Private Hideaway
Nice home with large open dining/living area. That space was great for family (all adults) to hang out together, and each couple also had their own bedroom. Kitchen very well equipped.

Return to heaven
Our family originally built this home and it was amazing to see what Jose’s family has done to it over the years. If looking for a quiet place to stay that is still within a short distance of civilization, this is your place to go

A great mini-vacation
We live in Vermont, and decided to vacation in the state due to the coronavirus. We had to make several changes in our original reservation (due to the pandemic), and the property manager was very helpful in handling these. The place was even better than we imagined. We wish we could have spent more time away. There was so much to do, even just a short drive away. And, we could have happily stayed just at the house. It was comfortable, bright, and well-provisioned. In addition, although we couldn't swim in the pond, it provided endless entertainment to the two children who used the net to capture (and release) "critters." Hopefully, there will be another visit in the future. Thank you!
