Check-in was easy, with very complete advance instructions from our hosts. We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is spacious and in a beautiful location. The kitchen is nicely set up for use. The farm fresh eggs in the fridge made for two delicious breakfasts, and we very much enjoyed our gracious hosts’ tour of the working farm behind the house. An excellent place to spend a weekend. We recommend it highly!

This was my 2nd time staying here & I'm already looking forward to going back. It's so nice to stay at such a beautiful farm with all the animals. I love sitting out under the pergola listening to the chickens & geese with the occasional braying of the donkeys. When I'm able to drag myself away from this most relaxing setting, that feeling of serenity extends to the apartment itself. It's so light & airy & quite sun-filled on the nice days. My last full day there, it rained hard all day so I stayed in, read a book, & baked cookies. The sound of the rain on the roof was mesmerizing & gave me the feeling of being snugly wrapped in a wonderful cocoon. The farmhouse is so homey & comfortable and Carol & David are the best hosts you could ever hope to have. I truly enjoyed every conversation I had with them. Such nice people!!

Beautiful spot in a natural setting. Property owner was very informative about the areas around us as well as the area we were in. A tour of his rescue animals was very enjoyable and informative. It was the perfect getaway. The apartment supplied everything we needed. I would highly recommend a stay there.

Great space, close to Okemo

I stayed here for a week of skiing at Okemo. The space was very nice and bigger than anticipated. The location is great - quiet with wooded surroundings but still an easy drive to the mountain. Carol and David were great hosts and quick to respond to any questions. Also a great place for remote work - the wifi was strong and I had no problems with video calls. I would stay here again.
