Why Amy Helburn chose Cabot
If you are looking for a charming, rustic retreat that offers privacy, space and activities for a multi-generational family and/or large group of friends - this is the place. You will feel like you have gone back in time, to enjoy a simpler, slower pace of life. Don't worry though, Wi-Fi is provided. The kitchen and dining area adjacent to the large screened porch make this a particularly nice place for groups to gather. And the variety and beauty of outdoor spaces make this property unique - especially the large private swimming pond.

Lovely, Large Country House
Great getaway for my family. Beautifully rustic with fun little cabin for the kids, clean place with comfy beds and well appointed kitchen. I hope to return in the future. Owner was quick to respond and very helpful. Yay Cabot House!
Best trip ever!
My best friend and I (in our 40s) took our moms (in their 70s) on a fall leave-viewing trip to VT. We are so glad we decided to stay in Cabot, away from the hustle and bustle of Stowe. The property is spectacular! After reading the book The Invisible Garden, we couldn't wait to tour all that Dorothy had described. The flowers, pond, mountain trail, and waterfall were all breathtaking. We gathered a gorgeous wildflower bouquet as we walked. The air smelled sweet and fresh.
The house is also a treasure. We were mostly in the kitchen and dining area, although we did spend late evenings in the living area near the main staircase. The house has two heating systems, which kept us nice and toasty. Our favorite place was the big screened patio overlooking the pond. We bundled up and had our coffee out there every morning. We were also lucky enough to see stars at night! No light pollution out there!
We had a great time investigating Cabot (eat at the tiny diner in the Hardware store), Montpelier (eat at Down Home, Sarducci's and the farmer's market on Saturday am), and Hardwick (eat at The Village Restaurant and Positive Pie). The food was the best we've ever had!
Thank you, Amy for sharing your beautiful home! We loved it!!
Cabot home
The house is very nice and the screen porch was wonderful. Turns out we weren’t really private pond kind of people but I’d you don’t mind swimming with koi fish the pond was refreshing. There is lots of space and the 2 living room areas were nice to have. It is a beautiful area but with all the greenery and all make sure you bring bug and tick spray. The owner was great the deal with.
Thanks for posting a review - we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! The bugs have been unusually bad this year, but it is a good idea for people to be realistic about how rural and densely forested this property really is. That is both part of the appeal, and something to be prepared for!
Absolutely Splendid!!
My husband and I, with our three labs, rented this property to celebrate our anniversary. It was so relaxing and peaceful. We all had a wonderful time cooling off and swimming in the pond. One of our dogs suffers from wicked anxiety, the whole time there he never needed his anxiety medicine. Even he was completely comfortable there. The screened porch was our favorite spot to hang out. We will definitely request the property again next year!
AMAZING!!!
Wow! What a GREAT experience! We booked during the FALL FOLIAGE and it did not disappoint. The house with its screened patio overlooking the pond was so beautiful and comfortable! We thoroughly enjoyed it! The bakery in Marshfield has chef quality food (even though you would NEVER guess that!). Sarah's little diner at the back of the hardware store was so quaint and delicious! The general store was stocked with just about everything you need. We went to the Cabot creamery, drove route 100, and many other routes. What a LOVELY EXPERIENCE!!! JUST DO IT!
Absolutely charming!
The property is easily found off the beaten path. Spotless and full of anything and everything you’d want in a home away.
We look forward to coming back again.
