Cozy stay at a very vermont home

My friends and I came to stay to be close to Stratton Resort. The house was great, tons of space and well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the fireplace and wood burning stove. Ellen was really responsive and was extremely accommodating!

Terrific stay in a one of a kind location

Our stay at the Townshend property was splendid. It felt more like being a guest of a family member or dear friend than your typical rental. The residence was clearly home to many wonderful memories (with ours now layered somewhere on top). The owner was warm, communicative, and clear about arrival, stay, and departure. Highly recommended and would be delighted to stay again.

Quaint, historic home

We enjoyed our girls weekend retreat in this quaint and historic home! It has an expansive yard, perfect for stargazing and croquet. The house is convenient to farmer's markets and state parks where we enjoyed hikes and walks.
