I stayed at Emil's property for two months while transitioning to Vermont. The house has everything you'll need for your stay, short or long! I was there for Sept and Oct and would recommend visiting during the fall to watch the leaves change...and on cool nights light a fire and relax.

Once again, a wonderful experience vacationing in Wilmington VT. We walked into a prestine and clean environment as expected seeing as we've stayed at Emil's cabin 3 times prior to this stay. With the amenities of a hotel yet a very cozy feel to it, this home never disappoints. My family and I try to go at least once a year. Winter, fall, spring, or summer, this location is perfect. My 14 yr old daughter and 16 yr old son always have the best time. From having breakfast at Dot’s diner, to exploring Harriman Reservoir, zip lining, horseback riding or skiing, we never run out of things to do. The best part is that everything is such a quick drive to get to! Also the cooperative club house in Chimney Hill has an outdoor pool and sundeck (spring / summer) and an indoor heated pool and hot tub (year round) game room and gym. The kids are always on the go! I’ve never seen my children sleep so sound! While they keep busy, I’m even able to get some work done remotely so I can stay up to date with work emails, zoom meetings etc. I highly recommend this property; whether you’re looking for a relaxing couples getaway or a fun filled adventure with friends and/or family, this is the place to go! Emil, thank you for always being so responsive and for the upkeep of the house to ensure every guest has the best possible stay. We’ll be back.

Nice location quiet with deck in peaceful wooded setting. Upstairs of house very nice, fully equipped kitchen which was great for us as we were 4 ) 2 adults and 2 teens) eating most meals in. Bedrooms are Downstairs considerably cooler which was nice as it was quiet muggy our first week. However simple and small rooms, not as nice as upstairs but fine for our needs. I would suggest using a dehumidifier for lower level on hot summer days. Nice location 10 minutes from Wilmington which is a very pretty town. Locals very friendly and helpful definitely a nice escape from Boston area. Lots of great trails near Chimney Hill and Wilmington. Long walks every morning with our happy dog! Plenty of restaurants and bars, 30 minutes to Bennington and around 45 to Brattleboro. Great for kids and adults and kids looking for relaxing get away, not necessarily for teens unless they enjoy hiking…

This is our second time at Emil's house. We really enjoyed staying again. We would recommend it to anyone. You'll find everything you need in the house and the location is great. Emil is always fast to respond. We would definitely come back :)

From the moment I booked my stay here, and this was not my first stay at this beautiful home, Emil (host) was in contact with us shortly after our booking. He sent a very friendly and welcoming message. His communication throughout my stay was impressive; making sure we were ok and happy with our accommodations. The home was spotless upon arrival. The rooms were so comfortable and common areas were top notch. I remember the first time I stayed at this house, I was personally happy to find COFFEE along with other teas, snacks etc!!!!! I had to work remotely for some of my stay as I have in the past, and I was surprised at how strong the internet was considering our location. To say we had a very home-like experience would be an understatement. The only complaint we could come up with was driving at night from a lit city to dark roads, which was quite an adventure! But who doesn't love an adventure?! Thank you Emil once again for an amazing experience. We will definitely return!!!!

Wonderful place with everything you could need and then some! Plus, the host was fantastic and worked with us when our situation changed. We highly recommend this property if you want a relaxing and fun get away!

The place is very comfortable, extremely well equipped, with thoughtful touches everywhere. Best equipped kitchen I've ever seen at a VRBO rental. Emil is very attentive and helpful. Stayed for a full month and had a wonderful time

The house was perfect for our group of 6. It was very clean, nicely furnished, a well stocked kitchen, and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. Although there was an unusual amount of rain for July, keeping us indoors, there was plenty of space for everyone. We also appreciate how easy it was to work with the owner who was always available. Hope to get back next summer!

We have nothing but good things to say about our experience. The house was very clean, comfortable and well furnished. The owner thought about every detail to make our stay the best. He left tennis balls and rackets for us to play at the court right next door, left a great amount of different basic need items (spices, sugar, soaps, sponges, ziploc bags etc..). There are multiple board games, a room that opens up to an enclosed yard and the best hiking just nearby. Wilmington is a charming little town definitely worth visiting with a convenient supermarket. As you may guess, the owner is a gracious, reliable and friendly person. We all had a great time. We felt so lucky we found this place.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The house was amazing and the owner was super helpful to help us with any problems that we had. Definitely will be staying here again!

This is the best VRBO house I have rented. Emil was accessible for questions and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked for cooking. The location is close to Wilmington (5 min) for shopping and restaurants but also close to Mt. Snow (10-25 min), which made house perfect for our ski weekend. We look forward to staying here again!

This home did not disappoint. We came for a quick ski trip with another family. The house was clean and fully stocked. Emil was super responsive. The home is in the chimney hill community so after getting several inches of snow and being nervous about making it back after an amazing day at Mt. Snow, the roads were plowed and sanded. All in all great trip and we hope to book again!

My partner and I stayed at Emil's home for a month while working remotely. Emil was an exceptionally gracious, communicative host and was easily reached by text or call. The home is very clean and comfortable for an extended stay and has a fully outfitted kitchen. We spent the holidays there and were thrilled to find all the pans, cookware, etc. we needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The home itself is very cozy with a wood-burning stove and lots of windows looking out to tree-lined views. The area is beautiful and it's a five minute drive to Wilmington's very charming Main Street. A helpful note for those entering Vermont and needing to quarantine—the home is within the Instacart delivery range from the Shaw's in town, so you can easily quarantine and have groceries delivered directly to your door. We had a wonderful stay!

Absolutely beautiful area in Wilmington Vermont. And the cabin was very cozy and welcoming. Would absolutely stay again without any questions. We went during fall to see the leaves change and get away from the city.

My husband and I spent the month of August at Emil and Jennifer's fabulous cabin a mile from the trailhead to the summit of Haystack Mountain. (We made it halfway.) Our grandson joined us for a 14-day quarantine until we could take him back for his senior year at UVM. We climbed Mt. Olga (15 minutes away), including the firetower at the summit. Our dog ran up the mountain and waited for us at the top. We also went to the beach at the beautiful resevoir, a one-hour hike from the center of Wilmington which is ten minutes from the cabin). Wilmington is lovely--nice shops, good food, great bookstore, Bartlesby's. When we were actually IN the cabin, we were happy to be in such a cheerful and beautiful yet casually decorated home close by a serene little pond. Everything you need is there! One evening, a two-year old, glossy, black female bear ambled by in the woods just beyond the kitchen window. She gave us about two minutes to aim our cell phones and take a zillion shots before she slipped off through the trees. Every day, we walked one of the nearby trails through the woods, enjoying the white birches brought to life by the poet Robert Frost who said that sometimes life is too much like a pathless wood. We enjoyed the paths he encouraged us to find. The one detail that someone might have a problem with is the sound of cars that sometimes come along on a nearby road. We were okay with that.

I couldn’t recommend this house any more highly. It’s perfect. The fenced in backyard is great if you have pets. The location is right near the water. The house is spacious and clean. Wonderful stay.

Had a nice time at the cabin this past week with 2 dogs - the Wilmington area has lots to offer for hikes and lake activities in the summer. Emil was a great host and easy to correspond with and the cabin was very clean and well stocked. There is a great deck, deck furniture, grill, and fenced area for the dogs outside. The cabin stayed very cool and has a great ceiling fan in the main room.

We had a great time in the cabin and our host was very helpful over the phone and in messages. Plenty if space for us two and our large dog. Nice and near to Mount Snow and Stratton and the village of Wilmington. Good kitchen and supplies. Lovely fireplace

This house is perfect for a getaway to Vermont. The location is excellent for access to Mount Snow which is about 15 minutes away. The house is super cozy with a perfect layout for a small gathering. We visited as two families with 4 kids under 9 and the bedrooms and living space were perfect for our group. Kitchen was excellent and the fireplace and TV were the perfect end to a day on the slopes. I encourage anyone to book this property if you are looking to stay in the area.
