weekend in vermont

"A little piece of heaven" and "Cleanliness is next to godliness. " would best describe this "home away from home" in Quechee, VT.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your clean and most comfortable home. Your hospitality was greatly appreciated. We found your letter to be very helpful as it acclimated us to your house and to the Quechee and surrounding areas.
Our "get-away" included lunch at Firestone's, massages at The Strong House, checking out the glass blowing and shopping at Simon Pearce, dinner at the Parker House Inn, a visit to the Fool-On-The-Hill, driving through the Dartmouth College campus, taking photos at The Quechee Gorge, shopping at The Fat Hat, lunching at Simon Pearce, shopping and lunching in Woodstock at The Woodstock Inn, along with venturing out to Orchard Fox Farms in Thetford, NH to check out golden retriever puppies and their "relatives". (We had previously "met" the puppies' "father" at the Fool-On-The-Hill.) Your property is highly recommended, especially for a "get-away from it all"-which it most certainly was!

Most sincerely,
Four RI Friends

We have used this property several times in different seasons and had a great time . The location is perfect for winter ,spring ,summer and fall activities. Very spacious with great fireplace and a downstairs rec area for kids.
Highly recomended for large groups

What a fanatactic spot. My kids and I had a blast! The house was immaculate with plenty of space for everyone. I love d grilling andenjoying coctails on the wrap around porch.

Had a great time during our stay at your home. It is very accommodating for large families. Love the decor and layout. Never were we overcrowded with all the kids and adults. Great room for the kids to play or watch there own movies down stairs. There is plenty of room for everyone to keep busy, or not!! We found the Quechee Country Club and ski area very affordable, and loved it there. Also, went into Woodstock to explore the historic area! This lovely home is so conveniently located, yet very private. Can't wait to go back and enjoy it again.

We had 6 adults and 4 children spend the weekend at your home and we had plenty of room and fun for all. Your home was spacious and just what we needed. We very much enjoyed tennis, swimming, golf and lunch at the Quechee Country Club. We enjoyed the town of Woodstock, visited the Simon Pierce showroom and enjoyed watching the glass blowing and pottery making. We even made some pottery of our own. We explored Quechee Gorge and panned for jewels and fossils at the Quechee Gorge store! We even ran Covered Bridges half marthon and all runners had a great time. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable - we loved your home.

We really enjoyed our family weekend get together at this home. There was ample room for the 10 of us and it was luxurious to have four full bathrooms. We had several children with us and the kids enjoyed watching a movie and playing in the lower level playroom while the adults socialized upstairs. The house is clean and well-maintained and does not have any signs of pets or smokers. The house is located on a peaceful, wooded lot though it is close to amenities, restaurants, attractions, etc. Over the weekend we visited the Montshire museum (20 min away), Vt Institute of Natural Science (less than 5 min), Simon Pearce (5 min) the Quechee Club (10 min) and Woodstock (15 min). The owner is very pleasant and provides detailed directions. THere is lots of information on attractions at the house and the owner provides info on using the amenities and restaurant as his guest at the Quechee club. If there was one drawback it was laundering sheets and towels and remaking beds while trying to make the 10 am checkout time, but better planning on our part could have made this smoother. Overall, the rental and cleaning fee is quite low compared to similar properties in the area so this was not a bad trade off. I highly recommend this rental and would rent from the owner again.
