  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.

• An Honest Review

  5/5

  Coming from a background of rural living, farming, and dealing with honest people, I think I’m fit for leaving an honest review.

  Our stay was first met with challenges that could not be controlled by anyone. Weather delayed our stay by a whole day, but Donna was kind enough to refund 2 nights. (Was not requested by us) this was nice due to unseen costs we had to pay to stay somewhere else.

  Once at the house, it was wonderful. I could tell instantly that one side of the house was extremely old. (Early 1800’s) This was great to see such a cool piece of history of old Vermont. If you’re looking for a beautiful rustic farmhouse to stay with plenty of room and great price? This is it. The house was comfortably cool the entire stay, but that forced everyone to spend quality time in the living room near the fire place.

  But even this was not the highlight of my stay, personally. Donna, the owner is what made me happy choosing to stay at their home in Chester. Communication was excellent, seeing work horses being worked in the field was also great to see. Got to spend time in some poor weather speaking with Donna as well. 10/10 I would recommend to a friend and will also be returning in the future for winter ski trips.

• Very relaxing

  5/5

  It is definitely somewhat isolated but the fact that it was a working farm with horses and sheep was such a thrill for our grandkids (age 6-10). They loved feeding the horses and interacting with the owners. Sitting around the fire pit was relaxing for the adults. We were three generations and had a wonderful time interacting and enjoying seeing the children have such a good time. Our family dog seemed to like the farm atmosphere as well. Donna and Peter were wonderful hosts. We hope to go back some day.

• Awesome stay!!

  5/5

  Fantastic. Very peaceful. Loved seeing the horses and sheep in the distance. Blueberry picking onsite, hiking trails out the door, kids playing in the shallow river down the hill. Echo lake and going up the chairlift at okemo were awesome. Fire pit was perfect. Attentive and friendly host. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and plan to go back!
