We've got a great little guest room off our mudroom away from the rest of the house. It looks out on our backyard vegetable and flower gardens and up into the woods. The room has a door to the outside.

You'd have sole use of our downstairs full bathroom and living room (our room and family room are upstairs). A 26" HD TV is set up for Netflix streaming or DVD watching (many choices at the general store). Shared kitchen and dining, unlimited long distance calling.

We'll provide a light breakfast of coffee, juice, cereal, yogurt, toast, home-made raspberry jam and fruit. Healthy dinner available for one night for extra fee.

We've got a screened-in porch, wi-fi, pond, plus 400+ acres of surrounding woods and trails. We are at the end of a dirt road, 2/3 mile from the center of the picturesque village of Newbury. (with upscale Village Store if you miss urban coffee and scones) We can provide maps for local sights and hikes.

We also have Endless Pool in our basement for those that are good swimmers.

It is just my husband and me and a little Bichon dog and 2 old cats that are not allowed in guest room. Dogs are welcome.

Price includes 9% Vermont Rooms and Meals Tax.

  • What gracious hosts and a lovely space. It was more than we had hoped. Would highly recommend the space.

  • Louise gave us a warm welcome even though she wasnt at home when we arrived. We appreciated the use of notes on the kittchen-table. She gave us very good hints for hiking-trails and scenic views. We really enjoyed our stay.

  • The location and setting of Louise and Marvin's house was beautiful and relaxing. Our room and all of the provided facilities were of a high standard and allowed for a private and comfortable stay. We enjoyed warm weather and it was great for driving around the beautiful countryside. Louise and Marvin made us feel very relaxed and comfortable, especially through their gracious hospitality, providing us with great complimentary breakfasts and healthy and relaxing dinners at small cost. The location of the house was easy to find, being close enough to bigger towns, while still being far enough away to feel the peace of a country experience. A great stay! Recommended!

  • I really enjoyed staying at Louise & Marvin's place;; they are wondeful people and I loved spending time with all their pets too (make me feel like home)! They are very pleasant and easy-going. And over the dinner, we talked about our trip, airbnb, our lives, about Vermont, etc. Louis cooked wonderful dinners--which is way better choice than going to a local restaurant. You should not miss it either! Their place is beautiful and spacious and they let us use the downstairs living room all to ourselves. I watched some interesting documentaries, played with their pets, and just sitting there looking at all the nice decorations arranged by Louise. They are great hosts. I strongly recommend anyone to stay at their lovely place.

  • Words cannot adequately say how excellent our stay was with Louise and Marv. They welcomed us into their wonderful home and shared their love of Vermont with us, We feel very privileged to have stayed with them.

  • We enjoyed the quietness of the woods. Our room was quiet and clean. It was great to be able to use the kitchen. Louise was helpful with walking trail information, which we took advantage of the great weather.

  • The garden, the house, the bedroom, the dogs, cats, everything is just like the pictures : beautiful ! We were very happy there and we recommand hightly these location. Louise and Marv made us feel like friendsso quickly !

  • Louise was the perfect host from the time I made my reservation. I only stayed one night at her lovely home, but it was a beautiful oasis with a wonderful, rambling garden and pond, adorable dogs and cat, and a quiet, private room. The mattress was supercomfy, everything was immaculate, the room had a wonderful view of the lawn and woods, and was thoughtfully furnished with a fan and a heater. I met Louise briefly in the afternoon of my stay, and she could not have been more solicitous. Sadly, since I came back late at night and left early, I did not have more time with her. I am just sorry I was only able to stay one night!

  • My husband and I had the good fortune to spend a night in this wonderful home surrounded by gardens galore. We had plenty of space, the house was immaculate and the coffee waiting for us in the morning. Even better were the fresh picked blueberries our host provided. Their two friendly dogs made for a playful morning and our only regret was that our visit was too brief.
