Our 1830’s farmhouse is situated on 50 acres of open fields, wild apple trees and maple sugar orchard. The home has three bedrooms, one and one-half bathrooms, galley kitchen with pantry, dining room and living room. Relax on the comfortable large porch and enjoy breathtaking views of the Green Mountains. We even have a team of oxen grazing on the pastures. In addition, there are lovely walking trails in the fields and forest surrounding the farmhouse.
There is plenty of recreational opportunities in the area. Vermont's famous Long Trail is closely, plus the Green Mountain National Forest provides excellent hiking opportunities on Mount Moosalamoo, Romance Mountain, Mt. Horrid, Silver Lake and more. https://goshenvt.org/gmnf/ Easy access to swimming and quiet boating is available Silver Lake and Sugar Hill Reservoir, plus nearby Lake Dunmore's Branbury State Park. https://moosalamoo.org/swim-boat Access some of the best mountain biking in Vermont at the Blueberry Hill, Silver Lake, Chandler Ridge and Leicester Hollow trails, plus Chatfield Loop and Minnie Baker trails. https://www.trailforks.com/region/goshen-1567006814/

Stephanie, Brian, and LOUISA were the best part of this rental, especially Louisa who actually made an extra trip to help us get the fire started on our first night in the farmhouse. We are, after all, city slickers. The accommodations are rustic, not luxurious, but very comfortable. The setting idyllic.

When you choose a non-traditional vacation home through a third party site like VRBO and the like, you never know exactly what might come of it. You can't be sure about the validity of photos, hosts both honoring their commitments and leaving you to roam about on your own without being chaperoned.
That being said, "Vacation in the Green Mountains," was above and beyond what anyone could imagine. The property is capital G Gorgeous. Within minutes of arriving we were greeted with an immaculate sunset that seemed to last for hours. The animals on the property Buster and Bright (Oxen) and the Sheep Flock, greet you with a Moo, a Neigh and a visit every time you come outside or return back to the property.
Stephanie and Brain granted complete privacy during our stay, but were reachable and would visit if we needed supplies. The didn't violate our privacy or make themselves a part of our trip in any way.
I can't speak highly enough about this experience. My Partner and I got exactly what we needed from this trip and vacation. Our only complaint was having to leave at all.
Nights were fire side chats with star gazing and Oxen companionship, mornings were a mixture of dew baths, gentle rains, or autumn greetings from fall foliage and sun-locked beauty.
This is a HUGE FIND. I worry that writing the truth of this review will make it harder to re-book. But they deserve it.

It's a very beautiful old farmhouse - rustic and comfortable. It's situated on a large beautiful stretch of property with a lovely daily walk. We had the company of the two oxen, Buster and Bright, and a flock of sheep with very marked personalities. We bonded with all. Nearby are several amazing lakes. I'm a long-distance swimmer, and it was really liberating being almost alone in these pristine settings with the loons shadowing my movements. The hosts were always responsive whenever we had issues. The time flew by in a flash. It's just a gorgeous, natural spot in Vermont. Our only complaint was that the road had a fair amount of travel on it, with some big trucks rattling by.

This was our third stay at the farm house in Goshen. We keep coming back for a reason: this place is heaven. The property is a beautiful old farmhouse that has been well restored. It is comfortable and has all of the niceties of modern life (good kitchen, excellent water pressure, etc.), with one big exception: no cell service. For us, this was a delight, but I imagine that some guests might not appreciate the lack of connectivity with the outside world. We keep coming back because staying here allows us to really unplug. The farmhouse is situated on a big property: there is a barn, several paddocks (housing sheep!), an old orchard, and woods. The house is near several great hikes and places to swim. It's an easy drive to nearby towns, but they are not *too* close.
