Spacious house in Vermont with easy access.

We had an amazing stay with our kids. The house was spacious and conveniently located on VT-125. There were plenty of family friendly hiking options nearby (Texas Falls, Robert Frost Trail) and the kids had fun in the game room and hot tub. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely Stay

We had a wonderful and memorable time staying at this house. It was spacious, well equipped for a family, and most importantly extremely clean. The location was a good balance of being remote and also close enough to all of the activities we wanted to do. Kris and Ben were wonderful hosts and very gracious - the farm tour was a highlight of the trip!

The house is incredible! A handful of friends and I had a wonderful ski weekend and loved coming back to soak in the hot tub and play games in the cozy living room. It’s very spacious and beds are incredibly comfortable.

A Wonderful, Unique House!

I highly recommend staying at this unique house. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and having an enclosed back yard was particularly helpful with our toddler son. There was a lot for us to explore inside, and our kids had a great time during a snowy day finding the hidden room. Lots of great hikes within a short drive of the location. Especially if you have a family with small children, this was a great stay to "get out of the city" for a while.

Check-in was easy and the house was all set up and dialed in for a hot day. AC was on and fans were set up. They even left really cute cookies!!!The coffee maker was AWESOME and there were 2 refrigerators which was so luxurious. Hot tub was really nice and clean and perfect temp. Everyone had a ton of fun and loved the uniqueness of the lodge. My calves are sore from going up and down the stairs so many times.Great memories were made and we want to come back!!!

Spacious and comfortable home

Convenient to Middlebury, we brought family and Godparents together to celebrate our daughter graduating from Middlebury College. The house is comfortable and spacious. Large, well-equipped kitchen. Hosts were great -- very responsive, helpful, and clear communication. This was a great find -- highly recommend.

Great VT Getaway for All Seasons

My family highly enjoyed their stay at this property during late Nov time frame. Very comfortable house, lots of room and most excellent game room. Easy check in. Many trails n waterfalls nearby, good restaurants nearby in Middlebury. My only regret is I didn’t use the hot tub this trip. Next time! I recommend property to anyone.

A Magical Holiday Escape!!

What an amazing home nestled in Green Mountain State Park!!! It truly feels like you are staying in your own private ski lodge. The house is beautiful with everything you would need for a perfect getaway with family and friends or even a business team getaway. We arrived 2 days after Christmas, to find the house beautifully decorated. It is apparent that the owners, Kris & Jane, take pride in their house and want to ensure that their guests have a memorable time!!

Quiet Time.

The house is HUGE! It is very cool with so many areas to get away from each other or areas to gather and enjoy card games, pool games or just some time outside. The hosts are excellent. On our stay the Internet was knocked out, probably a storm, and the host even showed up to coordinate with the internet company and get us WiFi again, which we needed for our jobs. What a great place and great host.

Amazing Getaway

The lodge is a phenomenal property for families or friends, especially with dogs. The fenced in back yard is perfect, the house is enormous, spacious and well designed. There is good kitchen equipment (pots, pans, blender, and two grills). The owners are responsive and attentive when needed. The house is centrally located and close to great hiking spots, some small towns and shops, and across the street there is a gorgeous river worth exploring. Don’t forget to make time to star gaze and soak in the hot tub!

Family Vacation

Great location, with near-by fishing, hiking, swimming in beautiful Green Mts. Plenty of room for our family of 12. Ideal for our 1 y r. old, providing crib, changing table, booster seat, and toys. Main floor mostly accessible for family member's power chair. Recommend bringing portable wheelchair too. Upstairs bedrooms have no doors, so minimal privacy. Big Kitchen and lovely patio.

Big house in beautiful Vermont

Our family had a lovely stay. The house is big and the space allows for everyone to engage in their favorite activity without affecting other guests. We had at all times someone playing pool, while others were reading on the comfy couch and/or out for hikes. The fenced backyard is great for dogs that can be left outside without concerns. A couple of minor comments: the house is very close to the road, with some traffic noise. Lastly, the master bedroom, while beautiful and big, does not have full walls ( one must see it to understand!), therefore it lacks some privacy.

Wonderful home in Ripton

This is truly a property that keeps on giving. We stayed in the summer, when the hiking and outdoors are great. Our dogs loved the fenced in backyard, and the location in Ripton is stupendous. Their are well-known trails throughout the National Forest, and a couple of lesser known trails within walking distance (we see you SPirit In Nature!). The house itself is very comfortable. The kitchen is built to support a large group (two fridges!) and there are many nooks to explore and hide out. Everything was clean. The Game Room? Don't get me started. Fun for all ages.
