Beautiful place to stay and enjoy the nature.The cabin is very nice and large to accommodate our family.The owner is very supportive and helpful to answer any questions.We enjoyed our stay!Alexander
The views from the house are amazing! The house is very quiet and comfortable. We had 5 adults and 3 teenagers staying in the house, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kids all had their own bedrooms upstairs, and the 2 couples each had their own bedroom on the main floor. We didn't even need the basement, but there was lots of extra space there too. The kitchen was very well equipped and we loved the open design which allowed our family to enjoy our time together without feeling crowded. There is plenty of parking space and a beautiful deck overlooking the valley. The owner was very prompt in responding to a question/request. I highly recommend this house.
Our family enjoyed staying here during the Thanksgiving break. We shared the cabin with our extended family: 4 adults, 4 teenagers. There was plenty of space for all of us, and we are very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, which was much appreciated as we cooked all of our meals. The view was beautiful, and we loved the large windows overlooking the mountains and the woods. I would love to return.
We've been looking for a place to stay in Everett or Bedford where we could bring our wives and fly fish for several days, and it appears we have found it. Several friends joined us and the house accommodated everyone quite comfortably. The property is lovely and feels remote, but we had ready access to everything we needed during the week. We are looking forward to coming for another stay down the road. Many thanks for allowing us to enjoy such a beautiful vacation home!
Overall the house was great and there was plenty of space for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. We did get a list of home quirks that we appreciated. There were plenty of towels and a lot of kitchen appliances. We needed some assistance and the owners were very responsive. Views were beautiful!!
We enjoyed our stay at this charming cabin that reflects the intriguing family history of the owners. The home was very clean and provided ample room for our 11 month old granddaughter to crawl and practice walking. The views were calm and comforting and we had everything we needed for a nice extended family weekend.
Carl provided excellent directions to navigate the road to the cabin. We had beautiful weather so had no issues with the driveway, but it could be a challenge in some weather conditions. Overall a great stay and a great host!
Three couples looking for a chance have a reunion and a to catch up in person. Cozy loving room, plenty of space in kitchen. We enjoyed the spectacular views, a walk down the road to the pond (and up again!) and some local sightseeing. Carl was very easy to touch base with and it was obvious he and his family have a beloved home here at Peace on the Mountains! Thank you for sharing it and providing all the basic necessities - we just provided the food and the company.
Our stay was very nice. There were a few things I was surprised about, like only 2 of the 6 beds were made. It was an extra burden having to make 4 beds in a row before putting the kids to bed. We were asked not to go hiking in the woods, in an email, which was one of the main reasons for our stay, to play in the woods. The number we were given for emergencies was disconnected. The house itself was nice. Everything else regards to the rental was extra work.

From the owner: "We are always happy to hear from our guests but ever since COVID-19, we've provided sterilized linen packages that must remain sealed on each bed to assure our guests have exceptionally clean hotel-quality bedding. But this time we had 2 beds pre-made for the Adults to try and help. As for the woods, we do not recommend hiking (especially for kids) because of the awful poison ivy and forest debris."
This is a great rental. The place was spotless and had one of the best supply of kitchen equipment I have come across. I'm pretty jealoous of the pull out pan racks. There were also plenty of towels in the bathrooms. The cabin setting is very peaceful, and the views are amazing. The teenage grandchildren loved the sleeping loft beds! The only down side was the temp was in the 90's each day of our stay, so we could only enjoy the huge outside deck in the mornings and at night, I believe we would have spend most the day out there, otherwise, because it was such a peaceful setting. The owner set the door code to the last 4 numbers of my cell phone, so it was easy to remember. There are so many interesting decor elements in the cabin, delightful!
Six college girlfriends stayed here for long weekend - Bedford Fall Foliage
Plenty of room for group or private interactions; kitchen well stocked, very clean. Decorations are amazing and tells great stories about the owners. Very good directions from the property manager, we came from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, North New Jersey, Philly and Washington DC, no one got lost, Rural as all get out, 4 wheel or all wheel drive necessary to climb the driveway, but so worth it.
At first I apologize for leaving a review so many days after our stay.
This was our second stay here and again we enjoyed it from first to the last minute. We absolutely love the house and surrounding area. The amount of a fresh air is overwhelming and each night we slept with the doors open. My wife was waking up early in the morning (I like to stay in the bed little longer :) ) to sit on the deck and watch the deer family coming close to the house every day. We also saw some big butterflies (or moth) and even a little mantis, not to mention the numerous birds.
The house has everything you need to seat back, relax and enjoy your stay.
The Weis market in nearby Everett is great to resupply, there is also a Walmart store there. We can recommend Jean Bonnet tavern (delicious food) and a Lincoln Highway Creamery (maybe it doesn't look very impressive but the amount of flavors and size of the scoop are more than big, the prices are also affordable). We can recommend visiting Fort Bedford and a Bella Terra Vineyards store located at Bedford. You can taste a wine here and make a purchase right after.
Our kids say that this is the best "wooden house" they ever went to and already asking us if we can go there again next year, which we are very seriously considering.
As for the navigation we recommend Waze. It guided us almost to the very end of a driveway.
We loved our stay at the cabin! It was very clean and the whole property was lovely! We had some relatives from town over one evening and we all enjoyed our time on the decks. Very quiet and peaceful and lives up to it’s name “peace on the mountain”
Several friends and I stayed at this gorgeous property. The solitude provided was unrivaled, and we spent our time unhurried and refreshed. The forethought into the property truly is an inspiration. I would highly recommend for any seeking green space and time to yourself.
Property is as it is advertised and even more. The cabin, the view, the air... We fell in love as soon as we get out from the car.
The house is very spacious, and everything you need to rest and spend a good time you can find inside, starting with utensils and ending with a piano in the basement. The place is secluded, so - apart from visiting the store - we didn't see a soul.
Directions given to us by Carl was accurate and we had no problems to navigate through the last off-road part of the driveway.
Getting to the point - this property is a wonderful place to spend vacation and we will be more than thrilled to have a chance to come back.
