"Little House" is my primary home.
In spring 2022 I purchased a small "tiny house" for myself as a remote office space. It is situated in the back corner of the property (far from the main house, with a separate driveway). During your stay I may be in the tiny house with my mini goldendoodle, Bleu, traveling, or staying near by.

Cozy Cottage!

I have always wanted to visits Vermont and this little cottage checked all of the boxes. Cute, cozy and comfortable in an out of the way location. Wether you plan to explore Vermont or just want a quiet place for R&R this place is it. Although we were here for all things fall, this would be a great base for cross country skiing in the winter. Thank you Jennifer for creating such a nice space.

Little house was a Big Hit

Quaint property in the lovely Vermont countryside. We enjoyed our stay here; it had everything we needed for a relaxing stay in the area. Nice walking area and close to maple sugar farm. The owner was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable.

Perfect place

Friends visiting from Ontario loved this place. Quiet country setting, yet only 10 minutes from shopping locations. Great swimming and hiking near by. Will definitely be back. Our host was very nice and made our stay one of a kind.

Country getaway

This is a charming small house, located about 15 minutes from Montpelier, but out in the country. Beautiful property. Doesn't have a TV, but we enjoyed streaming shows on our laptop.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Whitman

I'm 40 ish with two fledgling young adult children, one mini golden doodle pup & one black lab "granddogher." I enjoy traveling, gardening, reading, Pilates, photography, and jumping in the ocean whenever I am close enough to do so. I wish I could live on a mountaintop or a remote lighthouse -- but my tiny house is the next best thing.

Why they chose this property

"Little House" is my primary home. In 2022 I purchased a small "tiny house" for myself as a remote office space. It is situated in the back corner of the property (far from the main house, with a separate driveway). I hope to rent out my primary home for a few months a year while I travel and retreat to my tiny, simpler, "Littler House."

What makes this property unique

For a "Little" house, it has a lot to offer. Lots of different spaces to work from home from or to enjoy meals. The location is perfect for getting out to the ponds or heading into Montpelier. Six open acres is very relaxing and fun for folks with kids. The outdoor shower is a bonus when you come home from a swim!
