Perfect!

The cottage we stayed at was absolutely lovely. It was so peaceful sitting on the porch each morning. The lake was great for fishing. Rose was very communicative. Upon our return my husband thanked me for finding a dream come true vacation.

Relaxing Family Vacation

My family loved our time at Rose's place! It is well-stocked with fans, life jackets, water floats, etc., and the view from the porch and the yard is incredible. My family spent a lot of time on, or in, the water, which is very swimmable around the dock. An umbrella and lots of games and DVD's are also provided, so we even enjoyed a rainy day at the lake. We recommend both Ramunto's Pizza and The Avocado Pit in Bennington for take-out. Rose was great at communicating, both before and during our stay. My family enjoys discovering new places, so it is rare that we return to a place we have rented. However, both my husband and my daughter have asked me to rent this place again at some point in the future. We had a great stay!

Relaxing week at the cabin

This is the perfect spot for a getaway. The cabin was spotless, and everything was there that we needed to enjoy the week. The weather was interesting, but we had plenty of sunny hours. Rose was always available and kept us up on the road conditions. A couple trips to town and seeing some of the history there. Norman Rockwell fans here.The Sugar Shack in Arlington was a delight for us.

Great week at the lake

We enjoyed our week. The cottage worked out great - it is quaint and “old timey” - kept clean and well appointed. We spent a lot of time in and around the water - which is so nice and not full of weeds. We also especially enjoyed the back porch room and the deck. The sound of the road - 18 wheelers especially - is present, but it is what it is and certainly not in the control of the owner. Speaking of the owner, Rose is great at communicating and made sure our stay was comfortable. We had a great week!

Quaint and cozy

This is exactly what my husband and I were hoping for. A peaceful getaway on a lake. We had a wonderful time. I can’t say enough about Rose. Every time I reached out to her from the start of booking till our last day, she responded in a timely, helpful manner. We ran into one minor problem, which she addressed immediately. Thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with us.

A relaxing place to be

We enjoyed our five days at this clean and comfortable lake house a lot, especially the view of the lake from the dining room table each morning and throughout the day when we weren't out and about taking in many things in the Bennington area. We were there the last part of September, and although it was on the cool side, the house was always warm -- great furnace! The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed when we were eating in. We blew a fuse once and had an issue with the TV, but both situations were resolved quickly. Furnishishings are simple but adequate. We would stay here again; it is a relaxing place to be. Thank you, Rose!

The Perfect Lake Cabin

The cabin is cute, cozy, has everything you need, and the lake is steps away. The fishing is fantastic (smallmouth, largemouth, giant pickerel) and the kids LOVED swimming and kayaking all day. It's our second time staying here and there will likely be a third.

Lovely house and lake

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house and appreciated the lovely quilts and paintings and other decorative objects throughout. Breakfast overlooking the lake, either on the outside porch or the enclosed porch, was a delight every day. We swam several times each day in the clear water of Big Pond, just steps from the house, and we noted that the lawn has both sun and shade all day long. There was a gorgeous sunset on our first night (but unfortunately cloudy evenings thereafter). Woodford is an easy drive to Bennington and Manchester, where it was fun to browse in the shops.

Great vacation getaway

We really enjoyed our week stay in Woodford. Rose was easy to reach when we needed her, the property was campy (in a good way) but clean and well-appointed, was everything we needed to relax. My only "issue" (if you could even call it that) is the property is fairly close to RT9, although set back, so we didn't feel super comfortable allowing our dogs off leash. That being said the proximity to Rt 9 is also nice, sitting right between cute, quaint Wilmington and well-appointed Bennington. Very close to Woodford state park with easy hiking. Would very much recommend Rose's place for a family getaway.

Great family trip!

We had a great time at Rose’s cottage for our first family vacation. We stayed for almost a week, and really enjoyed ourselves. We had two little boys (3 year old and 1.5 year old) myself, my husband and our chocolate lab. There was plenty of space for us to stretch out inside but we spent most of our time outside in the pond. The kitchen was really well stocked and the backyard was great!

A Little Slice of Paradise

This cottage gave us the ideal lake getaway. It was clean, cozy, and the lake was very peaceful. Its close to several nice day hikes, and close enough to town if you need supplies. Rose is also highly responsive. I very much recommend this property for your next vacation!

Great getaway

As advertised, Rose made sure we were all set before we came in and followed up to make sure everything was OK, We had a great time kayaking on the lake, cooking out on the grill and relaxing at the fire pit, stores and restaurants within 15 minutes either way. We will definitely be back! Thank you Rose!

Relaxing August Getaway

The cottage was exactly as described. A great place for a nice relaxing getaway. This property has one of the better dock locations on the Big Pond. Had a lot of fun in the 2 person kayak with my 7 year old. The outdoor string lights over the fire pit were a nice touch as was the outdoor speakers connected to the receiver on the sun porch. The grill was ready to go with propane. Thankfully, we had perfect weather so the temp inside the cottage was comfortable. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Perfect getaway

The cottage was absolutely clean and had everything you need for a nice family getaway. The location near Bennington was fabulous for unique restaurants, familiar shopping and historical sights. It was too cool for us to go for a swim but the lake was clean and very pretty. Neighbors friendly too!
