Wonderful place to stay!

Lovely home with beautiful landscaping and views of the surrounding hills. Very nicely decorated, comfortable. Location was rural but is a quick drive to attractions and into town. Gracious friendly hosts. Special place!

It was a pleasure to stay on Oliver & Gayles lovely property with a clean & comfortable accommodation.

Lovely property, beautiful gardens. Nice accomodations and living space. All was excellent, Oliver and Gayle are both fantastic. Would go back. Also very good food closer than I thought it would be. Didn't need to go back to Burlington. Good closer options. First time in Vermont and want to go back.

We were in town for a wedding and had the perfect stay at Olive's beautiful home. The grounds are so lush and lovely, making a tranquil respite during an otherwise busy weekend. Oliver was gracious and so friendly, but respected our privacy throughout our stay. I wish we had more time getting to know him. What a fascinating backstory his photos and artwork tell! We'll be back for sure.

Location was ideal for us as it was very close to family. Very peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed the time spent with Oliver & Gayle. We’d like to stay there again if we come back to visit family in future years.

The accommodations at the Gardner home were exceptional. Although we missed the peak summer season, it was apparent that the property is absolutely stunning when everything is in bloom. The views from the bedroom and sitting room were beautiful. Can’t say enough good things about Oliver and Gayle, our hosts. Both are very interesting people and wonderful conversationalists. They provided useful insights about the area and we got to know a little about them in our short stay. Oliver was also very accommodating to our needs. We will definitely return in the future.

The location and comfort level of this lovely 1-bedroom were sincerely wonderful, the views serene, and Oliver and Gayle were hospitable and charming, and kept they more than kept our attention with stories of their adventurous and fascinating lives. We've stayed many times over the years north of Burlington and in the city, but did not have much experience with towns to the south. There are many special spots to visit -- Oliver's advice was on the mark -- and hidden gems to find on your own. The Gardner's home is a special spot for anyone seeking some respite, access to natural beauty, interesting dining, and country roads that both inspire and calm. Oliver and Gayle are among the best ambassadors for why the VRBO model works so well. Thanks again Oliver and Gayle.

Where do I start? Upon entering the property, there is designated guest parking right outside the home. We were greeted by the ever-pleasant Oliver who gave us a breakdown of our accommodations and the local areas to visit. The home is extremely clean and comes with anything you’d need for a few wonderful nights. The property is expansive with beautiful grounds and a great view of Mt. Philo. Oliver provides a binder with ideas of places to go and to eat. Our stay was only a couple days, but we made the most of it. There is nothing more beautiful than catching the sunset from Mt. Philo. Don’t stop at the first overlook when you go, make sure to go to the end and walk the short trail to the last overlook so you can see Lake Champlain. There is also a guest-to-guest book with great experiences detailed by prior guests as well. Our only disappointment was that we didn’t get to spend more time at the property and learning about the amazing life that Oliver has lived. The stories he shared in our short visit really makes one want to experience life at its fullest. We plan on coming back, for a longer time, to learn more about the area and to visit longer with Oliver, a clear bastion of knowledge! See you soon Oliver!

Great location. Plenty to see and do around the area. Host has incredible stories and a true community experience. Felt like visiting friends instead of just being a guest

And a comfortable bed...

Very clean, beautiful views of the mountains and nice patio to relax on and look out to the landscaping. Also a pool table to play.

It was extremely quiet and serene. The grounds were beautiful and the space was lovely, large and homey. Fantastic experience!

Beautiful location with impeccable grounds. You will find a safe, comfortable and clean stay at this VRBO. Access to Mt. Philo is just down the road. Your host will take care of your needs.

Very nice accommodations. Enjoyed meeting and visiting with Oliver. Anticipate returning.

Owners are great hosts and knowledgeable. We enjoyed many conversations with them. The property has wonderful trees, flowers and country fence and many birds. Great time all the way around!

The neighborhood is beautiful and picturesque.

Stayed two nights at the Gardner Residence. We arranged this a bit last minute but Oliver and Gail were wonderful in taking care of us! We had plans in Burlington our only full day there, so didn't spend a great deal of time on site. Would recommend!

We had an exceptionally wonderful stay! The accommodations were lovely with a comfortable sitting room, spacious bedroom and well appointed bathroom. The gardens and property were beautiful and relaxing and the location is very convenient to attractions & Charlotte ferry. Oliver and Gayle are wonderful hosts. Oliver gave my husband great suggestions for running trails and we so enjoyed asking him about his sailing and life adventures. Meeting new people is one of the joys of traveling and Oliver made our stay a truly memorable experience! Highly recommend.

My son and his wife very much enjoyed their 5-day stay. It met all their needs. They appreciated host Oliver's friendliness and helpfulness.

This property was incredible. Beautiful peaceful area. The landscaping around the house was phenomenal. All the rooms were super clean and better looking than any hotel. The owner was super friendly and very accommodating. He also gave very good information about places to visit in the area. The price was also very reasonable. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

The property is immaculate and the location terrific for exploring surrounding areas. The interior space was sparkling clean with a comfortable bed, lovely bathroom with beautiful views throughout. The hosts are lovely and interesting. I will absolutely be back and highly recommended this stay❤️

The property was amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. Oliver was a great host.

We enjoyed our stay in the lovely home of Oliver and Gayle. The accommodations are comfortable and welcoming, and the landscape and gardens are beautiful! A fantastic region of Vermont to explore. We already look forward to our return.

Great country setting, gracious hosts and a beautiful area to explore. Could not ask for more!

This property suited our 3 night stay for exploring the Burlington area. A short drive away from hiking, biking, scenic views, good food, and general scouting around. The hosts were friendly, interesting, welcoming, and engaging. The private porch and side patio were relaxing. The house was clean - actually spotless. We would definitely stay here again on the next visit to the area.

Between the hosts, the beautiful gardens and home we shared for our vacation back east ~ this rental exceeded all of our expectations. The location is perfect for touring the area for the major sites and historic towns. Our two day stay was far too short a time to spend at this home away from home! We will be back for a longer stay in our favorite spot @ the Garden Inn! Oliver ~ Keep an eye out for our next request! I look forward to sitting out on the porch and enjoying your bit of paradise! Susan

The Gardners were very hospitable and friendly. The space allotted to us was very clean and spacious. The grounds are maintained very well and have beautiful views of nearby mountain ranges. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our gracious hosts thank you again.

The property was lovely. A tranquil location for the perfect getaway. The owner was kind and very personable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gardner. Oliver is such a gracious host and the grounds and scenery are absolutely stunning.
