We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historic home in Chester and would happily return. Full of character, with gorgeous antique furnishings, artwork, and original wide plank floors, it offers an authentic Vermont atmosphere alongside every modern comfort, including air conditioning and a towels warming rack. The attention to detail truly stood out. Polly and Ian met us upon arrival and gave us a great tour of the house. They welcomed us with zucchini bread, milk, and drinks in the fridge—such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. The entire home was filled with small details that made our stay especially comfortable and reflected how much the hosts care about their guests’ experience. Polly and Ian were incredibly kind and communicative. Polly’s recommendations for dining and exploring were excellent, and their welcome book—filled with maps, local tips, and fascinating history—was outstanding. The location was perfect for exploring southern Vermont, from swimming holes and waterfalls to scenic back roads, antique shops, and farm markets.We highly recommend this home for an authentic Vermont getaway and would gladly stay again. We especially appreciated the postcard you gave us with the picture of your house—it was such a lovely and personal touch!

My husband and I traveled from Michigan and chose Chester as a location to meet our daughter who lives in Connecticut. Everything that was said about the Stone House turned out to be more than accurate. Peggy and Ian have lovingly restored the house retaining it’s history and bringing it into a relaxing, beautiful, and modern space. We were able to spend three days together in quiet comfort. Our gratitude to Peggy and Ian for their help. They were available and provided great answers for our questions about the surrounding area. We highly recommend a stay at the 1840 Stone House in Chester, Vermont.

Our stay was a Vermont Dream!!!

The house was perfect. Extremely clean, well stocked and inviting. Owners were true hosts. Will be back again.
