Significant miscommunications from host made for difficult stay
The house was spacious and set up for a large group when we arrived. The listing indicated that it slept 8 people, and that seemed appropriate based on the setup. When booking, the form seems to have defaulted to saying there would be four guests which was ultimately incorrect as we had seven for a one-night stay. Michele (the host) lives in the house on the other side of the driveway (in my opinion this should have been made more clear in the listing) and was keeping an eye on who was arriving and as soon as we had more than four people, Michele was sending us messages asking for additional payment given that we had gone over the "maximum" of four guests. We did not want any trouble so we just paid it without an argument. However, we kept getting messages from Michele asking how many of us there would be (which we were completely transparent about). Michele then sent messages indicating that they thought we intended to smoke inside the house (I don't smoke, never have, and doing it inside someone else's home would be disgusting). This made us generally feel unwelcome and if our stay included more than one night we likely would have found somewhere else. Other check-in/out instructions were confusing (uncertainty about what to do with linens/towels, whether or not we can/should use the dishwasher, etc.). What was supposed to be a simple, easy overnight stay (arriving after dinnertime, leaving before 8am the next day) quickly became a headache and added stress to the trip

Beautiful views and spacious rooms!
This is a large property. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The beds were amazing and everything was fresh and clean. Although the owner is on sight, we had complete privacy. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to make a wonderful Vermont meal. 10 out of 10. We’d stay again!

The house was excellent and the view of the pond was amazing! But what we appreciated the most was Michele's help and communication about the snowstorm that was set to hit the area. She had excellent info and advice and was able to move our stay up a day so we could stay ahead of the storm. We had a great trip to Vermont and very much appreciate her help!

Pleasant stay but disappointing and needs improvement
Michele was pleasant. Check in was easy. House was large and was set up for families. Spacious and attractive. There really was no view as I anticipated. A few repairs need doing. Tub and sink in downstairs bathroom not functioning. The beautiful deck was disappointing. It was dirty and the flower pots were not filled with fall flowers. They were filled with dried weeds. Deck in my opinion would have been more welcoming with some fall flowers and decorations. Easy to do. We got the bums rush checking out.We were 10 min late (10:15) because I have a hard time with physical stuff. I have a serious back issue and will be getting spine surgery early Nov. It took a little longer to pack the car. I felt bad when I received a message from Michele saying the cleaner had arrived and she was paying her from 10 o’clock. So we need to go right away. As we were packing the car, no one came to clean. We would have seen them. So overall; I wouldn’t recommend this place. No tv, very sketchy internet Had a mixup with the payment. It was a nightmare. Finally got that taken care of with Many communications with Michele. She offered me a free night and then retracted that when my partner ( who drove 250 miles and arrived before me ) arrived and was told there was no free night, but he could stay if we paid, We opted to find another place. The house doesn’t seem to be maintained as it should. I won’t detail because I won’t be going back. I

Perfect for us
Came to Putney to work remotely and get together with my son, who was working 25 minutes away. The cabin was just what we needed. Not fancy, but everything we needed to live more than comfortably for the month. Michelle and her family made us feel like family, doggie included!! They were respectful of our privacy but very friendly. They live right next door so if you are looking for aloneness this place isn’t for you, but for us it was just perfect. Michelle’s daughter is a chef and brought us homemade cookies, bread, and butter! One night when there was a storm and the town’s power went out, Michelle’s husband brought us lanterns. The town of Putney is lovely, and Brattleboro is just a quick drive. Lovely farmers’ markets and some very good restaurants! Great hikes nearby including Monadnock and Cardigan all within less than two hours’ drive. Thank you Michelle and fam!

We spent four nights here in Putney. The location was great for accessing the things we had planned in and around Brattleboro. The house was very clean and had all needed amenities.
