This home was perfect for my siblings and our families to stay at on short notice for our Grandmothers funeral. It was the perfect size, there were plenty of beds and rooms. The land was beautiful. Be aware there are no curtains on the bathroom windows (BUT they face trees and land, we just had some teenage girls with us who didn’t care did that part), and as other reviews have stated, there are none in the bedroom with all the windows. We were there when it was in the 40’s, so no complaints about being too cold in that room for us.

I don’t even want to give a good review… because then everyone will know of this secret treasure !!! We’ve stayed here multiple times and we just love it !!!!

Very nice property, beautiful time of year to visit Vermont. Colors were wonderful.

The property was great and the property manager was extremely helpful. However there was a carpeter bee infestation in the roof and all the bees started coming into the house, which made it a safety issue and we had to get relocated. So it was not a good experience overall

We loved our stay.. TV doesn’t work… but we had everything we needed! Property is gorgeous! Very close to shops etc…

This house is one in a million. It is so private and set back from the road that it feels like you're on your own island while you're there, and yet, a few minute drive down the road, and you have shops and things to do galore. The house is huge and fits 12 easily. The kitchen is fully stocked with not only plates and bowls and regular items, but with all of the little things and gadgets you're use to having in your own kitchen (can openers, ice cube trays, serving platters, drink pitchers and waaaay more). Nighttime stargazers will be in heaven here, because when the sun goes down and you turn the lights off, it's so dark that you can see galaxies. The pond on the property wasn't exactly swimmable while we were there because there seemed to be a lot of over growth of the filtering plants (most likely due to the unprecedented amount of heavy rain the area got the week prior to our arrival). However, bomeseen state park is 5 minutes down the road and has an awesome swimming beach. The outdoor shower on the property was probably my favorite thing. It had great pressure, awesome air flow, and such a beautiful view from inside of it. Best showers I've ever taken! The firepit was very large and the log benches were a cute addition to it. It was so peaceful sitting around the fire, staring up at the stars. All in all, our family had a wonderful time at the bluebell lake retreat and we definitely plan on making it an annual trip!

The property is beautiful; a pristine lawn with many apple trees, a sugar shack, swings and a tree house, a pond with parent geese and 5 goslings greeted us upon arrival. Our family was renting this property to attend our daughter’s graduation from Castleton University. The house was the perfect size for our group. It was clean and welcoming. Our only complaint is about the beds. In the room next to the upstairs bathroom, one of the beds had no box springs and was extremely uncomfortable and the other bed was missing a wooden piece of the bed frame. The downstairs mattress was also uncomfortably hard which made for a sporadic sleep. That being said, everything else about the property was wonderful and we had an amazing weekend! Thank you

We (3 families) stayed here while visiting our family for Christmas. We grew up in the area so knew what to expect. It fit our basic needs- 4 large bedrooms (with very firm beds), 1.5 baths, dog friendly. The interior was a little worn but very clean. Plenty of fresh linens and towels. When we arrived, the house was a balmy 49 degrees. The upstairs heated up quickly but it seemed that the living room required the wood stove for heat (not preferred with small kids). The wood wasn’t stocked inside to get us started so we had to get it from outside (in the dark). I contacted through VRBO Messaging to see if we were doing something wrong with the heating unit but didn’t get a response. The driveway was plowed but the walkway and porch weren’t shoveled (and we couldn’t find a snow shovel) and there was no ice melt. There was only an inch or two of snow so it wasn’t unmanageable, just annoying. It seemed like the property management prepped the rental after the last renters but then never came back to check on it.The grill was blown over in the middle of the deck, a tree had fallen and broken on the house, the kitchen sink was leaking underneath (making the mat wet). I contacted using the Vacasa live agent but got no reply. The rental itself was fine for what we needed but it definitely seemed like it was a big company managing it with little invested in the property or guests’ stay.
