We really enjoyed our stay. It was a cute home with what needed while we were in town for a youth mountain bike race at Muscatatuck Park. Would definitely stay again.

Wedding Vacation
The Charming Historic Retreat Home was the best choice we could've made for making our daughters wedding day into a mini-vacation for us and to be able to be very, very near-by for preparations and the ceremony. The house was perfect for our needs and was very well kept. Vernon is a lovely town with historic character. In addition to being only a few miles from the wedding venue, the proximity with both Seymour and Madison was perfect. The hosts were willing to meet our needs in whatever we were needing to accomplish. We would love to visit and stay here again, and it's a bonus that both of our daughters live nearby.

The house was exactly what I needed for a quiet get away. Super clean and spacious. The outside garden space with fire-pit was great to relax in and sip my morning coffee. The host went above and beyond on response time whenever I had a question. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay in a quaint historic town, this is the house you want. This will be my rental for all my upcoming visits to Vernon.
