We just returned from our fifth visit to the tree farm and looking forward to going back. We have been there in the winter when the snow is deep and in the spring when the farm is green and the smell of fresh evergreen fills every breath you take. Any time of year this place is absolutely beautiful and tranquil. Our labs enjoyed swimming in the pond every day while we enjoyed the quiet walks, beautiful sunsets and just relaxing. Peter and Claudia are wonderful hosts and we are happy to call them friends. We enjoy visiting with them during our stay. If you want to get away from traffic, the daily hustle and bustle and you enjoy nature, then this is the place for you. Just imagine sitting on a knoll, listening to a babbling brook, looking out over a meadow down to a pond and feeling the sun on your face. I feel my shoulders drop and relax a little just thinking of being there.

This cottage is perfect--skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding right out your front door. The owner was very helpful, and the cottage was spotless. Highly recommended!

Peter and Claudia assisted us with playing "Santa" for our kids this Christmas! We walked into the house to the smell of our very own cut Christmas tree and Christmas music in the background. What a great present that was! This is our second season renting here and we couldn't be happier with the location, the house itself and Peter & Claudia! Thank you so much!

We stayed this past summer...what a great place and great people to deal with. Peter was so accommodating and the property peaceful.

Sitting at breakfast the first morning we witnessed a moose running within 150 feet out the double doors. It stopped..and then kept running. I've spend 15 years coming to New England and never witnessed a moose.

The property itself was very very clean and tidy. The access to walking through the tree farm to the top and enjoying a great view was amazing....take a picnic lunch to enjoy!

We want to come back for sure..this time in the winter as well.

My wife and I and our three year old daughter stayed in this house for a week in August, 2009. In almost every regard, the house and the experience exceeded our expectations.

The house itself is very clean and comfortable. Contemporary but with character. Full kitchen, comfortable beds, even internet and telephone. The property is beautiful. There is a trail around the perimeter of the farmed trees which we walked every day, discovering wild blueberries and raspberries to our daughter's delight. The pond is amazing. Clean and beautiful and we all swam in it several times a day (I wouldn't call it small, btw. Plenty big to swim laps if you want.) The house is situated very privately and is almost entirely quiet. There is a farm across the street and there was occasional activity there, but nothing noisy. From the house, you can't see the farm structures and they can't see you, so it feels very private.

Peter and Claudia, the owners, are perfect hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and otherwise left us completely alone. (Even before we got there, Peter was a pleasure to do business with.) From the little that we talked, I wished that we could have spent more time talking with them (We invited them to look us up if they ever come down to New York City).

We could have spent the entire week very happily just staying at the house, but for variety, we did do a couple of short trips. We went to a popular lake to swim (Crystal Lake. To my mind, overrated, especially when you have your own private pond!) We visited the Bread and Puppet theater in Glover, which was amazing. And don't miss the general store in Glover. We went to Johnson Woolen Mills for a little winter wear shopping. And there is a fantastic food co-op / health food store in the next town over, the name of which escapes me (Peter knows it.) But mostly we relaxed around the house and pond. It was a real treat for us, coming from NYC, that our daughter could run off on her own through the meadow, picking wild flowers.

In short: I highly recommend this property if you want a comfortable, extremely quiet, private, beautiful, relaxing getaway. We look forward to getting back there for more of the same.

My wife and daughter and I stayed here for 3 days in early August and it was beautiful! The pond was great ... I caught several native Brook Trout. The house is fairly secluded and there are acres of Trees to roam around and experience nature. Be sure the outdoor grill is working as we could not get it turned on. The cabin is well stocked and the W/D was a lifesaver.

We stayed at this cottage for a summer girls' getaway weekend with our dogs. The cottage's owner, Peter, was helpful and available to us (before, during, and after our stay), but not intrusive. The cottage had all the modern conveniences and was very clean. Its location was quiet and private. There was an incredible amount of land to roam around on on the property, so we rarely left the premises since we and our dogs could entertain ourselves and exercise so easily. Apart from our hikes, we enjoyed relaxing by the pond, making s'mores in the fire pit, watching the sun set behind the mountains, and BBQing. We will definitely be back!

This place is so beautiful. There was snow on the ground when we got there and it snowed a little more each day which only added to the beauty of the farm. We walked all over the christmas tree farm and through the woods every day with our labs. It is so peaceful, you can stand on the hill in the morning as the sun rises or in the late afternoon as the sun sets and you don't hear a sound other than a bird chirping. The cottage is rustic and unique but also has everything you would need. There are plenty of nearby towns and villages for shopping and dining out. You can snow shoe, cross country ski and snow mobile on trails all around the farm. The owners are very gracious and made us feel welcomed and at home right away. Our dogs enjoyed the week as much as we did and when it came time to leave there were a lot of sad faces. We will definitely go back to vacation at the tree farm again. Our Christmas tree this year is from the farm and every day I look at it and remember the most perfect vacation in Vermont!!!
