Great stay at the Stonecutters cottage
We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed the house. We especially enjoyed the rich history about the house and people that lived there. The hosue maintays its character while still maintaining most of the modern features we enjoy. The owners greeted us when we arrived and explained to us everything we needed to know. They were great hosts!

Restful cottage
The perfect place to rest, relax and unplug from the daily chaos. The cottage was cozy and homey. It slept 4 adults easily. Enjoying coffee every morning on the front porch was my favorite part of the stay.

Family gathering
This property was easy access to where our local travels were planned. We had planned a small family gathering after a funeral and more out of state relatives showed up than we expected so this gave us a place to gather afterwards. Unfortunately the fall colors on the trees weren't quite turning yet so we missed the vibrant fall that you expect in Vermont

Family time before college drop off
This was the perfect cottage for time together before we dropped our daughter off for college. We wanted to spend our extra day exploring Vermont but the cottage was perfect for puzzles, walks, and a homemade dinner. Thank you to Kathi for the loan of a cane when I forgot mine. Generous and kind, as well as helpful. Perfect porch for reading and room for everyone.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023
