A wonderful place to stay.

We have stayed here multiple times during our annual vacations to Vermont and Upstate New York. Never look elsewhere because this is just perfect - clean, comfortable, beautiful views, peaceful back deck. And, Patti always leaves a nice treat to greet us when we walk into our home away from home in Vermont. Thank you Patti and Dave for sharing this lovely place with us.

Unique property, has all you need. Perfect for our 2 night stay. Sleeps 2 in a bedroom & 2- snugly in a pullout bed. However my sons needed space- so one of them slept in the pullout bed & the other one slept on the rest of the massive sectional couch. Both were comfy. There is a k cup coffee maker and complimentary coffee pods, very nice! No regular coffee maker though if that’s your style. The bathroom is large & the washer dryer is a great feature to have on a trip. check out the shaftsbury country store & powers market for some local charm. No complaints!

Amazing Weekend Getaway!

We absolutely loved Patricia’s place - it is perfect for a weekend getaway. It was very clean, stocked with amenities, and Patricia was a great host. I would say this is one of the best vacation rentals that I’ve stayed at over the past few years. Highly recommend!

Cozy property and towns

The house and property were very beautiful had everything we needed. The towns around it (Bennington and Manchester) were very fun to check out. And it isn’t that far from mt snow which has great snowboarding/skiing. Great hosts who were friendly and quick to respond to any questions pre and post booking and check in. Would highly recommend this property.

Weekend in Vermont

We felt very comfortable in the rental unit. Everything was very clean and we had plenty of room. Loved the back deck! Easy walk to the Chocolate Barn. We hiked Rye Brook Falls and went to the Harvest Fest in Bennington. Robert Frost Museum is a must! Thanks for a great stay!

Very pretty area and the apartment is immaculate. There is a big deck outside that is very private, perfect for morning coffee. Beautiful handmade ceramic mugs and dinnerware in the kitchen and the view from the living room is amazing. Right down the street from a great chocolate store and farmers market, and Lake Shaftsbury state park is only a mile down the road. Bennington is five miles away and Mass MOCA a half hour. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back for another visit!

New Year's weekend

My son and I stayed here for New Year's weekend. The property was clean, roomy, quiet and comfortable. It was well stocked with dishes, silverware etc. There is a keurig coffeemaker and kcups, creamers and sugar available. Patricia even left us some pastry bread and candy. There were nice views of the mountains from the living room. There is also a spacious deck, which would be nice in warmer weather. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

Perfect Vacation Home Away From Home!

My husband and I enjoyed an absolutely lovely stay at Patty and Dave's VRBO. The apartment was sparkling clean and offered all the comforts of home - stocked kitchen, very comfortable bedroom, and a living room with views to die for of the mountains, the Harvest Moon, and an unforgettable rainbow! We sipped wine on the back deck and listened to the babbling brook before dinner and that incredible view in this beautiful unit. The owners made sure we had everything we could need with plenty of extras. We cannot say enough about how fabulous this unit is and the excellent location to all things Vermont (as well as Upstate NY). Great owners! Great unit!

BEWARE: Frightening Owners Live On on Site and Monitor You Closely

If the property listing had said they live within ten yards of the VRBO building and watch visitors closely and show up unannounced / uninvited, I NEVER would have made a reservation here! A single female with epilepsy, I brought my ADA-licensed service dog with me, although the property says no dogs. I really regret that choice! I regret not asking the owner before booking! After I had brought my many personal items into the VRBO up the tall, steep, wet-with-rain outdoor stairs, Patricia appeared suddenly, trembling and shaking with rage to tell me she doesn’t allow dogs. I said, “Well, should we go?” feeling awful and uncomfortable and miserable and ready to leave. She said no. Then she left, but returned minutes later with UNNECESSARY backup: a man, straggly red hair dripping with rage. He and Patricia barged back into the VRBO to tell me get out. Glaring and glowering at me like I was someone twice my size who had invaded his land & threatened his life, the man appeared ready to punch or shoot me. Patricia slammed the door in my face after telling me to leave. She or her husband slammed or punched something else on their way downstairs. I couldn’t pack my service dog or my car fast enough—careful to navigate the steep, tall, wet outdoor steps with caution. This has been my only bad VRBO experience—the absolute worst. It may well be my last.

Comfy Vermont Stay

Comfortable and cozy place for my husband and I as base place while we attended a wedding nearby. Owner communication was very prompt and helpful. Also a nice list of things to do/places to eat nearby which we took advantage of. It is on Rte 7A so there is some car noise during the day but not a major distraction and very quiet at night. We were so tired on our first night's arrival as got there late and slept great!

A clean, comfortable, cozy and spacious spot with great views and great hosts in the Green Mountain state. The listing was very accurate, although the pictures may not do full justice to the comfort of the space. We will stay here again when we are in the area next time.

INCREDIBLE STAY

We were absolutely in love with this spacious apartment in Shaftsbury. It had such charm and had so much space for us to move around. It was definitely a welcome change from our cramped NYC apartments. Our host even left us a delicious loaf of fresh baked bread! We stayed here to go skiing during the day at Mt. Snow. Incredible weekend, thank you so much!

The property was in a good location. Central to Bennington, Manchester and several ski resorts. The property was quiet, clean and comfortable. The space and furnishings showcased the owner’s artistic skill and craftsmanship. Patricia was easy to communicate with and we appreciated her recommendations on local dining. We enjoyed our stay and would look forward to staying here again.

Perfect quite winter retreat

This place was so clean we thought maybe we were first rental. After observing telephone jacks we realized it been there a while. Its twenty minutes to Manchester and Lye river falls. 45 minutes to Mt Snow. All the net flicks you want to see. This place has personal touches from owner with interior heavy barn decor built into the walls and hand made pottery cups and plates to use. Excellent water quality from the tap.
