Welcoming, pet-friendly cabin in Green Mountain Nat'l Forest

This place was magical! We booked it for just one night, to cover a gap we realized we had on our cross-country road trip. We were just happy to have a place to stay roughly in between our northern and central Vermont destinations, but it turned out this was the best rental of all. The cabin and property were both so beautiful! The screened-in back porch was so quiet and calming. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning meant we slept well. The cinnamon buns Jaime and Chris delivered in the morning were delicious! The property has well-marked trails so we could enjoy being out in nature, but we didn’t have to forego modern amenities (There was WIFI and a car charger). I wish we could have spent a lot more time here. We will definitely come again the next time we are in Vermont.

Billing issue

Our group booked this place for a ski trip to sugarbush. A remote area, but the cabin was very cool and our host were the best. The warm cinnamon twists in the morning were a big hit and the hot tub was perfect after a day of skiing. Would definitely look into booking this in the summer/fall.

We had an amazing time. It was our honeymoon. When we got there we saw a sign that said congratulations Michael and Julianne. The cabin was incredible. Marty the host was fantastic. Highly recommend!

We were in Vermont for my daughter's graduation and loved staying at the cabin. It is beautiful, and Carol and Marty are wonderful hosts: responsive and welcoming. A special treat: homemade cinnamon twists delivered to your door.

Beautiful spot on earth. So grateful for Carol and Marty to share this piece of solitude in nature. Perfectly maintained, met with a welcome sign and all accommodations needed. We will definitely go back!

The property is very well thought out, beautiful, and rustic.

It is impossible to say how amazingly wonderful the cabins that Marty and Carol constructed in Ripton, VT. Each cabin is nicely separated from the others. And each cabin has all the conveniences of home with TOP QUALITY appliances/AC/ etc. The rooms are fantastic, the woods used inside are all stained or natural and blend perfectly together. The quality is tops..you can feel it. The doors are solid, the table and chairs are stable, the WiFi is perfect, the bathrooms are perfect and of a great size. the shower is huge and a walk-in !!! The mattresses are top quality, the terrace with table and chairs and floor to ceiling windows are marvelous !! What a place...just the best cabins we have ever seen!! These people are bright, hard working, of good humor, down to earth and just totally devoted to your comfort and satisfaction. Can't recommend this wonderful hideaway enough! And they are wonderfully PET FRIENDLY....just totally amazing.

I was very excited to come to Vermont to ski with my family for the first time and celebrate my daughters 4th birthday. Marty greeted my boyfriend and I while my parents were out food shopping. He was nice but we were a little unsettled when he told my daughter “happy birthday little girl” instead of asking for her name. Marty did explain his policy for not having young children in the hot tub because there is a risk of them using the bathroom. Unbeknownst to my boyfriend and I, my parents took my daughter to the hot tub late at night after enjoying her birthday cake. When my boyfriend and I went to use the hot tub early in the morning Carol was standing in the empty hot tub cleaning it out. I greeted her “good morning” and instantly knew there was a problem by her cold reaction. She told me my daughter had been in the hot tub and she now had to come out in below freezing temperatures to hand clean it. My boyfriend and I were so stunned at her tone and mannerisms that we literally could not respond. She then began tapping on the window to the laundry room to alert her husband Marty to join in on the tongue lashing. We apologized and said we forgot to inform our elderly parents about the child rule (not to mention my daughter did not and would not relieve herself, she is trained in swimming school). We quickly packed our belongings and left. We knew there’d be a possibility of feeling out of place because let’s face it, a black family in Vermont isn’t the norm. But all in all, we made the best out of our stay.

I can't say enough about our stay at Marty and Carol's beautiful place. They were so accommodating, and there are so many thoughtful touches - not only in the cabin, but across the property. They even made temporary dog tags in case a visiting dog wanders away! We look forward to being able to come back some day!
