My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. The listing accurately describes the space. We enjoyed kayaking and hanging out at the pond. The property is centrally located and was close to a lot of things to explore. Mary was very friendly and provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay.

The place is listed as 500 sq ft, but space is used very efficiently so it appears much larger than it is. The cottage and property are clean and well taken care of. The backyard has lots of activities for families. The sunset are stars are beautiful. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time here. Mary is a gracious host. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to unwind
The location of this cottage is perfect for anyone wanting to go out and explore. It’s located about 40 min to an hour from places to explore, with waterfalls and little towns along the way. Mary was wonderful, we thankfully didn’t need anything from her during our stay, but we always knew she was available. My family of four (including a 2 and 4 year old) stayed in the cottage. The boys slept in the futon on the main floor and used the loft to play. We swam in the pond and the boys loved playing in the dirt and stone with their trucks. There’s kayaks available, a zip line, a hammock and many other games/things to do outside right on the property. We definitely will be contacting Mary to stay here again if we decide to come back to Vermont!

What an amazing place. The location was secluded and private and the views spectacular. Mary was right next door which, to us, was great because she was a treasure-trove of information and a very kind and gracious host. The pond and landscape were very neat and nicely kept. Plenty of outdoor activities to do - kayaking, volleyball, soccer, a row boat, a fire pit and places for short walks. It's perfect. We had two little kids (a 4 year old and a 10 month old), and both were entertained by the great outdoors. The home itself was just the right size. Overall, we had a great time in a great location.

The home was so sweet and very clean. Organized and worked well. We had an issue with the fridge and Mary was very gracious and helpful. Lots of fun activities to occupy kids. Zip line a hit!

Cute cabin on a hill
My family enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is cute, cozy and clean. We loved boating & picnicking at the private pond.

We had such a lovely stay here! The cottage itself is clean, cozy and perfect for a family stay. It is quiet, surrounded by green, private (even with the host's house not too far). There are so many fun activities down by the pond and picnic area that you don't really need to leave. But if you do venture out it's not too far for some waterfalls, hikes, and even yummy tacos in Waitsfield about 20 mins away. It was too cold during our stay to make use of the kayaks and swimming in the pond but we enjoyed roasting some marshmallows over the fire pit, reading and playing in the hammock, tried the zip line and a few lawn activities. Up at the cottage I enjoyed reading and doing yoga on the sunny private back deck, My son loved the sleeping loft and we all enjoyed heating the cool nights with the cozy fire in the gas stove. Mary was very approachable and helpful. We hope to come again!!

My stay lasted less than 24 hours. Since my issues, the owner has changed the listing. When I booked, it was not clear that she would be sharing the property with my family and I. Very uncomfortable to arrive to a vacation spot, thinking you will have privacy, and learn you have to share the space with a complete stranger and her dog. The "private lake" was really a glorified pond and was full of leeches. The video and pictures were very misleading. My children came out covered in them when they tried to go swimming.
With her on the property and with swimming not on the table, we decided to leave 1st thing the following AM, even though we were booked for the week. Mary seemed very nice and understanding, and promised send me a check for her portion of the booking fee if we did not contact VRBO. You probably see where this is going...
After a few weeks, I tried to contact Mary but she was a unresponsive. VRBO informed me that there was nothing they could do since I did not call them immediately (at Mary's request!). I tried disputing the charges through my credit card company, but they could not do anything either. Mary lied to VRBO, stating that I was "aggressive and scary" and that I left the apartment a huge mess on purpose. Both statements are bald-faced lies.
If you do not mind leeches or sharing a property with an unethical liar, book away.

Great cabin for Sugarbush ski trip
My two friends and I (30's) rented the cabin for a long weekend and it had everything we needed. Very clean, organized and comfortable living space. Mary was very accomodating and lives next door should guests need anything. 4WD/AWD needed to get there via unpaved access road.

Second stay at this property and would highly recommend for a couple or small family. Great location, private, and close to ski mountain for our vacation.

Great cozy spot to help us through the winter!
We spent a little work-cation up here and really enjoyed the time. Mary was super responsive and welcoming. High speed wifi worked great for our working days. We loved the proximity to ski areas (mostly sugarbush, but even went down to killington for a day). We also had fun snowshoeing on trails in the woods behind the house! Definitely would come back.

Awesome get-away
The cottage was a perfect place for a pandemic get-away with my grad school roommate and her family. The weather was awful and skiing not much better, but we enjoyed evenings by the fire, cooking together and just catching up. The surrounding towns are adorable and we enjoyed shopping (though we would have rather skied!). But I would definitely go back. Mary was wonderful. Right next door. We chatted, but I didn't need her for anything. Everything was thought of ahead of time.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. The cottage is located in an area that is just perfect for anyone who is just wanting to enjoy the beautiful state of Vermont. Mary has everything one needs in the cottage, and is just a phone call away if you need her. I would highly recommend this charming little cottage!

A Fabulous Fall Getaway
The cottage was perfectly appointed in every way. The grounds including pond and walking trail were beautiful. The location is convenient to skiing, numerous walking trails, waterfalls, and quaint small towns.

Charming and Peaceful
Warm and cozy. We used this “cabin” as home base for a few day trips to Stowe and Montpelier. No USCellular service (as advertised), but WiFi worked flawlessly. Gas fireplaces kept the whole place comfy as nights grew chilly. Firm mattress - we almost asked if we could take it with us! Perfect for 2 (kids need to understand fireplaces get hot!). The outdoor amenities looked nice albeit a bit chilly for us to swim. Friendly host.

Nice quiet retreat. Adequate cottage with just enough space. We're simple people and appreciate simple things. Did we say quiet??? So peaceful. Great time using the firepit too. Mary is a gem too and very accommodating. Sunny her dog......sweet sweet older gal. After being holed up for 19 months, we surely needed this get-away.

Wonderful spot for a relaxing weekend away. Quiet and relaxing, but with plenty to do. The kids loved the zip line and the kayaks. Mary made the check in process easy and had a binder ready for our late arrival with all the information we needed. You could spend the whole time relaxing on the property but there is also plenty of opportunities for activities in the area. We will hopefully be back next year.

Wonderful spot to spend time relaxing. Check in and check out was easy, a binder was ready for all the info we required. The kids loved the kayaks and zip line. You could spend all your time relaxing on the property but there is also plenty to do in the surrounding area. Lost power for a few hours (due to a thunderstorm) and the generator clicked on within minutes…a real bonus when traveling with kids. Perfect spot to unwind and relax.

Sweet cottage and idyllic setting for a getaway. The back yard was amazing—complete with a fabulous pond, floats, a dock, a firepit and lawn games to play. Our host was always available to answer questions and she let us pick blueberries, too!

Family trip to Vermont countryside
Thanks to Mary and Sunny for a great summer stay in Granville! The guest house was perfectly appointed and the kids liked the loft area. We enjoyed the lake and use of the rowboat and kayaks, the zipline for the kids, seeing nature up close at the property. Mary's place is well located near quaint towns and amenities and other swimming holes too. We would stay again!

Beautiful cottage and property
We had a wonderful time and our daughter especially loved the zip line. Beautiful waterfalls near by too.
