Liked: Cleanliness
Absolutely stunning home on a bluff overlooking Lake Fairlee in tranquil, beautiful Vermont. Well-equipped kitchen, ample room for 10 family members with comfortable, beautifully-furnished and decorated common rooms that provide space for smaller groups and quiet conversation. A rec room on the lower level was popular with the youngsters. Robust internet.
Morning on the lake.
Relax!!
Just after sunset.

Beautiful, peaceful place with everything we hoped for

The perfect place for a family reunion. Beautiful house, amazing grounds, and wonderful lake fun for adults and little ones alike. Plenty of room for all 10 of us, ages 2 months to 77 years. We ate on the screened porch each night and watched the colorful balloon lift off over the lake and drift away in the breeze. The 3-5-year-olds loved the swimming, kayaking, and fishing, as well as biking on the quiet road. The more adventurous biked all the way around the lake. Everything worked . . . well, except the blender, but that might have been our failure. Oh how we wish we could do it every year. Maybe we will!
