Amazing house for a weekend away
This beautiful house has been lovingly remodeled and appointed with cozy bedding and accessories. Our girls weekend away was made extra relaxing by this welcoming house. Huge kitchen, soft beds, quiet neighborhood with llamas next door! Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Highly recommend.

Rarely do I stay at a place where the property is better in person. Grey Goose Cottage did not disappoint. Very clean, very comfortable and very spacious. Extra touches like a stocked coffee bar, board games, high end appliances and wireless chargers on all nightstands just added to the quality of our stay. The llamas next door were a plus!

Fabulous Stay!
We were in town for my son's wedding. We couldn't have had a better place to stay, my husband, my parents, my son and daughter. Everything we needed was at the home and very well thought out! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful! My father grew up in Mt Vernon, went to Mt Vernon HS and really had fun coming back!

Our Mt. Vernon visit
All 5 of us were very impressed with the cleanliness, and size of the property. It was wonderful to relax by the firepit after a long day of driving. In our 3 day visit it was a great place to stay. Towels were soft and thick. The washer and dryer were a great bonus. The dining table was terrific for playing cards in the evening. The only suggestions we would make are to seal around the front door a bit better as it lets in a lot of light at night therefore it likely lets in a bit of cold in the winter. Also, the addition of a railing around the back patio would be nice for older folks (some of us) to hold while stepping up or down.

Cozy Gathering Place
We were spending the holidays visiting family, and as multiple folks were coming to town, we decided to rent a house to share. So many delightful details: hot chocolate bar, many toys and trucks for our 3 year old, open kitchen for all to help make meals. Everything was decorated instagrammably and (being away from home) it was so cozy to have such a warm Christmas nook to connect with family and share time. We are so grateful to have found you! We wish there had been a recycling option. We took our recycling to the drop-off in town (as my partner is a Mt Vernon expatriot and knows what to do) but we thought that was unusual to not have that available at the house. Your attention to detail was so appreciated, Laura! Thank you for sharing your gifts and this home! The Baldeschwilers

Christmas Girls Trip
Another spectacular stay at the Gray Goose Cabin! We ate, drank, and were very merry in the best of locations. This cottage was the perfect place to decompress before the busy holiday season for three lifetime friends. The home was spotless and the holiday decor was beautiful. We especially appreciated the hot chocolate bar and the impeccably stocked kitchen was perfect for preparing girl dinner and a batch of cookies. The host was even kind enough to leave us extra cookie sheets. We will be back!

Two Tired Moms
This cottage provided the perfect location for a night off for two tired moms. I’ve rented several properties in VRBO over the years and this was, by far, the cleanest, best outfitted property I’ve ever stayed in. From the exquisite kitchen that was fully outfitted for any type of meal, to the excellent entertainment set up that allowed us to stream movies and music with no issue, to all the conveniences like coffee, snacks, toiletries, and wireless chargers in each bedroom, this place is impeccable. The communication with the renter was professional and informative. The cottage was exactly as pictured, if anything, the photos don’t do it justice. This was a slice of heaven. We did not use the outside facilities but it all appeared well cared for. We are already making plans to return. Thank you so much for providing us with a beautiful, much needed, night away.
