Amazing outdoor space, but wouldn’t book again

The outdoor space is amazing. The pool is beautiful, with seating and a sandy “beach” area. Overall, we loved the outside. But, here’s what I wish I knew before: 1 - The house is not especially clean. I was disappointed with the dust and cobwebs in corners, on light fixtures, etc. Beware arachnophobes - this house has quite a few spiders. I know country living comes with bugs, but these ones were in webs (inside and out) that had clearly been there quite a while. The downstairs bathroom also had an odor, as did the dining area, particularly when the AC was switched off. For the price point, I expected better. 2 - The stairs are steep, and the banister feels loose. There’s also a gap between the railing and wall at the top which a small child/dog could fall through. There is a safety gate, though I don't think it could block the stairway and that strange gap. The hallway banister also feels loose and low. 3 - The property is big, but there are houses close on both sides. Not a deal-breaker, but I expected more seclusion. 4 - You might have to deal with a surprise pool cleaning. We were enjoying the pool one afternoon when a pool service arrived. We thought there was a mistake, but after messaging Eileen, we learned it wasn’t. It seemed entirely bizarre to me, but apparently she can’t anticipate when they’ll show up. Any sort of heads-up on this from Eileen would’ve been nice. Overall, the pool is great (when it’s not being serviced), but we wouldn’t go back.

Perfect Disconnect

My wife and I enjoyed our stay tremendously. The pool was great, the abundant land, trails and mountain views beautiful and the cottage extremely cozy, well appointed and clean. I also loved having the gas grill available for daily cooking outside. We also appreciated the owner’s warm welcome for our two well-behaved Himalayan cats, who also enjoyed the cottage. Very private and very quiet location. We would definitely come again. Our hosts were extremely responsive in answering all questions. Thanks, Gunther and Eileen.

Mountain Top Cottage

The outside property was beautiful. The pool was lovely. The cottage is Shabby Chic Rustic with modern amenities. The negatives were the banister going up the stairs was loose and the upstairs railing seemed short to me. The owners were quick to respond to questions. It was a restful time.

Private and perfect

Having the pool and a private beautiful yard was literally the most relaxing vacation ever. Ac units worked really well. The trials out back were beautiful and peaceful to walk. This is in the woods and yes there are spiders and bugs but I brought a repellent spray and that really helped keep them at bay. Will definitely want to come back

Our Stay

We had a very relaxing stay. It is very quiet, has a wonderful view, has practically everything needed. Do any major supplies shopping before you come, as you will be at least 30 minutes from any major shopping area. The potential downsides to be aware of: the master bedroom mattress is a bit lumpy, the AC consists of window units that aren’t sealed as tight as they could be, leading to a variety of insects in the upstairs rooms at night, and with a large wall of windows facing South in the living room, it gets quite hot in the summer. The AC can’t always keep up. However these downsides are very small compared with all the positives. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, the woods, the lack of noise, the peace, the available grill. We would gladly rent again, though one of my kids has an insect phobia which may prevent it. It has a stacked washer and dryer which work well. Very relaxing vacation overall. Very happy we rented this location, it more than met our expectations, and lived up to the good reviews and descriptions online.

Wonderful birthday weekend

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Mountain Top Cottage. The cottage itself is lovely, and then you top it off with the gorgeous property. On the night we arrived there was a double rainbow over the distant mountains, which started things off on an amazing tone. We then thoroughly enjoyed the pool, trails through the meadows (with all the abundant butterflies, birds and other wildlife -- even the group of turkeys), and the fire pit area. What a great way to get away and enjoy time with the family. It was a perfect celebration for my daughter's 11th birthday.

So peaceful and beautiful

Yes, it was peaceful and beautiful and also a lot of fun. We were 4 adults but it was obvious that a small family with young children would have a blast. When you walk around to the back of the house passing the gazebo you will be greeted by a spectacular view of fields, trees and mountains. For me walking through the expansive fields of wildflowers by way of numerous wide trails mowed through them was how I started and ended my day. This city girl could not get enough of the birds, flowers and other small wildlife. One day I accidentally startled a turkey that in turn scared me as it flew off into the trees beyond. The pool was refreshing and my husband, a former boy scout, loved building a fire in the fire pit nightly. The house was just the right size for the 4 of us and very comfortable as well as pretty. The linens and towels are pristine white which I love. The furniture is of good quality and the beds were very comfy. The owners were easily reached to answer questions. We were made to feel very welcome and we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful views and restful property

Our family had a great time at this property. It was beautiful and the view is just breathtaking. The pool area was lovely, just a note that if you do bring a dog they are not allowed in the pool area. Thankfully they had a tether our dog to go on to sit right by the pool entrance. As he doesn’t like being away from us. Overall the property more than that our needs and everything was great.This is a well loved house and rustic. We had a lot of fun walking the grounds and spent most of our time outside the house. Be careful of texts we pulled many of our dog and our kids each night. Is the price you pay for being in the country. Overall a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Mountain Cabin Getaway from NYC

Our group of friends had a great time at this cabin. The property is massive with beautiful views, and the private pool was a lifesaver in the heat. The owners were super accomodating and brought up some pool furniture cushions and even helped us hook up an AC unit during this change of season. We enjoyed the fire pits at night and exploring the property during the day. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Host profile image
We purchased this house for a summer home as a young family starting out in 2001. We have since had 3 children and are so happy with the amount of amazing memories we have made. Getting the kids back to nature and away from technology gadgets as much as possible has kept them grounded. Now much older and with very busy extra curricular activities through out the school year and even into summer we find were not able to use the house as much as we would like to. Therefore, we found VRBO to be a great alternative to utilize it & to be able to afford others the same experiences. We know your family will enjoy your time spent here. This is where moments become memories.

Why they chose this property

This property is very private and secluded. With its own private swimming pool open from Memorial to Labor day. We are dog lovers and have 2 ourselves, therefore, we allow others to bring their dogs as we know they are part of the family.

What makes this property unique
