We were very disappointed that the fireplace was out of commission. The pictures are very misleading, showing several pictures of a roaring fireplace. After reading older reviews it seems to have been out of service since September of last year. When we contacted Vacassa about it, all they kept saying was that it was no longer listed as an amenity. I'm sorry but when you show pictures of it working, people expect it to be working when booking this home. Also, the white fabric couch was pretty dirty - we put a bed sheet over it when sitting there. Great location though and at an affordable price. Could use a cutting board and a sharp knife for cooking. Wifi was in and out the whole time, hard to use phone/computer.

Perfect little place!
My husband and I planned a weekend away in VT, this cottage was the perfect place to stay! It was very clean, and in a fantastic area in which we enjoyed a nice long walk to the local lake. Would highly recommend to others!

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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

Quaint house in a quiet area
The house is adorable and perfect for a week outside of Wilmington, VT. Good hikes and kayaking are close by, as are several excellent places to eat. The home is comfortable for hanging about on a rainy day and a good base for exploring.

Too dark, furniture needs to be cleaned, inadequate kitchen supplies, inadequate lighting. Bed is VERY SAGGY. Windows in bedroom don’t open. Bathrooms are nice and were clean. Disappointing overall.

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.

Loved it!
The house was so cozy, and the fireplace kept it warm! We appreciated the heat sources in every room. Everything was fairly clean. The only thing we wished we had was a microwave but other than that everything was great! We also loved getting to explore the town and different shops!

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!

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.

Beautiful cabin and very comfortable
Great location (close to Wilmington), quiet and comfortable. Tons of games for all the family (young children to adult). Loved the gas fireplace. Bed and couch was comfortable. Never found the remote to the bedroom TV, and tricky to figure out the living room TV. Felt quite at home. Would happily go back again. *Just know this is an older home and the floors slope going into the bedroom, so walk carefully in socks.

Cute Cabin
Tucked away in the woods. Small cabin with old-timey vibe. Essentials taken care of. Suitable for two adults with or without one child. Comfy interior with the basics ready for your relaxing trip to Wilmington area. The lake was close but accessing it was about a mile or so walk to a small beach. Screened porch was our favorite spot although dusty and shared with spiders. Lots of toys for small children, no lawn furniture except a picnic table. Fire pit was fun. No loft access to other bed as pictured. Minimally equipped kitchen.

Cozy Retreat
Living room: cozy, comfortable, well decorated, tons of games under window seat, blankets in basket. Center free standing fireplace very nice. Kitchen: well supplied with pans, dishes, coffee pot etc, convenient dishwasher and laundry facilities. One bathroom with walk in shower, one with deep tub, plenty of towels. Adorable bedroom with twin bed and other bedroom with small but comfortable bed. Cute little front porch with basket of games. Gas grill and fire pit outside. Lake Raponda is right across the street with beach a short walk down the road. Peaceful and quiet.
