Classic, cozy farmhouse in the 4 season playground of VT's prettiest town!

Our recently renovated1860’s farmhouse, on 95 acres abutting the banks of the Ottauquechee River, is 3 miles from historic Woodstock Village across the Lincoln Covered Bridge on a dead end dirt road. We have a small vineyard in the front field and it's a 2 minute saunter to our family's self-serve organic produce farm stand in the lower field. The vineyard produces organic method verjus. A five minute stroll across the covered bridge will bring you to The Lincoln Inn & Restaurant, considered a culinary destination. There are many excellent restaurants within easy driving distance: Simon Pearce, Cloudland Farm, Prince & Pauper, Woodstock Inn, Sante, Mangalista, 506 on the River, Worthy Kitchen, Melaza Bistro, Quechee Club, Kedron Inn, Barnard Inn and many more, including a cute little cocktail bar, Au Comptoire in downtown Woodstock.
Woodstock Village provides great shopping, with spa and fitness options at the Woodstock Inn & Resort. Numerous outdoor activities nearby include walking, hiking, biking, tubing, swimming, kayaking, hunting, fishing, golfing, tennis, paddle and pickle ball, riding, skating, sledding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross country and downhill skiing. The farmhouse is 20 minutes to the Killington Skyeship, 40 minutes to Okemo, and 15 minutes to Saskadena Six (formerly Suicide Six). A 10 minute drive to the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park provides trails for walking and cross country skiing, wagon and sleigh rides, as well as educational activities at the Billings Farm Museum (great for kids).
There are multiple music and theater venues within easy driving distance, including Feast & Field in Barnard, Artistree in Pomfret, concerts on The Green and East End Park in Woodstock, Comedy in Bridgewater, Northern Stage in White River Jct, Lebanon Opera House and several theaters at HOP in Hanover, to name a few.
Beer, spirits and wine lovers can explore the local craft breweries, distilleries, wineries and cider makers in the area: Long Trail Ale, Harpoon, Upper Pass, Vermont Spirits, Whistlepig, Silo, La Garagista, and Fable Farm Fermentory to list a few.
Our farmhouse features a kitchen with updated appliances including a new double oven with a 5 burner stove top, original wide board floors, a two person soaking tub, an antique dining table that can expand from seating 4 to seating 8 or more, a sitting porch and fire pit overlooking the vineyard and several acres of field, perfect for star gazing. Guests may walk, snow shoe (we have 4 pair for your use), or cross country ski the fields and old logging roads up the hill, hunt the property during legal seasons, or tour the produce garden and explore or fish along the banks of the Ottauquechee River. The upstairs middle bedroom and bath each boast a slanted Vermont window (aka witch windows in folklore). The downstairs bedroom french doors open onto the lawn and provide vineyard views.

We support solar panels in an array monthly through SunCommon to offset our carbon footprint; we use ecologically safe cleaning products and are always on the lookout for alternatives to single use containers such as laundry soap sheets vs large plastic tubs for detergent. We have a system set up for composting, recycling and separating food scraps from the landfill (per VT law).


Please note: The farm and vineyard are worked by me and my family and occasionally we have outside assistance. There will be days when people will be in the vineyard, accessing the basement and the barn, to carry out tasks. Guests should consider this a "Farm Stay" and are welcome to learn about our operations and join in or just observe agricultural activities if desired. Classes in cooking with verjus and basic organic methods will be offered by appointment. Guests at the vineyard house are asked to be cautious when walking through the vineyard: uneven ground, rocks and holes, trellis wires and anchor wires extending from the trellis end posts are trip hazards. Wires are marked with bright yellow for safety, but walking in the vineyard after dusk is discouraged.

If you wish to bring dogs to the property, you will need to bring a crate. Your pup must stay in the crate anytime you leave it alone in the house. If you take your pet outside, it is wise to keep them on a leash. In addition to the circumstance that people walk the road with their dogs, there are numerous temping scents to follow everywhere (hedgehogs, porcupines, skunks, raccoons, deer, moose and bear). Deer may be dropping fawns in spring. If dogs chase deer anytime of the year, the game warden may shoot the dog. Protect your wonderful pets and help them be less anxious by following these rules.
