This was our 3rd trip to Jabulani, such a great home for relaxing and getting away from the hustle of life. The kitchen is amazing for cooking and playing games. We will be back !!
This was our second stay at Jabulani, beautiful home with plenty of space to relax, fantastic fully equipped kitchen, nice quiet location for walks. Sharon is great to work with
This was one of the nicest places we've rented. The house was comfortable, modern and spacious, but it's what's around the house that makes it so charming. The farm, the scenery and the animals made our stay so delightful. Our host was also very accommodating and was a really lovely person. We enjoyed our stay, and will love to come back again some day.
Very nice house with plenty of space and all the modern conveniences. Note that the fireplace is chained shut. You are absolutely not allowed to have a fire here (insurance concerns apparently) which was a little disappointing. Also this is very much a rental property, i.e. not actually lived in, which makes it convenient but also a little sterile. Altogether though it served us well and we had a great stay.
We were lucky enough to have snow for sledding on the beautiful property. The house is wonderful so many amenities and very comfortable. Sharon is great to work with and very helpful. Definitely plan to return again next year !!
This is our second stay at this house. We like the open layout of the house. We also like the expansive backyard which is great for sledding if you have young kids. It's also not so far from skiing.
We had an amazing stay at Jabulani. It is clear that Sharon (owner) really cares about her guests' experience and stay). It's clear from the minute you walk into the lovely home. It has warmth and charm and is updated inside in every way for a true Vermont experience with luxury and comfort in mind. The guest book was helpful for info on the area and home. Be sure to explore the charming town of Guilford where the home is, and also nearby Brattleboro about 15 or so min away. Great place to walk the town and take in the authentic VT town and shops and people.
The property is amazing and the hill in the back was the absolute perfect sledding hill for the kids! They didn't want to come inside! We didn't get to use the fire pit as it was too wet outside for our stay but hopefully next time!
We ski'd at Mount Snow, right on the nose at 45 min away. Stratton is just 15 min further for 1 hr (did the snow mobile tour there...so worth it!). There's plenty to explore just a short drive away and yet you will be perfectly happy staying in the house and on the property as well!! Can't wait to go back!
