A friend and I stayed here for a few nights with our dogs, looking to decompress and get some fresh air. This little place is absolutely lovely, entirely what we needed. The view is breathtaking, the area so quiet and peaceful, and the owners were so friendly. There was something so serene watching the horses be walked out to graze in the grass behind the house every morning, and it was a treat to be able to feed them peanuts! The fire pit in the back was great, and the provided firewood amazing, too. Multiple times, our dogs had the joy of romping around the yard with the owners’ super friendly pup, Bailey, who was honestly a highlight for us! The road the house is on offers a nice hike, and there are trails and stuff nearby too; the owner was super knowledgable and had great suggestions for food, as well. We were sad to go, but we’re already looking forward to planning another trip.

Loved our escape to Vermont! Everything was great! The Brown’s made sure everything went well. We were able to enjoy their beautiful horses across the road at the barn and right in our yard with mountains as the backdrop. The deck was perfect for relaxing with a nice fire. Our dogs were able to run and play while interacting with the horses. Lots of shops and places to eat in town and neighboring towns. We even found a spot along the river to explore and cool off in with the dogs. Tons of places to hike, as well!

We looked for a peaceful retreat, we got it! Very quiet, surrounded by the mountains, wildlife (as turkeys, squirrels), a horse barn in the back and the hosts’ friendly dog! We met Bob, very friendly, full of information about the area, we enjoyed our chats! Whenever we come to Vermont, we will stay here again!

We arrived at this charming cottage at dusk to be met with twinkling lights lining the porch and walkway. We felt at home immediately in this cozy cottage. It was clean and had everything we needed to make this sisters week perfect! We enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking our morning coffee watching the sun rise. The horses were an added bonus...just watching them graze and feeding them peanuts was a treat for us. The hosts Dawn &Sam were wonderful! We cant say enough nice things about them!! We hope to make a return trip in the future to this peaceful cottage!!!

Perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet country spot just minutes to Chester. Our little dog loved running and sniffy around the surrounding grounds, too. Owners had complete and clear instructions for everything and obviously care about guests’ comfort.

Wonderful stay with beautiful views. I would call this a rustic cabin . It had everything we needed, does need a little TLC, furniture very outdated but that is the charm of it . I would recommend replacing torn lamp shades, and maybe more of a woman’s touch. That being said ,if your looking for a extremely peaceful getaway this is it ! We would definitely stay again !

We arrived to 18 inches of snow on the ground & it was very beautiful. A bit difficult to make it to the house from the truck as a walkway was not cleared. We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at the cottage with a beautiful view. Loved the fireplace! Chester is a relaxing town.

My son and I wanted to get away for a few days, and this little mountain cabin was perfect! Very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the mountains from the back porch. Located away up the mountain, but close enough to several little Vermont towns with food and antique shops to explore. Although it is definitely the "off season" we enjoyed relaxing in the cabin and checking out the quiet little town of Chester and nearby Putney. The road is unpaved, but seemed very well maintained, I was happy to have 4 wheel drive on the last day when it rained heavily. We will most definitely be back!

Great place and great hosts. We had everything we needed for our ‘friends and family ski weekend’. Loved the hot tub and the fireplace. Perfect location too- just a short drive to Sunday River and all areas restaurants and shops. We also booked the private chef for a group dinner one night which was such a nice experience. The chef uses locally sourced ingredients and our meal was incredible. Would definitely stay again!!

The cottage was a great stay for our ski trip to Vermont. The cottage is very welcoming and had everything we needed. it was comfortable throughout and we enjoyed the wood fire stove each evening after skiing. Beds were comfortable, the bathroom was supplied with plenty of towels and some toiletries and the kitchen had a good supply of pots, pans, dishes and plenty of basics for cooking and making coffee. We were only 25 mins from Okemo and 50 mins from Mount Snow so great for our ski plans. Communication and information from the host was great and we will definitely look to stay here again on our future trips.

My partner, my chiweenie and I were very pleased with our stay at this comfortable, cozy cabin! If you're looking to get away, this is it. At the same time, restaurants and several ski areas are just a short drive away. Highly recommend and we hope to stay here again!

If you want a peaceful vacation,this is the place you want to rent.There is plenty of hiking in the area,and plenty of shopping,not far from the cottage. The foliage is beautiful this time of year in Vermont. The owners are so nice,and their dog,Bailey, will come and visit you on the deck.The horses are friendly,and my husband had fun feeding them peanuts.We liked the woodstove and the chiminea. They were easy to light,and there was plenty of wood,on the deck for them.Thankyou,Dawn and Bob for your hospitality!We definitely enjoyed our stay! Sue and Dave L.

I was torn about how to write this review. The property is beautiful, exactly as advertised. Dawn and Sam were super nice and very responsive. But the smell in the bathroom was hard to deal with. Dawn and Sam were in constant communication with us about it and were making efforts to deal with it. I am confident they will find the source and fix it which is why I rated the property a 5 because that’s the experience it will be once it’s fixed.

I understand why this place has such good reviews, but unfortunately we did not have the same experience as the other reviewers. The place is just as described and has a wonderful view, but during our visit, there was a rotting smell coming from the bathroom that permeated throughout the first floor. While the place looked clean, it did not feel clean because of the awful smell. Showering, eating, and generally living in the stench was not a good experience. We escaped outside as much as possible, but unfortunately for us it was raining for most of our trip. The hosts were aware of the smell prior to our arrival and the right thing to do would have been to offer us a refund and a chance to find other accommodations or at the very least offer a discounted stay. The hosts came over to clean under the bathroom sink and check the vent from the roof when I complained, but clearly there is a dead animal rotting somewhere that they did not address. I doubt this review will be read by anyone that has already booked this place, but on the off chance that it is, I would contact the hosts and ask IF and HOW the issue has been resolved prior to your stay. We made the most of our trip, but if money were not an issue, we would have been out of there and at a motel.

This cabin will let you escape it all…and there’s horses! The cabin is small, but well furnished and cozy. The deck is amazing, with the outdoor fire place and the beautiful view of the meadow and the mountains beyond. The hosts live next door are are super friendly and responsive if you have any issues. Make sure you go feed the horses!

We had an amazing time just relaxing on the property and exploring some local towns & hikes. The cottage was so charming, we loved sitting by the indoor fire and outdoor chiminea. It was a most peaceful getaway and I must say I got the best night’s sleep while there.

Myself, my husband, our 2 children (ages 2 and 4) and our 2 dogs had a great long weekend at the cottage. The view was spectacular and large yard were exactly what we were looking for. Our kids loved the house and the horses across the street. Chester is a cute downtown to fulfill any of your needs. We had a great time and will definitely be back! Thank you Dawn and Sam for a wonderful time.

This is a quaint little rustic cabin. All the basic amenities are provided, including plenty of bedding, dishes and fire logs. Consider this glamping with perks! The property was very accommodating for our two dogs and the views were beautiful. I would suggest that the only real improvement that is needed is to have the septic tank serviced once the snow is gone as there was an odor in the bathroom that could be a little overwhelming. I thank the owners of the property for our first Vermont experience to have been so memorable.

We are return customers. As delightful as last stay in 2017. Cottage clean , all amenities you need. Delightful and cozy. Loved the rural. Only concern I have for future visitors, if there is any chance you maybe visiting during time of thaw, bring a SUV w all wheel drive. It was a nail biter going thru the deep mud ruts. Had to find a car wash to hose wheels free from the mud so we could travel greater than 45mph. Otherwise don’t pass the chance to stay here
