Laurie was an excellent host! The nest was so cozy and comfortable. The kitchen area was very well stocked and the sleep number bed was dreamy. This location was ideal for everything our family wanted to do - ski Stratton, shop Manchester and antiquing in Bennington. I even planned for a massage in Laurie’s studio 12/10!

Everything was a breeze: booking, communicating, checking in/out. Our stay was wonderful but too short! We will come back and stay longer. The bed was so comfortable. We slept so well. I’ve never felt so instantly at home before. Every little touch felt special. The decor was absolutely my taste. The cleanliness superb! Robert Frost’s Cottage and The Blue Benn Diner within minutes were nice too. Thank you Laurie!

This is a cozy apartment located in a quiet neighborhood on a lightly traveled road in Southern Vermont managed by a very friendly proprietor. Residences in the area are far apart and several working farms are nearby. Convenient to both Bennington and North Bennington, it was an ideal location for the post wedding party we attended over a week-end stay. The kitchenette is well equipped for a more extended stay. There are multiple outdoor features available to guests to enjoy the country air, read a book or sit by a fire. It was a great retreat for us after two days of partying and we would be happy to return.

2 weeks in snow country

I arrived amidst freezing outdoor temperatures to a warm and cozy interior. I was visiting family and was concerned about snow and ice, Laurie had assured me that it would not be a problem and she was right. The unit was exactly as described in the ad. Laurie made sure that the snow was shoveled and I had no problems getting out in the morning! A wonderful, peaceful getaway!

Vermont ski trip

We absolutely loved this stay. The space was gorgeous and cozy. Fully equipped kitchen we were able to cook dinner in. The location about 45 minutes from Stratton where we skied, but was well worth the drive. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks again Laurie!

A lovely stay in autumn . . .

We stayed for two days in late October. Putting the address into Google Maps took us right to the driveway. The weather was marvelous; no snow, warm days, and pleasant evenings. You might call it a barn loft, but it was built new; it doesn't appear that it was ever used as a barn. The lower level is a spa for visiting customers. We did not sign up for any spa services. The loft was very clean, and filled with charming decor. It was, as Realtors say, "cozy," but we knew that from the description and photos. Upon entering the loft, we were welcomed by fresh flowers, complimentary chocolates, and Vermont maple syrup. It was a space skillfully designed and decorated with much warmth and care. The kitchen was well-supplied, the bed was comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and wash cloths. Laurie gave us recommendations on things to do and see, and places to eat. There was a stack of maps and brochures on Vermont sights, and a basket full of kid's games and books. We didn't watch t.v., but the Internet worked perfectly. One of the nicest parts of the visit was when we took the two lawn chairs out onto the lawn and relaxed in the shade of the trees, with the sun at our backs. Being dog-people, we would have liked to have had more contact with the dogs. "Molly" was very shy and didn't want to come near us, and the other one must have been in the house. There's a wide-open area to the north, and we didn't see the aurora borealis.

cozy, beautifully appointed spot in lovely Vermont countryside

Laurie's place is great, and she was wonderful--communicative, welcoming. The studio itself is terrific. Super cozy, wonderful bed (like, really wonderful), really perfect. I was on a James Turrell pilgrimage and had two reservations for his installations at MASS Moca, a 45 minute drive from the studio. I would very much love to come back and go hiking and spend more time. I highly recommend it!
