AMAZING views!!! The cabin was beautifully rustic! We typically bring all of our own gear. However, Kathleen and John had everything you could need! Their dead end road leads to beautiful trails through the tapped maple trees into a large field. Our dogs ran like crazy!! Kathleen and John were gracious enough to let us borrow their snow shoes! Very nice people and private cabin! We also checked out Hill Farmstead Brewery a short drive away, which is ranked on many levels for many beers. Thanks for the stay!

Cozy Vermont Cabin!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway here! Such a cozy cabin with expansive views of Stowe and Mansfield, and well connected to outdoor recreation areas. The cabin itself was very comfortable with its wood burning stove and sleeper futon and was well furnished with cooking supplies and silverware. The host Kathleen was really helpful and had great recommendations for activities in the area. Highly recommend!

Best winter experience!!!

We arrived just before a large snowfall and had an amazing time snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Can't say enough about the hosts! They were communicative, highly flexible, friendly, and so generous with their time, resources, and knowledge. They made sure we were safe getting there and leaving on wintery roads, let us borrow some ski gear, made sure we were warm enough, showed us the nearby ski trails, and cleared the drive for us to leave on a particularly snowy morning. You can ski right from the cabin on pristine trails and snowshoe all you want. The cabin stays warmer than others we've stayed in during the winter with a wood stove. The hosts provided plenty of drinking water and wood. Very comfortable futon. Spectacular views. Quiet, safe, private. Electricity was a welcome touch. It doesn't get better than this for a winter weekend getaway. Thank you, hosts, for everything! We hope to be back again one day!

Kathleen and John were wonderful hosts! The cabin was well kept, stocked with essential supplies, and very cozy. I had a great time staying there and I’d gladly return the next chance I get!

A winter retreat.

It was perfect for my personal retreat. The pictures were exactly what I expected. It was a snowy cold weekend and I was able to keep cozy warm with the wood stove and all the wood to keep the fire burning! Great place to cross country ski in trail and blazing into the forest, woods and open space. They offered up skate for the pond and a sled too! Kathleen and John were fabulous hosts, they made me feel like I met new friends. They respected my privacy and made sure I was comfortable, safe and warm. Thank you!
