Equestrian riding is also popular, with well-maintained trails for riders to explore the beauty from horseback. Beyond outdoor adventures, charming antique shops and unique boutiques dot the area, offering hidden treasures and locally crafted goods. With its blend of nature, adventure, and local culture, this community is a wonderful place to live and explore.

The Vermont Retreat is a darling place to stay. My son, daughter-in-law really loved the attention to detail and extra welcoming bread and condiments provided. They appreciated the pet friendly retreat and enjoyed their host’s being so helpful with suggestions of the many things to do in the area. The location is lovely and quiet and great restaurants are nearby. They hope to return there soon- thanks

What a lovely little place for us and our dogs (3 months old and 14 years old). Ellen was so lovely and welcoming and the area allowed for pups to play off-lead. Very private and beautiful. Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts who so graciously shared this little slice of Vermont with us! (The attached pic was taken in Bennington the day we checked out, not at the property. I didn’t want to mislead anyone! The actual property is very quiet and peaceful.)

Quiet night in VT

Lovely banana bread greeted me when I arrived and there was fresh milk and orange juice as well. A bit off the beaten track, but a lovely one bedroom apartment just right for a weekend in Vermont.

My wife and I spent a very pleasant 2 nights here. Ellen had provided excellent directions making the unit easy to find. Ellen was there to welcome us (her home is just adjacent to the lovely converted barn we stayed in).The place was very comfy, with lots of thoughtful touches. Upon entering, we were greeted by a beautifully penned welcome note, along with a locally made chocolate chip banana bread!! Many areas in the flat have automatic night lights, making safety easier for we who appreciate it. The bed was very comfortable The outside has multiple nice garden and seating spaces that we enjoyed.There’s lots of outdoor stuff to do in the area. We did the short hike to Thundering Brook Falls, went antiquing, and saw a free outdoor concert in nearby Woodstock, VT (not THAT Woodstock).I’d highly recommend this place!!

Best stay ever!

Me and my boyfriend came to stay here for a little skiing getaway for my birthday! It was everything and more we could have imagined! It was clean and SO cozy! It also was such a close distance to all of the mountains making our getaway perfect! Ellen was by far the best host I’ve ever had, she made sure we had everything we needed and was so welcoming! Whenever I’m back in the area I will for sure stay there again! Highly highly highly recommend!

Everything was wonderful. There was excellent communication, the place was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend away. Ellen really personalizes the experience with special treats upon arrival and tips for places to eat. She even scraped off our jeep when we were heading out. Thank you Ellen!

I absolutely loved my stay at this property. The accommodation is an apartment in a converted barn. It's a beautiful quiet location a short drive from Woodstock. The hosts were fantastic and gave me some great suggestions of places to visit, they also left wonderful muffins for my arrival. I would definitely stay here again.

Vermont Ski Weekend

Excellent communication even before we arrived which made everything very clear for us to check in late night. It’s the perfect space for us to relax after a day of skiing at Killington! It was quick drive from their place to the mountain. Ellen and her partner made us and our dog feel right at home. They have truly thought of everything that you could need for the weekend. I have recommended this place to friends, and we will certainly be back next year! Thank you again!

Very well appointed

Cozy and everything you could need. Really nice kitchen set up and excellent appliances. After a week on the road, the washer & dryer were a welcome refresh of clothing. It's a few minutes west of Woodstock down a country road, so secluded. Takes dogs - wish we had one!

Amazing stay

A wonderful stay at Vermont Retreat. Love the wooded location. Quiet and restful. Hosts were readily available. Delightful to find banana bread, coffee, and OJ waiting for me, on arrival. The place was equipped with everything one could possibly need. The washer and dryer in the apartment were a very convenient plus! I hope to return next year.

Lovely Place with Great Host!

Our stay at Ellen’s place was great! We were a short drive away from killington so that made it easy to get there in the morning! The place was clean and looked just like the listing, and Ellen left us a banana bread which was awesome! I can’t think of the last time I had a host as warm and inviting as Ellen, she really made the trip! The kitchen was also pretty well stocked for a rental, so we were able to cook pretty effectively. Overall, I think this was a great place to stay if you don’t want to pay the prices closer to the mountain!

Wonderfully Cozy

Just pack your clothes- because you’ll have pretty much everything else you’ll need in this very clean and cozy apartment. Felt very inviting and a lot like home. Never met the hosts but if you need anything, they are just a text away! The road is very dark at night but there’s a motion detector in the drive way as soon as you pull up … I also like the motion detector nightlights throughout the apartment. Easy, comfortable and cozy about sums it up! Highly recommend!!!
