Islanders Love Snow
"We had
a wonderful time at your mountain home. The "kids" had a
great time at Mt. Ascutney -- the perfectdistance for weary
athletes as theyjourneyed off themountain. The weekend was
picture-perfect with lightly fallen snow. A nice change from the
rain at home. You had wonderful links on your website to allow us
to make the most of our visit in the area. And you are correct in
saying that the hand-cut smoked bacon was not to be missed. Our
stay was warm, comfortable, and a memorable experience with our
family. Best wishes,"

comfortable (especially the beds!) Thank you for sharing your home

Happy New
Years
"Like
many who have commented on the same fact, your home is like
something from a "Visit Vermont Guide Book. No better setting
for our family (celebrated a 3rd birthday in Reading) to
appreciate Vermont living and skiing! We spent 3 days at Ascutney
with beautiful conditions - kids woke each morning to the 7AM snow
plows...more FRESH POWDER! Lots of good food and red wine with
husband - kids were wiped out at days end from fresh air and
outdoor fun. Thanks you for the wonderful accomodations! The
kitchen is a perfect farmhouse setting... We also enjoyed the
perfect pond in the backyard for skating (and your neighbor's hill
across the street for EXCELLENT sledding!! Thoroughly
enjoyed our stay"

Great
Family Getaway
"What a
quaint Vermont spot! We loved it. This is what a vacation
should be. It's clear the owners have taken great care to
renovate their sweet farmhouse. Contained all the amenities
needed for a relaxing, care-free stay. Our goal was to teach
the kids how to ski - we had 3 excellent days at Ascutney.
Loved the children's clinics - even though it was Christmas
vacation week, there were no crowds, they received loads of
attention, and had a ball on the slopes. An easy 15 minute
ride door to door. We also conquered the sledding hill just
across the street (hope the neighbors did not mind!) and
thoroughly enjoyed the skating pond directly in our backyard.
Left Reading feeling as though our family had stepped out of a
Norman Rockwell review! The owner's assessment was very clear.
This IS a farmhouse. Not a lot of glitz and glamour - downtown
Reading can be missed in the blink of an eye. Just grab your
slippers for the cool mornings on the hardwoods and prepare to
simply relax and enjoy family dinners and game nights in the
HUGE kitchen following the day's adventures!"

Response: We've received many letters just like this, and
I always feel the excitement of investigating this small
village's many secret finds and hidden gems. Of course the
surrounding area, as well, is filled with great destinations
and day trips that make this spot a great base-of-operations.
And yes, there is a Norman Rockwell Museum nearby, also!
Vermont
Life
"What a
wonderful piece of Vermont life. We had a great time here. The
beds were comfie and warm, the nights quiet and the kitchen, a
social center. Thank you so much for the bacon recommendation.
YUM. This was also a great home for touring central-eastern
Vermont. Close to so much, but nice and quiet. I hope we are able
to come back a few times a year."

"I think
my husband is tired of hearing me sigh and say how lovely this
place is!!:) We've had such a great time here - so different from
the falls in California - just can't beleive fall in Vermont
really is as beautiful as all the pictures we saw on the internet.
Thanks so much for letting us experience this season in your cozy
farmhouse. The 3 boys have had a ball & we had to write a
peacetreaty to help decide who got to sleep in the cool bed with
the stairs each night - they'll never forget it and neither will
we!!"

WOW!
"WOW!
I can't say how many times I have said that word as we have

is adorable and just feels like home. The beautiful foliage is
something I will never forget! We enjoyed our meals at Keepers
& Bentleys. We will be in touch for next year."

A Wonderful
Weekend Getaway
"While visiting
some friends in Boston for two weeks we rented this farm house for a
few days as a Vermont getaway. It was our groups first visit to
Vermont and I would highly recommend it for European visitors.
We enjoyed our stay at the house, which was accurately described.
The property was charming, very clean and well maintained and within
a few miles of beautiful Woodstock and many other attractions. Our
only regret was that we did not visit a little later in the year as
we all love to ski.
The owner was helpful and friendly and the rental was very
reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone
looking to experience a taste of the Vermont lifestyle."

Loved seeing the alpacas and eating at the Irish pub with the kids. Thanks for

Site-seeing
"We had an absolutely wonderful
time. The house was so cute and cozy. It was convenient to so
many things which we missed the last time we came and stayed at the Ascutney Mountain
resort. We got alot of snow while we were there which made for great ski
conditions. We also got in some sight seeing. Woodstock is a great
little town... We look forward to making another trip to Vermont in the near
future."

Great
Birthday Weekend
"We had a wonderful
time this weekend. It felt like a home away from home. The location was great
for us as we skied and snow boarded at Ascutney. The general store was great. If
you haven't tried the sirloin steak you must. MMMMM... Connor had a great 12th
birthday and we had a great weekend. Thanks again."

Great family
vacation spot
"The place was
quaint and cozy, minutes from a number of destinations. We have
stayed here several times, in all seasons and have had a wonderful
stay each time. It is only 15 minutes from beautiful Woodstock and
10 minutes to Mt. Ascutney (a very reasonably priced place to ski)."

Home away
from home
"This home
being just on the outskirts of charming Woodstock makes for an
amazing getaway. The home is quiet and appealing with that small
town feel and plenty of room for any number of guests. I found it
convenient to have a locally owned market in walking distance for
those last minute provisions. Any ride from this home was
picturesque and memorable being that it's situated in the mountains.
I would recommend making this trip in the autumn to do a little leaf
peeping. It’s also just minutes away from some great skiing. A stay
also wouldn’t be complete without exploring Woodstock’s many shops
along their delightful main street or peering down Quechee gorge.
Not to mention a trip to Sugarbush Farm for some locally crafted
cheese or some fudge from Fool on the Hill. It’s a relaxing place to
kick back and snuggle on a cool night with the warmth of the wood
stove with some good friends. I recommend it for those that like the
feeling of home in lieu of a dull hotel room."

Great Time
In Vermont
"We spent three
days here and had a wonderful time. The area is just beautiful and
because it's in a village, it feels like home. You've got to go to
the general store, just steps away and try their bacon....yummy! The
house is quaint, very comfortable and clean. We have actually stayed
there a couple of times...not far from Woodstock, Stowe and the
Burlington area. What luck, there is a neighbor that makes his own
maple syrup too. What a treat to buy it and at a good price. We
would absolutely recommend to anyone planning a vacation in Vermont"
-- Persie, Plymouth, MA, Aug 2008
We had a
great trip to Vermont!
"We had a fun
time staying at this rental house, it was the perfect size for our
group of 3 couples. While there we visited two breweries and had a
great time driving through Woodstock and stopping at all the local
farmers markets and small shops. The small store right across the
street was great to grab a quick breakfast, the apple cider there
was delicious. It was a relaxing weekend and the leaves were
gorgeous!"
