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 had a great visit overall. There was lots of room. Lots of amenities. Plenty of linens, pots and pans and other kitchen amenities. There was a wonderful welcome basket that included a pancake mix, syrup, coffee, and wine. There is a great general store nearby. It is in the middle of nowhere but it was nice to be away. The house has some things that need work but nothing you can’t work with. Great owner and property overall.

    Great secluded spot, nice and roomy, very nice view from the kitchen nook table. Great place to stay to get away from your busy life and just relax. The Craftsbury General store has pizza way better than you would expect for a general store in the middle of a tiny town in 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.
