North Hero Vacation Rental lodge

This was our first year we went to the house. It was fantastic and a bit of a surprise for the money we paid. We plan on going back again and again.

There were 6 couples and we all loved the house. The best surprises were the dishes. We could not believe how many pans and dishes were int he house. We had more than enough for all the home renters and our guest that came up to visit. The two large grills on the patio were a great addition. Being a chef, I loved the six burners in the kitchen. Found it odd that the cabinet panel was gone on the additional two burner but really enjoyed having all that space. We baked and cook our time away on the rainy day. The showers had great pressure and we never ran out of hot water. You are going to be surprised at the amount if seating area in the house and out of the house. Couches lined up and a hearth that is great for sitting. The dining table is a families dream come true. One of our night had the table brimming over with 16 people.

Bad news. The beds were pretty loud. I am not sure if this was the frames or the beds themselves. We all were laughing in the house cause everytime someone rolled over, the whole house could hear it happen. With that said, they were very comfortable and there were extra blankets in every closet. The patio door in the bedroom was locked. Three of the four patio doors opened but mine did not. It was a shame not to be able to sit out when the sun is coming up. Last item is the basement. I am living Colorado but I remember growing up in Vermont. This is not a huge deal but I would put something in the basement/crawl area below the house. There is a wicked mole/mildew smell coming out of the door next to the main floor bathroom. It happens...but should be addressed.

Overall, we loved this house, inside and out. The owner was responsive to our request for one more day, I talked to my family in Vermont and we hope to rent this again for our reunion. The amenities were well past what we thought would be there. Wi-Fi is not there and you will get little phone service there. Isn't that a DREAM when on vacation.
