    We had a wonderful few days at the property enjoying the views and the sheep. Our host Carin was excellent, communication before we arrived and once settled in helped us get to know the area better so thank you for making our stay a perfect one. I would highly recommend a stay here to family and friends for its location, comfort and again wonderful host.

    The house, the view, and the sheep were AMAZING!! What an unbelievable place to stay. The house was perfect, clean, and the sun room with a fireplace and hot coffee in the morning while it snowed was icing on the cake!! What a remarkable view, both front and back. What a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. We couldn't have been more satisfied with our stay!! Thank you McCarthy Family for sharing your guest home with us. Merry Christmas!🎄

    Very pretty house inside and out. Mountain views are amazing. The sheep and pasture are really nice to see. We enjoyed every morning out on the covered porch having coffee and breakfast while taking in the views. The house is centrally located to so many places in Vermont. The pond had nice fishing for kids. Communication was very prompt. I would love to come back to the property next time we come to Vermont.

    This lovely home is located in a very rural location at the end of a country road. The views are beautiful around the property but especially from the front. The property is very well equipped and homely. Very cozy for the winter months that we saw. The owners are friendly and very responsive. Overall if you want a vacation to relax and enjoy walks this is perfect.

    This property is nestled high up in a hilltown valley nestled between green mountain ranges. The house is well-maintained and the hosts were incredibly nice and helpful. The house featured all modern amenities. The sheep in the field nearby were amazing to watch. The views from the house were spectacular! The location is nearby to Middlebury and Bristol (10-30 minutes) and for a slightly longer drive, Burlington, Waitsfield, Waterbury, and Stowe (40-90 minutes). Incredible access to biking and hiking. We brought our dog and everything went smooth. Excited to return at some point for the folliage and for skiing.

    The Guest House was the perfect stay for our winter vacation. It is a home away from home with all of the comforts. Carin even provided sleds for the kids to go sledding after it snowed. The kitchen is fully stocked with supplies for meals. We hope to be back in the spring/summer!
