Sun drenched cozy cottage on budding 17 acre homestead

Wannagetaway? Nestled in the hills of old Vermont, our remodelled studio cabin provides the perfect opportunity to unwind and reconnect. Full kitchenette and outdoor grill allow you to engage your inner foodie while enjoying your favorite glass of indulgence. From sunrise coffee on the front porch to sunset libations on the side porch glider, Sol is bathed in light all day. A natural birch 4 post bed with linen sheets perched in front of the fireplace will seamlessly melt you into dreamland.
Semi secluded sitting area in grass field directly behind cabin with fire pit and another fire pit located near our brook for you to enjoy (Firewood available for purchase).

We live in a very peaceful and rural area of north central Vermont which provides a great mix of quiet and privacy, but is also with in an hours drive to most of the states interest points. There are 16 ski resorts within an hours drive, as well as breweries, State Parks, lakes and more. Fine dining is available within 30 minutes in multiple directions. Sitting at just over 1600’, we are in a unique microclimate that sometimes get a bit more snow than our surrounding towns. Our neighborhood is all tree lined winding dirt roads that weave along a tributary of the White River. Take a walk up the road to our closest neighbor who has a lovely Gotland sheep farm. The sheep and their guardian llama Alaska are typically grazing right by the road in front of the main barn. Kim is also a brilliant fiber artist and occasionally teaches various classes so please feel free to inquire about those if interested. Continue up the road to the dead end and turn left for breathtaking sunset views. If you're looking for something a little more sweaty, grab your bike or head out on a run "around our block" (about 4.5 miles) that takes you around and down to the bustling river, then leads you on a steady incline to an enchanted foot trail that winds up the hill and back around to the top of our road. Dirt roads abound and we're happy to help you figure out a path to explore =) We are also close to several snowmobile trails should you be inclined to stay with us while traveling the VAST.

My girlfriend and i stayed here to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Vermont woods. This small cabin was perfect for us and the hosts were very nice and welcoming. If we ever come back to Vermont we will definitely stay here again!

Serene and Peaceful Retreat
This cabin was so peaceful. We loved the location. If you enjoy serene and quiet mornings, this is the place for you. It was decorated well and afforded us a nice reprieve after days of hiking or walking. I loved the fireplace, lovely time reading on the cozy couch with the fireplace going. I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

This cabin is everything the descriptions says it is. It is a little distant from any shops, but that is kind of the point.

The Silence was Golden
We had a wonderful weekend at this quaint little cottage that had all the amenities we needed. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet at Casita Del Sol and plan a future trip to just immerse ourselves in the solitude on Scale Hill Road and it's beaurtiful natural surroundings. Keith and Erica are wonderrful hosts that make every effort to make your stay a memorable one.

Wonderful Getaway!
Beautiful woodland property that was a delight to be at. Erika and Keith have cultivated a beautiful space that refreshes the soul. I loved all the flowers! The kitchen held all we needed and the cottage was comfortable for a weekend getaway to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Great burgers in S. Royalton (at host’s suggestion) was only a 20 min drive. We ranged out to Burlington to rent e-bikes to ride along the lake front and causeway. Great food and shopping in the city. It is a remote location so recommend bringing some basic groceries if needed. Definitely recommend!

Magical!
This place is absolutely beautiful. The pictures you see online are pretty but once you get there you are going to realize that the place is perfect. From the location, to how perfectly decorated it is. La casita del sol is definitely the ideal definition of coziness. But my biggest highlight about this property are the owners. We felt protected like if we were in our own house. We felt home. They took care of every single detail and made us feel extremely comfortable and special. During our stay our car broke down and we got stuck in Vermont. And what we thought it was going to be a nightmare ended up being a beautiful trip just because of the help Keith and Erika provided. I’m never going to forget about this place. And I can’t wait to be back! Book your dream getaway at La casita del sol, trust me - you won’t regret it. And to Keith and Erika: Thank you. Sending you love and many blessings your way!

Lovely respite
I had a peaceful and lovely five-night stay at the casita. The property and surrounding area were so beautiful—even if I was a little late for the leaves. I love Vermont—I got such a good feel for the industriousness and creativity of Vermonters as I drove around the state. I plan to come back—I have a long list of things I wasn’t able to do this trip.

Little Getaway In the Mountains
La Casita Del Sol is a great little cabin in the woods. It's the perfect little space for two people looking for a getaway. The name of the cabin "house of sun" definitely lives up to the name as the sun shines bright in the cabin throughout the day, but then you can catch the sunset over the mountains at night. 10/10.

Amazing way to experience Vermont!
Keith and Erika are very welcoming hosts, and all communication was hassle-free. The cabin was cozy, quiet, private, and beautifully decorated, and the sky was filled with stars each night! This stay provided us with absolutely everything we could have asked for. Thank you for selling us the fresh rainbow eggs and letting us hang out with your friendly chickens! You two made our first time in Vermont seamless and memorable, thanks again!

Quiet and relaxing.
Keith and Erika are gracious hosts without being overly intrusive. Their children are sweet, the chickens are friendly, and the peacock is (literally) a hoot. The property is an open homestead within a deep Vermont forest. The cabin was perfect for a stress-reducing getaway. I'd love to visit again in winter.

Tranquil getaway in Vermont's rural woodlands
We couldn't have had a better experience here. The little cabin had everything we could have asked for (and more) and was the perfect getaway for us. Note it is a lot of driving on dirt roads to get there, but it is well worth it if you're looking for somewhere secluded to stage your trip.
