Our fully-equipped kitchen (with plenty of pots and pans for cooking and baking) is perfect for quick meals or gourmet dinners (a convection oven with four-burner glass stovetop; a drip coffee maker; French press; blender; and toaster oven).

An iron and ironing board are available as well. Washer and dryer are available for your use and located in the basement.The large living room includes a workspace with a desk, desk chair and lamp. We provide free Internet. This space also includes a vintage Pilates reformer for workouts.In summer, enjoy fresh herbs and vegetables direct from the garden!

We try our hardest to please our guests and to earn superior ratings and reviews — and we do the same for guests who earn our praise for caring for our house and property.

The house sits atop a forested hill on a spacious corner lot surrounded by mature ash, oak, birch and maple trees in an accessible and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood — adjacent to historic Hubbard Park, downtown Montpelier and just a short commute to the Amtrak station. So, while we’re relatively close to downtown (less than a mile to the city center), we’re also near heavily-forested Hubbard Park — so it is not at all uncommon to see a variety of wildlife (deer, chipmunk, crows, skunk, fox, the occasional black bear and woodchuck). In fact, a family of woodchucks live in a den on the west side of the property. When startled, they emit a shrill, high-pitched whistle sound. And while harmless, they can be a nuisance when they help themselves to our garden! We do not allow guests to receive mail at the house address. We recommend guests get a post box at the USPS, the UPS Store or Fedex Store.
