Outstanding!

My husband and I just returned from a week at Cate Hill Cottage, it was outstanding! Amy is an exceptional hostess, with great dining and ski route suggestions! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful vacation! My ski pole broke, and she immediately loaned me a choice of two sets of poles! The local chefs she recommended were amazing, one even delivered dinner to our door! The cottage is charming and had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is so much space to relax and even work! My husband used the excellent wifi to do a little work between ski outings. The couch is so comfortable for reading a book. The mattress is extremely comfortable, I loved the pillow top. The location between Craftsbury Outdoor Center and the Highland Lodge trail system is perfect. It is also possible to ski from the door, if you don’t mind a little bushwhacking! Amy explained exactly where to go, so it’s not difficult to ski to the trail. We will return next year, and I am already counting the days! Thank you Amy for a great vacation!

Local Family Wedding

We stayed at this property for 3 nights for a local family wedding and had a great experience. Description and pictures were very accurate and this may be the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever rented. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again. Highly recommend!

How I spent my fall vacation

This property was located centrally to areas we decided to visit. The countryside in the NEK is some of the prettiest in VT. The foliage was peak and then gone during our week there. House was very comfortable and our hostess made sure we were able to enjoy our stay.

A Big Disappointment

We would not stay at this property again. The second bathroom upstairs was not practical at all, unless you are 3' tall! You could not stand up and use the sink to brush your teeth or wash up. It did not have a shower only a bathtub, which again, you would not be able to stand up in it. The toilet was sooooo low, it felt like you were almost on the ground, in both bathrooms. The tub/shower in the downstairs bathroom was just a little bit better because you could shower, but if you weren't real careful with the curtain it could get the floor all wet. There was an old soap left, the bottom of the tub looked not very clean. There was NO counter space or anywhere to put toiletries, not enough hooks. The table and chairs were a mix and match, the fireplace was nice but the tv was upstairs and would have been much better to be downstairs. The 2 bedrooms were fine but not sure how 10 people could stay here! The grass should have been cut, in other words there was not much effort put into the VRBO to make it very welcoming.

Our stay was most pleasant. All parts of a family gathering were in place. We had all we needed for ingredients including 16 inches of fresh snow to ski in, and, lots of terrain to enjoy! Happy times and a wonderful weekend!

Spacious and unique!

This comfortable and unique home was perfect for us to gather with a few family members who live in the area. We are excited to keep this property as a favorite to return with more family and gather and stay at the spacious and clean home. Amy is the perfect host! So comforting to have seamless check in and check out. The quick communication from booking to last day was remarkable and appreciated. Great area for exploring in summer and winter OR just relaxing, as we did, in mid November to see the snow fall-- quiet and peaceful.

Craftsbury stay

We 4 friends had a great winter get away in this cozy home. Plenty of room to spread out & adequate appointments. The water was delicious right out of the tap & strong and hot for showering. This may be addressed by the owner by now, but we found the microwave didn't work, nor did the lower oven. The heat in the upper oven was a bit wonky, so just be aware if you use it for something sensitive. Good mattresses, good linens/towels. The house was not as clean as I would've liked.... But that took me a quick half hour to rectify when we arrived. Sort of a problem, but sort of not, was 0 cell phone/text service for us (anywhere in Craftsbury). Wifi was great in the house. Only10 mins from the Outdoor Center and beautiful snow & skiing. We love this cool, out of the way feeling area of VT and will definitely come back again.

Craftsbury Ski Weekend

The cottage appears to be a renovated barn, with exposed beams and knotty pine interior. The open floor plan is cozy and warm. The location is perfect for skiing at Craftsbury Outdoor Center. It is surrounded by farms but still near small quaint villages.

Rustic cabin, good for families or close friends

Amy was very responsive in all our communication, and quickly helped us resolve a small issue with the heater. The place is rustic, perhaps spare, but pleasant and well heated, and it met all of our needs. The open floor plan allowed those cooking to be part of whatever else was going on. There is plenty of space in the main area for a group. We sat around the propane stove in the evening, nice. We would rent it again.

Perfect getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was very spacious, comfortable, well appointed and CLEAN! Yes, you're kind of in the middle of nowhere, but there are a few really good general stores close by. We were here for Circus Smirkus, and it's quite convenient to both Camp and headquarters. Thank you for hosting us Amy!
