Comfortable, beautiful setting
We stayed for 2 nights and found the rooms comfortable and lovely. We loved the sailing decor and learning about our host's sailing adventures. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and spacious. Lovely view of Mount Philo and the location was convenient to Lake Champlain, Mount Philo state park, Shelburne and Burlington (and the ferry to Essex, NY).

Wash ashore
Gail and Ollie are wonderful hosts, and for this sailor to wash ashore in such a lush landscape/garden setting, all I could do was take it all in. The views, the hosts par excellance, the fire pit, proximity to Champlain, great local eateries, all made this a memorable trip, worthy of repeating! Thank you!

Weekend stay
Our stay was great. We arrived late at night, and Gayle was very responsive to texts and even stayed up to welcome us when we got there. We would definitely stay again if we find ourselves back in Vermont.

Wonderful accommodating hosts with a beautiful property! Loved the fascinating stories and conversation around the evening fire pit, and the helpful suggestions for touring this gorgeous area. Communication was frequent and easy. Shelburne Museum and Shelburne Farms were great local spots we really enjoyed, as well as the summit view at Mt. Philo State Park. Enjoyed local dining venues Backyard Bistro and Barkeaters and enjoyed both meals immensely. Toured the local towns, and drove to Ben & Jerry’s, Stowe and the Trapp Family lodge. Thank you Oliver and Gayle for a lovely Memorial weekend!

We had a very sweet time enjoying this property. It was very peaceful and quiet. The pool table was a wonderful surprise. Unfortunately, while we were there, it was raining so we didn't get to enjoy the Gardens much, but they were beautiful.

Perfect stay!
What a pleasant experience! Oliver and Gayle were more than accommodating and the apartment and grounds were so beautiful! Make sure you climb Mount Philo just down the street and eat at BarkEaters which is a few miles down the road.
Ten out of ten would recommend!!

Beautiful accomodations
This property was incredible. Beautiful peaceful area. The landscaping around the house was phenomenal. All the rooms were super clean and better looking than any hotel. The owner was super friendly and very accommodating. He also gave very good information about places to visit in the area. The price was also very reasonable. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very nice, peaceful, and comfortable place
This property suited our 3 night stay for exploring the Burlington area. A short drive away from hiking, biking, scenic views, good food, and general scouting around. The hosts were friendly, interesting, welcoming, and engaging. The private porch and side patio were relaxing. The house was clean - actually spotless. We would definitely stay here again on the next visit to the area.
