Secluded VT Getaway

Beautiful location that is away from the hustle and bustle of daily life but conveniently located between Chester and Springfield. Definitely worth the trip if you are looking to feel refreshed and rejuvenated. The home and the history of it are a bonus and it is clear a lot of work went into preserving such a beautiful home.

AMAZING AND WONDERFUL STAY!!

Property is EXACTLY as advertised and even more beautiful in person. Incredibly well restored Historic property with every modern amenity/upgrade you could imagine or need. Has both heat and air conditioning (and we needed both). Property manager and owner were incredibly responsive to the few questions we had. Property was more than ready when we arrived and owner/manager went out of their way to welcome us to their Vermont paradise. Could not have had a better experience and shall return. Thanks for the wonderful week in Green Mountain country!!

Pioneer House Review

We loved the Pioneer House. The hosts were communicative and gave us all the information we needed before our stay. The house and property were just perfect for us. They clearly put an emphasis on cleanliness and provided everything we needed for a one week stay. The location was fantastic, with easy access to Rockingham, Chester, and Springfield (as long as you are not afraid of dirt roads). Overall, I rate this property a 5 and hope to be able to stay there again when we are in VT.

Step back in time.

Lovely home in a great setting. The home was comfortable and clean. It was so interesting to stay in such an old house. Beautiful old floors and timber frame. We loved it.

Wonderful, relaxing stay

Our second time at this property and it was even better than the first. The house was wonderful and cozy from the moment we stepped in. Appliances are excellent and beds are super comfortable. Fall colors and scenery were amazing. Thanks again for another wonderful stay.

Wonderful Stay

We spent a very enjoyable week at the Pioneer House. It exceeded our expectations. The house was full of cozy charm, with all of the modern conveniences one would hope for. The house is thoughtfully appointed, from sunscreen and spa masks for guests to use to stocked firewood for the fire pit. The generous hosts had thoughtful welcome gifts waiting for us upon our arrival—including locally made cheese, coffee and beer, as well as fresh cut flowers from the garden and several bottles of wine. We hated to leave….and can’t wait to return.

Wonderful historic home

This amazing house was exactly as pictured and even better in person. So many historic details overlayed with wonderfully updated kitchen and bathrooms. Spacious, comfortable bedrooms with an awesome kitchen that had everything we could have asked for. We took full advantage of the wonderful welcome gift of food and drink that awaited us. Communication with the property manager was timely and super helpful. Since we have family in the area, we would definitely return to this fabulous property.
