We had a tremendous white Christmas in Vermont. The views from the many windows are gorgeous. We watched the river freeze as it got colder outside. It was a great reunion space to meet our adult children and also visit other family in Vermont. The heat on the lower level was not working correctly, but we managed and Michael was very responsive. We absolutely love this house and all the artwork! Great linens and kitchen items. We will definitely return!!!

We loved our stay at your beautiful home! The location was so convenient to downtown and Middlebury campus. Everything was clean & organized. The house was stocked with everything we needed! Michael was very responsive to any questions we had. We loved it so much we already booked our next stay! Looking forward to staying here again! Highly recommend!

Michael's place is an architectural marvel-sits perfectly in its sylvan setting by the Otter Creek. Lots of windows; lots of space. Well-appointed with several sitting areas that can be used of smaller conversations. Kitchen is fully equipped. Everything was spotless. Very comfortable beds. Deck so inviting that I had my coffee on it looking out over the river - even though it was 30 degrees and snowing lightly. We have stayed in many rental properties, here and abroad, and I would rate this in the top three. With family in the area, we hope to be back.

This property was exactly as described — spacious, comfortable, and with a huge kitchen that was perfect for cooking and gathering. The view overlooking the river was absolutely beautiful, making our stay even more relaxing. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. A small issue came up during our stay, but it was handled quickly and professionally. Overall, a wonderful experience — would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Michael's beautiful home in Middlebury was truly exceptional and easily one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had. Communication with Michael was flawless from booking to check-out, and the property itself was immaculate, stylish, and even better than the photos suggested. Michael is a gem of a host, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We highly recommend this home and would book it again in a heartbeat!
