Rachel and her family made the stay perfect, adding special touches that made you feel right at home. The location is fabulous - walking distance to everything you need in Waitsfield and right on the river. Our kiddos loved running around on the property and playing with the cat and bunnies. We’d recommend staying here and hope to visit again someday! ##### Erica P. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron A. 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic home and host! It’s hard to capture all of the ways that Rachel and Luke made us feel at home. Check-in was not only seamless, but Rachel was kind enough to let us in early after a long all-night drive. All of the beds had crisp, clean linens… plenty of towels for both inside and outside, and a kitchen fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Coffee pot, kettle, vacuum cleaners, TVs with Netflix and air conditioners, brand new washer/dryer were also available for use. The location of the house right on the Mad River made for great swimming, relaxing and listening to the river, and seats + fire pit for a fire and s’mores. If you have smaller kids, just be aware that the embankment along the river in front of the house is very steep (you need to pay attention). The covered bridge next to the house is beautiful and gives you quick access to stores in town. Everything you could possibly need is within a 5 mins drive (food, groceries, hardware, restaurants, cafes… you name it). Rachel also provided tubes for floating down the river, and some of the cutest bunnies in the barn to entertain our kids. Truly a special place to be! Thank you Rachel and Luke :-) ##### Aaron A. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin Y. 27 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family get away The house was great!! Plenty of room inside for everyone to have their own space and also large rooms for everyone to gather together. The outdoors was great! The patio was shaded and comfortable to sit and read or grill and eat. The yard was great fun for a game of croquet, a small fire or to step into the river for a swim. The location was perfect for our many adventures to Burlington, Warren, Montpelier... Museums, river swimming, rock jumping and hiking. My only regret is that we did not have enough time to do all that I wanted to. It was wonderful meeting the hosts, great source of information on places and things to do. You will love it there, we all did!!!! ##### Erin Y. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ---
