10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Our family had a wonderful experience at the farm. Donna and Pete were lovely hosts who live just up the next driveway. There was plenty of room for our family of seven to spread out. We saw the horses and sheep. We picked blueberries. We played in the river and saw many tadpoles and frogs. The books in the study were excellent. Many were older. If you are a literature or history buff, this is the room to stay in. We were given plenty of linens and dishes. This is a much older house so just be aware of the uneven floor. Loved that there was air conditioning which we usually don’t have in a rural vacation rental. There’s a hutch at the base of the road where you can buy maple syrup. You can walk up another road and see where the trees are tapped. There’s also an old (1800s) cemetery you can visit. We didn’t really do anything but stay within short distance of the house. The Shaw’s is only a 15 min drive. Cell coverage is spotty but WiFi is good.

The farmhouse was the perfect spot for old friends with new little to reconnect. Great space for big meals, the living room was great for us to chat and let the toddlers play. Our hosts were awesome and shared their lambs and foal with us! The property was just stunning

Charming is the key word for this place! From the huge stone fireplace, to the solid wood, exposed beams, to the spacious bedrooms, to the portrait-like, snow-covered surroundings complete with horses and a barn, our family of 8, including 2 grandkids, loved our time at the Chester, VT Farmhouse. We hope to return someday!

Lovely house on beautiful property. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Smokeshire Farm. We will never forget the moon rising over the hill or being greeted by the sheep in the morning.
