About this cottage rental
Step away from it all into the quiet mountains of old Vermont where you'll find our tiny cottage nestled on the banks of our year round brook. Her melody changes throughout the seasons but she is almost always there to enchant you with her music. Sway in the hammock by your private waterside fire pit or head inside to curl up on the couch and revel in a sublime, uninterrupted view of the forest. This space beckons you back to simplicity, to our roots, where you can breath deeply and let your soul smile.
We live in a very peaceful and rural area of north central Vermont which provides a great mix of quiet and privacy, but is also with in an hours drive to most of the states interest points. There are 16 ski resorts within an hours drive, as well as breweries, State Parks, lakes and more. Fine dining is available within 30 minutes in multiple directions. Sitting at just over 1600’, we are in a unique microclimate that sometimes get a bit more snow than our surrounding towns. Our neighborhood is all tree lined winding dirt roads that weave along a tributary of the White River. Take a walk up the road to our closest neighbor who has a lovely Gotland sheep farm. The sheep and their guardian llama Alaska are typically grazing right by the road in front of the main barn. Kim is also a brilliant fiber artist and occasionally teaches various classes so please feel free to inquire about those if interested. Continue up the road to the dead end and turn left for breathtaking sunset views. If you're looking for something a little more sweaty, grab your bike or head out on a run "around our block" (about 4.5 miles) that takes you around and down to the bustling river, then leads you on a steady incline to an enchanted foot trail that winds up the hill and back around to the top of our road. Dirt roads abound and we're happy to help you figure out a path to explore =) We are also close to several snowmobile trails should you be inclined to stay with us while traveling the VAST.

Clean. Cozy. Quiet. The babbling brook will soothe you to sleep. So wonderful. We will certainly return.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Brookside Cabin on Budding Homestead last weekend while attending the Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival Brookside cabin on Budding Homestead - Washington - Vrbo! It was the absolute perfect, peaceful haven to come back to after a full day of music. Our favorite part of each evening was completely relaxing on the porch in the hammock swing, soaking in the beautiful, soothing sounds of the stream running right below us. After long days out, winding down in the incredibly comfy bed was pure heaven.While the cabin feels like a secluded escape, it was a fantastic home base for exploring. We loved making the scenic, hour-long drives through the gorgeous Vermont landscape to visit Hill Farmstead Brewery and grab a bite at Worthy Burger in South Royalton. Everything about our stay felt so restorative and cozy. Because we were out and about so much, we barely saw our hosts, but Keith and Erika were so friendly—communicating wonderfully through messages and giving us a warm wave whenever we crossed paths. They made sure we felt completely accommodated from start to finish. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
