A True Getaway!

What a wonderful experience we all had staying here! A very private and picturesque property in the beautiful deep woods of Vermont. I would most definitely stay here again. We made some great family memories on this trip, thank you for having us!

A Truly Special Vermont Retreat

This Vermont rental wasn't just a house; it was an exceptionally special retreat from the moment we arrived. The well-appointed house itself was a dream, with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. But what truly set this property apart was the incredible pond, offering a serene and picturesque backdrop to our visit. Beyond the house and the pond, the entire piece of property felt truly unique and magical, creating an unforgettable Vermont getaway. We are already planning another trip back!

Beautiful Property

The privacy and seclusion of this property was exactly what we were looking for. No sounds of traffic or people. It was great to let the dog run loose to play and swim without worry. The cabin was clean and beautiful with a well stocked kitchen. Our 3-night stay went by far too fast!

5 stars all the way

The pictures don’t do the property and cabin justice. What a dream! The trails around the cabin were a blast to explore with the dogs. The best part was swimming in the pond and spending the evenings on the deck. We would love to come back and stay longer next time! Big shout out to John for renting out this great spot.

Beautiful, serene property

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 children ages 7 and 5) and our dog stayed at the cabin and it is a slice of heaven. It is incredibly private and the property is so wide and seemingly endless so there was so much space for our family to enjoy the outdoors especially our dog! There is an approximately quarter mile loop around the man-made pond which was where our family spent a lot of time walking, running and relaxing around the pond. We also enjoyed sitting by the fire pit- This is really such a gem of a spot! The cabin was really cozy; there were plenty of options for sleeping and our girls especially loved the room with the bunk beds! The kitchen was great for cooking and plenty of seating at the two different counter tops around the kitchen as well as the dining room table. The living room area was a cozy sitting area and it was great to sit out on the deck and take in the scenery. We would definitely stay at this cabin again - highly recommend.

Great stay in VT!

This place was wonderful. We had a wedding to attend at Burke mountain and this place was very close by. The property has a beautiful Mountain View and a pond. John was very responsive and helpful. We stayed an extra day. Hope to make it back at some point!

Perfect Getaway

We managed to be lucky enough to book this cabin just as all of the leaves turned so it was like being in a painting. The land is beautiful to walk and the views are amazing. The cabin itself is very cozy and has great character. The kitchen was very convenient and I loved cooking on that stove, and the bathroom was clean and well kept as well. It was great to unplug, read, and relax for a while. Hopefully we will be able to go back again.

Beautiful Lodge

This place is perfection. No complaints at all about the lodge and the amenities provided. Great price, great location, everything about this place was just wonderful. Would strongly recommend if you're comparing places that you just choose this lodge. You won't regret it! VRBO Issues: Had some minor issues with the external process and incorrect information on the page listing, but both matters were resolved promptly. It should be noted that after you pay and make a reservation you're asked to send a copy of your government ID, but VRBO platform doesn't support securely sharing this information. This is a VRBO problem and not an owner problem as the request itself is not unreasonable. Also, there's a $50 cleaning fee but visitors are required to clean the lodge themselves--honestly for the value price of this amazing lodge, it's not really an issue, but it still should be noted, because you're contractually obligated to be your own cleaning crew--yet contractually obligated to pay for one.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

We loved staying at this cabin, though there were a couple things we wish we'd known before checking in. The first was that there is a very steep and narrow spiral staircase to get to three of the door bedrooms. We knew this going in because of another review but it would be nice to have a picture. The second is that there is a very high well wall (about two and a half feet to get into the shower which wasn't a problem for us but could be for folks with limited mobility. That said, we had a great time! The pond was beautiful and the perfect temperature for swimming, our teenage daughter enjoyed walking the trails around the property, the kitchen was stocked with everything we might need, beds were comfortable, and it was the perfect place to disconnect. John was great about answering my many questions, and we loved looking up at the clearest stars we had ever seen. We've been to many cabins over the years, and this was a favorite.

Great time out surrounded by nature

This is way overdue but we had an amazing few days last summer in this very comfortable, thoughtfully built home. Highlights include: Comfortable beds, fireplace, clearing around house to enjoy views of trees and pond, trails surrounding property, friendly knowledgeable caretaker, easy to use/understand solar generator, pre-trip directions and guidance from owner, and being OFFLINE. Wouldn't change a thing. Thank you!

Beautiful cabin in the woods

The cabin is located in an area where Google maps can't be used. We arrived during day light and were grateful for it because we had to follow written instructions to get there. The cabin is very nice and it is exactly as the pictures depict it. The staircase is very narrow and it is difficult to bring up luggage. The only things we didn't love were that the internet was not working at all during our stay and we had zero phone signal. I also didn't like that we had to provide our own linens. I had to ask for king size sheets as a special request and the owner did arrange for them to be there which I appreciated. The house rules also ask guests to clean the unit (sweep, vacuum, dust etc). There were no cleaning supplies or rags to clean and the vacuum was useless. I messaged the host but didn't hear from him. In my humble opinion, cleaning services should be left to an outside service and not guests. Not all guests will do a thorough clean.

Perfect Getaway to Disconnect

Just a magical well kept piece of property with a home that matches. My wife and I have never revisited a vacation / getaway destination as we like to continually experience new places, but we both agreed that this is one that we will be regularly visiting. So many wonderful memories in just 2 days.

Wonderful Cabin in the woods

The Cabin is lovely, very cozy and comfortable. There was plenty of space for me, my two teenage sons, and our dog. There are plenty of trails and things to see right on the property. We very much enjoyed spending time just hanging out outside. It was a wonderful home base to explore the local attractions. No issues at all with the electricity or hot water, and everything in the kitchen worked well. The cabin may be off grid, but everything is well built and works as it should. Absolutely charming. Highly recommended, unplug and live life for a while!

Absolutely Stunning

From the moment we walked inside we knew it was going to be the perfect vacation for us. The property is secluded and blissful, including just the basics (fridge, propane stove/oven, and a shower) which was all we needed. The private pond beyond the back yard was where we spent the most time with our dog. She absolutely loved it and we took her home after the last day the most tired she’s ever been! All in all the property was absolutely breathtaking! If you’re looking for a calm, relaxed and slowed down life for a few days; this is the place!! Thank you John!!

This is what the woods of VT is for

Perfect cabin in the woods. Truly, this property is about the only thing I want out of life. Absolutely peaceful. Tucked away in the woods far enough that if the rest of civilization collapsed, you may not realize it. The cabin is a few miles down a dead end dirt road and then down another 1/4 or so mile driveway. The property is huge and completely surrounded by woods. Complete privacy here. The cabin itself is off grid. There is a gas stove/oven and refrigerator. Solar panels and and a backup propane generator keep the lights on and the well pump running. The pond at the bottom of the hill is a great place to take a swim and the kids loved going in. If you are looking for a getaway in the northeast kingdom woods and escaping the world for a bit while still having some basic conveniences, I could not think of a better place. I hope to have a place like this myself eventually. We hope to stay again and thank you for sharing your home with us!

Family weekend

Our stay at the cabin was great. Have to say was a little skeptical about being off grid, but this was an awesome experience. It gave our family opportunity to focus on time together and not other amenities. We ate all meals outside, enjoyed the views, nature, and just being quiet. We would recommend thus place to anyone that just wants a quiet and peaceful place to hang out with friends or family. Owner was great in answering any questions we had. Thanks for great stay.
