Dear Julie, Thank you for the great hospitality. Your home is beautiful. We felt very much at home here. My husband even said, I love this kitchen! Everything is quite serene. I highly enjoyed the book on Hardwick, VT - what a great town with great innovative local people. My retreat at the Benedictine Monastery in Westfield was perfect. I encourage anyone to go and experience their Gregorian chant - Heaven! All your special touches helped our week go smoothly. We hope to come back soon!

Julie, We can't thank you enough for letting us stay here. From the moment we saw this house we fell in love with it. We have had such a relaxing week here. We do not want to return to reality. We had a great week of racing and have spent some quality time with friends here. We can't wait to return to the best farmhouse ever. Hopefully we will be in Craftsbury again soon!

Dear Julie, Thank you for creating such a welcoming "home away from home." Loved the warm color schemes, comfy furniture, warm wood fire, and games galore! It was so helpful to have your area information. We enjoyed both Claire's and Parker Pie. Yummy! Skiing was great and coming "home" to comfy beds was such a treat! Loved the view! Hope to see you and Craftsbury through seasons to come.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I loved my quick laps in the back forty. The best snow I've skied all winter. The kitchen was great. We cooked a lot and found it well suited. The view, of course, was excellent...especially in the morning light. We enjoyed our stay very much. AndyDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you, Julie! This is the cleanest rental we've ever had! I also appreciate the unscented soaps and sheets. I liked the quiet, the clutter-free and cozy home and spending time relaxing with friends and family. Cooking was easy in the well-equipped kitchen, too! Thank you for offering the farmhouse for us all to enjoy! HelenDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Dear Julie, What a perfect weekend! It was just what we'd hoped for and more. And your house and hospitality were a big part of the reason why. There's a reason we couldn't get out skiing until after noon each day! We're glad we got to meet you and appreciate your warmth and offers of help - and the directions to Parker Pie, the best pizza ever! Thank you.Did you find this review helpful?

Thank you Julie for being an integral part of an awesome Vermont vacation. You thought of every detail in equipping the house - and the house itself exudes quaintness and charm!

So we gave the owner very short notice of our intent to rent - and she graciously accomidated us. That was the first plus. Then we arrived several hours after the time we had given - the home was open and welcoming. We rent from VRBO often (and have had a lake home on VRBO) yet this is the cleanest home we have rented thusfar . . . and all have been clean. This home however was above and beyound. Julie was wonderful - accomidating and gracious and we recommend Lords Creek Farm without reservation. We will return. The Czapranski's Scottsville, NYRecommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
