We love staying in this lovely house! So many cute little handmade touches. Kitchen is amazing. View is fantastic. Hosts are wonderful and instructions are clear. We’ve stayed here 4-5 times. It’s a great little place in northern Vermont and only 15 minutes from craftsbury outdoor center.

Wonderful visit

We had a wonderful visit. We loved the house and found it met all our needs. And the area is wonderful— we got to ski on the beautiful trails at Craftsbury and enjoy the snow blanketing the fields and woods at the house. We would love to visit again!

Lovely farmhouse, incredible views, peace and quiet

My family and I stayed at the farm house for a week and we absolutely loved it. My kids declared it their favorite Vermont house (we've stayed at many!). My mom's dog loved running free in the yard. So much room in the house for us to spread out and relax. We enjoyed swimming in Shadow Lake, and lots of mountain biking. Can't wait to come back.

Bliss!

We absolutely loved our stay and the local tips that Eric provided! The farmhouse is cute, the view is unbelievable, and there is a lot to do in the area, just drive 10-30 minutes in any direction! We had a great time hiking, stargazing, and drinking local beer. One note - cell phone service through Verizon is nonexistent in the whole area, and the WiFi did not work well for us the first day, so be sure to download the map of the area beforehand!

Great Vermont home

Hello! This was our second stay in this lovely Vermont home. Our kids Nordic ski so we are in the area often because of Craftsbury. The house is clean and well stocked. Very cost and comfortable. Kitchen with all essentials. Communications with the host are easy. We hope to stay again. Thank you!

Vermont

We had a wonderful stay at this home, it was cozy and well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was great. The beds and baths were comfortable. The views were breathtaking from the property. We were there for a wedding at Highland Lodge and the location was perfect. The fall leaves were glowing and the walk down the road was wonderful. It was a clean and simple home with lots of charm. We will be back to beautiful Vermont. The general stores in the area a must visit. Willey's and Craftbury General Store.

Winter skiing escape

our group of friends met for an skiing week-end in Crafstbury resort and we were pleased to lodge at Eric and Joanna's place ! the house is magnificent, and though the weather was freezing cold, the fireplace made it with a warming ambiance! furthermore, the beds were comfy and the down duvets kept us warm at night. the kitchen is furnished with everything you need to cook and prepare your lunch or your brunch! communications were easy, fast and always cordial with Eric & Joanna, thanks to them ! we are glad to have stayed there, and hope to come back to enjoy the views to the south !

Wonderful home

The house is very comfortable and perfectly appointed. It's an old farmhouse with the uniqueness of a house built long ago and with beams. It's beautifully maintained and the large yard with flowers and vegetables a delight. The kitchen is well-stocked and the appliances up-to-date. My granddaughter thought the yard was her playground. She loved it. The beds were comfortable and the house heated as well as a wood stove in the kitchen for extra warmth. It was a perfect place for our stay!

Christmas!

Quintessential VT farmhouse, not too fancy, very liveable and cozy with plenty of space for a family gathering. The wood stove and bedding kept us more than warm enough. Joanna and Eric were incredibly thoughtful and immediately responsive to any questions. They even left us a tree stand and ornaments so that we could have a tree! Though we didn’t have a white Christmas, it was a great experience. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lakes, trails, and gardens!

Comfortable Rural Farm House

This is a very nicely maintained 19th century farm house surrounded by long views over farms with wide open fields, reached by traveling over a few miles of back country dirt roads. If that's what you are looking for, you'll love this place. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The kitchen appliances are modern and in excellent condition, and the kitchen is well stocked. The beds are very comfortable. The stairway to the second floor bedrooms is steep and the stair steps are narrow, so might not be suitable for all. But we were very comfortable here, and had a great time.

Beautiful views, lovely house

We very much enjoyed our extended stay at the farmhouse. It was the perfect location to explore Craftsbury, Greensboro and beyond. We rode our gravel bikes from the house and never got bored with all of the quiet roads to explore and hills to climb. The only ding is that the internet is much much slower than expected. Since we stayed for a month, we occasionally had to get online for work. The internet wouldn't support video calls or even sending small attachments in an email. I get this is rural Vermont (and vacation!), so we were patient--but I wouldn't plan to work remotely from here. Happy to come back, sans work, though!

true VT experience

We booked this to go with another couple and a single and there would have been heaps of room for us all, but they had to cancel at the last minute. So the house was large for just 2 but very cosy, nicely furnished, and with a very easy and effective wood stove. There is a gorgeous view, and we saw the Milky Way very clearly one night. The house was most generously provisioned with everything we could possibly want, and the vegetable garden still had salad greens, tomatoes and kale that we were allowed to harvest: the whole trip felt as if we were living the dream in our own house in VT -- without all the worries that would actually insure. Eric and Joanna were generous and flexible and allowed us to change our dates at the last minute, even re-funding to us the difference in price.
