We recommend 4WD or AWD vehicles for driving in Vermont over the winter months.

The house has 2 pack and plays that can be used.

The game inside the game room will change from time to time (air hockey, pool table, etc.) so please reach out if you would like confirm which game will be there.

You are more than welcome to bring your dog, we just ask that you keep him/her off furniture and beds as it’s difficult to get the hair off and please pick up outside if in trafficked areas. If you would like to bring more than one dog please just reach out for pre-approval.

Dogs visit the home on occasion so if you are allergic please take this into consideration

The house is family friendly but isn’t baby proofed.

In the family suite, you must walk through the king bed portion to get to bunk room

Due to the serine beautiful location cell service is minimal. We typically use the landline or turn on our WiFi Calling.

BBQ is stored during peak winter so that it isn't damaged

Spring and fall are ladybug season in VT and it is very common for ladybugs to gather near windows. They are NOT harmful but we like to give our renters a heads up regardless.

As expected the river water levels will fluctuate depending on rainfall, etc. There are times when it's shallower and times when it's deeper.

I would absolutely recommend staying here. The house is beautiful, spacious and so welcoming and warm. The location is great, private but close to town and the surrounding area. The fire pit beach area was so fun to hangout and make smores. We brought our dogs and they loved it! They had a blast in the brook and the fenced in yard area was perfect for them to run and play. Thank you for such a nice relaxing weekend, we will be back!

Alex and Rebecca’s VT retreat is a true gem! As a group of 12, with 3 different families including kids of all different ages, the layout of the house was ideal. Each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, with rooms to spare! There was endless entertainment for the children and plenty of cozy spots to spread out and relax in. It never felt crowded. The massage chair was a big hit for the whole family, especially after some great days at the mountain. Stratton is a quick 7 minute drive from the house, which made going back and forth throughout the day easy. The backyard and property itself is beautiful, with a babbling brook and tons of land to explore and fields of snow to play in! The kids especially enjoyed finding ladybugs in the window sills and setting them free outside. A highlight for them :) We definitely hope to make this house a yearly winter tradition for our family! Thank you for keeping such a clean, beautiful and cozy home.

Our stay was fantastic! The house and property are beautiful and the location is secluded and peaceful, which is exactly what we wanted. There are so many things to do around it, so it’s the perfect home base. The property owners/managers were great communicators and recommended some really good places to visit. Weston was one of them and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend staying here!

We love this location to kick-back and relax. The fenced in yard is nice for our dog Roxie. We enjoyed cooking smores over the firepit, hiking some of the local trails and spending quiet time with family and friends. Having separate bedrooms/bathrooms for each member of our group is a plus. Alex was very responsive and flexible.

This is an excellent choice for extended families who want together time as well as privacy and outdoor space for kids and space where adults can gather and play cards in the evening without waking up kids sleeping upstairs. House—a former boarding house—is generous in size and well furnished, and property is distinctive in that it's got a good sized fenced in yard great for young children and about half an acre of the property around the house is mowed, which makes for good play areas for grown-ups as well as kids. There's a river behind the house, and a great natural pool to splash in about 50 yards up river. Importantly, Alex and Rebecca were attentive hosts. We got to the property just a few days after the terrible mid-July floods that tore up the local roads, and on our first day in the house received a flyer from the Town of Jamaica warning us about another storm on the horizon and saying further damage to the roads could leave us isolated for a while. I called Alex, and he arranged for us to move out that night to a house in the nearby Stratton ski resort, and we stayed there two nights and then were able to return to the first house without worry. Excellent handyman associated with the house, so when something went wrong—a dishwasher that wouldn't drain all the way—Eddie was over in a couple of hours and fixed the problem. And if you're in the habit of getting up early, and are capable of walking quietly, you'll find deer by the river until they see you.
