• An Honest Review

  5/5

  Coming from a background of rural living, farming, and dealing with honest people, I think I’m fit for leaving an honest review.

  Our stay was first met with challenges that could not be controlled by anyone. Weather delayed our stay by a whole day, but Donna was kind enough to refund 2 nights. (Was not requested by us) this was nice due to unseen costs we had to pay to stay somewhere else.

  Once at the house, it was wonderful. I could tell instantly that one side of the house was extremely old. (Early 1800’s) This was great to see such a cool piece of history of old Vermont. If you’re looking for a beautiful rustic farmhouse to stay with plenty of room and great price? This is it. The house was comfortably cool the entire stay, but that forced everyone to spend quality time in the living room near the fire place.

  But even this was not the highlight of my stay, personally. Donna, the owner is what made me happy choosing to stay at their home in Chester. Communication was excellent, seeing work horses being worked in the field was also great to see. Got to spend time in some poor weather speaking with Donna as well. 10/10 I would recommend to a friend and will also be returning in the future for winter ski trips.

• Very relaxing

  5/5

  It is definitely somewhat isolated but the fact that it was a working farm with horses and sheep was such a thrill for our grandkids (age 6-10). They loved feeding the horses and interacting with the owners. Sitting around the fire pit was relaxing for the adults. We were three generations and had a wonderful time interacting and enjoying seeing the children have such a good time. Our family dog seemed to like the farm atmosphere as well. Donna and Peter were wonderful hosts. We hope to go back some day.

• Awesome stay!!

  5/5

  Fantastic. Very peaceful. Loved seeing the horses and sheep in the distance. Blueberry picking onsite, hiking trails out the door, kids playing in the shallow river down the hill. Echo lake and going up the chairlift at okemo were awesome. Fire pit was perfect. Attentive and friendly host. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and plan to go back!

• Serene, peaceful, lovely

  5/5

  Donna and Peter could not be better hosts! They have the most bucolic, peace-filled setting with lambs and horses that you can see from your bed in the morning! The house is clean, comfortable, cozy, there is a very well-equipped kitchen and a fantastic patio, and firepit in the backyard. Right down the road is the Williams River, it was shallow enough for the 3year old to play in all morning. Hiking all around, farm markets, festivals, delicious berries, and the peace and quiet that calm your heart.

  Our family loves it here, we are always sad to go, no matter how much time we've spent on this beautiful farm.

  Thanks to Donna and Peter for sharing this very special place.

• Wonderful house in a great location

  We had a great time at your beautiful farm house. It was the perfect distance to Okemo for some early season skiing. Having the large grounds with sheep and horses right outside made for an enjoyable day staying in. Thank you for hosting us!
