Guilford Grove Cottage is a simple, comfortable small cottage on the threshold of the forest. A quiet and clean refuge with everything you need to relax in scenic southern Vermont. Prepare meals in the kitchen (breakfast supplies provided), relax on the loveseat, chill on the covered porch and enjoy being on the edge of nature; shoe-free and free from chemicals and artificial fragrances. Brand new construction. Easy access from I-91 & Route 2, 15 mins from Brattleboro and 20 to Greenfield, MA The space The cottage sits up on a small hill about 200 feet from our house and is surrounded by yard and trees. It's a brand new construction (finished in spring 2023). There is a ample natural light throughout the day, especially nice in the morning as the windows are facing east and south. We keep the space free of shoes, so it feels fresh and clean. Pretty much everything inside is new, with the exception of some antique wall hangings and artwork. The kitchen is stocked with tea and coffee supplies, fresh organic milk, butter, instant oatmeal, English muffins and organic free range eggs from Franklin farm up the road. The cabinets have been custom built for the space. Inside you’ll find pots and pans, hot water kettle and most everything you need to prepare basic meals. The bathroom is tiled and pristine with a ceramic bathtub. There is a loft overhead (not accessible to guests) which is mostly empty and used to store items and the hot water heater, these are tucked behind a privacy screen. Our yard and parking area are visible from the cabin, we keep it tidy and have gardens and plants around. Guest access The cabin is yours for the duration of the stay. There is a place to park your vehicle at the base of the small hill (about 40 feet away) and motion-activated lighting along the path at night. The cabin has a loft which is not accessible to guests. Other things to note Behind the cabin is the neighbor's backyard. They are quiet and considerate, but occasionally use a riding mower to mow the lawn. The cabin and our house share the same driveway. ATTN for bookings after Dec 1: We have a steep driveway. We clear the snow ourselves using a snow blower as it’s too steep for a plow. As a result, if there is snow during your stay, we will try our best to clear the snow in time for your seamless arrival/departure but it may be delayed slightly. If your vehicle is unable to make it up the driveway after clearing, you may need to park in one of the lower parking spots and walk up a short distance to the cabin.
