Great vacation rental!

Stayed here over the New Year and enjoyed it very much! The house was exactly as described, very clean and warm. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of space for adults and kids!

Outstanding!

My husband and I just returned from a week at Cate Hill Cottage, it was outstanding! Amy is an exceptional hostess, with great dining and ski route suggestions! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful vacation! My ski pole broke, and she immediately loaned me a choice of two sets of poles! The local chefs she recommended were amazing, one even delivered dinner to our door! The cottage is charming and had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is so much space to relax and even work! My husband used the excellent wifi to do a little work between ski outings. The couch is so comfortable for reading a book. The mattress is extremely comfortable, I loved the pillow top. The location between Craftsbury Outdoor Center and the Highland Lodge trail system is perfect. It is also possible to ski from the door, if you don’t mind a little bushwhacking! Amy explained exactly where to go, so it’s not difficult to ski to the trail. We will return next year, and I am already counting the days! Thank you Amy for a great vacation!

How I spent my fall vacation

This property was located centrally to areas we decided to visit. The countryside in the NEK is some of the prettiest in VT. The foliage was peak and then gone during our week there. House was very comfortable and our hostess made sure we were able to enjoy our stay.

A Big Disappointment

We would not stay at this property again. The second bathroom upstairs was not practical at all, unless you are 3' tall! You could not stand up and use the sink to brush your teeth or wash up. It did not have a shower only a bathtub, which again, you would not be able to stand up in it. The toilet was sooooo low, it felt like you were almost on the ground, in both bathrooms. The tub/shower in the downstairs bathroom was just a little bit better because you could shower, but if you weren't real careful with the curtain it could get the floor all wet. There was an old soap left, the bottom of the tub looked not very clean. There was NO counter space or anywhere to put toiletries, not enough hooks. The table and chairs were a mix and match, the fireplace was nice but the tv was upstairs and would have been much better to be downstairs. The 2 bedrooms were fine but not sure how 10 people could stay here! The grass should have been cut, in other words there was not much effort put into the VRBO to make it very welcoming.
