We stayed at the Horkan House for a last minute, one night visit for my daughter's birthday and opening softball game. It is conveniently located 15 minutes away from Green Mountain College. The cabin is very clean, nicely decorated and well appointed. It has all of the comforts of home. We hope to stay there again when we have more time to visit and explore.

CLASSY RURAL VERMONT PARADISE

M wife of 49 years and I wish we would have had more than three weeks to enjoy this lovely country home and surrounds. However, we had plenty of time to appreciate the cozy little town of Middleton Springs, population 700. Each morning we drove the two miles to the General Store at the crossroads for newspapers, donuts, and other provisions.

We visited many beautiful areas including the cities of Rutland, Manchester, Killington and Woodstock. We saw the Calvin Coolidge estate in Plymouth, the Wilson Castle in Rutland, saw the Lincoln Home and toured the famous Equinox Resort in Manchester. We ate lunch in the eclectic town of Dorset.

The Horkanhouse house and property was breathtaking with the mountain stream and gorgeous 20' waterfall. I caught three nice, brown trout and enjoyed daily walks through the woods and along the stream. I love bird watching so I brought my Spotting Scope and purchased four different bird feeders and the necessary bird food to attract the following: Cardinals, American Goldfinch, Black Capped Chickadees, red and white breasted Nuthatch, Robins, Gray Catbirds, Orchard Orioles, Pine Warblers, Pine Siskens, Rufus Hummingbirds, Blue Jays, Tufted Titmouse, Common Flickers, Downey Woodpeckers and Purple Finches.

The 500' wrap around deck offered a perfect spot to relax and enjoy all that Mother Nature had to offer. Peace and quiet among the Green Mountains provided a most rewarding true vacation. Of equal importance were the people we met along the way. Genuinely friendly! Reminded me of my roots in the Midwest.

I highly recommend a booking at the Horkanhouse. You will love it. The wonderful owner will make sure of it! Dick and Sandy in Naples
