Vermont Living

This was my first experience with Vrbo. It was wonderful. Checking in and out of the property was simple! My fiancé and I were seeking a Christmas getaway in Vermont. We certainly found it! The property is in close distance to Brandon and Middlebury. Both towns have lots of dining options and shopping. We visited a brewery and winery. Our cottage in Leicester was pristine. Our host, David. was accommodating and friendly. The cottage is well built and you can see how much work David has put into it. The area is very quiet. Quite a change from NYC! If you have a sports fanatic with you, however, I’d suggest bringing an iPad so certain games can be accessed. David does provide a television and DVDS with a large selection of movies. There is no cable, but the internet is just fine. Thank you for your hospitality. David. We enjoyed our stay in Vermont.

Our stay at Camp Tiger Ted was so wonderful. The amount of detail and care David put into building and now maintaining the property is second to none.

Homecoming 2024

Loved the property. Enjoyed talking with David. The property is really attractive and comfortable. One comment: The signage is hard to see from the road, which is a highway. I don't know what more could be done, but something that gives a heads-up would help to prevent driving past the driveway and having to turnaround.

Wonderful property with an unbelievable story! The cottage is extremely clean and well-equipped. Unfortunately, we were not able to take advantage of everything the property and surrounding area had to offer due to a limited amount of time.

This place is inspiring -- built with craftsmanship, vision, and love. It is fastidiously clean. It is a refuge. It's near enough to Middlebury to make it a special stay for parents.

We attended a wedding in Goshen. It was a ten minute drive. It worked out perfectly. The home is very clean and comfortable! The host even turned the porch light on for us for our late night return.

Extraordinary place with an extraordinary host

We loved the cabin, which has a very personal touch. We loved the chats with David and his personal stories. We loved to sit outside and have breakfast (partly with things that David provided). We also enjoyed the outstanding quality of the woodwork and the love to every detail. This is an absolute recommendation for a stay in Vermont.

Wonderful!

David's place exceeded my expectations! Very smart design and layout. Quality craftmanship and attention to detail. Super clean. I wish my daughter and i could have stayed longer! Close enough to Middlebury College for this to be a great option for 2 people. David was very nice to stop by to introduce himself and see if we needed anything. We didn't see him again, but knew he was only a phone call away. Perfect.

Amazing Stay

I didn't want to leave! Beautiful place with such a rich history. I loved waking up on Saturday morning to play the grand piano. Forgot how much I loved it. Very clean and David made the process as smooth as possible. Our only complaint was the bed needs an update, sinks to the middle. Thank you David!

This was such a great place to stay. So unique and inviting. We actually cooked a lot here instead of going out to eat because it was so relaxing and such a romantic setting. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Can't say enough positive things about this place.
