What Our Guests Are Saying:
Susan
July 2025
“We had a great stay in Mark’s beautiful and unique home (which is a renovated barn). We felt welcome upon entering. The house is beautifully decorated and was very clean and organized. Mark was very responsive to questions and concerns that arose. He is a very kind and gracious host! My family of seven adults were all comfortable and we were able to be close by to family who live in the Bennington area. Thank you Mark for offering your home for us to enjoy. Highly recommend!”
