Welcome to Burke Nest! Our place combines the charm and warmth of a traditional Vermont farmhouse with a modern sensibility for open space, natural light, and bold color accents.

This house was purchased and lovingly restored by a group of three friends with a passion for design and the outdoors. In the original 19th century part of the house you find four cozy bedrooms and a sitting parlor. The kitchen and dining areas, newly rebuilt, are part of an open-concept space with lots of windows, a giant sliding glass door onto a large deck, and a high-end modern chef's kitchen.

Kids especially love the quirkiness of the house, and the kids' room is connected to a bold red bridge above the kitchen where they can overlook the action.

The babbling river that borders our 5 acres makes for a very pleasant soundscape, and a cooling summer dip.

The large deck with its expansive views of Burke Mountain, the Passumpsic River, and cows grazing in the distance is perfect for your summer holiday.

There are plenty of nooks away from the main area, where one can find some peace and quiet to read a book.

The house is located on the edge of the small village of West Burke, less than 10 minutes from Burke Mountain and the famous mountain biking Kingdom Trails to the south, and to the stunning Willoughby Lake to the north.

A cozy TV area has access to Netflix and other streaming services.

Note/disclosure: We have one web enabled security camera on the property, located outdoors by the entrance/parking area.

    Wonderful stay at the farmhouse. Beautiful property by the creek. Location to east Burke and Lake Willoughby was perfect. We will be back!

    Check-in was easy.House needs a refresh in terms of interior paint, area rugs, painted wood floors.Overall, could use a deep clean (especially fridge which we did ourselves and upstairs shower door track, etc.)Great stereo, quiet neighborhood, river sound behind house beautiful!

    The house lived up to its billing and our three-generational family (and friend) had a lovely peaceful week here, exploring the area and relaxing in the space and gathering blackberries for breakfast every morning. The hiccup at the beginning (arriving to find the house hadn’t been cleaned/cleared after the unexpected last guest) was soon rectified. We would have like more clothes hanging space and towel rails and maybe a step to reach the top kitchen shelf for those of us less than six feet tall (it’s where the lemon squeezer was hiding!). And it would have been good to have a board on which to rest one of the many 1000 piece jigsaws. But overall a perfect stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay at The Nest. It was all very clean, had plenty of space for 4 adults and to children to sleep and spread out. The views are unmatched and we enjoyed a few quick walks down to the creek. We will definitely be back!

    A group of us shared this space for two nights while we did some ice climbing on Mt Pisgah. Lots of beds, well stocked, great location! Highly recommended.

    Good house for a skiing vacation for an extended family group. Ample space for bedrooms (the linens were a high quality and a nice touch). Aside from some cleaning issues on arrival- looked like cleaning person didn't complete the prior cleaning service with lots of dog hair left on stairs and downstairs bedroom / bathroom, the house was exactly as pictured. There is a neighbor who came to check in on us several times and help us out working a few quirky things - like the touch faucet in kitchen and how to lock / unlock the front door easily. Good communication with the owner throughout. We appreciated all the info in the house 'manual' and used many of the suggestions for activities and restaurants. We also enjoyed the puzzles and games. If you are a family that likes to watch a movie together that was the one negative, the TV room was small and upstairs by the bedrooms. The house is beautifully restored and unique. Location is good for access to Burke Mountain for skiing.
