The sweetest little getaway
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay in this sweet little getaway. The studio is cozy and nestled away in a quiet small town. Laurie gave us lots of recommendations for the area which were close & accessible (cafes, restaurants, museums, hikes/walks). I would highly recommend checking out the Dollhouse Museum in Bennington which is about 15 minutes away. It’s one of a kind! Thank you so much!

Cozy stay, beds were extra comfy.
Had a great stay. It was pretty easy to get up to the guest room and there were lots of helpful furnishings and suggestions. The person who slept on the fold-out bed was surprised how comfortable it was.

Laurie has thought of everything you may need for your stay. place was clean and well decorated, bed was awesome, kitchen supplies were good and the outdoor area was perfect. We would stay there again anytime we are in the area. Vermont is a beautiful part of the world that everyone should experience at least once kelly

Travelled with group
While the property was nice, the long drive up to the house wasn't salted or plowed so we were unable to reach the destination for our first night. There was no prior warning that the road to get to the house was dirt and couldn't even accommodate a 4-wheel drive in the snow. We had to book a hotel at the last minute and were refused a refund from both the host and Vrbo. Would not recommend.
