Winter getaway

Up to date, spacious, warm home for our family of 5. Centrally located between 3 ski resorts. A wonderful way to spend our February break. We will be back 🙂

Early spring getaway

Totally enjoyed our stay! The big, well stocked kitchen was our main gathering place but we also experienced quite a bit of March Madness in the comfortable living room. Would stay here again!

Better than expected, and had high expectations

We loved this house. The house was very accurately described in terms of location and setting. We rented for a week for some skiing in Stowe. It is a little out of the way around 25-30, but that is what we expected based on the property description. The town of Johnson, based on our February visit, seemed very small and quiet. Not much going on in terms of restaurants or activities beyond hiking, but that is exactly what we wanted. There is a really nice little grocery store within walking distance too. The house itself was perfect. It's an old farm house, but newly renovated. The kitchen was beautiful, the home itself was very comfortable. It felt like you were borrowing a good friend's home rather than someone's rental property. Appliances were new, dishes, towels, linens, all were fresh and new or at least in nice condition. Lynda obviously takes pride in her home. Lynda was also incredibly responsive. At the last minute we made a tweak to our reservation without a problem. Any question I had was answered within 24 hours. We loved this place, and hope to stay again.

About the host

Your host

I (Travis) grew up in Johnson and love sharing it with the world! Our family still spends our summers in Vermont although we live in Charleston, South Carolina. We place a lot of value on being able to swim in clean rivers, eat locally grown/produced food, and have big spaces for our dog and kiddos to explore and enjoy. In the winter, we snowshoe, cross country ski, and sled.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as it is adjacent to our first property and we loved its location on the hill overlooking the village. It has such a huge lawn that we can let our kiddos and dog run loose and enjoy a little space and freedom while we sip a micro brew or wine from the porch or fire pit.

What makes this property unique

We're big believers in the cook not being separated from the rest of the family or friends so we knocked down some walls and put in a huge butcher block island with enough seating for all guests. The fire pit outside is one of our favorite things about the property and the lawn is awesome.
