Recent Testimonial: Stephanie & Marc.-- We had a glorious time. We loved the downstairs great room and especially loved reading and looking at Claire and the mountains from the upstairs great room. We all slept like babies!!!!! It was such fun watching the birds and the red squirrel flitting about outside. Torben loved snowshoeing on your property. -- Thanks for providing such a wonderful larder with spices, oils, rice (which I used), teas and Green Mtn Coffee which I love. I did the cooking and they cleaned up! -- Thank you also for being the 'parents' for the rescued animals. We have friends who live in Woodstock, VT and the wife is totally committed to taking animals out of abusive homes. She even has an 'in-house' kennel where she can keep animals for a limited amount of time until they can be given a home. You are doing a great thing and Claire must be thankful to have you care for her. We loved hearing her 'talking' to Marc! -- Thank you so much. -- April & Torben

What a great experience!

Kendall & Sheila Essex, VT
Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Everyone should go and visit Mark and Stephanie at least once! My wife and I stayed at the house while I enjoyed a moose hunt up north with my brother. These folks are inkeepers par-excellence.....extremely personable, genuine, customer-oriented and more than willing to do what it takes to make your stay wonderful. It felt like home as soon as we got there, and we hated to leave. They had a lot of the little things that make a home, well, home....band-aids in the bathroom and spices in the kitchen, things like that. The picture window upstairs is incredible, you can't beat the wood heat, and their critters provided hours of entertainment. We can't say enough good things about them! It was a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy quality time reading or talking, walks on the property, recharging the batteries. We also found a great maple place in nearby Glover that kept us stuffed with maple candies....Yum! We did some sightseeing around the Northeast Kingdom, and the scenery is awesome....pretty close to Crystal Lake in Barton and Lake Willoughby. Better rent your week quick.....we're going back!
Owner's Response: Kendall, Sheila et al. were great -- "easy keepers" as horse people say. Folks like this we offer extra days on us because we don't want them to go!
