Fantastic stay!
We attended a wedding in Goshen. It was a ten minute drive. It worked out perfectly. The home is very clean and comfortable! The host even turned the porch light on for us for our late night return.

Wonderful!
David's place exceeded my expectations! Very smart design and layout. Quality craftmanship and attention to detail. Super clean. I wish my daughter and i could have stayed longer! Close enough to Middlebury College for this to be a great option for 2 people. David was very nice to stop by to introduce himself and see if we needed anything. We didn't see him again, but knew he was only a phone call away. Perfect.

Amazing Stay
I didn't want to leave! Beautiful place with such a rich history. I loved waking up on Saturday morning to play the grand piano. Forgot how much I loved it. Very clean and David made the process as smooth as possible. Our only complaint was the bed needs an update, sinks to the middle. Thank you David!

This was such a great place to stay. So unique and inviting. We actually cooked a lot here instead of going out to eat because it was so relaxing and such a romantic setting. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Can't say enough positive things about this place.

Beautiful quirky place
Loved this place from the moment I walked into it and kept finding more to love the longer I looked. Full of unique architectural and artistic interest. We enjoyed looking through the photo album and reading about its construction. It’s tucked away and private, but not far from everything either. The piano was in tune and I loved playing on a grand for the first time in years.

Handcrafted dream in the woods
David Allan was a great communicator and took very good care that our stay was everything we needed. The house was beautiful, original/handcrafted, and very clean. Everything we needed was provided and we felt very safe and cozy. The location is great, Middlebury is a very cool town and very close to this location. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Five plus stars.

My partner and I stayed here while attending a wedding in Brandon and it was perfect for us. David has built a very sweet little spot complete with a lovely grand piano for my sweetie to play. The bed was very comfortable . Thank You so much David for having such a lovely little space to spend a couple dayd.

Lovely place
This home was several cuts above places we had stayed recently. The only issues were lack of a reliable internet connection, and inadequate lighting. We were there during an intense rain storm, which made the skies unusually dark, but the lack of light inside was challenging. The DVD collection left something to be desired. Some of the titles did not match the packaging. It would not have mattered accept for the lack of internet access, and that the storms kept us housebound. David was very accommodating.

Quiet spot in rural Vermont
Lovely a place to stay. Quiet and convenient for our weekend. Air conditioner kept bedroom cool but with the hot weekend it struggled in the lower floors to keep comfortable. But never bad. No TV, and slow internet so we used our free time to explore the area. Plan ahead if that would be a concern. But would definitely stay again.

Lovely home. Very nicely stocked refrigerator, breakfast items, fruit, etc. Set off from Rt 7 but if you are looking for total solitude you will hear the traffic. I would highly recommend as David Allen was a generous host.
