We had a wonderful week at Leslie's home. The house is a classic old New England with lots of charm and comforts. The house is extremely well-furnished, very quiet and a short drive to Brandon. The house is also close to dirt roads that make for enjoyable walking.Leslie was very helpful and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. And that's important to me.

Michael and his family were among the best guests we’ve ever had remarkably clean and tidy they left our house at exceptionally nice condition and were very very wonderful people to work with throughout the entire process. We would happily invite them back and give them a rave review to any other people considering them as a guest
Leslie’s cozy farmhouse was the perfect spot for our group to stay before heading to see the eclipse. The snow was a nice bonus - our dogs loved it the most!

Leah- you and your family were wonderful guests! Please come see us again but don't wait till the next eclipse! So glad you had a wonderful time!
We did enjoy our stay. It was a little unexpected to have the refrigerator unplugged and empty and for the pantry to be so bare. It would have been nice to have coffee and filters and maybe something for our first breakfast, but we enjoyed going to the market and going to Rosie’s for breakfast. The property was beautiful and the house felt like a home once we settled in.Thank you for sharing.

Elizabeth, we clean the house thoroughly between guests and leave no food items in the house. We always provide coffee filters. So sorry you were confused, but this is all clearly explained in the notes we sent you before your arrival. Please check and do let us know if we have mislead you in any way! We are so glad you had a lovely stay!
Timbertop is the most charming antique farmhouse nestled in the mountains. We had a wonderfully relaxing week and found the house welcoming and comfortable. We cooked and ate and lounged about, explored Brandon and the surrounding area. Highly recommend staying here.

We are so glad to hear how much you enjoyed your stay! I truly hope you can come back another time and we now consider you part of the family!
Leslie’s home is the perfect escape from the busy day to day. The home is full of charm, location perfect to explore the surrounding areas and the views so relaxing from the house. The wifi is very good as well, there were no issues when we had to work.
The house was just as described and as expected. Lovely, comfortable rooms and beds- nice amount of extra bedding as needed. Filled with family games for our age range of kids- we will use this house again!

We are so glad you have joined "the family" who have come to love being in Vermont at our place called Timbertop in Goshen. Thank you!
Our family had a lovely week staying at this Vermont farmhouse in the midst of the Green Mountains. We walked in and immediately felt like we were home. Whether sitting in the sunroom reading, playing games in the parlor, or playing the piano from the Stephen Foster songbook in the entryway, we loved everything about this special place.

We always love to hear from our guests how they felt being at this special spot! So glad you had a wonderful time and got to feel the Goshen vibes!
The location was great, for hiking and exploring in that corner of Vermont in mid-September. Views of the mountains were beautiful. Nearby Brandon is an interesting town with many historic houses, and a wonderful, popular restaurant: Cafe Provence. The house is larger than two people needed but plenty comfortable. It's an antique house, but with good internet.

We are so glad to hear you loved our place as much as our other renters have. When next you want a visit to the Green Mountains please think of returning to Timbertop!
This was a birthday gift for my daughter and her husband. They loved the place on a cold and snowy weekend. Their social media post said "Cozy Vermont weekend featuring lots of fire time and dogs playing in the snow."

We are so glad Timbertop could offer cozy time for your daughters birthday. How kind of you!! Glad they had so much fun.
This property provided a perfect escape for our entire family, including our fur baby, for Christmas in 2020. Leslie was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the entire process from booking to checkout. Can’t wait to enjoy this property again in the summer months!

About the host
Hosted by Leslie Beaulieu
As a child, I spent many happy days at this property and then my children also did. Making flower headbands in the meadows was a favorite, or hiking up the meadow for the view, travelling to many nearby waterfalls to swim. Working around my teaching schedule, we visit as often as we can!
Why they chose this property
This house was passed to me from my grandparents who owned it for over 50 years. It has provided many warm memories through the years as it continues to with our ever expanding rental family! Please add your thoughts to our guest book before you leave!
What makes this property unique
You will enjoy gorgeous meadow and mountain views from the enclosed porch off the farmers kitchen leading to the great outdoors- hiking right outside the door and the brightest stars you'll ever see!
