As usual seamless experience and the most comfortable place we have found in the area. So many thoughtful touches - including incredibly thoughtful MTB-minded storage and cleaning, as well as a well stocked kitchen - make our biking family of 4 feel at home. Location is heaven. Thank you! ##### Amy W.

The house was in a beautiful location, totally immaculate and really well provisioned. It’s organized perfectly for a group of mountain bikers, with a hose for washing down bikes, a big garage and a mud room with lots of hooks and baskets. Really great few days. ##### Dorothy N. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan and Sara B. 29 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location near E. Burke village on Darling Hill Wonderful home with more than enough room for a family of 4\. Great views of Burke Mountain. We loved spending time outside on the deck. There is a bike rack and plenty of room to store all biking gear in the garage. Easy ride-in-ride-out access to the Kingdom Trails. Fun loop accessing the trails right on the property from Fen's Den to Where's Davis down Darling Hill to East Haven. Loop back up Where's Davis near the village and it's a great 10 mile loop. The owners were very responsive to questions and excellent hosts. ##### Bryan and Sara B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reza H. 24 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Weekend in Vermont! We decided to take a chance on a relatively new listing and, wow, we got lucky! The apple trees on the property are in full bloom and it was a beautiful weekend with temps in the high 70-low 80s. The views from the deck are spectacular and the property is beautiful. The house had lots of great kid items including toys and books as well as the main floor being largely baby proofed. It’s exceptionally clean and beautifully done. The property managers respond almost immediately and they clearly love and know the area. Lots of good advice and tips for what to do. If you want to have a fun and relaxing getaway, this is the place. I would imaging this is ideal year round with all the seasonal activities. We will certainly be back. ##### Reza H.
