Bronwyn was an excellent and accommodating host! Our small group stayed here to snowboard at Killington, great proximity to the mountain and also in a quiet setting. The house was perfect, relaxing environment for a group with everything we needed to hang out and relax. We got a ton of snow during the trip, and each morning the driveway was plowed would definitely stay at this location again, highly recommended.

Ski weekend

Great property with lots of Vermont charm. The house was located in the middle of our 2 planned ski destinations Mad River Glen and killington. It was exactly what I was looking for, a Vermont country setting.

Wedding weekend

We stayed at North Porch Farmhouse with 3 couples for 3 nights in July while we attended our sister's wedding. This lovely home was immaculate and exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for us to spread out, the kitchen was very well equipped, comfortable furnishings, charming decor and a short ride into town. We hope to visit again!

Family Fun near Killington

This farmhouse is so sweet and comfortable and like stepping back in time. The kitchen is so well stocked. The rooms neatly decorated with more modern touches. A wonderful family get away for a ski trip- about 30 min from Killington or Sugarbush. We will be back in the summer for sure! Thank you 😊

Beautifully decorated farmhouse

We had a beautiful stay at the North Porch Farmhouse. I was a beautifully decorated farmhouse that was so clean that you definitely felt right at home. It was well stocked with all you need to cozy in for a fall weekend. It is close to trails and places to explore. One downside was it was on a busier road. If if was a little off the main road and quieter, it would have definitely been a 5 star!

Farmhouse in the Mountains

A truly comfortable farmhouse close to Killington. Plenty of room for everyone and very clean. We didn’t get to use the snowshoes as the snow came as we were leaving. We loved the big kitchen and family table. Beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the washer/dryer as well as the giant mud room for ski equipment. We had a great weekend—we should have booked a longer stay as there was so much to do in the area.

This is a charming historic farmhouse, very well equipped and beautifully furnished, definitely one of a kind. The only problem we had was with the keys. Only one set seemed to work.

Oh no! I'm so sorry Rosamund. I'll check the second set of keys in the house to see what's going on. Thank you for letting me know so I can address this for the next guests.

Charming house in Vermont country

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the North Porch Farmhouse. The house has a lot of character and charm. The owner/host definitely put a lot of thought (from wooden furniture to little knickknacks and accents (props to uses of hay forks throughout the house!) into creating a welcoming atmosphere so that her guests enjoy their stay. The house is very clean and warm (we stayed during the heart of winter) even when the temps are way below zero in Fahrenheit). There is plenty of entertainment around the house from board games to snowshoes to sledding. So kids won’t be bored. The house is centrally located to many ski resorts - killington and pico 30 min), Stowe and memo 1 hour), sugarbush and mad river (30 minutes). There is a small supermarket in town. House has everything you need for cooking so you can save money on restaurants. The owner/host is most gracious and has been wonderful throughout the reservation process and our stay. Great communication. The house has great WiFi but please note if you’re not an At&t customer, you will not get a cell signal anywhere near or in the house or within at least 10 mile radius of this town. A minor inconvenience. Definitely recommend staying at this property! Thank you to the owner/host.

Beautiful Farm House in Great Location

We stayed at this house in March to ski at Killington (30 minutes away) and were lucky enough to have warm weather when we first arrived and (tons of) snow while we were there. The house is beautifully furnished and stocked with everything you would need for a stay. "Downtown" Rochester is about 5 minutes away, but is fairly small. The nearest larger town is about 20 minutes away by car. Also, beware heading west out of the driveway in the winter time...even when it was raining or not doing anything at the house, it was snowing at the top of the pass. As mentioned in the house instructions, we did encounter the cluster flies. They were harmless but annoying. The water pressure was also very low, which made showers somewhat difficult. Also, being out in the middle of the mountains meant that cell coverage was spotty in the house, but wifi at the house was great. Those minor downsides did not dampen our enjoyment of the stay, the cleanliness and beauty of the house, or the wonderful location. We were able to hike, ski, snowshoe along the river, explore, and shop easily. I would recommend the house to anyone looking to stay in the middle of the green mountains.

Perfect

This great little farmhouse was perfect. It was immaculately clean and the style of the furnishings was classy and comfortable. This was the most comfortable place we have ever stayed. Everything was so well thought out and right at hand. The kitchen was so well organized and equipped. We enjoyed the forest hiking and I found some great views to paint. Wonderful. Responsive owners and quaint restaurants in the little downtown of Rochester. We Loved it.

Beautiful and Inviting

There were four of us in total, the house was just so cozy, you felt like you were home! It had all the necessities for whatever we needed. We grilled, hiked, shopped and the guys did some MT biking which they said was amazing. Can’t wait to book with you again!

Lovely stay!

This is a classic, vintage farmhouse lovingly renovated to preserve the original charm. It is well appointed with a better stocked kitchen than any home I have ever booked. The furnishings are comfortable and the decor is appropriate without being kitschy (no dollar store Home-Sweet-Home signs). We swam in Texas Falls, which are close by. Great stay, great memories, would go back anytime. Thanks, Bronwyn!

Great week in Rochester, VT for GMSI

We stayed at North Porch Farm House for a week in July for the Green Mountain Suzuki Institute. The home was spotless and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable. The home was just minutes away from Rochester (center of town) so very convenient for the Institute. All of the logistics from booking, house rules, checking in, and checking out were very well managed. We especially appreciated the responsive communication with Bronwyn throughout our stay. We highly recommend this home for visitors to Rochester.
