Beautiful location and a lovely cottage and host!

We decided on Vermont to see the eclipse and found this cottage by chance on VRBO. Kate is likely the best host that we have ever had in any vacation rental. And that is saying a lot since we strictly use rentals for all of our trips! Prior to our trip, she worked with us on adding extra days and kept track of the forecast for us. When we first arrived on a snowy afternoon, we were charmed by the beauty of the area and the cottage itself. The next day we met Kate and she shared the history of Shelburne Farms. Being history buffs, we were thrilled that she took the time to share this with us as most hosts aren't that communicative. We took several walks around the farm, and purchased some breads and cheese from the farm store that made me want to move to Vermont! We loved being able to see the eclipse right outside the cottage's door without driving for hours and dealing with hordes of people. We found so much to explore in Vermont, that we are planning to come back in the late summer or late spring next year, or whenever Kate's property is available. Thank you Kate for giving us an experience that we will remember forever!

Cozy cottage surrounded by nature

The house is small and cozy with everything you need. Lots of natural light and a beautiful view into the trees from the upstairs bedroom. King bed is very comfortable. The shower has great water pressure. Nice character with interesting wood details. Best of all is the surrounding property with beautiful walking trails and views of Lake Champlain. For anyone who enjoys nature, this house is in the perfect location (while still minutes from the center of Shelburne with a grocery store and great selection of restaurants). Our host was thoughtful and easy to work with. We highly recommend this house to anyone who appreciates natural beauty and enjoys small and cozy.

A perfect stay

We stayed in the winter while visiting my parents nearby. The house was set up perfectly for our stay, with lots of special touches like the maple syrup, local cheddar and milk provided. The kitchen has every type of equipment, although we didn't end up cooking there. We did appreciate the electric kettle for our tea and the laundry facilities. Shelburne Farms is amazing, and we did lots of walks even in the raw temperatures. Kate was super helpful and communicative, even inviting us back to stay on our departure night due to a storm (we got out fine). We hope to be back in another season!

Complete Zen

There are not enough stars to rate or words to truly capture the peace and beauty of Sugarbush Cottage and Shelburne Farms. It is an experience that is to be felt. We had such an amazing experience walking all around the farm. The views are spectacular and the cottage is cozy, clean, and had everything we needed and wanted. The owner, Kate, is super friendly, available, and very kind. It was hard to leave such a perfect place!

We keep coming back!

This was the third time we've stayed at this property. It is peaceful and serene, the kitchen is very well equipped, comfortable beds and seating. Kate is a wonderful host and always quick to respond if we've had any questions. We are always welcomed with a fresh bag of coffee, crackers and wonderful cheese (that is made right there on the farm.) There are miles of trails to walk on the farm and the views of the lake, mountains and woodlands are breathtaking. (We loved hearing the barred owls every morning.) The location is close to Burlington and many other charming towns and vistas that you'll want to experience.
