The home and property was absolutely pristine.The access to get into the property was very simple with no problems. The kitchen was well organized with a keurig or a pot to brew, your choice. Other kitchen appliances were also available such as blender, etc. Picturesque setting we absolutely loved it here.

Great VT cabin. Great location. Was a fantastic stay at wishing well cabin, new condition, cozy, warm. Very comfortable, super well equipped: washer/dryer, Keurig or drip coffee pots, first aid kit, plenty of towels, soaps. Quick and communicative hosts. Very nice unique touch with eggs, OJ, syrups, pancake mix, bacon at arrival.

Fantastic stay at Wishing Well Cabin!

We recently enjoyed our repeat stay at this beautiful house by the river and near Stratton, and it was just as exceptional as our previous stay. The location is perfect, offering serene river views and quick access to the slopes. The house is impeccably maintained, with cozy interiors and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Dave and Carol are incredibly accommodating, making us feel right at home. We can't wait for our next visit!

Beautiful home, amazing river view!

From the beautiful setting - a rushing river just off the rear deck - to the lovely home and hosts that offered basically everything you’d need, this was a great retreat for our family. The owners are great to work with. They have done a great job of setting up the house for guests and are available to help make sure that you have a great vacation. We will definitely stay here again!!

a short week at wishing well

A lovely cabin in beautiful Jamaica Vt. Extremely well stocked, with everything needed for a great stay, even pancake mix and extra toothbrushes. Hosts are very nice and helpful, while giving you complete privacy. We would enjoy staying again but expect it’s going to be very popular and hard to book.

Highly Recommend!!

This property is by far the best I have ever stayed at. Perfect setting on the river, short path to a swimming hole, linens and supplies provided were over and above anything else I've experienced. The house was immaculate, comfortable and beautifully decorated. David is an excellent communicator - so many great things about this property!

Amazing cabin on the river

By far, the cleanest vrbo I've ever rented. This place has everything you need. Right on the river, you can tube down it or walk through a path to a swimming hole. The owners could not have been more helpful - so responsive, but also left us to enjoy our weekend. Super-easy check-in/out. Book this cabin, you will not regret it!

The most relaxing vacation ever!

Dave and Carol are wonderful, thoughtful hosts to a well stocked, supet clean and comfortably decorated home . Off the back deck of the home is a firepit just a short distance from a calming rolling brook which kept 3 children and 5 adult rock hunters occupied for hours! The house is also just a short distance from a small market and a farmstand with a bakery . If you are looking for a peaceful vacation we can't say enough about the Wishing Well and its hosts! Thank you, Dave and Carol 😃

Amazing property

We loved every bit of this property and our stay. Convenient location to restaurants and hiking. The hosts provide the first breakfast of eggs, english muffins, and bacon and oj. Plenty of coffee making options from a Keurig, regular pot and even an espresso maker. Coffee grounds included. This is a well stocked kitchen to be able to bring food and cook. The downstairs bed was very comfortable and right next to the main bathroom. The river is directly out the backdoor and fun to wade in when the water isn’t too high. We would highly recommend this vacation spot.

A peaceful place

As soon as you walk in you can feel how much care was put into your comfort. This is the most well thought out house I have stayed at. You can tell there has been great effort in the details. If you forget something I’m sure you’ll find it there. The house is immaculate. We spent most of our time exploring the river and island footsteps from the porch. We loved the fire pit and enjoyed the games provided. Jamaica, Vt. is one our favorite places to relax. This will be our first choice if available for future trips. Thank you!!
