Peaceful, cozy and spectacular views.

Every need accommodated including a back-up generator! Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Very cozy and spacious home inside. Very comfortable bed mattress in master bedroom. Lots of yard for dogs to run free. Nature all around. Lots of books and board games there. Laundry room was a big plus. Remote setting but lots to see and explore within reach. Very lovely stay and hosts were very responsive.

Peaceful retreat

From the photos on this listing, I knew there would be beautiful views. We were able to watch the partial lunar eclipse from the balcony off the primary bedroom! I think the best part, was how quiet it is. The property is fairly close to the parks we wanted to visit and the driving we did involved almost no traffic on winding country roads. The owners made sure the house was well stocked with supplies. I had brought a couple of books with me but found myself perusing the incredible number of books - including some childhood favorites on the shelves downstairs.

Beautiful refuge in the hills of southern Vermont

Wonderful house on a gorgeous hilltop property. Hosts are kind and reached out to us to ask if we needed anything and we wound up having a longer chat about the history of the area. If you're a cyclist like me, this area can't be beat for gravel riding.

Wonderful experience & hosts

We stayed at the house for almost a week. We loved that is was secluded, with a huge and accessible property where the kids did a lot of sledding and bushwacking. Donna and Chris are super responsive and accessible. They graciously offered us an extra night at no cost to ride out a snow storm. We hope to return again!

Felt right at home

Quick and friendly communication from the Owner, clean, authentic home with acres of privacy. The property was already plowed and shoveled for our arrival at the tail end of a nor'easter. We loved the house so much we started looking at plans to build our own. Short drive through the quaint villiages to the ski slopes. We hope to stay here on our next trip to Vermont.

A great weekend getaway

We had a wonderful time. Great location, just a short 10 min drive Wilmington where there are shops and restaurants. Close to Mount Snow, 30 min drive. The home had great charm. Roomy enough for 10 and two dogs. A little too cluttered for my liking and could have felt cleaner ie. there was a bowl of previous tenants bacon grease left on window ledge above the sink. We would definitely go back.

Hüseyin

The condition of the house is very far from the city and the worst part is that the house is everywhere. Chad dolls and pig puppets are like cursed houses and the bed sheets are very dirty. It is not possible to sleep on the pillows because of the head odor. I tried to sleep by covering the pillows with a towel. I rented the house because the people who recommended it gave good grades to that house. I don't understand why they gave good marks, I definitely do not recommend that house to anyone.

Extraordinary Experience!

This is our Vermont favorite! Perched way up among the hills, this affordable and rustic homestead has spectacular views of the region. There is not another home to be seen from the property. The peaceful privacy is a rare find. Without the light pollution of a city, the stars glow so brightly in the night sky. We loved the spacious deck, whirlpool tub, fire pit, and wood burning stove. Dogs love running around the acreage. Home is clean and comfortable. Fast Wifi. It's also great location and relatively short drive to local dining and recreational spots including Mt Snow valley, lakes, and parks. We enjoy kayaking the Harriman Reservoir and hiking Molly Stark Park. The owners are gracious, responsive, and very helpful with recommendations. Their family goes back generations in the area so they are a wealth of information to help you have that authentic visit that most tourists miss. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Breathtaking Panoramic Mtn.Views

This charming and cozy log cabin set high on a hill welcomes you the moment you walk in.My fiance' and I were immediately taken by the warmth of personal touches of pottery,books,art & quilts (on every bed.)There is every pot & pan & cookware to make gourmet meals for family gatherings. You actually feel as if you are staying at a friend's home. The early morning sunrises & evening sunsets vs.the backdrop of the mtns are views that we have never experienced before. Truly rare.Simply magical. We highly recommend this very special custom family home if you want to get away and enjoy privacy, peace & serenity. Thank you Chris & Donna for your hospitality and being available for any & all of our needs.We hope to return every Holiday Season! Kate S. & Brien E.

Amazing and Idyllic getaway (especially for dogs!)

We loved our time on this property. We had initially planned on roaming/hiking around southern VT with our dog and 3 year old, but ended up spending hours and hours just exploring the property itself and relaxing on the deck, on the grass, in the tree house, in the hammock, by the fire pit, under the stars… the list goes on and on! The property is very secluded, we had our dog off leash the whole time, in the night we’d keep him on a high-vis collar to keep track of him. Our son suddenly turned into Huck Finn and loved rummaging around the woods in the back, crafting things and playing games in the shade. They have many binoculars for watching the many birds (owls, swallows, falcons) and other critters around. The wood fire stove inside was great and easy to use, and the owners left useful instructions for everything. Will return.

Peace & Serenity in a Stunning Setting

As a repeat guest to this charming custom Post & Beam 'Home' , I highly recommend staying for a long wkend or a months at time. My fiance' and I are enchanted by the sweeping long driveway all the way to the top,there sits this special log cabin (with almost 360' mtn views!) Every sunrise and every sunset amazes.For the purist, for whom the mtns call, this is your spot. The hosts are the kindest & warmest people.You feel well taken care of the second you step in the door- to an open concept home with lovely furnishings, beautiful rugs,big sofas (& deluxe rocking chairs/ Lazy Boy's!) The loft level is entirely a Master Suite with skylights and French Doors to a balcony with a separate open study (with an incredible & impressive library.)Main level has an additional 2 charming & cozy bedrms- one I enjoy using as my private office. Below, are double queen size beds and toys galore for your kids or Grandkids. Best of all, your 4- legged family is welcome!Our dogs love the majestic setting as much as we do. We plan on coming back to Chris & Donna's haven 'up on the hill' as often as we possibly can. Kate S.
