however the cottage itself was great
It wasn't as peaceful as we expected it to be when enjoying time outside grilling or by the campfire

all the amenities you could need and a wonderful space to visit by the fire pit
Cottage is roomy and just as described with a wonderful loft
Cleanliness:
Everything was exactly as advertised
We loved the gas fireplace and the cottage was very clean and cozy
Host:
John made accommodations in a scramble to make sure it was cleaned as someone just left Great host
The only negative thing I could say about this cabin is that there is a gas stove and the oven is very very small
During our stay it happened during a very hot and humid time As long as the wind was blowing the right way
and they didn't bother us )
What a beautiful location and the cottage was far more than we had expected
Location:
Definitely a great place to get away from the busyness of life
It's small and efficient and is certainly in a beautiful area
It is within minutes if the general store in Craftsbury Commons and only a short bit further to the College
It was the perfect "quiet escape" for a pair of city slickers
House was just as advertised; quaint but with charm
