The house was perfect for our needs and was very well kept. Vernon is a lovely town with historic character. In addition to being only a few miles from the wedding venue, the proximity with both Seymour and Madison was perfect. The hosts were willing to meet our needs in whatever we were needing to accomplish. We would love to visit and stay here again, and it's a bonus that both of our daughters live nearby. ##### Sylvia G.
