Downtown Classic
The house was clean, not overstuffed with furniture, and plenty of bathrooms. Nice big table downstairs that accommodated board games and 1000 piece puzzles. Bedding was nice with plenty of pillows and blankets.

Staying in Staunton
We had a great stay in Staunton, one of our favorite towns. We usually stay out in the country, but this time we chose to stay in town. Loved the house...loved the location. And thanks to Chris for being such a great host to work with.

This downtown location was perfect for our family with easy access to downtown and Gypsy Hill Park. Great skate park and playgrounds. The house is very modern and clean. A lot of thought and care was put into this property. Thank you Chris!

Lovely house; excellent owner
We really had a great stay here. The house has been completely (and beautifully) renovated. Though it's sited quite close to the street, we had no issues with noise - which says a lot, considering we live on 40 acres of woods in northern Vermont. The house has pretty much everything you could ask for. It's centrally located in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to a number of restaurants & cafes. We enjoyed some DELICIOUS pizza at Pizza Luca as well as yummy tacos and burritos at Chicano Boy Taco. We also visited several local attractions and hiking areas. The owner was very responsive to our questions and checked with us a couple of times to make sure all was good during our stay.We've stayed at a number of vacation rentals and highly recommend this one. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and more making our stay very enjoyable and stress free. My kids loved having a variety of games to choose from as well. We stayed in and cooked most evenings in the spacious kitchen that was stocked with all essentials. I highly recommend this property!

Perfect Retreat
This house is perfectly set up for guests. everything we needed was at hand, even some things we didn’t know we would want, like chargers for all sorts of devices. How this place manages to balance the. Victorian charm of an older home with every modern convenience you’d want is astounding. It was clean and well stocked. The location si an easy walk to all of downtown but out o the way enough to be quiet. Honestly, the view f sunrise from the front porch and living room window is worth the price alone. We couldn’t have been happier with this property.

Staunton Convenient to Everything
This historic home is just down one of Staunton's main residential streets from Mary Baldwin University. The house has been completely restored in a modernist style. The kitchen is both appealing and functional. The parlor area has adequate seating for several people. The bed was quite comfortable. I should note that our host, Chris was a great communicator and made extra effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay..

Historic Staunton House
Recently renovated, just outside the main shopping and restaurant downtown area, the house was extremely clean and stocked with everything a traveler might need. Location was easy to find, check in and out was simple, and double lock door was secure and safe. The ambience of the interior was fresh and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this house if visiting historic Staunton.

Wonderful Week at Newtown Retreat
We had a wonderful stay! Very nice place! Loved the quality of the house. The kitchen was well stocked and there were nice little added touches like umbrellas that came in handy one day. All the friends and family that visited during our stay also loved the place. We would absolutely stay there when in the area.

We stayed here while visiting family in Staunton. What a delightful experience. The house was clean and beautifully renovated with comfortable bedrooms and kitchen with all the amenities. Some street noise during the daytime but quieted right down at night. We would definitely stay here again!

Work trip
This was a work trip for myself and my crew of 2. This house was way beyond expectations! If more stars could be given, I would. House was very clean and kitchen exceptionally stocked with full set of pots and pans, and dinner ware for at least 8 people. Location is great as it is a half mile from downtown Staunton. This neighborhood is very walk-able and quiet. I will definately stay here again.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
This property is AMAZING. The house is beautiful and spacious. The location is phenomenal. It is close enough to downtown Staunton to make for an easy walk but still feel secluded and removed. The beds are deliciously comfortable and it has all the amenities you could ask for. I would definitely stay here again.

Historical Charmer
From the moment we arrived, we loved this place. Lots of space to spread out and three en-suites! The kitchen was a joy to use and had everything needed for family dinners for four. Restored extremely well … no wonder this place won an award. The only drawback was the parking … a Tahoe takes up pretty much the whole space, although we managed to squeeze in a small VW. We would definitely stay here again. ❤️

Successful birthday weekend!
Each year we take our mom on a girls weekend to celebrate her birthday. We have stayed in various VRBO listings over the years, and the Newton Retreat has by far been our favorite. Right from booking, the property manager was accessible for any questions we had about our upcoming stay. The communication continued throughout our weekend stay. The place was beautifully decorated and clean. We were comfortable all weekend and enjoyed relaxing evenings at the house after walking around historic downtown Staunton. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend Newton Retreat to anyone looking for a weekend stay that felt like “home.”
