which is a highway. I don't know what more could be done, but something that gives a heads-up would help to prevent driving past the driveway and having to turnaround.
David's place exceeded my expectations! Very smart design and layout. Quality craftmanship and attention to detail. Super clean. I wish my daughter and i could have stayed longer! Close enough to Middlebury College for this to be a great option for 2 people. David was very nice to stop by to introduce himself and see if we needed anything. We didn't see him again, but knew he was only a phone call away. Perfect.
This was my first experience with Vrbo. It was wonderful. Checking in and out of the property was simple! My fiancé and I were seeking a Christmas getaway in Vermont. We certainly found it! The property is in close distance to Brandon and Middlebury. Both towns have lots of dining options and shopping. We visited a brewery and winery. Our cottage in Leicester was pristine. Our host, David. was accommodating and friendly. The cottage is well built and you can see how much work David has put into it. The area is very quiet. Quite a change from NYC! If you have a sports fanatic with you, however, I’d suggest bringing an iPad so certain games can be accessed. David does provide a television and DVDS with a large selection of movies. There is no cable, but the internet is just fine. Thank you for your hospitality. David. We enjoyed our stay in Vermont.
