FARM-TO-TABLE eating, good hot tub soak, S'mores around fire pit, seasonal POOL!

The rental was adequate but the kitchen was older, despite the cabinets being painted and the hardware being replaced. The appliances need replacing, including the coffee pot, and the seal around the kitchen sink had mildew, which made cooking unappealing. The hot tub was a nice addition, however, it snowed while we were there making the steps to get in and out slippery and very cold. Also, there is a rental unit above this ground floor unit, and if people walk on the floor late at night, which happened to us, you can hear their footsteps, which woke up our dog who felt protective of us. Primary bedroom was comfortable enough, but the second bed in the back of the unit was less comfortable. The nice part was that we could bring our dog and there was a grassy area right outside the door where you could walk her. The property is very close to the road so we kept her on leash the whole time, although if your dog is well trained, that may not be an issue. It’s adequate for a short stay to get away but probably not for a longer vacation.

We had a great stay at this spot. We loved the fireplace heater inside, and the hot tub out back. Great visit to the Williamstown area to see our sons at college.

The unit was large with plenty of room to move around. It's listed as a one bedroom, but it's one and a very large alcove with a king bed, so there's plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen is large. We did have to purchase some things to accommodate our eating. The temperature was great and the outside quite nice. Although there was a large hot tub, we didn't use it, but would have had we had more time. The only real problem we had was check in. But the communication with the property manager was good. Sandy is very friendly and helpful.

We were disappointed by the inaccurate website description—we were looking for a quiet and romantic weekend away and when we arrived, the amenities for which we chose the property were not as described. We (and the property manager who was doing our check-in) were unable to get in touch with the host. We contacted VRBO immediately upon arrival and they were also not able to contact the host. We elected not to stay the whole time (VRBO instructed us to stay the first night while they gave the host a window to respond, which they did not). After two weeks of VRBO getting no response from the host, VRBO issued us a refund. The specifics of what was not as described:1 - The listing includes a “private pool” and uses the word “secluded” to describe the pool. In reality, there is a second unit in the building that shares the pool. Their balcony looks directly into the pool. It is also located off the main road. Not private, not secluded. 2 - The listing included a hot tub. The property manager told us only hours before arrival that it was not working. We did see where it was located and even if it had been working, it did not have the views shown in the photos. The photos show beautiful mountain views from the hot tub, but instead it is tucked behind the house and the building itself blocks any view. I’m basing my review on what was posted at the time (hopefully it will be corrected). Otherwise it was clean, though you can hear the upstairs family very clearly.

This unique hideaway was great for our family. The open layout might not work for everyone, but suited us just fine! We were only here a couple nights but enjoyed the location and using the hot tub!

My partner, puppy and I came up for a long weekend whilst attending a podcast festival in North Adams. Sandy, the property manager, was a total gem. We were spoiled with the most beautiful mid-October weather, but the energy/aesthetic of the Garden apartment was the cherry on top of an incredible weekend.

Nice place, just what we were looking for to stay the weekend.

Great communication from the hosts and convenient to Williamstown, Bennington and all things VT. Clean and comfortable. Look forward to coming back!

The property manager was awesome, but the garden unit was

We were grateful to have this vrbo as a back up to our original vacation that was cancelled due to a hurricane. we booked in on a friday and checked in on a monday. it was a good size for our family of 6. however the ceilings were low and my husband is 6'3. the only bathroom had a small shower (definitely not good if you are a larger person) with no grip bars and was too slippery for my 70 yr old mother in law. the bathroom also created a lot of humidity as there was no window. however, there was a dehumidifier that we had to empty almost every day. no A/C in the back bedroom (near the bathroom)made it uncomfortable at night. However Sandy made our check in very simple and she even met us early. she was available via text and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. the pool was great but the trees near it created a little too much shade for us. otherwise it was a great little apartment that was 10-15 minutes away from shops and entertainment. great spot if you are looking to get away and have some peace and quiet.
