Cute cozy cabin

The cabin is cozy and sweet- we have a dog and small family and wanted to ski at Mt Snow. Cabin is short 20 minute drive to ski. Super cute town of Wilmington just a few minutes away. Go to Dots or Alpen Glow! Shaws grocery 2 minutes away. House has Pottery Barn vibes. Decent sized kitchen sitting and dining area. 2Bedroom 2 bath. This is not a house for a large crew but for a family getaway it was perfect. Street is quiet and residential. Neighbors seem really friendly. We would love to come back to rent in summer as well to see the lake right across the street.Bring your own coffee press or colombe if you’re a coffee snob - the little cafes were closed on Sunday!

Snowy VT Trip

The house was really nice. I loved how remote it seemed and the snow was exactly what we wanted. It would have been nice to know at booking that the fireplace was not working since that was one feature we did really want, so we were really bummed to find out it didn’t work upon arrival. We wished that there was some sort of property guide as to how to work the heaters and the expectations on check out. Maybe a guide as to what to do or where to eat. In most of the other places we stay at there is a visitor guide or a house manual. Overall, we love Vermont and the cabin was just what we wanted for our quick family reset.

If you know what you want, this is a fantastic location

This is an adorable little cabin about 10 minutes outside of the small town of Wilmington. Guest service and responsiveness through vacasa was fantastic, and the house itself is really cute. It is a wonderful location for a romantic getaway (which I used it for) with plenty of outdoor activity's in either the summer (for lake raponda) or during winter for the myriad of ski options. For those reading multiple reviews, you will see that clenliness is the lowest rated statistic. HOWEVER I wanted to write this review specifically to address this. It seems that most people who rated this place low on cleanliness failed to realize that this is an off grid vacation cabin completely surrounded in the woods. Therefore it will obviously be a little more rustic. The cleanliness reviews do not do this place justice, it is wonderfully serviceable.

Weekend away

The main bedroom is 10 feet from the main road BUT the road is pretty quite. The beautiful gas fire place doesn't work which was a big disappointment since that is what caught my eye and was part of the reason we picked this place. The cottage is perfect for a couples get away. The furniture color is white, so you do see a lot of stains, however it was very comfy to sit on. Overall, it was a very nice little cottage. From looking at it from the outside, you wouldn't imagine that it was so cute on the inside. It's starting to get cold so the mice have come in, there was droppings on the kitchen table, night stand and on the floor. We made sure to rewas any dinnerware before using.

Cute place, cleaning needs attention

This is a cute place and the area has a lot to offer Would have been better without the house mouse, stained linens and same cobwebs mentioned in an earlier review. One of the bathrooms doors doesn’t work properly making it very hard to open/shut With a few small fixes it could be worth the price Would not recommend white couches for a place that allows pets and kids in a country setting That being said, it’s a quaint cabin

This was the perfect place, to get away for a few days isolated enough not to be bothered but also close to town where we can explore.

This is our second stay at the Little Red House, and it was just as nice as the first stay. A nice, quiet location close to everything in town. It is cozy and fits all of our needs. We look forward to our next stay !

Relaxing trip

We enjoyed Little Red very much. It was just what we needed. It was quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and comfortable. The white upholstery had some minor stains. There were some cobwebs at the very tippy top of the gas fireplace. Looks like a tough spot to clean! We stayed for a week and observed that it might have been nice to have a small microwave to reheat food. It might also have been nice to have an outside rubbish bin- being there a week we generated some trash. The dining room table was great. We used one end to set up some puzzles and still had space! The bed was comfortable with a plush topper that added lots of cushion. We had plenty of towels and the linens were very nice. There was a nice yard with a picnic table and a grill. Even though the lake is nearby, the access to it is not.

We loved Little Red

Excellent value with terrific features for kids. We loved the location (a <5 minute drive from the Raponda beach, a short drive to Wilmington and Brattleboro). The gas-fired stove made the space especially cozy.

Cabin perfection!

I’m forever overjoyed with the way people transform small spaces and this cabin is on point! I never even knew the lake was right behind the place! How my dog and I enjoyed our daily walks along the lake road. The lake is a paddlers paradise. Most days I was the only one out there. It IS cabin living so you’ll have some occasional hard water experiences and the fyi g insects are hatching now so they like to visit. Gratefully my dog loves to eat them. Enjoy.! We loved it and will be back for certain!

DIRTY

Looks very nice in the pictures, but we were uncomfortable during our entire stay due to the lack of cleanliness. We had to buy our own cleaning supplies and cover the couch with our own sheet in order to feel more comfortable here. I'm shocked that there were previous reviews that said this place was clean.

Great location

Little Red was in a great location. You are close to everything you need, yet in a peaceful quiet area. Vacasa gave us an easy experience for our quick trip away. Our only complaint was that the home could use a deep clean. As a local host for vacation properties on Cape Cod I am always paying attention to the details. The Home could be 5 star with some attention. Nobody wants to shower with other guests leftover hair. The slipcover couches were dirty and stained which can easily be washed. The glass light pendants are covered in thick dust, baseboards dirty and the porch could use a sweeping. Kitchen is in need of some basic items and again a deeper cleaning. The bedding was fresh and clean, however it may be time to invest in a new mattress.
