Another excellent stay at Clive's! The property is clean and well appointed with everything you need for a low-key stay. The wood-burning stove made for cozy nights after days spent on the water and in the woods in the NEK. We'll be back again.

One of the best locations we have ever seen for hiking, nature, and wildlife. I appreciated Clive's attentiveness and guidance - that his family preserved the adjacent land is amazing! We feel so lucky to have enjoyed the cabin (which is exactly as the photos suggest, very cozy and comfortable). Do come prepared to cook your own meals, restaurants are scarce, but the kitchen is well equipped. We really didn't want to leave - it was such a lovely, peaceful retreat. Thank you, Clive and family!

Clive was a gracious host and we're thankful to his family for protecting these pristine woods and sharing this property with the public. We loved our few days in this location perched on top of a hill (more like a mountain!) overlooking a scenic mountain ridge and nestled in conserved forests. The only sounds were the cows at a nearby farm and a wealth of wildlife. Easy access to gorgeous trails and the lake made for a great getaway. The general store in town had all we needed for provisions and coffee and pastries from Front Seat in Hardwick were top notch. With the addition of a new, more comfortable mattress and seating, this would be a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.

Great spot. Very tranquil with great views of the surrounding area. Short distance to several good markets and hikes. We jumped in the lake at the property after one hot day's trek. Kitchen is adequate for cooking, which we did. You can watch the sunrise over the distant hills and the fog burn off the low spots in the valley on cool mornings. Overall very very good, my only wish would be a new mattress on the big bed. Clive is a very cordial gent and welcomed us to this great hilltop hideaway himself. Thanks Clive!

We had a great time exploring Greensboro, Hardwick and Craftsbury. The scenery is beautiful and easy to get immersed in right outside the door of the guesthouse. The local food was great. Thanks Clive for your hospitality.

My husband and I and our dogs loved staying at the Guest Cottage - what a wonderful location on top of the hill, surrounded by conserved lands! My father joined us for a couple nights to celebrate father's day, and enjoyed it as well! From evening fires in the fireplace, to grilling in the yard and admiring the view, to the recreation opportunities (unparalleled walking access to Barr Hill Natural Area, paddling on Caspian, mountain biking in Craftsbury), and bushwhacking through the woods to Highland Lodge for margarita night (and tacos and ice cream!) - the Guest Cottage was the perfect place to spend a long weekend. We had trouble getting the wifi to work, but that just meant we had to play instead of working remotely - oh darn! ;)

The cottage was very charming. It was well stocked with everything you could need. The views were incredibe. The firepace was nice as the nights were chilly. Helpful information was provided regarding local places to visit and the owner was very friendly. Access to a private dock was great. Our dog enjoyed swimming in the lake. Overall, we had a nice visit and enjoyed our stay.

Reuniting with family in this charming and peaceful cottage was simply delightful. The privacy, sunlit views, hiking trails, access to Caspian Lake and surrounding countryside all came together to make our stay very special. The spacious cottage allowed us to enjoy gathering by the fire and space for cooking and enjoying wonderful meals together, with Willy’s country store and surrounding farm markets having all the essentials we could need. Feeling blessed to have been welcomed by the Gray family to their lovely Gray Eyrie cottage and very much look forward to returning in the future.

Tough to be complete since I was sick and had a broken foot while there. Our plans to hike and bike were quashed. Water access was too far away and could not see the lake which was disappointing. Also would have liked an outdoor deck or porch. Great sun and a good mountain view. Cabin needs a little TLC. Incredibly beautiful woods and an extensive trail system enjoyed by my husband and our dogs. Great place to hunker down to read and write. Wonderful woodstove. Willy's store nearby is a jewel.

Clive's guest house is the perfect Vermont getaway - nestled up in the forest, with a private dock just a short drive away. The cottage is rustic, charming and comfortable, and we loved being able to walk over to Barr Hill to watch the sunset. Swimming and canoeing in beautiful Lake Caspian was the icing on the cake! Thank you, Clive, for sharing your family getaway with us.

Lovely, cozy cottage tucked in the hills of the North East Kingdom. We spent a week swimming in the sublime waters of Caspian Lake, hiking the trails to Barr Hill and watching weather in the valley below. The house is fantastic--super usable, clean, and the family loved hanging out at night, reading by the fire and playing cards.Loved being outside the village, but accessible to the amenities like Willeys and Hill Farmstead. Check out Bread and Puppet and the Museum of Everyday Life just up the road in Glover for some local culture!
