We had a great stay for our Sterling Graduation celebration. Everyone was comfortable & happy to be there - had everything we needed. Close to campus and events. Our host was just great - accommodated our early check-in request which was so helpful. Definitely recommend !

My husband and I just returned from a week at Cate Hill Cottage, it was outstanding! Amy is an exceptional hostess, with great dining and ski route suggestions! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful vacation! My ski pole broke, and she immediately loaned me a choice of two sets of poles! The local chefs she recommended were amazing, one even delivered dinner to our door!
The cottage is charming and had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is so much space to relax and even work! My husband used the excellent wifi to do a little work between ski outings. The couch is so comfortable for reading a book. The mattress is extremely comfortable, I loved the pillow top.
The location between Craftsbury Outdoor Center and the Highland Lodge trail system is perfect. It is also possible to ski from the door, if you don’t mind a little bushwhacking! Amy explained exactly where to go, so it’s not difficult to ski to the trail.
We will return next year, and I am already counting the days! Thank you Amy for a great vacation!

This property was located centrally to areas we decided to visit. The countryside in the NEK is some of the prettiest in VT. The foliage was peak and then gone during our week there. House was very comfortable and our hostess made sure we were able to enjoy our stay.

We would not stay at this property again. The second bathroom upstairs was not practical at all, unless you are 3' tall! You could not stand up and use the sink to brush your teeth or wash up. It did not have a shower only a bathtub, which again, you would not be able to stand up in it. The toilet was sooooo low, it felt like you were almost on the ground, in both bathrooms. The tub/shower in the downstairs bathroom was just a little bit better because you could shower, but if you weren't real careful with the curtain it could get the floor all wet. There was an old soap left, the bottom of the tub looked not very clean. There was NO counter space or anywhere to put toiletries, not enough hooks. The table and chairs were a mix and match, the fireplace was nice but the tv was upstairs and would have been much better to be downstairs. The 2 bedrooms were fine but not sure how 10 people could stay here! The grass should have been cut, in other words there was not much effort put into the VRBO to make it very welcoming.

Stayed here on a September weekend for a wedding nearby. The place was cute / clean and amazingly comfortable. Had a great wide open common area and comfortable clean beds. Will stay here again the next time I'm nearby.

Our stay was most pleasant. All parts of a family gathering were in place. We had all we needed for ingredients including 16 inches of fresh snow to ski in, and, lots of terrain to enjoy! Happy times and a wonderful weekend!

It was a very nice place to stay. The only thing i didn’t really like was that there was no tv downstairs… i would of liked to sit on the couch and watched some tv…. But other than that it was a great place!!!

This comfortable and unique home was perfect for us to gather with a few family members who live in the area. We are excited to keep this property as a favorite to return with more family and gather and stay at the spacious and clean home. Amy is the perfect host! So comforting to have seamless check in and check out. The quick communication from booking to last day was remarkable and appreciated. Great area for exploring in summer and winter OR just relaxing, as we did, in mid November to see the snow fall-- quiet and peaceful.

We 4 friends had a great winter get away in this cozy home. Plenty of room to spread out & adequate appointments. The water was delicious right out of the tap & strong and hot for showering. This may be addressed by the owner by now, but we found the microwave didn't work, nor did the lower oven. The heat in the upper oven was a bit wonky, so just be aware if you use it for something sensitive. Good mattresses, good linens/towels. The house was not as clean as I would've liked.... But that took me a quick half hour to rectify when we arrived. Sort of a problem, but sort of not, was 0 cell phone/text service for us (anywhere in Craftsbury). Wifi was great in the house. Only10 mins from the Outdoor Center and beautiful snow & skiing. We love this cool, out of the way feeling area of VT and will definitely come back again.

The cottage appears to be a renovated barn, with exposed beams and knotty pine interior. The open floor plan is cozy and warm. The location is perfect for skiing at Craftsbury Outdoor Center. It is surrounded by farms but still near small quaint villages.
