TESTIMONIALS: We had a wonderful time this weekend. It felt like a home away from home. The location was great for us as we skied and snow boarded at Ascutney. The general store was great...MMMMM... Connor had a great 12th birthday and we had a great weekend. Thanks again.' -- The B. Family, CT.
'We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was so cute and cozy. It was convenient to so many things which we missed the last time we came and stayed at the Ascutney Mountain resort. We got a lot of snow while we were there which made for great ski conditions. We also got in some sight seeing. Woodstock is a great little town... We look forward to making another trip to Vermont in the near future.'--Tara Z. & family, NJ.
'What a great place to stay - so comfy & homey. We had a wonderful time, spending snowy days in the village. Loved seeing the alpacas and eating at the Irish pub with the kids. Thanks for sharing your home .' -- Don & Sue S. & kids, MA.

House is located in downtown Reading and accessible to Windsor and Woodstock. House has a very cozy feeling. Few things I think are important to note: water pressure is very weak and hot water as well. It was just my husband and I. We could not shower within hour if each other or no hot water. Our visit was short so it didn’t become a major problem. James was excellent when we called about my husband misplacing key. He ended up finding in 10 min but James was helpful and answered phone.This visit was for quick getaway and house served us well. I would recommend to anyone wanting a home near hiking and Woodstock.
This could be a great house but it is in need of maintenance and renovations inside and out. It needs updating and curb appeal. The sheets, towels and couches needs to be replaced. The washing machine needs to be repaired the house also has very low water pressure. If you are truly needing a 4 bedroom be aware that the downstairs bedroom is in what was once a formal so whoever sleeps upstairs will be coming through your room to get the bathroom and any part of the house. A wall and a door could fix this easily. We only sleep in the downstairs and the bed was comfortable. The heating system worked well, the neighborhood is ok.
A classic Vermont house in a great location for riding the VT50 bike race, the kitchen was well stocked with pots / pans, everything was clean, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
We had a great time staying in Reading VT. The house was clean and comfortable. The location was great for getting to and from Mount Ascutney while we attended the Flow State mountain bike festival.
Enjoyed the spacious and well-equipped kitchen and terrific general store and wine shop just across the street. Very clean, easy to work woth owners, and pet-friendly too.
Plenty of space for everyone. Loved the kitchen. Location right in reading was perfect for us. Internet never did work while we were there. And that was problematic since I had work to do while I was visiting family for thanksgiving. I spoke with the owner, as well as Comcast, and never was able to get access. Owner noted that I could get over by the library and connect to the public WiFi.
This property was the perfect location for a friend’s weekend at the Green Mountain Horse Association! Only 11 minutes to GMHA and adjacent to a municipal lot large enough to pull a horse trailer into.
The house was lovely, and the location was super close to GMHA. Communication was excellent and any questions were answered promptly. Plenty of parking for the trucks and we were all very comfortable. Thank you!
The property was clean, comfortable and had a nicely stocked kitchen for all of our cooking needs. The bedroom situation was a little unexpected, as the “bedroom” on the first floor is actually essentially the front room with a staircase up to the top floor! This is probably a better place for a family to stay as opposed to a group of college friends, but overall we had a great time and it was comfortable place to come back to after a wet day of spring skiing!
House was great for 2 families! Quick ride to Okemo! Thanks!
