This lovely cabin in the woods was perfect for our 5-day stay in Vermont. The pictures and descriptions on the listing are very accurate. The cabin was very clear and had all the amenities we needed. Loved the screened-in porch! The host even provided wood and fire starter for the fire pit, which we did not have a chance to use. Check-in was a breeze and the host was very responsive when we requested extending our stay. The location is perfect, being 10 minutes from both Waterbury and Waitsfield, with great restaurants (like the Blackback Pub and Gallus), farmers market, hiking/biking trails and shopping. We look forward to staying here many more times!

Great stay
I loved staying at this cabin! It was super clean and cozy. It’s in a beautiful area and it is very relaxing in quiet. There’s things to do all around being located right outside the town. The host is very nice and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

Solitary Bliss
Cabin was perfect for a quiet romantic get away. Close to hiking, shopping, and food. Cabin was small but had plenty of room for the two of us. Bed was comfortable and internet worked well. Overall a great stay.
