The pictures are pretty accurate except a couple of the bedrooms were smaller than we thought, but everyone said the beds were comfortable. The master bedroom is awesome. The outdoor fireplace and patio are stunning. Thanks Craig for the extra wood and shoveling all that snow out before we got there...totally enjoyed it! The hot tub was great also. We were intrigued about the layout and construction of the house until we found an old photo of the original cabin in a drawer. We recommend framing that picture! The kitchen is outfitted well with lots of pots, pans, bowls, platters, and dishes...although the knives could have been sharper. A minor issue is that the dishwasher is on the dining room side which makes sense if you have a large gathering but not for the cook's and sous chefs. Another dishwasher in the galley would have been good. All in all a beautiful house with a beautiful view. We all said "we'd go back".
Owner's Response: Denny, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay at Simons House. We're glad to hear that you all had an enjoyable time and appreciated the accommodations overall. We do have our knives sharpened professionally and it sounds like they are due for their next honing. That will be done shortly.
We look forward to having you and your group as guests again when time allows.
Paul, Vicki and Craig

Excellent House
Submitted: February 6, 2013

The house was great. The dinning area is huge and very nice. We used that space a lot as well as the awesome hot tub outside. Great views day and night. Nice kitchen. The drive to Mt Snow was easy. The owner/caretaker were quick to respond and very helpful. Literally my only complaint would be that the beds could be more comfortable. But the house is so nice its not close to a deal breaker. I would definitely stay again without question. But the people reading this review should probably not stay.... I'd like it to be available when I need it. Thanks.
Owner's Response: Jason, Thanks for your honest thoughts about Simons House. While this is the first comment we have received about the comfort of our beds we can assure you that we will be adding mattress toppers to the ones that we believe you may be referring to, shortly. We hope you will come back when you can and experience the improvement. We're happy to hear that your visit was pleasant and worthy of repeating. Regards Paul, Vicki and Craig

Nomadness Travel Tribe Weekend Getaway
Submitted: January 29, 2013

This place was amazing!!!! Craig was great if we needed anything, including directions. We got lost. A bit difficult to find if using Google Maps or Mapquest simply because there are so many side streets to potentially go down. Just keep Craig's # nearby and you'll get there. This place was nicknamed The Fortress on our trip. Heated floors, outdoor spa, floors of rooms, and an aesthetic that only enhances the view on the outside. Stunning property. Don't bet on cell phone reception, and if you are going to ski at Mount Snow, easiest route is Rt.9 West to Rt. 100 that'll take you right into town to the mountain. Don't follow directions through local roads. Other than that, kick back, relax, and enjoy the getaway. I will definitely be back.

An amazing and wonderfully warm house. My son celebrated his 21st birthday here with family and we could not have chosen a better destination. Beautiful and yet cozy and filled with art from around the world. Large hot tub was well used as was the outdoor fireplace. Many fun and happy memories made in this gorgeous setting. Thanks to Craig the caretaker who was helpful and very friendly and to Paul the owner for creating this amazing getaway estate.

Wonderful Vacation Home in Southern Vermont
Submitted: November 29, 2012
Stayed: October 2012
We stayed at this home over a long weekend for a family reunion. Over the past few years, our children have married and our home isn't large enough to host our reunions anymore so we try to find a nice place to rent each year that will accommodate our family. The pictures in the listing only begin to tell the story of how special this house is. All of us were unanimous in saying this is where we want to come back to every year.
This house has everything you could need, the kitchen is well-appointed and whatever we looked for during the weekend we found, even a shaker to make martinis. The view from the patios is quintessential Vermont and the layout of the home allowed everyone to find their special space to relax and enjoy the weekend. The hot tub was enjoyed by all and the outdoor fireplace was a gathering point for us in the evening around a cozy fire.
The property manager met us the first day and provided all the information we would need to make this a very special weekend, to include providing a nice plate of cookies to start the weekend off right.
We give our highest recommendation to anyone who is considering this property for a peaceful getaway in the country. We are eagerly anticipating our next stay at this stunning residence.

Excellent getaway

This stunning house is everything the other reviews describe and more. You will love the postcard views, the cook's kitchen, the grand and comfortable dining room, the sweeping patios and the 8-person hot tub. (And the attached three-car garage, if you visit in colder months.)
As others have noted, the owner and property manager were fantastically responsive, both before and during our visit. Minor issues (e.g. the grill was finicky, and our pancetta set off a smoke detector) were addressed promptly, thoroughly and with good humor. Believe them when they say you get no mobile reception. But for a true getaway, consider it a feature, not a bug. And if you must remain tethered, the house features both Wi-Fi and a land line.
Our group of six guys had an amazing weekend, and we look forward to returning for the next stay with our wives.

Great Weekend, Amazing Place

So this house was everything I expected and more. The view alone is worth staying at this house. It has plenty of bedrooms, nice kitchen and dining room. However I stayed outside almost the whole time. There is a patio and deck with a hot tub and grill basically everything you would want. It was very quiet with a perfect view of the sunset. The decorations in the house are also amazing, you could walk around and just gander for days. The property manager and owner were both very nice and helpful. The property manager even brought us coffee in the morning. I recommend this to anyone trying to have a get away. It was hard to leave that is for sure.

We stayed at the Simon House for a long weekend during a family wedding and I cannot say enough about how fabulous this house is. The house was everything we expected and more. The owner has thought of everything one might need during their stay, including a tin of fresh cookies (which were delicious) and flowers upon our arrival. The property manager was very helpful in showing us around and told us if we needed anything just to call. The Simon house is probably the most unique property I have ever seen and is decorated with beautiful art and furnishings . There is something new to see/find around every corner, including a mini lookout tower overlooking the dining room, which the kids loved! Besides the house, the view was gorgeous. I can only imagine what it looks like in the fall. I honestly could go on and on about what a wonderful property this is. Other than not being the most child friendly I cannot think of one negative thing to say about the property (we had a 10 month old and a 2 year old with us, but if you just keep an eye on the kids they will be fine). If you are ever staying in this area and need a rental you must stay in this house. I know we will definitely be back!
Owner's Response: This recent guest describes Simons House the way we would hope anyone would experience it. It is our goal to make all of our guests feel at home and to assure that they have everything they need for a pleasant stay at our house. Years of thought have gone into its design and furnishing.
We are accustomed to people remarking about the comfort, fine workmanship and serene setting of Simons House. Our dedicated team will continue to keep it beautifully groomed and maintained for guests as caring and appreciative as these 11 considerate people from Indiana.
