    Comfortable older home with everything needed for an affordable stay. Impressed by how quickly roads and driveway were plowed after snow during our stay. Great location, near everything you’d want to access in Wilmington. Great communication by host.

    We felt welcome and the children were thrilled to find some toys.WiFi was great.We loved being so close to the lake and being allowed to use the canoe, paddles and live jackets. Overall instructions were excellent, easy to turn on the water and then turn it off again. We did not make a fire though it could be a cozy experience.Grilling on the porch was wonderful, even though the deck is a bit wonky, and a few porch chairs are nearly falling apart.Kitchen facility is beautiful and well equipped but some older stuff is just filling the cabinets and not really usable, for example many of the pots and pans are wiggly on the stove or the teflon is scratched and not usable. The pancake griddles were super. We would have liked a small mixer for whipping cream, but managed by hand; also a couple of small knives and a few dish towels would be helpful. We struggled opening drawers and doors of the kitchen cabinets and attached some tape to help opening them, but removed them before leavingUpon arrival: downstairs was very musty - humidity level was nearly 90 and not running due to full bucket; we emptied the dehumidifier 8 times and by the time we left the humidity level was under 50.The last night the fire alarm went off upstairs. It seems due to the battery age. First 3 alarms, it stopped, and about 10 minutes later it was a full blast alarm - at 2AM, a bit scary.To conclude, we had a lovely visit and hopefully we'll come back anther time.Thank you very much!

    Great home away from home! There were 7 of us. The house had character and charm. We received 4-5 inches of snow our first night. In the morning, the plow guy did a great job along with the woman who shoveled the walkways. Roads also were well maintained and easily passable.

    My wife and I spent a long weekend with our toddler at Phyllis’s beautiful home filled with character. She provided helpful information in advance and we had an excellent stay. The weather was not conducive for lake activities but we had a great time nonetheless. Would love to visit again.

    This rental is quirky but delightful. Front and back porches provide lots of great outdoor space for eating, visiting, reading etc. The kitchen is well equipped and has room for more than one cook. The supply of games is exceptional. Kayaks, canoes and access to a private beach and dock on Lake Raponda made use of the lake easy. A delightful location for a low key Vermont vacation.
