Fantastic House for a Fantastic Eclipse
Andy and Kim were wonderful hosts for this home in Vermont. The house was clean and everything was labeled which made so many things easy to find. I loved the town was only 6 minutes away for the grocery store and restaurants. Big kuddos for the baby gate at the top of the stairs and the giant basket of toys - my 2.5 year old son was in heaven! We could not have had a better time in Vermont.

We had a wonderful stay! The property is great - it has all the fixings for a fun and cozy Vermont getaway. Our group of 7 adults was able to work at the property during the weeks and enjoy fun in the snow on the weekends. Many mountains nearby to explore! We loved using the outdoor fire pit, cooking in the kitchen, playing board games and listening to music in the living room. The nearby town is great to explore as well - great food and cute shops! Andy and Kim are wonderful, responsive hosts and ensure that you are set up for a great stay. We hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Andy or Kim Phelan

Host profile image
We live in metro-West Boston. We met at Georgetown University and have been married almost 30 years. Kim is a history teacher and Andy an attorney. We have 3 kids who have grown up visiting Vermont and who are now all young adults. We have been in the Boston area for nearly 20 years and in Fayston for almost 17 years now. We hope to retire to Acorn Ridge in Vermont.

Why they chose this property

We have close friends that moved to the area and introduced the Mad River Valley to us. We love the fact that it is a great 4 season area with lots to do year round. We have been contemplating moving full time to the Valley and fell in love with the house and the property. We have spent the summer making it our own. The house feels warm and cozy when just two people are there but can easily fit family and friends.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the deck and watching local wildlife while eating breakfast has been a joy--we saw a bear cub meandering across the street, see countless birds, and watch deer picking their way across the yard. Relax by the fireplace with a book and a glass of wine or VT craft beer. Watch the snow fall or birds visit the feeders. In warm weather, relax on the deck or yard. Watch the staggering night display of stars in the Vermont sky. Turn on the fire pit and relax with friends and family.
