The home was well furnished, spacious, and had everything we needed to cook meals. The area was quiet but close to the main roads and Barton. Gail was very responsive and accommodated an earlier check in. This is our third visit to the North East Kingdom area, and this home has been the best so far. We will definitely come back!
My 11 teammates and I stayed for 3 nights at Gail's home. It was a perfect match for us. It was clean, and had everything we needed - well-stocked kitchen, bathrooms and plenty of comfortable beds to sleep in. The days were very hot, but the house was cool and comfortable. Not to mention that the pond was a huge bonus.Gail was very responsive to our inquiries. We unanimously voted to go back next year! Thank you, Gail!
It was wonderful! ! The toddlers enjoyed the paddle boat on the pond and their dads swam in the pond !
The barn was great to have when it was raining .
The house was conveniently located and so perfect for my family. We want to book again next summer!
Great houseâ really well- stocked and comfortable
Place is in great condition, with a large assortment of clean rooms and great beds. Kitchen VERY well-supplied. Near Glover (Bread & Puppet!!!) and West Glover ( Parkerâs Pies). Large independent supermarket in Barton ten mins away. Enormous field for dogs to play. Owner was very responsive when we locked ourselves out on a Sunday!!
My family and I had a great experience at this property. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. It was clean and comfortable. Thank you to the property owner/manager for the ease of communication and hospitality!
Our third time here, we always leave with great reluctance. On the way home we stopped for breakfast at the tiny Busy Bee diner in Glover and had an excellent meal and good conversation with the owners and other customers. Parsons Dinner House is also excellent. Thanks for your hospitality, Gail.
The house was really nice. The host took care to prepare the house for us and make our stay comfortable. She was very responsive, promptly answered all our questions. Would definitely recommend to friends and would definitely keep it on my list to revisit in summer and/or fall when we can see more of the area around.
The house was really clean, the kitchen has all the amenities you'll need and the beds were cozy with their flannel sheets. Craftsbury is only 40 minutes away for cross country skiing and Jay Peak is 45 minutes for downhill. Lots of hiking nearby, too. Of course, pizza from Parker's Pies, just two miles away is a must. The house had all you need for a relaxing holiday.
Our family (6 adults and 1 toddler) really enjoyed our stay! There were plenty of bedrooms for all and the beds were very comfortable. The spacious living room and dining table gave us alot of room to gather together. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook big family meals.
We also spent alot of time outside at the fire pit and at the little pond. The outdoor space was very pleasant. All in all we highly recommend the Barton house.
We had 4 adults and 2 kids, and there was more than plenty of space for all of us.The home was clean when we arrived, and everything we needed was available: towels, washcloths, kitchen towels, lots of kitchen ware (pots, dishes, utensils, appliances, dishsoap, sponge, etc.)As is the case with most homes in the winter, the air in the house can get pretty dry with the heat, so bring a humidifier if that is something that bothers you.There is plenty of outdoor space, though we didn't use any of the conveniences outside because we stayed through a cold front, but the view of the sunrise and the field behind the house is just gorgeous.Gail was responsive and easy to communicate with when we had any questions.Overall, we had a lovely stay.
Great location and outdoor space. It's not shown in the property listing pictures, but there is an awesome backyard space with a fire pit that we took advantage of to enjoy and outdoor dinner and star gazing. It was our favorite part of the rental. The house itself is older and has some slight renovations here and there (also, bed configurations shown in the property photos have since changed). Kitchen and dining room are a great place to gather the full group around (we had 14 people). Cons: bedrooms are small and mattresses are outdated. Very close by Parker Pies and the local supermarket, where were bonuses!
Loved that it was out in the country! The house was clean and the kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, pots, and dishes for a large crowd! Beds were clean and comfortably along with bathrooms that were well stocked. The main downside was the misleading listing. It stated that there was air conditioning...there was one air-conditioner in one bedroom. Thankfully there were several fans! It also listed that there was a pool. No pool! Would have been nice because it was hot! Other than that, our stay was good! Great place for a little family get together.
We rate this as one of our favorite places to stay, and we spent the day outside sledding, eating, and drinking. The eclipse didnât disappoint, either. Beds and furniture are comfortable, and the kitchen had everything for us cooks.We enjoyed watching duck antics on the pond, and we saw a mink too. We found some good hiking, though mud season is on us. The dogs were able to romp freely without worry. Thank you, Gail, as always.
Had a wonderful time staying here and visiting family in the area. The house was great and had everything you could possibly need. The host was great and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!
We'll completely enjoyed our stay. The house is big, comfortable and clean. It's very well equipped from the kitchen to the outdoor BBQ and fire pit. Barton is a lovely location for hiking, paddling, swimming and enjoying all that this beautiful area of. the NEK has to offer. The hosts are wonderful.
We had a wonderful and relaxing week with our family and our puppy. The house was clean, cozy and very suitable for our stay! The property was amazing and the kids loved the pond for swimming and kayaking.
I grew up in this house with my 6 siblings. My husband and I purchased it from my parent's estate in 2007. We have had to make many repairs and improvements, but we love the charm, beauty, location, wildlife and serenity of it all!
I grew up here, and still live only about 20 minutes away. I can advise about the area, and I am on hand if any problems arise. It is nice to have a private pond and a low traffic road.
