Extraordinary Experience!
This is our Vermont favorite! Perched way up among the hills, this affordable and rustic homestead has spectacular views of the region. There is not another home to be seen from the property. The peaceful privacy is a rare find. Without the light pollution of a city, the stars glow so brightly in the night sky. We loved the spacious deck, whirlpool tub, fire pit, and wood burning stove. Dogs love running around the acreage. Home is clean and comfortable. Fast Wifi. It's also great location and relatively short drive to local dining and recreational spots including Mt Snow valley, lakes, and parks. We enjoy kayaking the Harriman Reservoir and hiking Molly Stark Park. The owners are gracious, responsive, and very helpful with recommendations. Their family goes back generations in the area so they are a wealth of information to help you have that authentic visit that most tourists miss. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Great stay!
Some friends and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin. A beautiful property with great character and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the wood burning stove and abundant firewood! Would definitely stay again

The condition of the house is very far from the city and the worst part is that the house is everywhere. Chad dolls and pig puppets are like cursed houses and the bed sheets are very dirty. It is not possible to sleep on the pillows because of the head odor. I tried to sleep by covering the pillows with a towel. I rented the house because the people who recommended it gave good grades to that house. I don't understand why they gave good marks, I definitely do not recommend that house to anyone.

Beautiful Secluded Property
My family and I enjoyed a nice getaway in the woods with plenty of wildlife. The house is very cozy and has plenty of beds and chairs. The property is beautiful and has an awesome sunrise coming over the mountains. The dogs enjoyed running around the yard. We will be looking to stay here again in the future.
