​Five stars all around! The home is stunning, spotless, and offers breathtaking views (waking up early for the sunrise is a must). It’s exceptionally dog-friendly, fully stocked with a dog bed, couch steps, covers, bowls, and waste bags. Location-wise, it’s ideal for a quiet getaway with fresh air, while still being only 15 minutes from hiking/river spots and 25 minutes from Manchester. Check-in was effortless, and the host was super friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for peace and quiet and beauty - this place is for you. The house is lovely and has everything you could possibly want. It is beautifully rural but only 15-20 minutes from restaurants and shopping and so forth. It is dog friendly and that will mean some dog hairs here and there but it didn’t hinder our stay at all. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well furnished and the place is very well stocked. We highly recommend it.

My partner & I, along with our pups, absolutely LOVED our stay! We’ve stayed at many VT airbnbs, and this by far is our favorite! The house was very clean, comfy, and we felt right at home. The yard was amazing for our dogs, and the views are just gorgeous. By the end of our trip we just didn’t want to leave and extended our stay. It was a perfect, peaceful, relaxing birthday trip, and we will most definitely be back :)
