Cozy cottage
This property is really “in the “woods” We enjoyed our stay, so peaceful. The foliage was beautiful. There was a lot of DVD’S to watch, no cable or regular channels. There was also a record player with many albums to choose from. Comfortable mattresses and pillows. Very well equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal at the house. River Bend Farm Market is about 15 minutes away and it has ready to go food, sandwiches, everything you need to find at a grocery store. Great communication with the owners, they replied within minutes to all my messages. The furnace works great , it warmed up the cottage really quickly. We went to a few towns near by, Grafton, Bellow Falls, Manchester, Brattleboro and we drove to St. Johnsbury (2 1/2 hrs) to visit the beautiful Chapel at Dog Mountain.i recommend to go there and also the Vermont Country Store in Bellow Falls. We had a very nice time.

Great little retreat
My wife and I were looking for a nice cottage in the woods, and this place was perfect. It was only a few minutes from the main road, but felt like we were in the deep woods. It had a charming feel of a backwoods cabin with all the amenities needed for comfortable living. There were plenty of great hiking trails within 30 minutes as well as a number of quaint Vermont towns. It was the perfect spot to get away for a long weekend.

Just perfect
Lovely home and property. My husband and I stayed here with our two dogs for a long weekend of peace and quiet. And that's exactly what we got. There is a trail that loops behind the house through the woods that is a perfect little run to exercises the dogs. The home itself is clean and cozy and we felt very comfortable. The host is very quick to respond and keeps the house stocked with plenty of necessities, there's even little soaps and shampoos in case you forgot something. We definitely hope to return when the weather is cooler so we can enjoy the lovely fireplace.

Great Place for a Secluded Retreat!
Stayed here to celebrate a birthday, hang out with friends, and go to Stratton. The house was amazing. We really enjoyed the record player and relaxing by the wood stove. The property was kept nicely and the home was very clean. The house had all of the standard things that are typically needed. We look forward to staying there again next year.

Cozy and charming
This was one of the best-stocked of any VRBO, which made it easy to get dinner together when we were snowed in. We only wish we hadn't been on such winding roads as it was not that easy to get to the ski resort. But there was sweetness to x-country skiing the property and we LOVED the turntable with all the great albums.

We had a great time staying at this cottage. Everything was clean and in working order. The record collection was superior. We stayed during a cold snap which made using the wood stove a delight! Everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We had a great trip to VT. The home Very clean and in good shape. Perfectly equipped with everything you need. The property was very nice and private & Our dogs loved running through the trails in the woods. Every night was spent by the bonfire pit, which was nice being right off the back porch. Thank you for renting this property to people, it was nice to experience VT exactly how I hoped it would be.

Cozy cottage
The cottage was cozy and in a peaceful location away from everything and well equipped so we were able.to just come and enjoy. Great place for a family like us with a dog she had plenty of land to run around on and there isnt much traffic to worry about. The owners were wonderfull the communication was great we loss power from a strom the home was well equipped with generator to ensure are stay was not interrupted. This place isn't for everyone but if you want to get away and be with nature this is your place.

Wine, dogs and music
Lovely house. Enjoyed sipping wine in front of the fire, letting dogs explore the "back yard" and listening to the great album collection. We took advantage of the off-line feel even though we were able to get all we needed with the satellite wifi. Easy drive to skiing. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great place to kick back and relax.

Get Away from it All
Lovely, secluded cabin in a beautiful area of Vermont! The dirt road access was a bit of a challenge due to several very muddy patches, so do heed the owners' recommended prohibition against non-SUV vehicles. The cabin is delightful! The beds are comfortable, the decor tasteful and the fireplace is so comforting after being out in the snow. Our dachshund loved being away with the family! The owners were very quick to respond to our questions. The neighbor's work-yard spotlights were the only drawback to this cabin, as they detracted from star-gazing, but we would definitely stay here again! We had a wonderful time in this charming and comfortable home!

This home was perfect for us! It was very cozy and quiet. There are a lot of hiking trails close enough for a nice day out. There is a great outdoor fire pit area with plenty of firewood and the grill is good to have for easy cooking. The indoor fireplace was also great to have. There is great communication with the hosts! We would definitely go back.

Great cottage in the woods
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It’s well equipped, clean and in a natural/wooded setting that was a great escape from the city. Convenient to southern Vermont. We saw an owl and a golden eagle in the woods at the cottage during our stay. The owners were very welcoming and responsive.

The cottage's decor is beautiful & fun. The furniture & bed is comfortable. We loved the skylights which bring so much light into the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed our stay. We really enjoyed the woods in the back and went on the trails. We also loved eating our meals outside on the deck and making a campfire at night. We saw quite a few little frogs & toads and bats flying at night. We would definitely stay there again.

This was the perfect property to unplug and relax at (there isn't a clock in the house!). We enjoyed the deck and woods but were close enough to nearby towns and trails to explore the area easily. The house is cozy and well stocked with games, videos (and the record collection is pretty cool). If you are looking to get away, this is your place.

The decor is very cute and we loved the little touches throughout. We would definitely come back again.

This charming well appointed property was the perfect getaway. An ideal location for day trips to a number of quaint VT towns and villages. Plenty of outdoor activities in the area. Several restaurants nearby or relax and dine on the deck. End a perfect day with conversation and laughter around the fire pit, spinning records, watching movies or playing cards. This property has it all.
