Family Friendly Hilltop House In Putney Vermont

The house was excellent and the view of the pond was amazing! But what we appreciated the most was Michele's help and communication about the snowstorm that was set to hit the area. She had excellent info and advice and was able to move our stay up a day so we could stay ahead of the storm. We had a great trip to Vermont and very much appreciate her help!

Nice - Would go back for an over night stay, No TV was not an issue, Was with 2 others and we used the time to re-connect and catchup. If anything - just need curtains for the French doors to the out front. Otherwise all was great. Very nice people. Great location.. we enjoyed are time.

Great location!

The house was all we expected. Very comfortable and ready for us when we arrived. It’s a bit out of the way, at the end of a private road, but quiet and secluded. Our host was attentive without being intrusive. She clearly wanted to make sure our stay met our expectations and was pleasant. All in all, a delightful way to visit Vermont!

Yes welcoming The place is very dated for 200 something a night and close to 500 w fees so it was kind of disappointing to be honest

The host and her daughter were lovely and kind and very quick with all communication.

I stayed with my spouse and two children (ages 5 and 9). We felt very safe. The rental was very private and separate from the main house. The bedrooms and two bathrooms were very convenient. Check-in was super easy and directions were clear. Lots of things were provided to make the stay very easy and convenient.Two points of inconvenience: 1) the downstairs bathtub only gets warm water. It was fine for bathing children but not warm enough to use myself. 2) We struggled with connecting to the Internet the entire stay. I thought maybe it was related to number of users since the host had someone staying with them as well. But when I woke up at 5:30am to work on my laptop (I was there to lead a workshop) I couldn't get a stable connection. We ended up having to tether our devices to our phones to be able to use the Internet consistently. It only really mattered because I needed to do work during our stay.We saw a show at Sandglass Theater in Putney while we were there. I highly recommend checking it out if they have any performances going on while you are in town!

Our family of four had a short overnight stay. The property was adequate for our needs with one exception. A coffee maker and coffee grounds were provided, but I was never able to find any coffee filters. I scoured the kitchen drawers and cabinets, but found none and had to forego our morning coffee ritual and get our caffeine needs met elsewhere. May have just been an oversight, but it was a bummer!

We were caught in the winter storm, and the host was so kind in helping us navigate our car situation. Our kids had such a great time playing in the snow, exploring the books and games they had.

The property was beautiful--great views, super peaceful, and fabulous hosts.

The house was spacious and set up for a large group when we arrived. The listing indicated that it slept 8 people, and that seemed appropriate based on the setup. When booking, the form seems to have defaulted to saying there would be four guests which was ultimately incorrect as we had seven for a one-night stay. Michele (the host) lives in the house on the other side of the driveway (in my opinion this should have been made more clear in the listing) and was keeping an eye on who was arriving and as soon as we had more than four people, Michele was sending us messages asking for additional payment given that we had gone over the maximum of four guests. We did not want any trouble so we just paid it without an argument. However, we kept getting messages from Michele asking how many of us there would be (which we were completely transparent about). Michele then sent messages indicating that they thought we intended to smoke inside the house (I don't smoke, never have, and doing it inside someone else's home would be disgusting). This made us generally feel unwelcome and if our stay included more than one night we likely would have found somewhere else. Other check-in/out instructions were confusing (uncertainty about what to do with linens/towels, whether or not we can/should use the dishwasher, etc.). What was supposed to be a simple, easy overnight stay (arriving after dinnertime, leaving before 8am the next day) quickly became a headache and added stress to the trip

This is a large property. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The beds were amazing and everything was fresh and clean. Although the owner is on sight, we had complete privacy. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to make a wonderful Vermont meal. 10 out of 10. We’d stay again!

Very warm and amazing people would definitely recommend they care about your stay and how comfortable you were while there
