Beautiful view, very private
With kids ·
Green Mountain Retreat
We had a great stay at this cabin and would absolutely come back. One of the things I appreciated most is how private it is—unlike many other rentals, there are no additional sites on the property, so the cabin and the surrounding space are entirely yours. The cabin itself is exactly as described, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. What truly stood out to me, though, was how welcome we felt. As an immigrant, I’m very intentional about choosing places where my family—and really anyone from a minority background—can feel safe and respected. This was definitely one of those places. The owners are genuinely kind, good people, and it shows in the way they host. A lovely bonus: they make their own maple syrup, which you can purchase during your stay. And the views are beautiful—you can see the mountains right from the cabin, which made mornings and evenings especially memorable. Overall, a peaceful, welcoming place that I’d highly recommend.

Camping With Reactive Dogs ❤️

Green Mountain Retreat
My husband & I stayed in John & Pattie’s cabin for his birthday, and we brought our 3 dogs! We typically choose secluded sites as our dogs are very weary/nervous of strangers and like their space. This cabin was the perfect spot for them! A heads up; they give you warnings via signage in the cabin and i will warn you as well; there are a LOT of ticks! it’s the woods, there’s gonna be ticks but we’d use a sticky roller & find one every time we were outside on the dogs. just get a good flea & tick for them 👌 there is a cast iron stove that kept us extremely warm during the below freezing nights, & our hosts provided all the wood for the inside stove which was so kind. on our way home to philadelphia, we stopped by a local dispensary and met some of the nicest people. we’d never been to vermont before & this was an amazing first experience. everyone we’d met there was sooo nice, starting with our hosts John & Pattie! we bought some of their homemade maple syrup (HIGHLY recommend)! John also came up to the cabin to check on us & surprised our dogs, (our dogs don’t love strange men… apologies again, john!) and he responded exactly as one should when approached by barking, nervous dogs. it was refreshing and while i’m upset with my dogs for running up to him, it’s nice to see someone who understands how to interact with dogs. thank you so much for having us, we will be back for a winter camp next season ❤️

This little getaway was the perfect little adventure for my boyfriend’s birthday. The hosts were so helpful, giving us the option to purchase fire wood for the wood stove. We didn’t think we’d need it but the brisk mornings and breezy sunsets gave us the perfect opportunity to get cozy. The view left us stunned as we do not experience anything like it in our small Mass town. We cannot wait to plan another trip here to experience every season!

We stayed 2 nights with our 2 dogs in March. The weather was colder than usual, both nights below freezing temps outside. The wood stove had no issue keeping the inside of the cabin very warm despite the cold (accidentally let it get up to 80+ degrees and had to open windows). We brought all of our usual camping gear because I like it be overly prepared but didn't need most of it at all. Would have been fine if we just brought food and clothing everything else is provided. Very quiet and secluded feel with a nice view overlooking valley below and mountain across the valley. Good view of the sky and no light pollution. Great trip very relaxing was able to put phones away and unwind.

We love love loved to spot. We spent Christmas here and got several inches of snow - with the wood-burning stove we were so cozy. And the views are to die for. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏼

INCREDIBLE The cabin is gorgeous, overlooks hills and forests, the wood stove kept us warm all weekend and the overall energy of the cabin is just really welcoming and lovely. Exactly what we needed. John was super accommodating, the lighting worked well, and we bought some maple syrup. Thanks John hope to stay up there again !!

Perfect cozy getaway
Green Mountain Retreat
My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and loved our time at John's place. We usually camp but didn't want to deal with all the gear this year. It is private, cozy, the wood stove is amazing! It was the first super cold night of the year, first frost, and we loved being cozy inside with the fire. The outdoor fire pit is great too with incredible mountain views. We had everything we needed, the cabin was perfect, even books/coloring pencils/games. John is responsive and an excellent host. We'd love to return and for a couple more nights next time!

Green Mountain Retreat
I loved the mountain cabin! My friend Brian and my canine friend Snoop Dawg had a relaxing time sitting by the fire and star gazing, the wood stove was toasty on those chilly nights, and the cabin was equipped with all that you need to cook over the fire or inside. I made an apple crisp over the fire pit our last night there after climbing Mt Ascutney. I would highly recommend this site and the host John was kind and accommodating!

Special place, Amazing views

Green Mountain Retreat
Stunning views, fields, sunsets and stargazing while cooking and strumming guitar around a peaceful campfire with an orchestra of crickets. Then retreating to a cozy cabin with propane cooktop, solar lights, and bunk beds to clean up and curl up. So peaceful. My husband and I and our doggo had an amazing time. John was a gem. Great communication, great people. So many thoughtful details. Our only regret is that it was too warm to light the indoor wood stove.

What an amazing little getaway! We loved our two night stay at John’s cabin. The cabin was nice and cozy and John provided 15 gallons of potable water for us along with some towels, and plenty of firewood. The views from the cabin and campfire were absolutely spectacular. Both nights we sat by the fire, watched the most amazing sunsets, and stargazed well into the night! Can’t recommend this place enough, we loved every minute of our stay! Thank you John!

Beautiful spot! You feel like you’re a million miles away from civilization but a short 5 minute drive will take you to a convenience store. Rustic but everything you need, peaceful and quiet with nothing but the sound of nature and the night sky is breathtaking as is the view. Loved the decorative solar lights-they added a bit of a festive atmosphere! Would highly recommend this and am looking forward to going back.

Really great rustic cabin. John is a great host with a great set up. We wanted to “camp” a few nights without bringing along all our gear and this was perfect for that. We love to cook over the campfire and got our fill of that here, cabin has a lot of basics including a percolator for coffee as well as a kettle that we used to heat water for the French press we brought along with us. Note for any other chefs out there that there’s not much cast iron suitable for use over open fire so you might want to bring a pan or griddle for the fire if that’s your thing. Butcher and pantry is a great little market nearby!

This is my family's 5th year (6th visit) to John's lovely red cabin and it has become an annual tradition prior to dropping my daughter off at summer camp. The pond is always refreshing, a place to play and also hang out and connect. We enjoy making meals, eating it out on the picnic table and building a roaring fire. And to top it off, the outhouse is my all time favorite with windows that look out into the woods.

We had a perfect stay at this cabin it was the ideal spot to relax and unwind. The place is very quiet, with a stunning view, and the cabin itself is cozy and well equipped for a comfortable stay. We even found a lovely river in a nearby village where we could go for a swim, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!

I stayed here with my adventure cat for a peaceful birthday weekend, and while it rained too much for the hiking I'd anticipated, it was so cozy to read and only hear the sound of rain and birdsong. John and Patti considered all the details when putting this together and were easy to communicate with during our stay. I would definitely love to return.

John and Patti are so great in providing just about everything you might have forgotten, and explaining everything you need to know with signs. They truly go above and beyond in all respects.

The cabin is as special as everyone says it is. Charming and rustic inside, beautiful outside. But the best part of my experience was the kindness John and Patti showed me after getting stuck in the first snow. They welcomed me into their home and John actually pulled me out with his tractor. Good people. I plan on coming back sooner than later.
