Let me start with the positives… the owner was very responsive via email with directions and check in process. The house was really clean on arrival. And sitting in the afternoon sun, out on the back deck with a glass of wine and the sound of the stream below was really relaxing and enjoyable.
However, getting there was an adventure as the driveway was a muddy mess. I know the owner’s have no control over the weather and she alerted me to the fact on our way there but I wasn’t sure our big 4wheel drive was going to make it. It was challenging to say the least. Not to mention, there was no place to walk the dog without going thru the mud.
The house is tiny and I think would really be a stretch for 4 people. Also the owner’s log cabin is only about 50 yards away so not quite the solitude I had expected. No Verizon cell service and the Wi-Fi didn’t work for the first 2 nights we were there. I never called the owner on that because it didn’t really matter to us. I had a book and the backgammon board with us. It did unexpectedly show up on our last night. Lastly, the house is cute but there is a lot of stuff. Everywhere. Maybe a little less stuff would have helped in figuring out where to put my suitcase and my stuff.
With that said, it was still a nice vacation and who doesn’t have a good time in Vermont!?
