Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness The house size and layout was great for families. We all had our own space and large fenced in yard. However all of us commented on how the house was not clean. It seemed like they do quick vacuum and change sheets but that's it. There were dying and dead flies everywhere as if they had bug bombed recently and very dusty/unwiped surfaces. Additionally no trails on the property, and no map. Backyard was completely unusable until we cleaned it up ourself, leaves everywhere so unsafe to have a fire. Crubs on counter and couch. Also little annoyances like 1 roll of paper towels for 4 nights, no extra trashbags, no ziploc bags or tin foil? Really odd when you pay all this for the conveniences of home, but then have to buy that stuff. Love the house itself but would not stay again. Needs a good deep clean and better upkeep. ##### Emily R.

We really enjoyed the hot tub, and having an enclosed back yard was particularly helpful with our toddler son. There was a lot for us to explore inside, and our kids had a great time during a snowy day finding the hidden room. Lots of great hikes within a short drive of the location. Especially if you have a family with small children, this was a great stay to "get out of the city" for a while. ##### Brian S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lea B.

Very comfortable house, lots of room and most excellent game room. Easy check in. Many trails n waterfalls nearby, good restaurants nearby in Middlebury. My only regret is I didn’t use the hot tub this trip. Next time! I recommend property to anyone. ##### Albert K.

What an amazing home nestled in Green Mountain State Park!!! It truly feels like you are staying in your own private ski lodge. The house is beautiful with everything you would need for a perfect getaway with family and friends or even a business team getaway. We arrived 2 days after Christmas, to find the house beautifully decorated. It is apparent that the owners, Kris & Jane, take pride in their house and want to ensure that their guests have a memorable time!! ##### Rob A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### debra s.

It is very cool with so many areas to get away from each other or areas to gather and enjoy card games, pool games or just some time outside. The hosts are excellent. On our stay the Internet was knocked out, probably a storm, and the host even showed up to coordinate with the internet company and get us WiFi again, which we needed for our jobs. What a great place and great host. ##### Rob H.

The fenced in back yard is perfect, the house is enormous, spacious and well designed. There is good kitchen equipment (pots, pans, blender, and two grills). The owners are responsive and attentive when needed. The house is centrally located and close to great hiking spots, some small towns and shops, and across the street there is a gorgeous river worth exploring. Don’t forget to make time to star gaze and soak in the hot tub! ##### H Alex H.

Plenty of room for our family of 12\. Ideal for our 1 y r. old, providing crib, changing table, booster seat, and toys. Main floor mostly accessible for family member's power chair. Recommend bringing portable wheelchair too. Upstairs bedrooms have no doors, so minimal privacy. Big Kitchen and lovely patio.

The house is big and the space allows for everyone to engage in their favorite activity without affecting other guests. We had at all times someone playing pool, while others were reading on the comfy couch and/or out for hikes. The fenced backyard is great for dogs that can be left outside without concerns. A couple of minor comments: the house is very close to the road, with some traffic noise. Lastly, the master bedroom, while beautiful and big, does not have full walls ( one must see it to understand!), therefore it lacks some privacy. ##### Annalisa D.

We stayed in the summer, when the hiking and outdoors are great. Our dogs loved the fenced in backyard, and the location in Ripton is stupendous. Their are well-known trails throughout the National Forest, and a couple of lesser known trails within walking distance (we see you SPirit In Nature!). The house itself is very comfortable. The kitchen is built to support a large group (two fridges!) and there are many nooks to explore and hide out. Everything was clean. The Game Room? Don't get me started. Fun for all ages. ##### Lu S.

Aug 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big beautiful house The house is huge and beautiful! So much fun playing all the downstairs games and finding the secret room. Made s’mores on bonfire and loved the hot tub. The only negatives were close to road and when out at fire pit it could be noisy. Also the popcorn machine had popcorn pieces and kernels still in it. We weren’t using it anyway but maybe housekeeping overlooked this time. The good completely outweighs the bad this house is truly one of a kind and a great experience for families. ##### Melissa D.
