This was on a family trip after burying our mother. We were the ONLY ones staying, yet they wouldn't give us the cabin with wi fi. The old lock locked us out late at night and it took 30 minutes for them to help us. When I complained, they kicked us out and called the police who had us drive away in the middle of the night with an 11 yr old.

It sounds cute...an old fashioned collection of cabins but this place is rough! I have happily stayed in far worse places but for a small fraction of $140/night!

It was a place to stay quite run down. People were nice enough but the place needs some renovations.

We stay at this property as it is close to the Vermont Tri Race at Branbury State Park. The owners are lovely and always accommodate a little later check out so we can go back after the race and shower.

It’s not that they are not making an effort. It is clear that they care about cleanliness and the pool area and flowers were well maintained. Unfortunately the cabins are out dated, and in need of upgrades. We paid extra to have a family studio with a queen and twin bed and were disappointed to arrive to a double bed and a pull out couch. The mattress literally felt like just a box spring on the bed, unbelievably uncomfortable. When I wrote to “Jenn” that we did not get the room we paid for (like the picture online) I got no response. If the price range was more like 85 a night, I would have expected these accommodations in this condition but at 149 it was overpriced. I will say that Jenn was kind enough to be sure we got our key even though we were late for the 8pm check in deadline. (Which I hadn’t realized until I got a text from her at 8:30 asking if we were still coming) Also the Air conditioned worked very well.

We were only people there mid week so we did not see anybody other than the owner who checked us in. Overall it was a nice place and a break from a standard hotel. Breakfast is only offered on weekend, so this property should not come up if one of your sort criteria is free breakfast on you are staying on a Wednesday

We knew we were coming to an off-season cabin and therefore would have a quieter time than during the season! The cabin was oh so cute (I'd recommend flip flops for the shower floor) and the fireplace was awesome! Happy for the coffee, bagels, and fruit in the morning! It's definitely a do-again. Bonus: The owner gave us a map to local covered bridges, which we took advantage of seeking out! Awesome time!

Adequate for night
The cabin was quaint. The bed was small (full size) I was a little disappointed in the condition of the bathroom it needs a lot of work. But was more than functional. Also the only heat in the cabin was a space heater. It took a while to heat the cabin but then in the middle of the night it was too hot. The staff was very friendly and informative regarding the local restaurants and was responsive to our requests

The cabins need a lot of work. They're dirty and run down. The showers were stained, half the lights didn't work, and there were quite a few bugs. We were basically here to sleep with a late check in and early check out, so we didn't get a chance to explore the property.

Quaint and Cosy. Would def return
My son was returning to college. The owner was amazing. The cabin was very cosy. My son is 6’4” tall so he had to bend in the bathroom but he managed. The cabin was cold and we didn’t know how to turn on the heat. We were told to call if we needed help though but I didn’t. And there were extra blankets anyway. I would love to return. The yard is beautiful with grills and picnic benches. It would be nice to spend a week there.

The room was nice with good amenities and I got the cabin with the porch so that was extra nice. The bed was very firm but with no topper so, as I am a side sleeper, I ended up with a sore hip in the morning. Everything was clean and worked. The cabin had a nice outside light, with a bug bulb, but there were no lights on the grounds so it was a bit scary at night as you could not see anything beyond the range of the porch light. As a female traveling alone, it would have been nice to have at least a couple of lights on the grounds between the cabins and the main office, as the grounds get very dark at night. There was a nice continental type breakfast of pastries and bagels offered on the weekend that was nice. I did like the full size coffee maker that allowed me to make hot water in the room, though the cups were a bit small. The grounds are well kept and the pool looked inviting but I just didn't have the time to use it. The couch was very comfortable and I loved the rooster alarm clock. It worked very well to get me up in the morning. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

Not as advertised, steep price, didn't stay
We expected the cabins to be "rustic," but ours was in ill repair and kind of shabby. The worst part about the accommodations was that the bathroom had a closet sticking out into it, so you couldn't get from the toilet to the sink without squeezing between the corner of the closet and the shower (if you were thin enough) or going back through the bedroom and living room to another entrance. We had called ahead to make sure there was air conditioning since it was forecast to be quite hot, but the promised air conditioner was too tiny to cool the cabin. The mattress was only so-so and there wasn't much space in the bedroom. The other issue was that the free WiFi they advertised was only available in the main office building, and didn't reach to the cabins. The hostess was lovely, kind, and polite, but it couldn't make up for the shortcomings of the cabin. When we had looked at the cabin and decided not to stay, she refunded the following three nights' fee, but she charged me for that night per the facility's policy. I was happy to pay $150 not to stay there. I think they're doing the best they can with what they've got, but the place needs more remodeling and the price is very steep for what you get.

Cabins-perfect for families or romance
If you're looking for a cabin experience in mid-Vermont this place is for you. New owners are working hard to upgrade the cabins. Don't be put off by the need for external paint on the cabins; the interiors are comfortable and the beautiful bedspreads and pillows show the hard work of the new owners. Next on their agenda are the exteriors of the cabins. The "campus" is beautiful with a nice-sized pool and plenty of open greenery to relax in. New owners are very responsive to any requests and our stay was relaxing and just what Vermont is about.

beautiful rustic getaway
Their new name is Autumn Mountain Winery Cabins, although the winery part is still being prepared with pending licenses, etc. Point is the place has beautiful grounds (including grapes) and a lovely swimming pool, and fun games particularly for kids. For this non-kid it was very relaxing, not perfectly quiet due to Route 7 nearby but no annoying noise.

An Expensive Discomfort
As I was getting ready to retire for the evening, I could not shower, because there was no hot water. John came by and tripped switch, but to no avail. I did not take a shower until the following morning. I paid $174 to be able to get to my daughter's camp within 20 minutes, but I ended up being miserable. The windows were unclean, infested with cobwebs. Breakfast was just bagel with cream cheese, orange juice and coffee. For extra 20 minutes ride, I would have stayed at the holiday Inn in Rutland for $50 less, with full breakfast. For all that inconvenience, which my wife and I addressed with the owner in the morning, they could not offer us any discount. You live and learn. I will NEVER stay there again!

Very cute cabins, nice local area
Very cute, rustic cabins and nice little New England feel. The new owners are still doing some upgrades from the previous owners but they have done a good job of updating the important things first. The pool was very nice and recently painted. The cabins were comfortable and quiet. The local area was nice and the cabins aren't far from lots of things to do. Its not far off the beaten path and very accessible. Even though other cabins and the road was close by, it still felt very private and quiet.

cabins are very dated but comfortable.they are in need of several repairs.the Wi-Fi is absolutely terrible and worked 10% of the time.you will need to bring lots of money and trek to rutland for all your food because in Brandon other than mcdonalds nothing else is worth it.urusla the keeper is very friendly and informed us about the area and we took it from there.we missed the weekend breakfast because we got up after 930am.the cabin met our needs as we were there to hike trails and drive all around Vermont.overall I rate it 2 out of 5 stars.

Cozy and Vintage
This cottage is definitely vintage but not in comfort. Locations is perfect, it is serene and quiet, beautiful and relaxing. Bed AND sofa bed were comfortable to sleep. AC, thankfully kept out cottages cool during our warm weekend getaway. We did not have any real problems except if you are a person who likes to shower in the morning, the water pressure is really affected around the high traffic checking out time frame. Elsewise no complaints. And remember these are "cottages" when The owner's are so friendly, accommodating, and pleasant. What can actually go wrong, when your cottage is located at a winery. :-)

Overall good. The owner was very friendly and helpful, but we really would have like to have air-conditioning. The cabin was definitely cozy and we would stay here again.
Response from Ursula Zahn Owner/ Operator on 10 Aug 2016
Thank you for your review, Kathy! Just to clarify, most of our cottages do have air conditioning. All have fans and ac is usually not needed as the cottages are in a shade and nights in Vermont tend to be cool and crisp. Little piece of advice - please note in your reservation that air conditioning is needed and we will be sure to assign you to an appropriate cottage. We are looking forward to see and your husband again!

I don't understand why this place had bad reviews
When we were initially looking for a place, we saw this one and were uncertain because of a few other reviews. Perhaps they were describing the state before any renovations. Our stay was wonderful, a peaceful quaint rustic cabin, not isolated but that made moving easier. The room may have lacked a kitchenette, but the fireplace make up for it. The stay included a very nice wine tasting, with very reasonablely priced home made wine. However, while the breakfast may not have been the best, I don't understand why this place is not strongly rated in the high 4s. If you want to stay at a bnb, this is not a bnb. If you want a quaint rustic cabin with a very homey feel and environment, this is perfect. We will be coming back next year.

Cute hotel, just not for breakfast!
While the cottage was very clean, welcoming and inviting...the beds were pretty hard and the free "breakfast" who we were really looking forward to, wasn't anything we would actually want for breakfast. We walked in to find a few hard bagels with different toppings, and some coffee...not so impressed by that. That said, the staff/owners were fantastic, and we will stay here again...just not for breakfast!

Nice and clean vintage cottages
The owners are just fantastic people, the winery is a fun addition. The cottages are very quaint and at the foothills of the beautiful Green Mountains. The Boston Terriers who let their parents run the place are delightful. Going back for leaf watching! The nearby town of Brandon has several lovely and affordable dining establishments.
