Option for use of full kitchen and laundry (shared w/owner) with request! The space Apartment located on the bottom floor of a newly remodeled Deck House, our home is a couple miles up a quiet wooded road (for city people will feel like the middle of nowhere- despite being 2 miles to the heart of Quechee) that truly gives the feeling of a tranquil escape.

The space is owner occupied (which includes a 2 y/o) and is not sound proofed. Expect to hear life above! There is a sound machine and fan available in the space to help mitigate noise when/if necessary. All things considered, we are a fairly quiet family (more often than not just one adult and one child at home) but you will hear us when we are home (generally out during the week day work hours and home in evenings). We are a dog friendly/pet friendly home. Please inquire about pets upon booking, as we have a couple of requests for Pets. Note that there are two cats who live above who are outside a lot in the summer The lower space is cat free. We require a pet free to ensure extra capacity for cleaning and to make it possible to continue renting to pet owners- which is a priority for us. We have a steep driveway that is professionally plowed and sanded, but can be slippery in winter. Similarly- we keep the path to the BnB entrance well sanded- but do have option of entering through main house if this pathway gets too slippery. In a big storm- we get plowed on timeline of snow removal schedule... in large storms there could be delays in getting out. Guest access Some maps applications cannot find our home, though others can. No matter what, any GPS will get you to the center of Quechee (and Quechee library)- from there- look at directions provided once you have booked to ensure you are going to the right place. We are about 10 minutes from exit 1 on I89 in Vermont and just 2 miles from Simon Pearce Restaurant. Other things to note As a bottom floor space, you should expect to hear footsteps and other sounds of life above. Additionally, one family member is 2- and she sounds like a two year old!! While we are quiet, private and friendly, you will hear footsteps, voices, the toddler having feelings and noises from doing dishes and general sounds of life above. We will also be able to hear some sounds from you- particularly when we are in our kitchen. Seeking guests who will be respectful and also understanding regarding some noise. As noted above- we do offer some noise mitigation options (a fan, SONOS speakers and a sound machine). As noted above- I am happy to negotiate use of kitchen (stove top/cookware and freezer in particular) as well as access to laundry. Just message me prior to or upon booking so we can coordinate- as these would be shared with owner. Guests can access amenities at the Quechee Lakes Club such as indoor/outdoor pools, the fitness center, golf, tennis and skiing by calling the Quechee Club member services number (made available after booking) and paying a fee.
