About this house rental
This cozy, well cared for and well-appointed 1840’s two-story farmhouse is surrounded by National Forest Service land, and puts you in the middle of year round outdoor adventure or quiet relaxation. Hiking, swimming holes, mountain bike trails, downhill skiing, Nordic skiing and river tubing are within a 30 minute drive or less. The Town of Rochester, and its restaurants, cafés, bookstore, and antique shop is only a 5 minute drive.
Our house reflects much of what we love and look for most in a vacation rental. A space that is clean and uncluttered, but not devoid of character. A well stocked kitchen for making food and a large dining room table to share it with friends and family, cozy bedrooms with comfortable beds and quality linens, a living room with plenty of comfortable seating to play a game or watch a movie, simple but well-made antique or hand crafted furnishings, a front porch with a picnic table and a view, and a back yard for grilling and whiffle ball.
Guests will have exclusive access to the property. The main entry way to the house is through an unfinished space, which offers a place to take off your boots and store your outdoor gear before entering the main house. We ask that you do not go up the stairs to the second floor of the unfinished entry space. As with many old farmhouses in VT, there is an old barn at the back for the property. Guests should not enter it.
We do not allow renters to bring their pets. However for those will allergies, please note that we do have a dog that does come to the house with us when we are there. He is a labrador-poodle mix (a breed considered to be hypoallergenic), and does not bother his owner who is allergic to dogs.
Our cleaning fee covers 4 hours of cleaning. This is how long it takes to change and wash all the linens, clean the 2 bathrooms, and vacuum the whole house. It does not include the time needed for cleaning the kitchen as well. Guests are expected to clean up after themselves in the kitchen. This means any spills or splatters on the stove, counter, sink, cabinets, walls, or floor are wiped up. If it was not clean when you arrived, it is your responsibility to let me know. If the kitchen requires cleaning after your stay, extra fees will apply. Our cleaner does not always have the flexibility, especially on short notice or during the busy season, to stay at our house longer to clean a mess in the kitchen.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the North Porch Farmhouse. The house has a lot of character and charm. The owner/host definitely put a lot of thought (from wooden furniture to little knickknacks and accents (props to uses of hay forks throughout the house!) into creating a welcoming atmosphere so that her guests enjoy their stay. The house is very clean and warm (we stayed during the heart of winter) even when the temps are way below zero in Fahrenheit). There is plenty of entertainment around the house from board games to snowshoes to sledding. So kids won’t be bored. The house is centrally located to many ski resorts - killington and pico 30 min), Stowe and memo 1 hour), sugarbush and mad river (30 minutes). There is a small supermarket in town. House has everything you need for cooking so you can save money on restaurants. The owner/host is most gracious and has been wonderful throughout the reservation process and our stay. Great communication. The house has great WiFi but please note if you’re not an At&t customer, you will not get a cell signal anywhere near or in the house or within at least 10 mile radius of this town. A minor inconvenience. Definitely recommend staying at this property! Thank you to the owner/host.

This is a charming historic farmhouse, very well equipped and beautifully furnished, definitely one of a kind. The only problem we had was with the keys. Only one set seemed to work.
