Great fall getaway

What a great spot for a fall weekend getaway with friends. We enjoyed the fire pit and used the grill to cook our dinner. Quick ride into downtown Chester where you can get anything you need. Would definitely come back!

Great cabin getaway!

This cavin was absolutely perfect. Close to Okemo and other skiing, had great internet for work zoom calls, and was super cozy. We really enjoyed sipping our morning coffee and watching the birds. Thank you Gene, the jellybean for being a great host!

Great winter stay!

We had an amazing time at Gene’s cabin! It was charming and cozy. We were in Chester to ski at Magic Mountain and Okemo, and the drives were pretty quick. We had planned on going out to eat, but both nights we were too happy to make a fire and watch a movie to leave! We will definitely try to come back

adorable little log cabin on top of a snowy hill, beautiful views

We loved our stay. Expectations were appropriate. If you are the right person, you will love this place. If there is snow, a four-wheel drive is handy for all the hills to get there, otherwise expect to get some exercise. You have to know how to feed and handle a wood stove (its not hard and there are instructions), poor antifreeze in drains and toilet etc. at night and in general just realize its not the Ritz Carlton, which is part of its woodsy Vermont charm. Decorated with cool vintage stuff on the inside. We didn't feel bad slopping up the floor with our snowy boots as we were in and out; we just cleaned up after ourselves. Easy to make breakfast and dinner here and we skied during the days. Loved that there was an old ham radio in the closet as my son and I are amateur radio operators. We will remember this place whereas a local hotel would have been forgettable...

Pleasant getaway in VT

Gene is a very welcoming and available host. He gave plenty of pre-trip information and was extra hospitable via phone during our stay - way above and beyond. The cabin is at a great spot between several ski areas. If you are planning your trip to this cabin, word of advice; do not put any wood in the burner after 6 pm since it gets really hot. We made that mistake even though Gene warned us to be careful; and we had to go down to open the front door to breath. The reason of 4/5 stars was the water. We had trouble having water; every flush of the toilet emptied the water tank so we had to wait 30-45 mins to have water again for a flush-size amount of water. We had to melt the snow to have water in the house which prevented us from cooking breakfast. If you are looking for a real cabin experience; this is a cabin to go.

Perfect Cabin for a Cozy Getaway

This cabin was the perfect little spot for a New Years vacation. It’s easy to get to, has parking on site, and is a short drive to get groceries, some shops in town, and more. We loved the nostalgic feel of the appliances and decor, including the retro Nintendo comforter! We cooked all of our meals while here, the stove and oven worked well and there were plenty of pots, pans, etc. The fireplace was easy to use and warmed the entire place well, even during a snowstorm. We made good use to the CD and DVD collection. Will definitely be staying here again!

Fantastic gem in Chester

Beautiful place that was somehow very convenient to town and everything we wanted to do, but then also secluded and surrounded by nature. Very cozy and Gene was so helpful and we made the most of our time thanks to his suggestions. Would love to go back again soon!

Nice but...

The idea of the cabin was wonderful but it had a lot of quirks. First, you had to bring your own sheets and towels. Second, there were cobwebs from 1974, and having all the mouse traps around the cabin was not romantic. Then we had snow and the driveway was only half plowed so you couldn't turn around and go down the driveway nose first, you had to back down the driveway and then the power went out. Finally, you hoped all the electrical wiring was to code because there were outlets and plugs everywhere.

What a great host and stay. Gene welcomed us with news of the local winter carnival and we had a blast with kids riding in a horse drawn sleigh and on mini snowmobiles. Kids loved the cozy cabin. I loved the vibe, cabin made me nostalgic for a stranger things episode ;)

Cozy Cabin

I spent the weekend at Eugene’s cabin and it was exactly as described in the listing. The cabin was very clean and was well stocked. The woodstove kept the house really warm and there was plenty of firewood. We will definitely be back again.

Anniversary Weekend in the Woods

We had a great time at Gene's cabin. It was small and homey and perfect for our getaway. The singing deer head by the fireplace is great fun and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch with our morning coffee watching the leaves fall. It is easy to find and near quite a few amenities while still feeling remote. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner our first night there. Be sure to sign the guest book and be surprised how long Gene has been renting this cabin out!

Enjoyed My 2nd Stay Here

Just spent my second time at this cabin having previously stayed here in Fall 2022. It's in a great location and is already stocked with supplies and tools. Tons of hiking trails in the area and Chester is only a short car ride away. Warm in the fall and cool in the summertime. Great view from the porch as well. Plenty space for one person but also a good amount room for a family or multiple people. Host has been helpful and communicative every time I've stayed here.
