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!

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!

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.
