Picture Perfect Vermont Home

Spacious house perfect for large groups. It has everything and more you could need. Gorgeous views and the grounds were beautiful! Perfect place for quiet mornings of coffee on the porch watching the sun rise. Fall foliage was spectacular.

Hartland VT Family Visit

Very clean and well designed for a group! Lovely indoor and outdoor areas for hanging out. Beautiful views and gardens. Great kitchen. Hosts are lovely and helpful. Easy to reach. Location is rural, but just a few short miles from Woodstock, Quechee, and more. Highly recommended.

Wonderful New England Thanksgiving

This is the perfect house for a family. Plenty of space. Every amenity. Clean and comfortable. We did all of our cooking at the house and the Kitchen was perfect for cooks. Great range, 30" double ovens, all of the cooking gear you need. We would highly recommend this house for a family!

Quiet and Serene

When we arrived, we were stunned at how beautiful the house is and you can tell how much love Briana has put into her home. The listing did not do the location justice. We had everything we needed and we're so comfortable during our stay. We didn't want to leave. Our host was communicative and helpful. The house was clean, spacious, and had so many breath taking views. I hope we can return one day.

Beautiful home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway to this beautiful property. The home is spacious and beautiful with a lovely large open kitchen. We love the maple syrup made by the owners. The driveway is steep but very well maintained. We had no issues with four wheel drive and snow tires. Overall a perfect getaway. I highly recommend this home. I want to go back in the fall because I’m sure the foliage is stunning to see from the front porch.

Lovely Fall Weekend

This house is well located -- under 10 minutes to Simon Pearce! It's a charming ride up a hilly road so the views are lovely from different rooms and several outdoor spaces. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. Quirky placement of light switches! Our host was gracious and friendly. This home worked really well for four couples (with a third-floor bedroom to spare). Thank you, Briana!

A sad time made happy

We needed a place near Hanover to stay so we could attend a memorial service for my parents. Hill Top Garden was perfect. The house is surrounded by beauty and peace. The view of Mt Ascutney looked like a Vermont postcard. Briana is a thoughtful hostess. The beds were all so comfortable with warm quilts and extra blankets in every room. I only wish I liked to cook, because the kitchen was stocked with so many neat gadgets that I am sure experienced cooks would love. I would have liked to have more time to walk and explore the property, because it offered Vermont beauty with so many places to sit and just enjoy the views. This place was exactly what we needed. Thank you Briana.

What a FANTASTIC stay!

I cannot sing the praises of this home and host family enough. The home was as described or, if anything, better than described. The views were remarkable to distant Mt Ascutney, the accommodations extremely warm and comfortable, and the property so lovely we spent more time than expected snow-shoeing in the woods or simply walking on the quiet Vermont country roads just down the long driveway. Our hosts were nearby staying in their sugar house and when we had questions or small issues were there at a moment's notice to help us out. You have to try their delicious maple syrup. Would I recommend this? NO, because we want it to ourselves! Of course, I would recommend it with the highest regard and plan to stay again. Note that Hanover, NH and Woodstock (lovely towns and great shopping) were very close and Killington well under an hour's drive.

We loved our stay at Hilltop Gardens

This house and grounds are so beautiful and tranquil. It is private and quiet, but not far from Quechee and Woodstock. Quechee Inn was only 18 minutes away the long route due to the covered bridge being shut down, yet we were out in the country to enjoy seeing deer and wild turkey meander around the grounds. The hardscaping and landscaping are museum quality, all done by our host who lives nearby. She invited us to pick blueberries as they were in season. As sweet as candy and delicious. The furnishings are all first rate, the house has all high end finishes, and equipment for cooking or just relaxing is high quality and plentiful. We were looking for a property that would accommodate our family for a 4 night stay and it was perfect. Without the light pollution we had the opportunity to star gaze the milky way, constellations, meteors, and the International space station. If you want a place to get away and relax, yet be close to most activities the area offers, this is it.

Magical farmhouse in nature and attractions

We spent a rejuvenating week at Briana's lovely farmhouse near Quechee, Vermont. The house was inviting, airy, and charming. We spent most mornings drinking the local coffee on the porch, watching the misty recede from the valley and hills that lay before us like a scene from a film. Our host, Briana made everything easy and convenient to check in. The house had every amenity for a cozy family get away. We could pick fresh blueberries and Jalepeno peppers from the graden, and while it was in a relatively secluded hillside location overlooking a bucolic valley, the house was just minutes from the village of Quechee, with its quaint covered bridge, glassworks factory and falls. The Quechee state park, nature center and spectacular gorge were also just down the road. Nearby, Jake's grocery store had a delightful selection of fine foods, beer, coffee and cheeses. The house was also just a few further miles to the charming town of Woodstock, VT. where we ate the best burgers at the White Cottage Snack Bar! We had the perfect, end-of-summer cozy getaway with family, enjoying books, hiking, biking and pleasant evenings around the fire pit. We definitely hope to go back.

Fantastic Farmhouse Stay

Everything was great with this house. Had plenty of kitchenware and very well organized, provided certain things that everyone needs when they travel. It's also a beautiful and peaceful location. The hosts were also easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to communications. Would recommend this house to everyone.

Amazing house and property

My family and I spent a glorious Thanksgiving at this amazing property. The home is gorgeous as is the property it sits on. Glorious views of Mt. Ascutney from a sumptuous front porch. The owner couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. We liked that there was no TV in the living room. Plenty of other TVs to watch the game on. The family had a lovely time gathering and playing board games in the peaceful living room.

Wonderful stay!

We absolutely loved staying at this property and Brianna was an incredible host. We were forced to leave for our vacation early due to an impending hurricane and Brianna was more than accommodating! She went above and beyond and we are so appreciative! Everything was picture perfect and the house was fully equipped. Great location for exploring the fall foliage! Would highly recommend!
