A pleasant stay at a charming cottage

The cottage was lovely with a fireplace and well stocked kitchen. The bathrooms were very clean with plenty of towels. There was a nice dining room and a living room with plenty of comfortable places to sit to read or watch TV. It was on a quiet street along side the Battenkill River. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice getaway!

We had a great stay at this home. We built a fire while relaxing in the living room. The kitchen has all you’d need. We cooked dinner and also went out to nearby Arlington restaurants as well as Manchester. Great location by ski mountains as well which allowed us to get some days in as well.

This cozy cottage is a true Vermont location with amazing river & mountain views. My daughter said she loved the vibe, it made her feel so comfortable as soon as she walked in. Also, the fresh cinnamon rolls on the dining room table upon our arrival was a fabulous touch.

Quaint cottage, great location

Stayed here for an event in Arlington. The house was super convenient and only a few minutes drive to Arlington. The view of the river from the house was peaceful. The cottage was quiet and clean. For fly fishing, it was great to stay on the banks of the Batten Kill and it was an easy drive to other streams in the area too.

An idyllic VT experience

I stayed here with my daughter and mother. Everyone had a lovely time - the house is perfectly situated with a gorgeous view from every corner. We had everything we could possibly need, playing games, prepping dinner, the cozy fireplace and walks along the river. Sarah and Brett are wonderful hosts, extremely responsive. Can’t wait to come back and spend more time exploring the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Folks, this is Vermont. The house is historic, rustic, quaint and comfortable, with a great fire place. The kitchen has everything you'll need to make a full meal or a late night snack. The Battenkill river is right across the street (no really, it is right across the street). Views of the majestic mountain range and absolute silence at night are exactly what we needed to escape, well, life. Arlington is a quick 5 minute drive and then for another 10 mins you're enjoying all that Manchester has to offer. We relaxed and the kids skied Killington, Straton and Okemo. If you're looking for the Ritz, this is not the place for you, but then again if that's your vibe, you're probably in the wrong state altogether. Book, pack 'n go!

Just like grandma's

We usually stay at my grandma's house, but with family in town for our reunion her house was full and we needed a place to stay. This house was perfect: clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. My husband and boys loved fishing and swimming in the river right out the front door, and I enjoyed the quiet and beautiful surroundings. The nearby country store was friendly and convenient. Sarah answered all of our questions promptly and check-in was easy. We loved everything about our stay.

QUINTESSENTIAL VERMONT STAY

Beautiful property and home set away off the beaten track but easy to ghetto to. The owner’s attention to detail in keeping with the historical antiquity of the home was delightful. We very much enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable beds. Grounds well kept and lovely. And situated by the Battenkill River as we watched fly fishermen casting for trout was like looking at a Norman Rockwell painting. Host was most gracious and replied to our inquiries promptly. five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
