Let’s not forget the apples or maple syrup.
We had a perfect extended stay at this great cabin. The generous open floor plan and deck provide a lot of very comfortable living space in a quiet, wooded setting. The kitchen is fully equipped with more than enough nice dinnerware, cookware, utensils and spices, etc. The appliances seemed new. We appreciated the new grill (with backup propane) on the deck and the patio set. Such a pleasant setting. The master bed was very comfortable, and slider provided lots of cool ventilation at night. Our sons gave the other beds a great review also. The bathrooms are clean and surprisingly large. Tons of closet space. The owner was very responsive and communicated promptly and kindly as this was our first VRBO. Can’t write enough good things about this place.!
We are grateful to have spent another ski season in this beautiful home. It is clean, spacious, comfortable, functional, and set in the perfect location - the list could go on and on. This property has it all, and Marty and Deb are fantastic hosts. We would recommend this cabin to anyone at anytime! It really is perfect.
This cabin is lovely and has everything you need and is in a great location (very close to the little town of Wilmington and hiking trails). It's on a private lot but in a subdivision so you still have privacy without feeling too isolated. We really enjoyed the fireplace / buck stove in the living room and used it every evening (we had to buy our own wood, but that could be because the owners weren't planning for any more visitors this year). The large back deck also has a table and chairs where we drank our coffee and ate a few meals. The kitchen has most everything you need -- we cooked all but one night. And with the cabin's a-frame design, there's so much light, and all of the wood is gorgeous and makes the cabin so cozy. There's also a smart TV in the cozy living room, which we enjoyed! Marty was also very responsive and helpful -- when we first reached out, he wasn't planning to rent the cabin any more for the year but was kind enough to accept our reservation since it was our anniversary! Also, when we arrived and ran water in the kitchen, we discovered the sink was clogged, and Marty got a plumber out there the same day. Finally, my husband and I stupidly left our coats hanging on the hooks by the front door, and Marty is mailing them to us next time he's at the cabin, which is a relief! Just a couple of things to note that aren't clear from the description / pictures -- there isn't a real grill at the property. There's an old electric grill outside, but when you open it there's a small, charcoal camping grill inside of it, which we didn't use. You can also see a mounted TV in the master bathroom in one of the pictures, but that TV isn't currently there (though the mount is still there). We also had to make the beds and distribute the towels, which were with the linens on the bed, but again that's probably because the cleaning staff wasn't preparing for more visitors the last time they serviced the cabin. Other than those couple of things, the cabin was PERFECT, and we had a wonderful stay!
Had a wonderful week long stay at this beautiful mountain cabin. The stars bright, the water crisp and cold, the air just so fresh and clean. My family and I enjoyed eating meals together (a rarity in today's world!) and watching movies from the smart TV (with high-speed internet), all while having a roaring fire going in the large wood burning stove. The cabin is in a quaint little town by a reservoir, and just an hour or two away from a variety of activities. My father and mother-in-law enjoyed the upstairs master suite, with balcony and private bathroom. I enjoyed the queen sized bed, and my sister had the option of sleeping on one of 4 different bunk beds in the third bedroom. There was also a delightful loft overlooking the living room. The only downside was that COVID had closed the community center, which was a shame as we had wanted to specifically make use of those facilities (indoor pool, hot-tub, movie room). Last but not least my mother-in-law and sister had a blast trying to find all of the chickens!
Beautiful house Clean Spacious Owner gets back to you in a timely manner
We loved our stay early October 2020 at Marty and family's cosy cabin in Vermont. It was our get away from the city for the first time in 2020. It was completely beyond and over our expectations. The layout of the cabin is very well done. The set up in the living room and kitchen was really cosy and comfortable. And needless to say that the fall color, all around, was amazing. We felt at home right away. I loved cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. We loved it so much that we even inquired if we could extend our stay. But, of course, it was booked up. It truly was a the best thing that happened to us in 2020, the crazy time that we are all living in! We will definitely return one day soon. Thank you so much Marty & family for letting us stay in your cute and warm cabin that helped us rejuvenate our spirit and energy.
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house that makes you feel in the middle of the woods while enjoying the town proximity and all the comfort and advantages a city offers. Thanks to the oversized windows, sitting in the cozy living room gives you the feeling of being outside surrounded by nature. There is so much to do and see around Wilmington that my husband and I did not have enough time after almost two weeks. Marty is a great host, friendly and always available to advise when needed. We´ll be back soon. Carla
We had a great experience staying in this rental. It was very clean, accomodated 9 comfortably, and provided all the extras needed. The owner was extremely responsive to all inquiries before, during, and after our stay. He even went above and beyond to mail our daughters stuffed animal she left behind. Highly recommend!
We had a great time at this house and the city of Wilmington is perfect for anyone that wants to escape the fast pace of city life. This was our first time at this house and Marty is an A+ host - easy to communicate with & very responsive. We includes 3 adults and 2 children (8 & 5). The house was super clean, very accommodating with plenty of space, comfortable amenities, kitchen and bathrooms were clean and recently updated, plenty of beds, excellent wifi, new smart TV, spacious deck to hang out, washer /dryer, etc. You will definitely be comfortable in this home as soon as you walk in. We used the community pool several times during the week, spent a few days on the lake (5 min drive) where we went swimming, had picnics, and rented canoes. The kids loved it! Supermarket (Shaw's) in town (7 min drive) has everything you need for the house. We ate at Wahoo's in town on 2 occassions - great burgers and ice cream :-) We also went for daily walks on the roads leading up to the house to get some fresh air. If you are looking to get away for the week and want to slow down and relax, this is a perfect house and destination. We (including the kids) highly recommend and will be coming back in the future.
Our group of three adults had a really great stay at Marty’s property- it had comfortable beds, plenty of space for us to stay in on rainy days, and a fully stocked kitchen. It was also amazing how there were nearly no bugs so we could sit outside and keep the doors open. Our only issue— the listing said it had a grill and when we pulled up we saw a large gas grill so we went shopping and bought a ton of food. When we opened it that night, we discovered a tiny charcoal camping grill inside which was very time consuming to use! Had we known we would have just planned differently, but other than that our stay was perfect!
