I will start by saying that the owner, Sandra, responds very quickly to messages, and she sent a reminder about the check-out process the day before we were scheduled to leave. The area is quiet, and served as a home base for our daily excursions within Vermont and upstate NY. Our 11 and 15 year old nieces especially enjoyed the Adventure Center at Killington (approx. 50 minutes away), The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory tour (approx. 1 hour 20 minutes away), and Lake George (approx. 45 minutes away). My husband's favorite was visiting the replica of the original Star Trek set in Ticonderoga, NY (approx. 45 minutes away). Taps Tavern in Poultney is so good, we ate dinner there twice. (Great wings, salads, pulled pork, and fried calamari.) We also enjoyed brunch at Johnny Boys Pancake House in Rutland (approx. 30 minutes away). The beds in the four upstairs bedrooms are surprisingly comfortable, and the downstairs is quite spacious. I am a meticulously clean person, and the house, while very tidy, didn't fully meet my standards of cleanliness. The owner was apologetic when I texted her about this. Our last two days were very hot, and only one of the bedrooms had a window air conditioner installed. The others had window fans that we installed. The ground floor rear windows have neither curtains nor blinds, nor do the windows at the top of the stairs, which made the house even hotter. We were advised that the upstairs toilet had weak plumbing, so the downstairs toilet was the designated "#2 toilet. " Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
