We had an incredible time staying here for my friend’s bachelorette party. I was a bit worried about staying during such a hot weekend, but the air conditioners in the bedrooms helped to keep us cool. The hosts were kind enough to leave us a note and a bottle of chilled wine in the fridge, which got our weekend off to a great start! They were communicative, kind, and impeccable hosts. The house is very cute and close to restaurants that took me by surprise with how good they were! Would definitely recommend to anyone for a cozy escape in a beautiful VT home!

We had a wonderful time staying at this charming farmhouse. It was spacious, immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed to have a wonderful girls weekend. The bedrooms, dining room and living room were comfortable for spending hours gathered around a meal or chatting. The location gave us all kinds of options, from grabbing a pizza around the corner, enjoying downtown Chester, stopping in to the Vermont Country Store or having dinner in Ludlow. Would highly recommend staying here any time of year. We really enjoyed our stay. Particularly because the hosts provided excellent communication from start to finish.

Stayed for the weekend to attend wedding in town. Wonderful place that had everything we needed. Had a little trouble locating the key, was attached to railing on the steps leading to the door. Called the hosts number and was immediately answered and advised where the key was located. Allowed us to check in early to get ready for the wedding. Great communication and would definitely stay again. Short trip to Okemo for those who ski and Chester is quaint little New England town. Excellent location IMO.

We really enjoyed this property. The house was spacious, exactly as described. So many nice little touches throughout. What a comfortable and clean home. The little market across the street was perfect for what you need for a weekend without needing to head to a large grocery store. I would 100% recommend a stay here to anyone looking. Oh! And this fantastic pizza spot with live music 2 minutes away…Pizza Stone. Fantastic venue for all ages.
