About this farm stay rental

This venerable stone home sits on 110 acres of conserved Adirondack parkland. There are 4 bedrooms (a single, a room with two twin beds, a room with a full size bed and the master bedroom has a queen). There are 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room as well as a TV room, patio and small front porch. There is a good size living room for groups to gather, dining room seats 8 and more chairs can be added. It is a remote location but only 3 and a half miles to the quaint town of Essex and about an hour all in to Burlington VT, by ferry, across Lake Champlain. This ferry operates all year and is worth the trip just to get out on the beautiful lake and really see it.

Here are some local attractions: https://www.visitessexny.com/directory


My house is surrounded by farms and farmland and some exceptionally beautiful homes. It has delicious views of the Green Mountains in Vermont, across the lake. The home is 3 miles from downtown Essex, NY, a town on the National Register of Historic Places. Essex is on Lake Champlain and offers lakeside restaurants, marina, the Essex/Charlotte ferry to VT and the quaint homes and shops that look much as they probably did 200 years ago.

It is easy to access Burlington VT by the ferry--a 25 minute ride.

From the Essex website:

With an abundant shoreline, wilderness and pastoral farmland; magnificent outdoor activities (Champlain Area Trails hiking, cross country skiing, biking, sailing, etc.); locally grown, farm fresh food (Essex Farm, Full and By Farm, etc.); and a surprising abundance of cultural and artistic resources, Essex offers a unique and enriching lifestyle. And yet, despite it’s bucolic, rural setting, Essex enjoys convenient access to ferry, airport and train transport making it convenient and accessible to visitors throughout the Eastern United State and Canada.

Located in New York State’s Essex County along the Adirondack Coast of Lake Champlain, Essex, New York is only 113 miles north of Albany, NY; 29 miles south of Plattsburgh, NY; 86 miles south of Montreal, Canada; and 17 miles south-southwest of Burlington, VT.

The home is beautiful and the area has so much to offer!

The farmhouse was a perfect stay with family and pets while my boys were day campers in the area. The kitchen was modern and suited our cooking needs. The downstairs shower was nice for scrubbing them clean after days of play. I was able to do laundry in the basement. The location was perfect for day trips to Lake Placid, The Great escape, Rulphs for blueberry picking, and Plattsburgh for family fun. Audrey is a perfect host who accommodated us wonderfully. She even brought us fresh corn on the cob one night.

Porcupine farm is a beautiful retreat on a very quiet rural lane just a few minutes from Lake Champlain. The vistas of the nearby mountains across the broad hayfields are sublime. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The stone house dates from 1811 and just oozes charm. Audrey is a great communicator and made our stay a relaxing and memorable one.

The house was lovely and we felt like we had stepped back in time. Audrey was extremely helpful and accommodating to our needs. It was an ideal location for us to visit with family that lived nearby. We enjoyed our morning walks on the quiet road, watching the horses and the goats and feeding the guinea hens. We would definitely stay here again.

We had such an amazing stay at Porcupine Farm! The house is beautiful, even better than the photos. The host was incredibly responsive and made us feel welcome before we even arrived with lots of little tips and details. Kitchen was fantastic to cook in with good quality everything and a lovely space, bedrooms were cozy and sunny with super comfortable beds, and you could feel the history of the old house around you while still having all the modern comforts! Lots of nice touches. Absolutely lovely setting in pretty farmland near hiking trails, and the animals were so much fun! My family of animal lovers adored the friendly goats and the hilarious guinea fowl. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I traveled with four friends so we were looking for four bedrooms and two bathrooms which this house has. In addition, the house is charming and comfortable for a group. Our first two days there were very hot, but the air conditioner in the living room and the fans made the house comfortable. We choose to cook meals in: the kitchen is spacious and completely equipped. The town of Essex is close-by and the ferry is a convenient, inexpensive and fun way to reach Vermont. For people looking for local foods, the Hub on the Hill and Essex Farm are close. I was looking for a charging station for an EV and found that Essex Farm has several which were regularly available at no charge. Thank you, Essex Farm. One day I was sitting in my vehicle while it was charging with another EV owner. A farmer said it was the first time two vehicles were charging at the same time. Audrey Sparre earns her Premium Host designation. She is accessible and helpful. During our stay rain and lightning storms moved into the area putting the dishwasher out of service. Audrey identified the issue and got it working. We have all agreed that it was delightful holiday.
