The house is stunning, and nestled on a beautiful property in the mountains. Excellent stove, fridge, beds. Plenty of rooms to relax in and find privacy even with a group stay. Melissa was kind, accommodating and professional. We look forward to many more stays!
This was a perfect house in every way! It was beautifully renovated, roomy to fit all of our 13 guests, had every kind of appliance you could’ve wished for, and was located on a beautiful property. The host was so incredibly kind, responsive and accommodating to all of our requests & questions! Can highly recommend!

Thank you, Sidney! I'm so glad you enjoyed the house; the renovation was a labor of love so we're very happy to know it worked well for you. We welcome you back any time.
This is such a gorgeous “old” farmhouse with all the important updates, while still maintaining a Vermont country charm. Decor is so tasteful and comfortable and the property is just breathtaking. As soon as we walked in, we were sad we weren’t staying longer. Melissa was so easy to deal with and the house was clean and well stocked with kitchen stuff, towels, blankets, hair dryers, etc. So many great places to gather or find privacy. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!!
