GOOD POINTS: Dave is very nice, communicates and is helpful. Location is very nice & quiet. Place is small but cute layout. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is cute. Appliances work well. Plenty of storage. BAD POINTS: The smells in the apartment were terribly hard to handle and we burned 9 large candles to try to help. Musty, moldy, mouse urine & droppings throughout the place. Empty soda can & garbage down between the wall & fridge that I just could not get out of there, too tight, very dusty, constant cigarette smoke smell, gas exhaust for owners heating is piped through plastic pipes sticking out the front of the apartment right under the windows which seeped in every time he used his heat. The couch is awful uncomfortable & smells of whatever happened on that couch in the past & of mouse pee / droppings & old mustiness. Nasty chair in the bedroom. The old drapes in the bedroom are musty & moldy smelling and so dusty & dirty. The 2 small curtains in the kitchen (which has 4 windows) are dirty, musty and only cover 2 of the 4 windows. The bathroom curtains are too short (don't cover the bottom of the window) and almost see through (Not private). I spent a lot of time & money cleaning and just couldn't get rid of the smells. If there was anything else in the area available we would have left the 1st day. Unfortunately there was nothing available and we wanted the month to see our kids, family & friends we hadn't seen in 2 years. We did leave a day early however. Bad for us.

Gracious host and comfortable unit.

This was a great place for us and our dog. David was friendly, helpful, and responded quickly when we had questions.

The owners were great, friendly and helpful. The place was perfect, I didn't need anything more and way better than any hotel! Price was great!

Highly recommended: Most accommodating and friendly hosts possible Best location Beautiful setting

When I rented this property for Christmas week 2020, the listing said 800 sqft but at check-in I immediately told owner's husband it was1/2 that size-he didn't respond & we never heard from owners during the stay or after-now the listing says 550 sqft (it's 400 sqft max even if you count the 2 closets). Owners live on the property, so I'd hoped it would be clean (especially in pandemic) since they don't rely on others to manage it, but there were items left behind by other guests (a prescription bottle dated May 2020 by the bed & silicone ear plugs by the dresser), large cobwebs & some dust bunnies (I have 2 homes listed on VRBO, so I know SOME cobwebs/dust are inevitable but if you're not seeing items left behind, you aren't dusting /cleaning under/around furniture & it made us feel uneasy during COVID.) The listing says kitchen is "fully stocked" -the few pots/pans are outdated (if I'd known, I would have brought my own) but functional & there are some spices/coffee/tea which was nice. The owners only give a landline # so you can't text them & messages through VRBO app weren't always answered timely. When arrive you discover there's no cell service for 3 of the major carriers & only 1-2 bars with Verizon, so may be why they don't text but it made it difficult to communicate with them after arriving, unless you go knock on their door but who wants to be a bother, especially during the holidays. They do have great WiFi, which was essential since my HotSpot/MiFi didn't work. At check-out, I left a note & the items we found from the prior guests but owners didn't reach out, which was disappointing. Also, the sofa is not "comfy" as listed-it's OK but it's the only cushioned furniture in the small kitchen/LR, except for 1 other chair (which IS very comfy). Also, unless you all want to watch TV in the bedroom on the small TV mounted to the bdrm wall, bring your own. We wanted to watch holiday movies while decorating the artificial tree we brought but you can't see the TV from the other room. BUT OVERALL we had a great holiday! The view of the snowy garden area from the front door is BEAUTIFUL & owners keep the spacious parking area/driveway cleared of snow-it's NOT a steep drive, so didn't need AWD, which was great! Owners were super nice to put my meal-kit-box that was delivered early in the fridge. And we LOVE how convenient it is to shops & restaurants. Just a few tweaks would make this place ideal for 1-2 people.

Our yearly pilgrimage to witness the fall foliage started in Brattleboro. From there we easily explored many beautiful parks and locations as far south as Springfield, MA and across the Connecticut River to NH. The colors were glorious, and the accommodations, for the two of us were just what we needed. And our dogs loved it too!

We really enjoyed our stay! The owners were very welcoming and helpful!
