Great Stay, Fantastic Host, Fun Ski Trip.

The property was perfect for our family of 4. Comfortable inside and the grounds and view were beautiful. Little town with a great market and restaurants 8 minute away and 40 minutes from 2 great skiing options. Johnny was a great host. He invited us to meet and feed the animals one morning and gave us a tour of his art studio. He could not of been more accommodating and friendly with our family and dog. We hope to go back.

Quiet, peaceful cabin in a lovely location

We enjoyed a lovely Christmas getaway here. Beautiful setting with mountain views and truly spectacular stars at night - there was so little light pollution we could even make out the shape of the milky way! And the silence was absolute - so peaceful! Sara and Johnny were very responsive and helpful hosts!

Such an enjoyable stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Sara and Johnny were phenomenal hosts. The house was very clean and comfortable. The area and fall foliage were beautiful! We got to participate in feeding the farm animals in the morning which was so cool to see. Great for any age!

Amazing property with sweeping views

Amazing cozy cottage set in a beautiful agricultural setting. Turn off the paved road, ramble up the mountain and turn into this lovely space with sweeping views and good neighbors (the cows and sheep). Be sure this rural space will help you relax and recharge. Lovely hosts, clean and organized space.

3 nights in August!

We had a great stay and Johnny was a gracious host. Beautiful view from the deck and lots of great hiking nearby. Bottle feeding the lambs in the evening was an unexpected bonus. We'd definitely return for another stay in the future.

Wonderful Fall Weekend

Our stay at Johnny & Sara's was lovely. The cabin is charming and full of Johnny's amazing artwork. The radiant floor heating was just right for the chilly October mornings and the views from the property were so nice ! Johnny and Sara were generous with their time, showing us a bit of their own 200 year old house as well as another property they are fixing up. We highly recommend the cabin to those looking for a quiet, Vermont retreat!

Sister weekend

We 3 sisters had a wonderful mini-reunion weekend at the cottage. Idyllic setting, beautiful views, comfortable beds, great decor, cute farm animals, and great hosts! What more could you ask for? (Be aware that the kitchen is a kitchenette, with a mini-refrigerator with virtually no freezer space. It is very well-equipped for its size, however.)

Idyllic Farm Stay

This was such a lovely stay. The cottage is clearly such a labour of love for Johnny and Sara. It's designed to maximise light and air in a small space and you can tell that Johnny is an artist/designer from how beautifully it is laid out and decorated. It's simple but really comfortable. The big sell for us was the incredible deck: we spent a lot of time on that. We and our two year-old really loved seeing the lambs, sheep, and cows. Johnny and Sara were friendly and helpful but not obtrusive. A really relaxing short getaway in a peaceful setting.

Fabulous spot

We had a great stay at this charming farm cottage. Great location to explore VT, NH, and MA. Sara and Johnny are great hosts and genuinely nice people. They are very attentive without being intrusive. The view from the back deck is beautiful with amazing sunsets. Being greeted by the cows and sheep in the morning was really fun for us.
