Great location, check in was easy, loved the cabin feel. Overall had a great experience and house and loft met our needs. House and loft could have been cleaner (vacuum corners and under chairs/furniture), some minor maintence batteries in remotes and light bulbs needed attention and kitchen needed a deep cleaning due to ants but overall had another yearky trip to Vermont!
