  The house is beautiful and the location was very convenient. Needs a heavier shower lining to prevent moisture on the floor. We removed the rugs in the kitchen and butlers pantry due to people slipping and tripping. The padding underneath kept bunching up causing the slippage.

  Everything about Walnut Hill Estate was delightful! The house was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The spaces were perfect for my family of seven- cozy without sacrificing privacy. Being so close to West Jefferson downtown was a plus, also. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for us to gather as a family!

  Keith M from Sarasota , FL recommends this vacation rental

  Us Floridians, a family of five, plus a couple grandparents, had a great time during a winter storm in January 2022! 10 inches of snow, in a beautiful (and luxurious) 1926 farmhouse, with more room than we needed. we enjoyed every minute of our stay!! We hope to stay again next blockbuster snowstorm as well :).
  
  House is well stocked; appliances look to be brand new...we can't find fault with this property honestly! as a bonus, Jennifer was very nice at the management company too...allowing us late check out for our safety- due to 45-55 mph wind gusts blowing and drifting the snow around on the AM we were to leave. A++++
