We absolutely loved the SunCottage! Our stay was amazing and we enjoyed every moment. The house is gorgeous with so many great amenities. The landscape is so beautiful! Each morning we enjoyed our breakfast down on the back porch where we relaxed to the sound of the brook! It is so quiet and peaceful here! We had an amazing vacation and we thank you both for all the love and dedication you pour into this house and landscape. We hope to stay again!

We also loved exploring Woodstock! The town is lovely! Spoke many shops, and fun things to do! Thank you for the restaurant suggestions! Very good!

Sublime, idyllic, restorative, ecologically magnificent. The SunCottage is all of these adjectives and more. We can’t thank you enough for hosting us.

David and I had a wonderful week. We had walked past the SunCottage and wanted to experience a truly sustainable home. The green roof was so beautiful and we marveled at the bottlewall which in not only gorgeous but serves a purpose.

Thank you Graham for carving a new path into the ‘pool’ which we thoroughly enjoyed dipping into after a sauna. Hunter, tha you for explaining so clearly how the house was built and answering a myriad of questions. The wood chip/whey pile is ingenious. There were so many interesting elements to the Sun Cottage and we loved the beautiful art works and the digital mural. The generous arrival package of cheese, beer, milk and coffee was a lovely surprise.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We will be back!

                                    Sue & David from Washington, DC

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. We had such a wonderful time exploring the grounds, sledding, ice-skating and eaning our weights' worth of maple creamies. Walking through downtown Woodstock was charming and we loved stopping inside the Vermont Flannel store, getting lost inside the bookstore, and enjoying the warmth of the fire at the Woodstock Inn.

However, the highlight of this trip had to be the SunCottage itself. We spent many a night relaxing in the jacuzzi, dancing to music through the surround sound speakers, or just cracking a window to fall asleep to the sound of the streams. Your attention to detail, generosity and hospitality made our stay unforgettable.

What a beautiful cottage! Everything was truly exquisite. Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness - we loved having milk, Vermont cheeses, maple syrup and Lawson's beer waiting for us. Everything was meticulous, first class and beautiful. We had a fabulous time. You can tell the thought and love that went into creating the SunCottage,

We were able to truly relax and enjoy the beautiful views from the living room and hot tub. We loved the hops growing up the side of the house, it reminded us of Germany! We also really enjoyed your beautiful gardens and the sound of the stream on the property. Thank you for welcoming us to the SunCottage! We hope to visit again soon! This place is magical. Thank you!

                                    Justin & Robert from Texas

Thank you so much for welcoming us into your beautiful SunCottage. We had a wonderful time celebrating Emma & Alex's wedding. We loved running from your home, exploring the fields across the stream, swimming in the pond, taking sauna and relaxing with old friends.

Your SunCottage reminds me of my time on a farm in Goteborg, Sweden and of my family home on the Åland Islands in Finland. The Swedish design has been executed perfectly! It is so perfect that it makes me a little homesick for my childhood. I wish I could spend more time here to soak it all in!

Tack så mycket. Jag är så tacksam för dig, ditt hem är så vackert.

We loved our stay at the SunCottage! Every detail is thoughtfully considered. Every time we needed anything, it was always just within reach. The property is naturally beautiful and lovingly cared for. We were here to celebrate our daughter's graduation. It was so nice that in between parties and events we could retreat to this beautiful space to rest and gather ourselves. Your off-the-grid tech has inspired us to investigate the same for our house in South Texas.

We would love to return one day. Until then, thank uyou for being such gracious hosts.

Our best -

                                    Lisa & Larry from Texas

What a truly marvelous place to decompress and soak into the moment. We will miss morning coffee with the sun shining through, along with the sounds of the roaming river post rainfall.

Can we just play backgammon in the hot tub forever?! What a treat, especially amdist snowfall.

PS We highly recommend sledding (wear helmets) when skiing is not an option.

                                    Nichole & Emily from Chicago

The sun is coming up and the snow is beautiful. We don't want to leave!! This place was truly HYGGE HEAVEN - what a fabulous relaxing invigorating way to get through a long New England winter!

We enjoyed walking and skiing around the property, and walking the country roads - up Fletcher Schoolhouse Road & along Benedict; Green Road and bushwacking across to Church Hill (thanks Google maps) along Kendall Road over to the Methodist Cemetery.

We skied over at the Nordic Center, Killington. We walked around Woodstock and hiked Mount Peg. And every day we stretched and moved in that amazing space downstairs and every evening we jumped into the hot tub and then into the sauna! What more could anyone ask for?!

And in the moments between, we lounged about like cats purring in the sunlight, reading, studying, sketching.

                                    Henrietta & Paul from Massachusetts

Thank you so much for amazing week in your beautiful AirBnB. We have stayed in a lot of AirBnBs and this is the most luxurious. We enjoyed the hot tub every day we were here. It was so special to stay in such a well designed and intentional home. It's amazing what you two have done in terms of being environmentally conscious.

Connor and I enjoyed exploring Vermont on our own for the first time without his parents, but we would not be here without their thoughtful gift. Please find a token of their appreciation. There are plenty more breweries, quaint shops, and King Arthur Flour courses for us to enjoy. So we will definitely be back!

Best-

                                    Deb & Conor from New Jersey

What an awesome experience this has been! My husband and I enjoyed every minute we spent here for our 25th anniversary :)

We loved to venture out and explore the area, be we loved even more to come back to the quiet and cozy little 'SunCottage'.

Thank you so much for your kind and genrouss hospitality. t truly was a MEMORABLE experience.

                                  Shawn & Corey from Missouri

Wow, the SunCottage has exceeded our expectations in every way. Every element of your home and the grounds are just exquisite. It has made us consider moving to Vermont!

Thank you for all of the special touches and the thought and care you've put into making our stay here so memorable.

                                  Barrie & Ron from North Carolina

South Woodstock & the SunCottage are simply marvelous! Truly there is not an adequate description. The SunCottage will forever be our "Gold Standard" for vacation rentals!

Two weeks was not enough! :)

                                  Mechelle & Phyllis from Texas

“Thank you "SunCottage" for showing us the "Sunny side of Life" in spite of all the rain! It is heavenly here in this very special place of yours. Thank you Hunt & Jess for this spectacular, gala birthday weekend, so much fun celebrating with you! ”

                                  Marilyn & Joe from New Hampshire

“To break the mundane day-to-day of working in Boston we fled to the SunCottage. To say the past week was amazing is an understatement. We skiied for three days at Killington enjoying perfect spring conditions. We walked daily to the country store for muffins and coffee and enjoyed the sound of the stream as we worked. By night we relaxed in the hot tub and sauna and enjoyed an amazing dinner at the Ransom Tavern, the burrata was 10/10.

Our highlight was sledding on the back field. We took a work break and flew down the hill shrieking with joy - like children - just having a rare carefree adult moment.

You are provinding people with a very special experience here in Vermont. Thank you!”

                                  Alita & Ian from Texas

“A thoughtful home in the most idyllic location. The photos do not do the SunCottage justice; it’s even better in person! It could not have been more peaceful and was perfect for our mid-week anniversary getaway. Immaculate and well decorated with everything you could possibly need. We took full advantage of the amenities offered. The hot tub and sauna were a great way to wind down at the end of the day. Even the painting supplies (such a nice touch!)

As for the location, you’re only a short drive away from the town of Woodstock. Just down the street there’s an Inn with a tavern and a little country store. We ordered food from both and were beyond impressed. We already can’t wait to come back again for another stay! Hopefully sometime in the summer so we can enjoy the pond and surrounding property even more.”

                                  Cara & Dylan from Massachusetts

“The Sun Cottage was a wonderful getaway. The house looks even better than the pictures. The hot tub is perfect for 2, it was very clean as was the sauna. It was a pleasure to be able to exercise on the NordicTrack or row machine every morning. The decor was simple, beautiful and comfortable. The reading room is the perfect place to read a book in the warmth of the sunlight streaming through the windows. Even the fully equipped kitchen made it easy to cook and stay in all 4 nights of our visit. Our stay was exactly what we needed and we would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing get away.”

                                  Dylan & Victoria from Connecticut

Wow! Just wow. We have been AirBnB users for awhile now - but this is above & beyond by far our best experience! From the in-home amenities to the very well-thought out, well designed technology, we loved every second! As a skier, Mark got to explore Killington’s slopes solo, and then together we went on a snowmobiling adventure. (Both our first times!) As more of an indoor girl, I thoroughly enjoyed the natural light, morning workouts, and the sauna/hot tub were truly the cherry on top! The beauty of our surroundings never ceased to take our breath away. We even hiked to the top of the hill for some Instagram picturesque views & sled down!

The way the sun hits the snow created the most amazing glistening trees all throughout the day. We loved to admire the glass wall also - great photo backdrop! We cooked hearty breakfasts and went out for dinners - Ransom Tavern was our favorite! We even loved the digital art frame.

I am not a painter but wished to make some art, maybe next time! We definitely plan to come back in the future - perhaps for summer or fall. We’d love to see some wildlife. It was too cold even for the animals this time!

We are grateful to our hosts for this time here. After canceling our Italy 2020 trip, we needed a change of scenery, and this certainly was the perfect winter escape. We wish we could quarantine here forever. Ha!

We also loved the milk, cheese, beer, etc. All the thoughtful little touches were just perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts -

                                  Mark & Jess from New York

It's January, 2021 and we are in the depths of the pandemic. Inauguration day looms. My husband, Ian, and I are in Vermont for a respite from running our breakfast & lunch restaurant in Portland, Maine.

We stayed in the SunCottage for 5 nights and it's pure bliss. Morning exercise, hot tubs, lazy afternoon puzzling, cocktail hour, charcroute, fires at sunset. I don't think we even left for two straight days. The snow was beautiful.

We loved all the energy saving features at the house... very inspirational!

OK, a few more hours to relax and then we have to pack the car... the GRIND calls.

                              XOXO,  Lucy & Ian from Maine

              P.S. Got an amazing Flannel house dress type shirt @ Vermont Flannel

We're a newly engaged couple and after months of quarantine, were dying for some space and a change of scenery. Our stay at the SunCottage gave us that and so much more.

Upon arrival, we were just blown away by the cottage itself (the pictures just can't do it justice!) Everything was done so thoughtfully and with purpose, and the craftmanship is top-notch.

We enjoyed every bit of what the cottage has to offer - the hot tub, exercise and sauna, even the paint. We even played scrabble for hours!

While we loved Woodstock, our trip would not have been the same had we not stayed here And to be just up the hill from some of the best pizza we've ever had? WOW!

Thank you for creating a space that people from all over will be able to experience. We will be back!!

                                  Jamie & Bill from New Jersey

We had a spectacular week at the SunCottage. We are leaving here feeling so completely rejuvenated and relaxed. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces of the property provided such a tranquil environment. We loved falling asleep each night to the soothing sounds of the babbling brook and waterfalls.

Highlights of our week included hiking to the Pogue, visiting Quechee Gorge, and exploring the scenic country roads. This amazing and unique experience has far exceeded our expectations. Thanks so much for your hospitality.

                                  Doreen & Danielle from Massachusetts

We had the best time on our babymoon here at the SunCottage - thank you! If there is a definition of relaxation and tranquility, this place is it. We loved exploring the beautiful grounds, using the firepit and all the amenities. My husband loved the hot tub and we will definitely be back so I can use it! The welcome gifts like the beer, milk and others, along with the gorgeous flowers really made us feel welcome and right at home (even if it was just a few days). This is by far our favorite AirBnB experience to date and we can’t wait to return.

                                   Jessica & Colter from New Hampshire

The pandemic halted our trip to Cancun... we still wanted a getaway. I'd like to thank Covid-19 for allowing us the opportunity to find the SunCottage. I have never had to drag myself away from a vacation spot before- I don't want to leave! The 'cottage' is beautiful with the design and intentional layout, the thought and planning here is very much appreciated. The outside landscape, the natural beauty, is the star here. To be still and listen to the water, the bugs, the leaves in the breeze... thank you for allowing the average person to afford time in this paradise.

We went to Harpoon Brewery (Mango beer!), Melaza (veggie empanada and guava mojito!), the Killington Market (delicious deli sandwiches). We did a one hour ride at ATV Vermont which was even more fun than anticipated, but being here, inside watching Netflix, outside looking at the stars at night, hot tub, rowing on the machine to work off some Cabot cheese indulgence, laying on the rock wall sunning myself... it's just magic. Thank you, we will be back again.

                                   Genna & Jorge from New York

We love this place! So beautifully put together, feels like a sanctuary. So open, airy and bright. Quiet and private, yet close toa area activities and dining. The sound of the stream was absolutely lulling. The stonework and landscape, artful.

The Worthy Kitchen served us a very nice dinner (burger & salad(. We also enjoyed dining at the Kedron Valley Inn, and coffee and muffins from the General Store.

Swimming in the pond was lovely and calm while getting we at '20 Foot Falls was exhilarating. We had such beautiful summer weather this week that it was hard to stop moving! Except for the time to have a soak in the hot tub, which we so appreciate!!

Wish we were staying another week. Boo, time to go though. Thank you for the treats (beer, cheese, milk and flowers) And for being so responsive when we had questions. Couldn't have had a better time or found a better place. We're looking forward to returning next year!!

                                   Ivey & John from Connecticut

The cottage was beautiful and sparkling clean. The gym, hot tub, and unique eco-friendly design made us feel like we were at a high-end spa. With the windows open, you can hear the relaxing sound of the brook.

                                   Nick & Jung from New York

The SunCottage was amazing, the perfectly peaceful getaway for my fiancé and I. The home itself was immaculate and wonderfully built with minimalist Scandinavian design. Boasting natural stone and wood, magnificent windows and simple modern furniture. Overlooking a beautiful landscape with a cascading stream and mountains in the distance you are truly able to admire nature. Just across the bridge to the walking trails you can enjoy the stone fire pit that sits under the star light sky. The stars on a clear night really left is in awe and is a sight to remember.

The amenities were the cherry on top to this already gorgeous place. The hot tub, sauna work out equipment, and spacious cozy loft helped us relax and soak up every moment of our vacation. There is also super cool energy efficient elements to the cottage like a solar panel, Tesla energy storage batteries, up to date outlets with USB ports, a bottle wall that’s artistic and generates heat, even a solar tracker that casts the sun's light.

Hunter and Jess were very welcoming and thoughtful hosts. The house was very clean and prepared for guests. A lovely welcome packet that had all information about the home, stay, and area. Small signs throughout with explanations on all the amenities and need to knows. The owners lived very nearby but never did we feel interrupted or unwelcome. This was truly the best place and I’m so happy it’s were we chose to get away!!!

                                   Kala & Manuel from Rhode Island

I couldn't imagine a better place to spend our vacation. Working long hours in the hospital, it's easy to feel disconnected from nature and its beauty. The SunCottage is grounded in the surroundings and one cannot spend a minute without being transported to the snowy landscapes outside. We loved sitting in the hot tub while watching snow quietly fall, walking under clear starry skies to Kedron Valley Inn for steaming pizza and a bottle of Nebbiolo, and morning card games with hot coffee in the light filled living room. We can't wait for our next visit! This is truly a unique place and we won't forget it -

                                   Jessica & Peter from Virginia

Hunter and Jessica, thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. It was the perfect quiet getaway that we needed from NYC. We'll be sure to recommend your place to our friends and family back home. Cheers! XO

                                   Jamie & Lewis from New York City

Dear Jessica and Hunter thank you so much for having us at this amazing home away from home SunCottage what a gorgeous setting in every step we take inside is another revelation as to your planning design and comfort center details just amazing with gratitude for our wonderful experience

PS The hot tub was the perfect way to end the day!

                                   Michael & Joan from Florida

So thoughtful in design, with every possible amenity for the lucky guest. Thank you for providing the perfect retreat. I was able to leave my busy little world far behind, recharge in nature, and share new adventures with wonderful old friends. Thanks Hunt & Jess!

                                   Carl & Lisa from Connecticut

What a treat staying in such an innovative creative and so interesting a cottage with all the comforts of home. You can cook a grilled cheese sandwich or a five star gourmet meal. On top of all of that, a fabulous hot tub and babbling brook. Oh my pure heaven! Great job, Hunter and Jess, much success,
