Very charming, cozy, private home

We had a great stay at this charming home. The property was nice and private and had everything we needed. There was more than enough room for the both of us and our 2 dogs. Mike was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We went to both Okemo and Killington during our stay, just a short drive. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation and will definitely be back!

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our time here. The house really does have everything you need. While the house is warm and cozy, I think we spent most of our time relaxing in the beautiful back yard. It was awesome watching the butterflies and hummingbirds. The bed was comfortable and it was great having the extra bathroom upstairs. We would definitely love to come back when its colder to take advantage of the cool game room and the fireplace in the living room

Wonderful Stay

Went for a long weekend w/ another couple and had a great relaxing weekend. The house is warm and cozy w/ everything you need to stay and many restaurants close by. Loved The Country Girl Diner for Breakfast. Took a 20 minute ride to Okemo. No skiing yet and we're not skiers anyway, but the ride was beautiful for sight seeing. We basically stayed in by a warm fire, watched some football and played some Jenga (that was there). We found the beds very comfortable and slept great. I would highly recommend this cozy little get away to anyone.

Wonderful Home

We stayed at the home for a week and it was wonderful. The owners made sure that everything was there for us to use--and I mean everything. They thought of the smallest things that made our stay so easy.They kept us informed about an internet outage and when the repair man was coming for a problem. I can't say enough about the care they put into this home and its renters. Thank you , Mike

Cozy and peaceful in the woods

My husband, two pups and I really enjoyed the peace and comfort of the VT Haus in Andover. We loved the beautiful garden and settled in quickly to this well stocked and appointed home. While we were there, we had a great time exploring the nearby towns of Chester, Ludlow, Manchester and Grafton. It’s a quick jump to a number of beautiful trails and parks. And the people in the community are so friendly and neighborly. We both work full time remote and had no trouble at all doing so with the strong Wi-Fi. Thanks to Mike for being such a communicative and thoughtful host during our stay!

Wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable week rental

My family and I had an amazing week at this gorgeous Vermont home. The house was extremely well kept with a charm you have to see to believe. This place was turn key ready. It really has the true feeling of a mountain escape. The kids spent most of the time at the river across the street while my wife and I enjoyed the portch and a few cocktails. We took a ride to okemo mtn to play frisbee golf and had luck around the corner at the long trail brewery. Thanks Mikey for being so accommodating! We are looking forward to our trip next year!

Awesome home away from home

This house was amazing, it felt just like home. Fully stocked with anything you would need from food and beverage to toiletries. Beds were comfy cozy and everything was clean and well taken care of. Perfect for just getting away from every day life and relaxing. The location was perfect as well. Far enough away to feel private and secluded yet close enough to a very cute and quaint little town if wanting a bite to eat or for a nice walk. And the booking process was a breeze. The owner was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the surrounding towns and tourist attractions. Overall this was one of the best getaways I have ever experienced. I look forward to renting this place again in the near future!!!!!!!

Cozy, perfect getaway in the mountains.

This house is incredibly centrally located among a plethora of ski areas. Magic Mountain, Stratton, Bromley, Okemo and Killington are all a short drive away. The property is very scenic, quiet and private with beautiful woods and a stream surrounding the home. The rec room and stockpile of wood for the wood burning stoves and fireplace are a huge added bonus. Mike the owner is incredibly responsive and we felt welcome in the home from the moment we arrive. We would not have changed a thing! Our family would highly recommend renting this property and we hope to make our visit an annual tradition. Thanks again for a memorable Christmas in 2015!

Fantastic stay in Vermont

We stayed for a wonderful month during May while spring was arriving in Vermont. The backyard is excellent, and we spent a ton of time hanging out there listening to birds and enjoying all the trees and flowers. Our dog loved watching all the chipmunks running around, and we enjoyed walking up the road with him alongside the creek for short morning/evening trots. We ended up setting up a little extra fence for him near the driveway so he wouldn't go near the road because the cars can move a little fast on the road out front. There are a variety of hiking trails and kayaking nearby -- several options within a 20-30 minute drive. We particularly loved going to Lowell Lake State Park and recommend it highly! Most of the towns nearby are pretty quiet and rural, so it's a good stay for people who are looking to disconnect and do outdoor activities. The house itself is very well equipped with everything you need to have a super comfortable stay. There are tons of towels, extra blankets to be cozy, a super well-stocked kitchen, lots of beds and pillows, cleaning supplies, plenty of wood for the firepit/fireplace, etc. You really don't have to think about anything once you arrive -- Mike has already figured it out and made it easy for you! The furniture is all comfortable, and we loved the big dining table, outdoor adirondack chairs, and especially the game room. It's awesome to have a little space separate from the main house to hang out -- with darts, bumper pool, its own fireplace and plenty of room to stretch out. Loved that bonus room! The host, Mike, is super friendly and engaged -- ready to provide advice and help out with any issues that come up. He was extremely fast to provide support and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful Vermont vacation

We stayed at the Vermont Haus from 8/1-9/17. It was a wonderful respite for us. The house is beautiful when you pull in the driveway and makes you feel good right away. The owner was there when we arrived and graciously helped with our luggage , which was a big help for us. Anything you needed was in the house if you forgot something you will probably find it there. The inside of the house is loaded with charm. From the rustic living room right up the stairs to the bedrooms. There is room for several people to stay there. Outside on the back patio is a brand new grill and furniture right in front of a beautiful garden. The grounds were filled with gardens. Way out back was a large a large firepit with chairs for everyone. One of the nicest parts of staying there was the availability of the owner to us. He was always just a text away. He always got right back to us. If he couldn't explain the problem via text he would call me. He was so patient with us old folks and helped us through the few problems we had. If you're looking for a quiet getaway the Vermont Haus is for you. There are many things in the area to explore and good food to be found in nearby towns. If you're in Chester check out Mcloughmans Scottish pub. All in all this was a wonderful vacation experience for us and we highly recommend it. If possible we would like to come back again someday.

Great getaway spot

I love staying here. The house is in the perfect location. This is my second time staying here and I'm already looking forward to our 3rd trip.The owner Michael makes it easy to have quick contact with him. He answers all your questions and is extremely helpful. The house is spacious and has a complete kitchen. The home has everything and anything you could possibly need on any trip. We went during the heatwave and Michael was very considerate and put in extra air conditioners and fans for us to be comfortable during our stay. The beds are comfortable and he has alot if you have a big family. The house is adorable and spacious. Michael has alot to offer in the house so if you forget something dont stress he probably has it.Dont think you will miss your favorite shows because you are away because he has satellite TV and Netflix. This house is very clean and well maintained. The flower garden is gorgeous. There is a fire pit and grill for your use. We will definitely be back.
