This property did not disappoint! The house is very true to the photographs (better in person if possible), spacious and has plenty of room for all. The kitchen is very well stocked and the location can't be beat. Great communications from the property manager. A+++.

This house is a little off the main road so it is quiet and secluded. The bedrooms were spacious and the house was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this house and rent it again when we return to Middlebury.

Stunning home! The location was perfect for walking into town or to the Middlebury campus. The kitchen was fully equipped to cook up dinner for my son and his teammates. I look forward to returning whenever I am visiting Middlebury.

Hosteeva was responsive, but be aware that the maintenance guy listed in the check in instructions doesn’t actually work on the property anymore.
Comfortable, great location, spacious. Not a cozy Vermont cabin.
Note; Wood stove is not available for use.

We had a great time! The location is very close to the college and walkable to downtown. The house was spotless and plenty of space (and entertainment!) for multiple families with little kids. We will definitely be back. Thanks!!

This is a beautiful home in a perfect location -- right on the banks of Otter Creek and a short walk from town. The new renovations of the interior are fabulous. Spacious kitchen, hardwood floors, open floorplan and large picture windows throughout. Very cozy and comfortable. The only thing missing is a BBQ grill. I can't wait to see how you finish the home's final room!

Perfect walking distance from all Middlebury has to offer. Tried to rent again for next year’s family weekend, but it was already booked….probably because it is so great!

Overall very nice. Overall very satisfied. Definitely recommended. Nicely furnished, nice kitchen and large/small appliances and dishes/cookware. (My only real suggestion is that it would have been nice if the property had air conditioning. Although heat is not generally a big problem in Vermont, AC would be nice for those times when the temperature rises above average. There were fans available in the house which were helpful. Fortunately, it almost always cools down at night.)

The house feels like a treehouse, tranquil and completely removed the hustle and bustle yet an easy walk to town and campus. The main floor is open and tastefully decorated with zero personal clutter yet well stocked with games, books and travel guides. We were there for the in person graduation for Middlebury students who graduated in 2020 & 2020.5 (Febs). When I initially booked the reservation the algorithm hadn't adjusted for demand. It was possible to find the house advertised for as little as $289 a night but by the time I had adjusted the booking the rate jumped 3x. Still the house was worth it.

Restful Retreat
This place is just wonderful! The home is thoughtfully laid out, really much like a gallery. Stunning framed oil paintings grace virtually every room.
The house has windows that look out on the river and fill the house with light. During our visit a pair of Canadian geese were tending to a next.
It was a wonderfully restful two days--can't recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely, natural light filled rooms, beautifully appointed home. Comfortable beds, linens and towels. Our visit was too short!
Only issue- we had to call property manager for correct door code- quickly remedied!

Fantastic property - spacious, comfortable, and an amazing view
This place was beautiful and right in the heart of Middlebury. It is a 15-20 walk or 2 minute drive to the downtown area. We had a great stay. It is extremely spacious and beautifully decorated. There is a giant window in the front room which overlooks the river. The house is very well stocked and has everything that you might need. Can definitely recommend this home! Gorgeous!
