Nice property with a couple caveats

Generally a nice place to stay for a long weekend and enjoy a peaceful area. There were a few issues that made it difficult to justify the price:-Dishwasher was included in the listing but broken on arrival-No door separating the bathroom from the bedroom -There were dead ladybugs found all over, including the kitchen-Only two glasses, which without a dishwasher meant handwashing dishes multiple times a day -Numerous automated texts from the managing company offering "upsells" to extend our trip-Paint chipping off a number of the walls generally made the property feel less well-maintained.In hindsight, we may have stayed in that property but definitely not at the price we paid.

Anniversary Get-away

Loved the location and set up of this Carriage House. With some updates and a bit more cleaning, would have given it a 5*. Basically was clean - just some things that a last minute check by cleaning crew could have cleaned up and given a better first impression. Needs some maintenance issues done and it could be a 5*. But in spite of these things, we enjoyed our stay, loved the space and the views from the house.

Carriage house at The Garden

Small space perfect for 2 people. House was well kept and clean. We'll equipped with kitchen utensils to cook your own meals. Outdoor propane fire place perfect for quick sits by the fire but also enough to spend the night sitting by. Grill on the deck isn't fancy but sufficient for cooking on. The property was beautiful and had lots of room to explore or sit out by the pond as long as you bring lots of bug spray but typical for the area. Amazing that it is dog friendly, I think our dog enjoyed it the most out of all of us. Living room was perfect to spend a movie night on the couch. Perfect place to get away and have a quiet relaxing vacation but also close enough to all the stores and market. Would highly recommend and would return to stay here again.

Iconic Vermont view out your window

There’s not much I can say I absolutely loved staying at this property. Super comfy and very Vermont feel. I cannot say enough glowing things about this bucolic properly. From the rolling meadows to the mirror like reflections on the pond, tranquility and peace envelope you the minute you enter the property. The location is private but easily accessible and close to amenities as well. I give the Carriage House an A!

We booked the cottage for a quick ski trip and loved it! It was quaint and the location was peaceful after a long day on the slopes.

Very Little Instructions/Operational Directions

Couldn't find any intructions posted inside the guest house, which wiould've been extremely helpful. Also, the keypad code quit working so called Vacasa & got a new code. It didn't work either, so ended up using the lockbox code & used the key throughout our stay. Just one thing after another; first time we had this problem renting thru VRBO.

Carriage House Stay

We had a short but great time at the carriage house. The house itself is very clean and spacious. We brought our two dogs and it was plenty of space. The house has a great view of the mountains which was especially beautiful with the changing of the leaves. I would definitely stay again!
