This is my second time renting this property for the Green Mountain Stage Race, and overall, it’s a convenient spot, close to everything we need over Memorial Day Weekend. The positives: -Plenty of bedrooms to accommodate our group of teenagers and coaches. -Modest but functional kitchen with most essentials (the stove and oven work well, the fridge is spacious and clean, and the coffee maker gets the job done). -Large common area with comfortable seating for everyone to gather around the TV. The areas for improvement: -The downstairs bathroom toilet is in bad shape; the tank is loose and feels like it’s going to fall off. -The downstairs shower curtain really needs to be replaced—it’s in poor condition. -The kitchen could use a few more good-quality pans for cooking. -The house was very dusty, with cobwebs in multiple areas. We all felt the impact of the dust. If a cleaning fee is charged, the house should be spotless upon arrival. -While the location is nice, the driveway exit is hazardous due to cars speeding over a blind hill. Even following the recommendation to "listen" for cars didn’t help, as a Tesla came speeding over the hill on Sunday evening. I’ve rented several properties in the area and returned to this one for its convenience, but unless there are some updates, we may need to look elsewhere for 2025.

The home setting was as described. No issues with anything in the home. Only negative is the driveway is on a curve in the road that is travelled above the posted speed. The owner made us aware & we used caution entering/leaving. Very happy with our stay.

Great place to stay and great host!

Everything went smooth and host was very helpful. We were a big group but we managed to fit everyone.

This has to be the worst place we have ever stayed at. It says old farm charm . Not how I would describe it. The love seat in the living room was broken , covered with pillow la to hide the fact that it was broken, the house smelled like it had not been cleaned in years . The water pressure, was complete nonexistent. The beds upstairs and the floors were full of dead flies, the windows were full of cobwebs, the storm door in the front had half a panel the other half was missing , the ( patio ) and I use the term very loosely, was disgusting, dirty the door is broken with half crap piece of plywood to hold it together , a trash can lid full of cigarette butts . I have pictures of all of this . The front of the house ?? The picture that is posted is not the way it actually is . The weeds in front of the house ?. My dogs came home with fleas . I took pictures of everything. I expect at least half of what paid for to be reimbursed back to me .

It was the perfect location for us. We brought a group of teenagers to rave the Green Mountain Stage race. The house was perfectly situated 30min from the start of most stages. The kids loved the accommodations. It was rustic but charming and very well kept. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into how they manage everything for guests. We’ll be coming to this race annually and will be planning to stay here as long they’ll continue to have us.

Clean, spacious, gracious host. my family had a great experience at this country house and would stay again...

The Hancock house is old ... really old! But do not be fooled by battered siding under neatly painted exterior: this place has been lovingly restored with updates where it matters: fantastic old floorboards & exposed beams adjoin full bathrooms [2], efficient kitchen & laundry, many screened windows w/clever locks allowing them to be part open but still secured against intrusion [& you can hear the brook outside tumbling over the rocks]. Ample room for an active sociable group or families. Three bedrooms upstairs are private to sleep up to 11 depending on arrangements while downstairs offers two more bedrooms convenient for those that find stairs troublesome. Comfortable living room with tv lounging furniture, big diningroom table great to sit around & talk, kitchen table downstairs as well, mini-kitchen space repeated upstairs, not to mention a smaller entry parlor with another tv, a 4-season small patio and a beautiful back yard bordered by woodland. Furnace works quickly when needed, ample hot water, ample clean linens and china, working wifi [which you will need], clear guest house directions. Semi-cons: 40 minutes from Randolph Center where our event was [but close to Rochester which is a pretty little town]; parking max 4 cars w/careful space management; as warned VT Rte100 is fast travelled - driveway is invisible from both directions though "hidden drive" warnings are duly posted so care is needed exiting. Great host communication!
