About this farm stay rental
Located in Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom, our circa 1850 farmhouse is an oasis of hand-hewn charm and modern comfort high above the noise and worries of everyday life. Except for a nearby sugar house, we're the only place on a secluded dirt road and are surrounded by over 21 acres of fields & forest, peace & quiet (the nearest neighbor is over 1/2 mile away). However, the road is maintained year-round and the farmstead is only 1.2 miles from Vermont Route 14-- giving easy access to all the Northeast Kingdom has to offer.
The Wells Farmstead is truly a four-season paradise. Spring brings maple syrup from the sugar house just out back, along with apple blossoms and lilac festivals. In summertime, there are nearby lakes for recreation, sculling in Craftsbury, trails for hiking, farmer's markets in nearby villages and hunting for antiques. The fall is ripe with gorgeous colors, apples and wood smoke during crisp evenings. In winter, the Craftsbury Nordic Center offers renowned cross country trails, while downhill skiers will find Stowe, Smuggler's Notch, Jay Peak, Burke, Sugarbush or Mad River Glen from 45 to 90 minutes from the farm!
If you are interested in food and craft brewing, you'll find Hill Farmstead Brewery, Jasper Hill Farm, Pete's Greens and Hardwick ('the town that food saved') just minutes away.
For rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation, no matter the season, come home to Wells Farmstead in Craftsbury, Vermont!

We traveled with family to see the total solar eclipse and had beautiful weather. The farmhouse is spacious and bright and very cozy. It sits up on a ridge with beautiful views across the valley. Perfect place for a family gathering or quiet getaway.

Lovely Vermont farmhouse that was especially well suited to our group, two families meeting for a weekend of skiing at the Outdoor Center. Kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with anything you could need. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

We had a lovely stay at this comfortable and quiet farmhouse. The house and kitchen were well stocked, and we grabbed food at the nearby Craftsbury General Store to cook dinner. House was clean, beds were comfy. The living rooms are a little small, so not great space to hang out and relax in for more than one person (TV is in the bedroom). We easily went back and forth to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and would stay here again.

We loved our stay at Jay's house, it was quiet, clean, and had beautiful views. Plenty of room for the dogs and a nice road to walk them on. The only traffic was the occasional vehicle checking on the sugaring operation. The kids had yard space to play and a nice area upstairs to themselves. We'd definitely stay again.

The house is a great combination of old VT farmhouse and modern comfort. Beds and couches are comfortable, shower is strong. The well-stocked kitchen has just about every pot, pan, and gadget imaginable. The host has really anticipated any and all needs! The property is serenely quiet, with only The Jones Family farm's maple sugaring shack around the corner from the house. You look out on green fields and the hills and farms of Craftsbury. The garden plantings are lovely, too. Our dog loved zooming around on the mowed paths and exploring the trail up past the sugar shack.
We hope to come back some day.

If you're looking for a peaceful and quite vacation Jay's house in Craftsbury is the place. The house is very spacious and comfortable. It might look old at first, but all the important amenities have been updated. The yard offers stunning views of the area, the star-link internet worked great for us (a family of six with 3 teenagers).
Craftsbury township is really nice, and the general store had everything we needed. Nothing is too far from Craftsbury. If you are looking for lakes, hikes or Mountain biking you can easily find it all in the area.
The road to the house is not paved, and a AWD car is recommended.
We will come back, for sure.

We had a nice stay here. The house was well set up, had a very easy check in/check out process, and was in a very pretty area and convenient location.

I was traveling with family and dogs, and my top priority was finding good walking/hiking opportunities right out the door, without having to pay a park or community usage fee. This house was perfect for that - the host had a flexible policy regarding pets, the property was on a private dirt road, and was adjacent to fields which had mown trails into the nearby woods.
The interior of the house was well appointed. Once we received clarification from the host on the status of certain items, we did not want for anything further for the rest of our stay.
Note, however: this is an antique farmhouse, so old house can equal certain quirks. If you walk in expecting a homogeneous hotel experience, you’ll need to recalibrate your expectations. The host is excellent with his response time and with the helpfulness of his responses, though!
If we need lodging again in that area of Vermont, we would book again, no hesitation!

This is a perfect stay for anyone looking to explore Vermont and especially to check out the Outdoor center! The beds are very comfy and the host left us a little welcome present so we felt right at home immediately! 10/10 we will be back for sure!
Thanks for a great stay!

What a place. Situated in the midst of beautiful fields. Peaceful and quiet. We were able to ski right out the front door. The place was spotless, super comfy beds, and everything you need to make for a relaxing and comfortable weekend. Great location, close to Stowe, Craftsbury Nordic Center. We will definitely be back to do more exploring.

My family visiting from Europe and I truly enjoyed our stay at this place.
I could spend the rest of my life in this kitchen.
Loved the corner area breakfast/cocktail place. All houses should have this set up this way. And what a beautiful view. Not for the city people, it might be too quiet. Personally, I love it!
Thank you for hosting us. Take care.
Thanks again!

Great fall getaway for family gathering
Our group of six adults found this farmhouse to be charming and comfortable for our family gathering. The location is somewhat remote, but we enjoyed walking in the area and then driving to go hiking. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances worked well. We were able to sit around the kitchen table to eat and play games.
The welcome basket of treats was a lovely bonus!
Overall, a great stay!

It is a charming, rural Vermont getaway on a beautiful property. The driveway was a little difficult to manage in the heavy rain, and we did come home a couple of times to unknown cars on the property. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Wonderful Vermont Farmhouse Stay!
Our family had a great, relaxing stay at this property in Vermont. Great farmhouse with plenty of land, privacy, and quiet- was the perfect way to rest and recharge at the end of the summer. Perfect, classic New England experience! We were pleased with the home and property and would love to stay there again.

Magical Retreat
This is one of the most magical places I have visited. The house is charming, and the property is idyllic (with gorgeous mountain views!). The beds were incredibly comfortable; the kitchen is well stocked with spices, utensils, and gadgets; and everything was clean. I will certainly return in the future.

Vermont Staycation
We found this property to perfectly suit our needs. We found it to be clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was close to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, where we spend much of our time in the winter. There was a much appreciated gift basket waiting for us on the dining room table.

Mostly good, with some reservations
Although aspects of this house were lovely—idyllic location, proximity to skiing and general store, art work, bedroom furnishings and bedding, spaciousness of kitchen— the house was in need of repairs and updating and some aspects were disappointing. We still enjoyed our visit and might return.

Wonderful farmhouse and great views
Well appointed bedrooms and a large cozy kitchen with easy walking trails up the hill right out the door. Beautiful sunsets and views. We loved the quiet and being at the end of a road (except for the sugar house). We would definitely return.

Beautiful country home
Overall the location of the house is beautiful and remote. It was fantastic to be isolated and enjoy the nature and scenery without having anyone else around. The issue was a pest problem in the house presumably because of the time of the year, while the kitchen is stocked with everything you can ask for, rodent droppings were all over these things as well as in the kitchen in general. Beyond this issue in the kitchen everything in the house was very very good and we enjoyed our stay.

A hidden B&B in the NEK
This old farmhouse was a delightful experience from the moment we opened the door!
It was clean, well-maintained and meticulously decorated.
It's on a very private area, with beautiful views of the Green Mountain state.

beautiful country setting
We stayed for the weekend as I was registered to run a road race (that started just down the road from the house). Beautiful property and a classic farm house with all the creature comforts. Our dog was very excited by the new smells on his country walks. Simply perfect for us and we will be back. Amazingly peaceful setting!!!

Quintessential Vermont - a winter wonderland!
This was our second stay at the Wells Farmhouse and it didn't disappoint! Had our entire family together for the long holiday weekend - adult children, their significant others, our grandchild, and the dogs. It's so nice to have a place that can accommodate all of us. Off the beaten path, this home is close enough to a wide variety of things to do and yet can be a true oasis from the may-lay. We are already talking about planning another weekend next winter.

Rural and charming
A comfortable home with all the amenities! Everything was clean and comfortable and well stocked! The Craftsbury Center is not far and we went there every day to cross country ski. The Craftsbury General Store 🏬 s amazing. And there was plenty of great walking around the property.
