Overall great stay. House is quirky and has a lot of cool antiques to admire. Plenty of beds for our big group. Living room and dining room had plenty of seating but some of the seats were old or delicate and we had to be careful where we were sitting. Kitchen was well equipped and wood stove was a nice touch with extra wood downstairs. Sauna and hot tub weren’t working so that was kind of a bummer, but overall really enjoyed our time in the house. The hosts were also very accommodating and communicative. I accidentally got us locked out of the house and they were very gracious in helping me resolve the issue.

Even though there was a mix up on the reservations, (on VRBO's part), Dave stepped up and took care of the issue so that everything else went off without a hitch. Wonderful place, that had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to return in the future.

Review of Property

Dave and Margo's place was a great spot for a group ski trip! Plenty of space and great appliances for cooking large meals. Only thing to mention is if you're going during mud season definitely make sure you have AWD or 4WD. Would definitely stay at this property again!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is older and has a lot of quirks, but pleasant. We would recommend that the owner remove a few pieces of furniture to open the home up more. The location was great, and we were able to tour all around central Vermont

Vermont Preserved

This rental is a great combination of a cozy old farmhouse, a babbling brook, a hillside of ferns surrounded by trees and a view of the tree-covered hills rising up beyond. The location has great access to loads of charming villages, swimming holes and walking trails as well as Burlington, Middlebury, Montpelier, and Stowe. The owners were very responsive to any issues and questions.

Classic Mad River Valley experience.

The property is beautiful and secluded. The view from the back porch is enough to sell the spot. Great old furniture and decorations, but also a hot tub and sauna. WiFi provides service for devices, but i chose not to use it and focus on the peace of the mountain.

Fall Folliage Tour

Location was great for us to enjoy Smugglers Notch, Stowe, and Woodstock on different days. Farm House is tucked away from the busy roads and has a lovely back deck overlooking a large back meadow with a wide creek. It is rustic as advertised and stairs to 2nd floor could be tricky for people with knee problems. but we enjoyed its character and felt it was a good value as well. Would stay again if in the area with family.

Host profile image
We have been renting by weeks and weekends for over 20 years. We are particular about who we rent to because we love our Vermont home. We want people to treat our home as if it is their own. we do have many people who rent from us year after year.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property because it is an old house built in 1865. We did not want to purchase right at ski area and we are only 15 minutes from Sugarbush and Mad River. This was ideal for us when are children were growing up.

What makes this property unique

We loved this property because we have a beautiful 11 acre pasture that extend to the Shepherd Brook. My wife is a mushroom person and this location is excellent for her mushroom hunting.
