Winter Getaway

Great home away from home! There were 7 of us. The house had character and charm. We received 4-5 inches of snow our first night. In the morning, the plow guy did a great job along with the woman who shoveled the walkways. Roads also were well maintained and easily passable.

Beautiful A-frame by Lake Raponda

My wife and I spent a long weekend with our toddler at Phyllis’s beautiful home filled with character. She provided helpful information in advance and we had an excellent stay. The weather was not conducive for lake activities but we had a great time nonetheless. Would love to visit again.

A delightful vacation destination

This rental is quirky but delightful. Front and back porches provide lots of great outdoor space for eating, visiting, reading etc. The kitchen is well equipped and has room for more than one cook. The supply of games is exceptional. Kayaks, canoes and access to a private beach and dock on Lake Raponda made use of the lake easy. A delightful location for a low key Vermont vacation.

Excellent Time!

We had a great time during our stay. Beverly was so kind and accommodating. Her information in details for the home and the area was very much appreciated and helpful. We went up w/plans to go tubing and skiing but found the home so relaxing we found ourselves just wanting to stay in and play games. The home is much more spacious than it appears to be in the photos. Beverly does mention the narrow stay case for the 2 floors. This is to be very true and the only down fall of the home if we had to choose one, but this would not stop us from wanting to return and hope to do so in the near future.

Cozy A frame great for a family

My wife and I stayed at the cottage with my Brother and his wife, 4 kids in total along as well (8 total people). With the kids doubling up rooms there were just the right amount of beds and the space was great for spending time together and enjoying ourselves. Nice quiet area not too far from some easy going local attractions. Enjoyed the time we got to spend here and sad it had to end.

Great Location, Slightly Higher Maintenance, Communication Opportunities

Overall, our stay was pretty good. I admittedly was going to give 3 stars, but I decided to give 4 stars because Phyllis allowed us a late checkout since the cleaners were coming the next day. With 3 children under 3 yrs old that was massively helpful. Overall, I certainly think this could be a true 4 star place or even 5 if certain things were addressed. See highlights below: Good -Overall house and living space -Full kitchen -Great location (~15 min from Mt Snow) Opportunities for improvement -Communication was the biggest challenge. Asked 3 times in initial outreach if only thing we needed to bring was sheets and towels. Received incorrect pricing on liability waiver (~50% higher than posted price). Wifi wasn't working because the password was wrong. Host finally called back 4 times after 10pm while babies were sleeping -WAY too much documentation, much of it redundant- received 7 documents in the first email after we got confirmed for our booking, which included a surprise liability waiver w/ a security deposit line (surprised that things are not insured under VRBO) that requested names and phone numbers of everyone staying. We were told it was a requirement of the community, but wasn't stated upfront (causes some discomfort when you don't have that context). One of the docs was also about avoiding extra charges (causes anxiety right out of the gates before even entering the property) -High maintenance (must turn on water, bring sheets/towels, no onsite recycling, etc)

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Beveridge

Our family vacation home for many years. But now our adult children and their families are scattered across the USA and unable to come often. We enjoy sharing our house with others.

Why they chose this property

A great place to just hang out, walk to lake, use of canoe. Nice local walking and access to bike-able trails. Or use as a base for hiking, skiing, golfing and visiting the valley as well as day trips to nearby small towns, museums and the outlet stores in Manchester. Or for driving to enjoy the beauty of the area, typical architecture and covered bridges.

What makes this property unique

The charm of an A-frame, great kitchen. Walk to lake. Be sure to buy some of the locally made maple syrup from the Wheeler farm roadside stand - the best maple syrup in the world!
