I can't say enough good things about our stay in VT. I wish we had been able to stay longer. The location was wonderful as was the home and the property it was located on. Look no further, book your stay at the Wishing Well Cabin!

We recently enjoyed our repeat stay at this beautiful house by the river and near Stratton, and it was just as exceptional as our previous stay. The location is perfect, offering serene river views and quick access to the slopes. The house is impeccably maintained, with cozy interiors and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Dave and Carol are incredibly accommodating, making us feel right at home. We can't wait for our next visit!

We had a delightful stay in the Wishing Well Cabin. The hosts had very thoughtfully furnished and cared for the property. It was very relaxing looking at the river and enjoying games. A great place to rest, relax and rejuvenate.

From the beautiful setting - a rushing river just off the rear deck - to the lovely home and hosts that offered basically everything you’d need, this was a great retreat for our family. The owners are great to work with. They have done a great job of setting up the house for guests and are available to help make sure that you have a great vacation. We will definitely stay here again!!

A lovely cabin in beautiful Jamaica Vt. Extremely well stocked, with everything needed for a great stay, even pancake mix and extra toothbrushes. Hosts are very nice and helpful, while giving you complete privacy. We would enjoy staying again but expect it’s going to be very popular and hard to book.

Dave and Carol are wonderful, thoughtful hosts to a well stocked, supet clean and comfortably decorated home .
Off the back deck of the home is a firepit just a short distance from a calming rolling brook which kept 3 children and 5 adult rock hunters occupied for hours!
The house is also just a short distance from a small market and a farmstand with a bakery .
If you are looking for a peaceful vacation we can't say enough about the Wishing Well and its hosts!
Thank you, Dave and Carol 😃

This property is by far the best I have ever stayed at. Perfect setting on the river, short path to a swimming hole, linens and supplies provided were over and above anything else I've experienced. The house was immaculate, comfortable and beautifully decorated. David is an excellent communicator - so many great things about this property!

By far, the cleanest vrbo I've ever rented. This place has everything you need. Right on the river, you can tube down it or walk through a path to a swimming hole. The owners could not have been more helpful - so responsive, but also left us to enjoy our weekend. Super-easy check-in/out. Book this cabin, you will not regret it!

Just as pictured, Wishing Well Cabin is beautiful. Dave and Carol are great hosts, and have thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable. From the beds, to the linens, to the fully stocked kitchen, the house had everything we needed for a fabulous stay. This is our third time staying at Wishing Well Cabin and we will be back for sure!

The cabin is spacious but cozy, clean and had everything we needed,
Including stuff to make a wonderful breakfast! Above and beyond.
Hosts were fantastic and communication was great. Can’t recommend highly enough. Loved the river and the fire pit.
We’ll surely be back!

We loved every bit of this property and our stay. Convenient location to restaurants and hiking. The hosts provide the first breakfast of eggs, english muffins, and bacon and oj. Plenty of coffee making options from a Keurig, regular pot and even an espresso maker. Coffee grounds included. This is a well stocked kitchen to be able to bring food and cook. The downstairs bed was very comfortable and right next to the main bathroom. The river is directly out the backdoor and fun to wade in when the water isn’t too high. We would highly recommend this vacation spot.

A group of 6 stayed here for a weekend and it was perfect!! The house had everything you could ever need. Everything was clean and so organized. You can tell they are caring hosts. Dave came over to say hello and tell us about the swimming hole behind the property. It was awesome. We would 1000% come back! Thanks Dave & Carol!

As soon as you walk in you can feel how much care was put into your comfort. This is the most well thought out house I have stayed at. You can tell there has been great effort in the details. If you forget something I’m sure you’ll find it there. The house is immaculate. We spent most of our time exploring the river and island footsteps from the porch. We loved the fire pit and enjoyed the games provided. Jamaica, Vt. is one our favorite places to relax. This will be our first choice if available for future trips. Thank you!!

We came to stay for a week with our family as a getaway and we had an unbelievable time!!! The cabin is gorgeous!! very new and updated!! we especially enjoyed the little added touches the owner made to take it up a level!! there was even breakfast for the 1st morning (lasted all our whole time)!!! We had some rain so the river right outside was high so we had a great time tubing down it!! Then we hiked to the swimming hole and stayed there all day!!! The games both inside and outside the house were AWESOME!!! The owners were incredible! Helping us with making a fire, taking our kids for a spin, and just overall lovely people!!! Thank you for giving us such a magnificent vacation!!!

Traveled from Dallas/Fort Worth via Boston for a surprise long weekend getaway for my wife's birthday based on our friends' recommendation who stayed there recently. It was even better than expected! The cabin is incredibly clean, well decorated, and stocked with everything you could think of for an awesome home away from home. There is a lot to see in the surrounding area and the drive from Boston wasn't bad at all. Our friends came with us for the weekend and the layout of the cabin worked out really well. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom (one upstairs and one down) and the shared spaces were great - game room and tv upstairs, large dining table, stocked and functional kitchen, and a cosy living room to watch a movie in after a long day! There is a nice deck in the back with a great view of the creek which was pretty high while we were there and made a great addition to the ambience of the place with the noise of the moving water. We would love to stay again and bring our kids next time (they will love the creek area to explore and play in)! The owners are so kind, easy to work with, and responsive. They have really thought of everything to make this an incredible place. We look forward to seeing y'all again! Book this place...you wont be disappointed!
