If you are looking for quiet...and I mean ABSOLUTE quiet...this is your place! Nestled just five minutes south of Readsboro, VT, Brookside Cottage is the place to get disconnected and just breathe a bit. Our family needed this place...I needed to be here...with our kids growing up so fast, now at 14 and 11, my wife and I just wanted to have a few days to be together, play some games, watch some movies, and enjoy each other's company. I'm convinced we found the place that we will return to for years to come, and regardless of the season, we'll find happy memories together here as we made this week. Michael was a fantastic host from booking to even thanking us for being there! You won't go wrong with this gem, hidden in the beautiful and breathtaking silence of southern Vermont. ![Front of property from Lee Road](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f9cd94c-9c1e-4f22-9cf7-cab1a46e845c-1771517667566.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Nice walk in the snow near the cottage](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/646d2bd5-5c37-433f-bf24-4f49cdad3090-1771517667775.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The creek behind the house had opened a bit, even in the cold weather](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/309ec888-55c8-4a8a-a309-d5e252253be9-1771517668089.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason H.
