Jamaica, Vermont
Welcome to our Jamaica farmhouse, a place with space to live and breathe the beauty that Vermont has to offer. Simple, authentic, and perfectly close to the village, yet quiet and serene. The peaceful sound of water over stones can be heard from the brook outside the front door. Minutes away from the slopes and other outdoor activities, the entire house is a library- a real treasure for those days one might rather curl up by the stove. The attached yoga/ meditation studio is completely private (windows and skylights face away towards the mountains and the back of the 2 acre property.
Physical Description/ Walk Through:
The house has an attached barn with covered parking for one car and an insulated room to remove and store ski equipment. The hallway between the house and barn leads to the kitchen, a yoga studio with Buddhist shrine, and a fenced in dog yard that backs up to our summer cabins. The kitchen and dining area are together. There is a small wood stove at the far end of the dining area. Also downstairs is a living room with a large wall mounted TV and wood stove, a den/guest bedroom with a double futon sofa bed, and a bathroom with a shower and laundry.
The second floor has a large master bedroom with a full bed and work desk, and a small single bedroom. The rooms share a full bathroom that is accessible from either bedroom.
The 3rd floor is a converted attic that is a great room for kids. There is a trundle bed, a single bed and a full futon couch, so it can sleep up to 5 young ones. There is a 1/2 bath and a television upstairs.
The Village:
The town of Jamaica, just steps away, is a friendly Vermont village. Westriver Provisions is a wonderful market with a great selection of necessities including local produce, breads, pastries and an extensive craft beer selection. There are always seasonal festivals and local activities. Jamaica State Park is also a quick, and beautiful walk from the house.
The Area:
There is a wonderfully healthy Co-Op in Brattleboro, a grocery store in nearby Londonderry and every kind of shopping, including designer outlets, in Manchester. Enjoy the many restaurants also nearby- from diners to gourmet award winning dining. Please feel free to ask me for recommendations!
We stayed at this great Jamaica farm house for a weekend in October. Great house and great town equals great memories. The fall colors were spectacular and the state park is within walking distance form the house. Great place to explore. We hope to visit again sooner than later.
We had a wonderful week in this most beautiful location. I already miss my morning walks along the west river trail in the Jamaica state park just down the road. The location is stunning. The house fit 6 of us very comfortably. We loved hanging out in the backyard with coffee in the am or over dinner in the pm. The yoga studio an extra treat! So much to do in the area. And just a short walk to town to pick up amazing D&K sandwiches!
We can't wait to come back to this sweet house! My kids (5 and 3) loved playing in the brook across the road for hours, running around the back yard, swinging in the hammock, and they especially loved the kids' room on the top floor. We loved the views from the front porch, meditation-retreat vibe, and farmhouse charm (those wide pine floors). Jamaica is a lovely town, the grocery is a short walk for the foods and supplies we needed, but all in all it was quiet and calm. The house is full of books and all the amenities we needed - washer/dryer, window fans, well stocked kitchen, so many towels, and other supplies. I've never loved a vacation rental as much as this one, it was wonderful to feel so at home.
We had a group of 10 stay over a long weekend of skiing. Kitchen was equipped for us to cook dinner in each night, and plenty of beds to accommodate us. It was just a short drive over to Stratton. The property is great and set away from the main road so very quiet. Plan on staying again in the future!
This house is beautiful, personal, and perfect for a group of 5-10 people. We loved the location, yoga room, and sprawling backyard. Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality!
We (a family of five) had a wonderful stay in this renovated farmhouse. It is furnished well, has a wonderful library, a well-stocked kitchen, and is set up to inspire a relaxing and contemplative stay. We loved waking up to the sound of the brook directly across the street. The house is within an easy walk of a well-stocked general store and state park (the Overlook Vista trail now, at peak foliage, is breathtaking). We hope to return!
Loved our time in Vermont at this special house! There is such ease when it comes to staying at this home, from making reservations, to finding everything you'd need to make a killer meal at a little market just a short walk from the house, to the soothing sounds of the water running over the rocks just outside your window made this an amazing and easygoing experience. a short 15 minute drive to the mountain and endless fun exploring around the neighborhood and this perfect home.This will forever be such a special weekend for myself and friends and I hope to make it back much sooner than later.
We spent a wonderful weekend at this warm and inviting, very Vermont home. Our party included my spouse and I and our two sons 9 and 12 as well as my parents who are in their 70's. We had great skiing at nearby mountains and really found everything we needed in this home. There was plenty of room and a wonderful yard to explore. Everything about this house made our weekend easy and pleasant from a shoveled path to the door that you could pull your car right in front of, to the clean and well appointed home. I would definitely recommend a visit.
This beautiful farmhouse has become part of our family tradition. Plenty of room for the eight of us. The farmer's kitchen table and comfortable living room are the hub while 3 stories allowed for private reading, and naps as needed. Listen to the sound of running water as you fall asleep. Beds are comfy with nice linens and blankets provided. Kids built an igloo in the back yard while adults practiced yoga and the beautiful studio space. We skied Bromley, Killington, and Magic Mountain, with Magic taking the cake for that laid back Vermont ski experience. No lift lines, varied terrain, and good snow. Check out scenic Rt 100, the Grafton Nordic center, Grafton Cheese Factory, and Jamaica State park in the back yard. Great for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Too bad Jamaica doesn't have a restaurant. The D and K grocery is great for any staple, beer and wine, and last minute meals. if your a foodie, you've got to check out Solo Farm and Table in So Londonderry, amazing! Also 15 minutes away, New American Grille, good fare. Skip Jake's Tavern though.
