Perfect for my family

The guest house was perfect for my family and 2 dogs. Some kitchen supplies may need to be upgraded. Danny was great and quick in responding with a few issues we had. The property is seriously 3 minutes away. Will stay again

Quiet Mountain Retreat

We were looking for a quiet place to stay while attending a family event nearby. The accommodations were very comfortable and restful. The Hosts left us alone, but we’re very responsive to any questions. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to others.

Close to Jay, everything we needed!

Nothing to share but the kindest of words for Danny and his property. Gorgeous location, dog friendly and close in proximity to Jay. We felt safe crating our dogs while we rode, and took the liberty of doing some exploration on the property while we were there. Can definitely see us renting again (and again) if Danny lets us!

Awesome!

We had a wonderful stay here! Danny was super communicative and answered any questions we had quickly. We stayed here for a ski trip to Jay Peak and the location was absolutely perfect. The house was extremely clean, well stocked and cozy with gorgeous views out every window. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

A great place to stay

Beautiful location with a great yard and access to snowshoe/backcountry trails as well as easy access to Jay Peak for skiing. The owner is very attentive and friendly and a good resource for information on the area. Good size for a family. Did not have any issues with mice in the home.

Mice and Beetle Infestation

Unfortunately, my family and I did not have a good experience here. There were mouse droppings in the silverware and utensils drawers (!), and colonies of Asian Lady Beetles everywhere- on the floors, walls, in the coffee pot, etc. I notified the owner the first morning we were there and he said he would come when we left to set up mouse traps and vacuum up the beetles. He admitted that they've had beetle and mouse issues with the temperatures changing there and this "happens in the woods". Later that day he said that two mice were caught in the traps. I started looking for another property to move to but because it was the start of February school vacation, there was nothing available in the area. Each morning, we saw more mouse droppings and beetles on the counters and even in our coffee mugs. The owner had said that the beetles actually bite. My kids freaked out when they heard that and none of us were comfortable there. I am upset because the owner really shouldn't have rented this property to us in the first place. He needs to get an exterminator to fix both the mouse and beetle issue- it's a major health hazard to have mice droppings where you eat! We spent over $1,100 for 3 nights. I feel sick that I had to pay that much for these conditions. Know your rental rights- had I known and called VRBO during our stay, they would have refunded us and relocated us. Once these issues are rectified, I’m sure this could be a lovely property to stay in. It's close to Jay Peak.

Great Overall Experience

Our group (3 dads and 5 kids) had a great overall experience staying at Danny's guesthouse. The house itself is in a perfect location - close to the base lodges at Jay, just a few miles up the road from Montgomery Center, and right in the middle of all things outdoors (hiking, backcountry skiing, etc.). Danny is an exceptional host, making us feel more like friends instead of renters, and was very responsive to any questions or needs. And the house is clean, well kept, and warm - perfect for a place to stay after a day spent in the outdoors. We won't think twice about booking again if/when we make it back to the area!

Winter Wonderland

Absolutely love this property. At first I thought it would be small from the photos but it was very comfortable for 6 ground men and myself. Beds were so comfortable! We had epic snow (over 1ft) during the 3 days we were there for snowboarding at Jays Peak. Danny kept the driveways clear for us, we felt welcomed, safe and in great hands! Would definitely stay with them again in the future.

Why they chose this property

Nestled between Big Jay, Little Jay, Buchanan Mountain and Domey's Dome is our comfortable mountain home. You will be staying in the entire first floor. While our guest house is a great place, the 1st floor is simply beautiful. The view from all windows is magnificent (see photos).

There are double/full size bunk beds in the 1st bedroom. The two other beds are queen-sized wall beds. They are all in different rooms giving everyone there own private sleeping space.

Jay Brook's relaxing sound can be heard from your covered patio. Guests comment on how all beds are nicely nestled in their own private spaces. The view of the mountains from the living room, bedroom and dining rooms is stunning even when it's cloudy and snowing. The starry skies are amazing and wonderful to view while sitting by the fire pit. Dry wood is right there for your use.

What makes this property unique

A beautiful and remote home in the Green Mountains with a fantastic view and a trout stream running just below. The night sky is magnificent because no one else is around. You get all the benefits of a solitary property yet are only 2.6 miles from the nearest restaurant and bar, 3 miles from Jay Peak and 4.6 miles from groceries and downtown Montgomery Center.
