Fair Haven, Vermont
Picturesque cottage next to the Castleton River. You can wake up to the birds chirping and fall asleep to the frogs croaking. Hourly church bells ring throughout the day. Walk down the historic slate sidewalk to the town green park or shopping and dining. Minutes to many lakes, trails and mountain activities. Perfect for day trips to Killington, Okemo, Woodstock, Lake George, Vergennes, Rutland, Burlington and Saratoga Springs. Offers welcome.
This was our second time using the property. We had a large group of six visiting family in the area. The house was clean and inviting, same as the first time, and was a delightful stay again. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, Fairhaven is a beautiful town, and the owner continues to work on a beautify the property even more.
The property is super nice on the inside and has tons of character. It was exactly what we needed. Will use again.
The location of the house was on a nice quiet street, but the owner of the rental house has a rooster that they house directly behind the rental property. It crows all the time during the day, but the worst part is that it starts around 5:30am and just keeps going off and on for the rest of the daylight hours. My husband has insomnia and so he was so overtired on our trip. It also woke my son up, too. The rooster crows repeatedly - not just one time, and not even the air conditioner can drown it out. I am not sure why this rooster is not noted in the listing as it completely changed what would have been a great experience. We specifically stay in air b&bs instead of hotels because noise bothers my husband and makes it hard or impossible for him to sleep. If we had been told there was a rooster that crows starting at 5:30 am, we would have booked a different property. So, although the house is nice, beware the rooster - he won't let you sleep in on your vacation!
Clean and very comfortable beds. Next door to the town cemetery which we didn't mind and the neighbors are really quiet.
The house had everything we needed for our stay. We cook our own meals & the kitchen was well equiped. The neighborhood is very quiet, except we chuckled everytime we heard the off key crow of the rooster, after we were awake! He's not an early riser.
I stayed at this property for a week while working in the area with relatives. Joshua and Dennis were very pleasant and responsive. The guest house was part of the main house but separated by a carport so it was secluded enough to feel autonomous. The home had everything I needed. The home was available for the day prior to my booking so Joshua offer it to me free of charge for the extra night. I accepted and appreciated the offer. I would recommend this property.
This was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, modern and comfortable.
Nice and clean
I hate leaving bad reviews but I think it's important people know what to expect. This is definitely an older property in need of updating, and not a quiet one. The nearby train whistle went off starting at 6am, and the owners who live on the property have young active children. For some that might not be an issue, but there are definitely some things that should be addressed. The property was not thoroughly cleaned from the last visitor. Furniture including the bed in the main bedroom is very uncomfortable. The sofas in the living room are terrible - finding an inviting place to sit and read a book was impossible. There are no shades or blinds on the bedroom or bathroom windows. Clearly the noise is not something that can be changed, and the needed update would be expensive, but some of the other issues could certainly be addressed.
The house was great, we loved the downstairs tv and the kitchen.
