We very much enjoyed our stay at Sue’s “cabin.” It’s set in a beautiful valley, surrounded by Vermont’s Green Mountains. Bennington is about a 15 minute drive, where there are interesting museums and monuments—and the standard and useful stores. It’s a college town, and so has a number of excellent restaurants and bars.
The house itself appears to have been enlarged a few times, so its layout is a bit quirky. You will enter into its dining-kitchen area, with a beautiful and comfortable living room to the right. To its right is the bedroom, entirely comfortable for a stay. (The quite adequate bathroom is to the left of the kitchen.) To our surprise, perhaps our favorite area was “the nook,” a sleeping area for two, elevated off the dining room. It’s got a great mattress, and a big window that lets in a great breeze on our summer evenings. (That window has a blackout curtain if you want to sleep better after sunrise.)
One thing to note: both the bedroom and the bathroom are a step down from the cabin’s main area, which might be a problem for a person with mobility issues.
The cabin is a bit off the beaten track, but a lovely place to stay for a New England vacation.
