Solar eclipse spot

Spent the whole weekend here for the solar eclipse—such a clean and comfortable property to hang out at for a few days. The kitchen had impressive appliances and there were more than enough comfort items like blankets, pillows, and towels. Easy to get to Stowe and Waterbury areas.
