I always give an honest review for guests and owners to consider. Location - 10 Outside amenities 7 a) Grandchildren were disappointed that the 'treehouse' wasn't accessible b) Chairs on island are broken c) Walkway to island starting to rot & leans d) Although the screened in porch is nice, we couldn't find a way to turn on lights (except the ones activated by motion sensor). A couple of the chairs around the table had worn seats & we didn't want to sit, fearing they might tear. Not sure if the outdoor toys, etc, were meant for guests. If they are, they are pretty much in disarray. Interior - 5 a) Not giving a negative on the size, as we were aware of the square footage, but it is very tight for 8 people, in the living areas. b) Utensils were very limited. I.E. only a large, slotted spoon; none to use to ladle out sauce (had to use a cup), tongs broken. c) Cutting knives dull, making it difficult to cut meat. d) Usually, the rentals we stay have a supply of cleaners, so we can clean counter tops, etc. Had to use water and paper towels. e) The baseboard in the kitchen had a piece of bent metal, that by granddaughter cut her leg upon. I covered w/ duct tape f) The size of the kitchen table makes it difficult to navigate around. g) The living room is very dark, & the furniture definitely needs to be updated. h) Dumpster was full when arrived. Had to keep trash in laundry until after Tue. pick up. i) Window ACs, 1 BD without Overall - 6 out of 10

Beautiful property, although the pond is a bit mucky, and the flies were everywhere, we did have a good time.

Very nice property.Everyone enjoyed relaxing by the pond and the deck is wonderful for the views and dining.The only downfall was the lack of recycling bins.Everything had to go to the trash dumpster.Vermont has had mandatory recycling for years.

Impressed right from the drive up the mountain and seeing the property and house. We’ve stayed here a few times now and we will stay again.

Rented this place for a couple nights for a group writing retreat; we all had good space for getting our work done. The place might be a little rough around the edges depending on what you’re looking for (could use some more screens in windows and doors, much of the lighting is too bright and harsh at night, at least one of the AC units made an entire room smell a little moldy—all things you could expect in an older vacation rental like this, though always the kinds of details that I hope an owner might have considered more…) Overall though, it was a solid place and the owner was responsive and very gracious with some special requests.

Tom gave us an excellent place to lay our heads and share stories over the big kitchen table. This weekend was for rememberence if a lost loved one, and it felt like we stayed in the perfect spot to do so.

Loved our stay! The house was well laid out with beautiful views. Great for kids.

Absolutely wonderful place, very quiet and private. We certainly enjoyed our visit, thank you for sharing.
