What Our Guests Are Saying
My fiancé and I celebrated our engagement at the Hilltop and it was a perfect place for the occasion. The open-concept design of the house makes it feel very spacious and airy. The island in the middle of the kitchen can seat 2-3 people and has ample counter space. It quickly became our favorite place to sit and have a glass of champagne. There are large windows everywhere that offer plenty of natural light. The design of the master bedroom is also very unique—sliding doors connect the bedroom to the bathroom and walk-in closet, allowing one to leave the space open or close the doors for extra privacy. The view from the bathtub is totally spectacular. The outdoor pool and hot tub were also highlights of our stay. The pool is long enough to swim laps and the hot tub jets have great pressure for those seeking a nice massage! The views of the sunset from the lawn (also where the bathtub faces) are stunning (picture pink skies framed by beautiful trees). We will definitely be back!
The host was kind and responded quickly. The home was beautiful and well kept. The hot tub and fire pit was an added treat to the whole experience.
This was an absolutely beautiful house! From the second you drive down the driveway, you see the lake framing the backdrop of the house and it is stunning. Ample area for pets and a good space to hang out and play. Note that’s it’s not very ideal swimming conditions right off the dock, but the hosts provided kayaks and paddle boards for activities on the lake and I think brave swimmers would find better waters a little bit in. We had a great time fishing off the dock (you have to bring your own poles) – lots of fish biting at all times of the day! The indoors is well appointed and has everything you need to cook and stay. As hard as it is to believe, the house and views were even better than the pictures showed. Would recommend this place to anyone.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming Airbnb just outside of Stowe! The property was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. My wife, our dog, and I especially loved spending time out on the deck, which offered stunning views and a great spot to unwind. The space was clean, well-maintained, and felt like a true home away from home. It was the perfect base for exploring the Stowe area while also being tucked away enough to enjoy some quiet and privacy. We’d absolutely come back again!
In a word – stellar! Birch & Buck is really an amazing place with so many thoughtful touches from top to bottom and the attention paid to small details is extraordinary. We had eight people across three generations, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the time spent in this house. We loved the design, the views, the art, the layout, the amenities, and the level of effort that went into making the house special. We will be back.
I had a lovely visit with a good friend. The air bnb stood out to us because of how beautiful the photos were and they didn’t do the place justice. It was so nice to stay in a place that felt like it was cut from a magazine. The home is in a private space but not far from restaurants and other towns with cute shops. We were close to lots of hiking trails and coastlines. I am quite sure I’ll be back!
The location, house, facilities and decor were all superb. This house was someone’s pet project and was definitely made with incredible eye for detail and design. It’s a spectacular house with some minor issues, which I think the owners are working to rectify (roof deck damaged and inaccessible, minor repairs required) It was a pity that it was raining all weekend so we couldn’t enjoy the pool however it was surprisingly clean and naturally warm enough to dip our toes. The rooms, cleanliness, amenities were all very good.
We only two concerns – 1) Some of the things were either broken or did not function. e.g. The ice machine in the fridge or the one separate both did not function at all. There was no facility for ice in the house. One of the hobs was broken and completely non-functional. 2) We got locked out because the main door closed behind us. Thankfully there is a backup key with a lock however it took an hour to get to that key because the codes provided were incorrect. I advise checking all codes as you check in to ensure you have backups in place.
We will definitely be coming back for a warmer weekend stay to fully enjoy the place. In fact I would say it’s one of the best places we’ve stayed at in terms of how well it’s designed and what a beautiful oasis it is away from the din of the cities and towns. The proximity to all the Hudson / Berkshires towns / villages was a major plus too.
Some suggestions to owners / operators would be to include a printed Handbook / House Guide in the house to outline certain systems of the house (we couldn’t figure out the sound system at all, which is a pity because that living room deserves a good system). Hopefully all the issues are already being addressed and we look forward to our next stay.
We had such a peaceful stay at this beautiful home. The surroundings are gorgeous and secluded. It was just as enjoyable to sit in the sun on the deck as it was to be cozy inside the home during rainstorms. Great location within proximity to Narrowsburg, nice restaurants and hiking close by to the home.
The home is well appointed and very comfortable. We especially appreciated black out shades in the bedroom, a well stocked kitchen and a fantastic grill!

We absolutely loved this peaceful oasis! Perfect for our weekend getaway. The home feels warm and welcoming with eclectic and thoughtful decor. Vintage feels with all the modern updates. Felt like we were staying at a friend’s house- lived in but not cluttered at all. Clean as a whistle, and the beds were super comfy. We enjoyed the vinyl collection and bookshelves on a rainy day. The pond is peaceful, yet full of wildlife- Must love frogs! The babbling brook was the perfect background noise for a quick hike right on the property. Hosts were available but we didn’t need anything from them then since it was all prepped and easy to navigate. Only wish we could have spent more time there!
Beautiful modern elegance in the woods. The home was beautiful and comfortable. It was very well appointed for cooking and relaxing. Be aware that it is on an unpacked road, which is common for the area. I made it up and down fine but in slipperier winter conditions, it could be something to keep in mind. I’d go back again for at least a week just to decompress on the beautiful deck looking into the woods. Pure heaven!!
The home offered incredible views and a serene, private setting that was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The space was beautifully designed every detail of the interior was thoughtfully curated, creating a warm, cozy, and stylish atmosphere. Even though our weekend was filled with rain and thunderstorms, we ended up embracing the weather and had an unforgettable time indoors. The loft was the perfect cozy hideaway to snuggle up with the family to watch movies and play board games while the storm rolled through. The sound of rain on the roof only added to the charm. The home came fully stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to comfy blankets. Parking was a breeze, and the host was incredibly responsive and professional throughout our stay. While we missed out on some outdoor adventures and the chance to enjoy a BBQ, the comfort and design of the home made staying in a real treat. Definitely recommend this Charm!
Communications were very good and clear prior to our stay. The accommodation was extremely clean and wonderfully comfortable. We enjoyed the area enormously and sometimes walked into the town and shops. Our three generation family played lots of games and prepared meals together. A really enjoyable vacation.
Deer meadows is a lovely property, we loved the bedrooms with full bathrooms and the kitchen especially. We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the private location. Great space for a family gathering.
The A/C did not work when we arrived (it was 80* in June) but Red cottage was responsive and got it fixed the next day, and provided a refund for the first night. Not ideal but they got it fixed and we appreciated that. Hopefully they will proactively check to ensure the heat/AC is fully functional before future bookings.

This was truly one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at. The property was beautiful, even more gorgeous than the photos. The views and design of the house were so serene.
The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, with many tools and cooking supplies. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. Everything was so comfortable and thoughtful. We kept remarking how the owners and team really thought of everything.
We traveled with another family and had 3 kids under the age of 3, so spent most of our trip at the house and by the pool. It was perfect! There’s a grocery store within a 10 minute drive, and the town of Cairo had tons of cute spots for coffee. We absolutely will be back.

Perfection!
There are not enough positive and kind words to express the degree of happiness, peace and contentment we felt while staying here. They are the ultimate host, attention to detail in every single way they truly make you feel at home right from the start and in all of the considerate little details throughout the property! It was truly the BEST stay we have experienced and everything was so clean and the surroundings were blissful!
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay we will be back without a doubt!

The stone house was the perfect spot to stay for our day trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was so unique and special. The location was so quiet and peaceful- not too far from Acadia, but far enough to have the opportunity to see Maines beautiful farmland and small

One major key point I want to point out – where Wildwood Collective went above and beyond- when we checked in we noticed that we had no coffee beans as described in the listing. They responded right away and brought us fresh coffee beans within the hour. I know this seems minor but it left a lasting impression on us. It would have been a big inconvenience to go back into the town (at least a 20 min drive) to get beans.
It meant a lot to us and set the tone for the entire stay.
We loved the stone house and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and thoughtful stay.

I recently went camping at Red Cottage and had a truly wonderful experience. The setting is serene and beautifully maintained — perfect for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy nature. The lake was incredibly peaceful, ideal for a quiet morning by the water or a refreshing dip in the afternoon.
The hiking trails were well-marked and led through some stunning scenery, offering a great mix of forest paths and open views. We especially loved winding down the day at the campfire site, where we could relax, share stories, and enjoy the stars.
If you’re looking for a spot to recharge in nature with just the right amount of adventure, Red Cottage is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

My family and I had a nice and relaxing time.. The place is beautiful some minor things but they were very responsive. I will absolutely recommend this place and will love to come back on a warmer weekend to enjoy the hot tub and local adventures. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home..
David’s house is really special. We rented with several other families (8 adults, 6 kids) and there was plenty of space for us all. We loved that we could all have our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The house is so clean, thoughtfully decorated, and comfortable inside and the outside has so much to do for kids (pool, huge yard. Zip line, fire pit). It’s one of the nicest airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Great location close to Woodstock, phonenicia, hiking, the rail trail. We are hoping to return next year.
