We booked last minute, needing a place to stay for a basketball tournament. Kris was great to communicate with. So many nice little touches such as a card welcoming us and wishing the kids good luck in their games, snacks, bathroom items that may have been forgotten. Easy check in and check out (do nothing!). Would book again if in the area.

We absolutely loved this apartment. It was beautiful, cozy, and perfect location for our many day trips around VT and NH. Kris and Jeff were wonderful host, giving us tips on things to do in the area and even suggested Quebec City versus Montreal. They were correct! We would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back up to Vermont.

This is a lovely place to stay. It is well managed and kept up. The beds were very comfortable and the owner left us a sweet greeting that made us feel very welcome. We look forward to staying there again if possible as we have family in the area and found the location just perfect and near downtown St Johnsbury.

A lovely spot at the edge of town

We really enjoyed our brief stay in St. Johnsbury and this house was a great way to experience it. Excellent, thoughtful touches with snacks, a very organized and helpful guide to the local scene, and a super-straightforward process for arriving and accessing the house.

The house was easy to find and the parking was clearly labeled. The stairs are very steep but we're cleared from the snow and were not slippery. This space was very warm and cozy when we walked in on a cold winter night. There were board games and a Roku TV. My friend and I were both very comfortable in each queen bed. In the morning there were all the options for caffeine! We relaxed with tea and coffee in the morning looking at the beautiful snow out the big windows. When I messaged the host to ask a question, she responded immediately. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Second year staying here. We didn’t even research for a different place We were close to my son in lyndonville, able to have dinners and play games on our deck in evenings. Close enough to hiking areas (within walking or driving distance), corn mazes, Sunflower farms, and able to walk into St. Johnsburry for shopping or a meal. Love this place!
