Great Stay

This is beautiful, historic stone home filled with fun art and history, but also extremely comfortable. We had a great time here, and skied at Okemo which was a short drive.

While we spent much of our time at various wedding events, we did have some time relaxing with our family “at home”. The game room was an added bonus at night! We had perfect fall weather which made the back patio a wonderful spot for a picnic lunch.

So much space and so much charm

This property was great for our party! Our annual ski trip to Vermont was made extra special by staying here. So much room in the yard for sleigh riding and the house had so many amenities our kids were never bored and barley even watched TV! This was a great house for a large group, and can easily fit 16+ people.

Great place to stay and ski

This place was amazing. I don’t usually do reviews, but this one deserves it. It is 15 min from Okemo and 30 from Killington. Food is 10 min away by car but there are small shops 1-3 min away. Extremely charming atmosphere. We had alot of family there. 8 adults, 6 kids, and we all fit with plenty of room to spare.

Amazing visit to Chester/Okemo

House was BETTER than described.. so many amazing amenities. Tons of space for 4 families (each with 2 kids) to spread out or to join together. Lovely town, EASY drive to Okemo and absolutely amazing communicative owner. I've rented at least 2 places a year for the last ~15 years, and the communication and features of this property trump almost all. HIGHLY recommended.

The Stone House Rocked!

Best Christmas ever! Thirteen of us on the day after Christmas for Beef Wellington and gifts and a bad movie. The kitchen was fully-equipped and large enough for competing cooks, the big barn room held the tree and presents, and the big screen TV was perfect. Ten of us stayed the whole week. Comfortable beds, plenty of room to stretch out, play video games, and find a place for an old grandpa to read and nap in peace. Property owner and th manager were immediately responsive when we had a slight issue with the heating systems in the barn (resolved and worked beautifully.) We were one hundred percent happy.

Great Family Getaway

Great stay with our family. The house didn’t disappoint. It was a very charming house with a lot of history. We suggest taking the tour of the art and family history they have set up within the house ..very interesting.We cooked all our meals at the house without issue.The family room and game room we’re perfect for our group.As far as skiing. The kids chose Killington and it didn’t disappoint. You do pass right by Okemo which would be our suggestion. It would cut down on travel time, to and from mountain.We got a lot of snow on our stay, over a foot. The roads were kept clear and the driveway was plowed 3 times over the weekend.4x4 was needed but luckily our cars were equipped.The owners are awesome and go out of there way to make sure your stay is great! Would stay again for sure!

Beautiful home in the middle of a quaint New England town

Our family (13 of us in total, ranging in age from 2 to 77) enjoyed a week in this home. The game room was a wonderful place for the kids to enjoy themselves. The kitchen was fully stocked with every spice you could think of. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the firepit on the patio very much. The only challenge was that the home wasn't fenced in and since it was on the main road, it was a little challenging with 3 kids under 4 years of age and dogs. Never the less, a wonderful vacation experience. And the owners did a great job sharing ideas of places to go and enjoy the area, too!

Amazing Stay!

What an amazing house! Stayed here for a week with extended family. Even with 13 people in our group, the house had ample space for all of us. The charm, history, artworks and the modern amenities made us fall in love with the house. The quaint neighborhood offered a peaceful respite for all us. Laurie and Russ were so gracious and caring hosts. The welcome gifts were also a nice touch!

Splendid Stay In A Wonderful Historic Home!!!

There is so much to say about this home and our experience there. The blend of history and warmth the house provides to the overall open spacious comfort you feel is beyond appealing. The yard, view, outdoor cauldron area and quaint neighborhood welcome you from the start. As a family of ten we had more than enough room to relax and make our stay an extremely positive one. The property is just as it is listed and the pride that these home owners have is second to none. I will say without a doubt that the BEST and MOST IMPORTANT amenity the home has is its OWNERS!!.They are the most thoughtful, kind, considerate people we have ever rented from and went the extra mile to insure our stay was indeed special. Our "welcome gift" made us feel appreciated from the very start. The history of the home is quite interesting. Russ and Laurie have added pieces of their family history, artwork and personal touches making the house one that is inviting and charming. From new updated appliances to the absolute cleanliness of the house it evident how loved and cared for this home is. Shared details of the neighborhood and local shops pointed us in the right direction for fun outings. We couldn't ask for a better experience and memorable week together and this splendid HOME allowed us to have just that! (Top this off with the fresh homemade kettle corn the neighbor across the street makes and this was one SWEET vacation!!!)

Fantastic House, Fantastic Hosts

We wanted a getaway from the city and had the most fabulous two weeks here, working during the day but also enjoying the incredibly well-stocked kitchen, the spacious house with tons of room for working spaces, and the most gorgeous views from the patio, family room, and kitchen. Russ and Laurie were extremely conscientious and considerate hosts, ensuring the wifi was updated and that we knew their favorite hikes, markets, and restaurants. Before we arrived, Russ and Laurie reached out several times to be sure we would have what we needed, including adding a window covering to ensure the family room wouldn't be too hot (it wasn't) and putting a table outside to allow us to eat on the patio, which we did many nights. The house itself is a fascinating historical home with both charm and space, an unusual combination. The bathrooms and kitchen are all updated and the A/C works perfectly. We would stay here again next week if we could! Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding Chester Vacation Home

This property is amazing. There is plenty of space for everyone and the amenities are first rate. The fire pit is perfect for drinks after skiing and the family room and game room are perfect hang out places for the little and big kids (i.e. adults) alike. Russel and Laurie are outstanding hosts. I highly recommend this place.
