Camp Tiger Ted
Our stay at Camp Tiger Ted was so wonderful. The amount of detail and care David put into building and now maintaining the property is second to none. The house was meticulously clean and had so many charming details. David also gave us both massages in his in home studio which waA the most relaxing way to end our stay!

Homecoming 2024
Loved the property. Enjoyed talking with David. The property is really attractive and comfortable. One comment: The signage is hard to see from the road, which is a highway. I don't know what more could be done, but something that gives a heads-up would help to prevent driving past the driveway and having to turnaround.

Wonderful property with an unbelievable story! The cottage is extremely clean and well-equipped. Unfortunately, we were not able to take advantage of everything the property and surrounding area had to offer due to a limited amount of time.

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.
