Pondhouse was open for us and ready to enjoy when we arrived. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, silverware, appliances, and kitchen utensils. We greatly appreciated the provision of bins for trash, recycling, and composting. You can eat at the kitchen island or on the very nice dining table. Napkins and table mats were also provided. Lighting is excellent for both. Bathroom was large and bright with a very nice glass shower stall. Soaps and shampoos were available as well as towels and floor mats.Bed was large and comfortable. Pondhouse is VERY quiet both day and night. Heating and cooling are very effective and add only a bit of noise, as do the 2 large ceiling fans.Bluetooth speaker was excellent quality and came in handy both inside and out. TV is smallish but that's not what we came to Vermont to see! But it had a very good selection of free streaming services, including Sling and Amazon Prime.All in all, Pondhouse was a perfect place to spend several days in the beautiful hills of Vermont!
