    We stayed at the Farmhouse over a picture-perfect VT weekend. The host was accessible and communicative from booking through check-in, mid-stay, and wished us well on the way out. The home is just as expansive, well-lit, and beautiful as it appears in the photos. What you can’t see is how truly clean everything is: the light switches, the grout, the throw blankets and sofa pillows. Everything was fresh and welcoming. There was ample and comfy seating in the front and picturesque rear of the home. We booked 4 nights over graduation weekend, and while it wasn’t inexpensive, we slept 5 very comfortably in a unique and well-appointed home just 10 miles from where we needed to be. Extremely well worth it!
