Exceptional Find in the Green Mountains
This was an amazing property tucked away in the Green Mountains within minutes of Smuggler's Notch. The property is absolutely beautiful with everything we needed for a one week stay. The owner was friendly and responsive to our needs. This is a wonderful property which my wife and I highly recommend. Jim & Norma Carbine

Short but sweet
My only complaint about our stay is that it was too short! We only had a couple of days for a quick get away but it was worth the trip. My communication with Ellen was easy and she made checking in totally hassle free. The place is perfect, homey and comforting, and the property, even though it was winter, I could tell would be magical in the warmer months. The view out the living room window made it hard to get up and get going but we did some exploring. Nothing beats a small New England town at Christmas time...I hope we can come back soon!

Another Wonderful Long Weekend
This is such a fantastic place to stay... The views are amazing, every window looks out onto beautiful scenery, the house itself is beautiful and has lots of cooking tools (I'm a big cook, so this is important to me), comfortable queen sized bed, and nice roomy clean bathroom. Ellen, our host, is my favorite host ever. She is friendly and available when/if needed, and just a great person all around. We love Ellen! We've already booked next year's anniversary weekend, and we can't wait to come back.

Best Place Ever
The photos don't do justice to how beautiful this property is. My husband and I stayed here for over two weeks this month and it was just perfect for a couple. We used the Pondhouse as our space for remote work. The house is well-equipped for those who like to cook. All the necessary pots, pans, spices, etc., are provided. The house is filled with light due to the gorgeous windows. Dozens of lovely paintings from the owner's mother (a professional artist) adorn the walls. After spending our mornings working, we found the house to be centrally located to so many great hiking spots and then great breweries for after hike beers. It is the perfect Vermont get away. The owner lives in her own house on the property and is very attentive and generous. Ellen works hard to make sure her guests have everything they need. I can't wait to go back!
