Constructed in the 1830’s and recently renovated, this classic, Vermont farmhouse located in Windham is sure to warm your heart. Hardwood floors, antique fixtures, and comfortable furniture provide a casual, country atmosphere. The location provides you with absolute privacy, yet has easy access to Vermont’s many amenities.
The house sits off a paved road and is surrounded by two acres of beautifully manicured lawn lined with stone walls and tall pine trees. Beyond that is the rest of the 90 acres where visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas as they explore the walking trails or swim, boat, and fish in the private 12-acre trout pond. Three giant bedrooms make the home perfect for two families - two rooms each with a queen bed and a third room with one full and two twin beds. A spring-coiled futon in the master bedroom provides additional sleeping. A cot is also available. Well-mannered pets permitted.
During your visit, explore the property on foot, snowshoe, or ski. Rolling meadows, rocky crags, cool forests, and mountain vistas await. Stand in the sunshine and gaze down on a shimmering, crystal-clear twelve-acre lake, suitable for swimming, boating, and fishing. Take a walk up to the two-acre beaver pond and enjoy the chirp of crickets and the peeping of summer frogs. The ponds are stocked with rainbow, brook, and brown trout for the skilled angler. A complementary boat is provided for fishing or just floating around. There is so much to do and see that many of our guests spend days without ever leaving the property!
The house is within a 20-minute drive of the historic and scenic villages of Chester, Weston, Grafton, and Londonderry. Manchester, which is known for its great shopping, antiquing, and dining, is also only 20 minutes away. Okemo’s top-rated Tater Hill Golf Club is a two-minute drive. Many of Vermont's beautiful state parks, which offer visitors great spots for swimming, hiking, and picnics, are within a ten to thirty-minute drive. For those of you looking for skiing action we are near Magic Mountain (five miles), Bromley (fourteen miles), Stratton (eighteen miles), and Okemo (twenty-three miles) downhill ski areas and a short drive to Wild Wings, Viking, and Grafton cross-country ski centers.

Our two weeks here were wonderful -- peaceful, beautiful, delicious(!) and fun. Thanks so much for lending us your house and very large backyard, complete with a swimming pool! One of the most relaxing family vacations we've had, all to the gorgeous setting and relaxed atmosphere. Nothing short of glorious! Thank you!

Early morning visit from the six-year old announcing, "I have a problem -- it snowed last night and I forgot my gloves!" Waking up in Vermont with the farm blanketed in snow, everyone snug inside, is as much evidence of God's grace as I can imagine. Thanks for a lovely visit.

Wonderful home; immaculate and very comforting. Beautiful grounds -- just the rest all these New Yorkers needed! No moose this visit, maybe next time!

Every visit here is always too short. We love coming and wish we could stay longer. We'll be back!

It's with a heavy heart that we pack up to leave our home away from home for the past month. We just love this place. From the moment we got here, it just felt like home. We'll have so many great memories -- swimming laps around the pond almost every day, gazing at the stars on crystal clear nights, eating amazingly good local foods from the Chester and Londonderry farmers' markets, long bike rides on the little side roads (and that long steep climb up Windham Hill Road"), and above all, being able to share this wonderful place with family and friends. The closest experience I can compare this to is summer vacation at my grandparents' house when I was a kid. Haven't felt like that in years. Thanks so much for everything.

A beautiful Vermont house and grounds. The kids all enjoyed swimming across the pond and "cliff jumping". Other highlights included a campout night, evening bike rides to Grafton (all downhill) and a trip to the Science Museum in Norwich. The museum was one of the best science museums in the country in our opinion. The adults enjoyed several morning swims in the pond and some great road bike rides around the area. On the last night we saw a huge whitetail buck in the first meadow -- really cool. What a memorable week!

What a wonderful way to spend a week. We truly enjoyed the beautiful farmhouse. It provided just the R & R we were looking for. It's so peaceful here. We enjoyed all the small towns in the area, but I think our son enjoyed the ponds most. Thank you so much for sharing your home and for your help in making this a "perfect vacation".
