The nearly 200-year old Carley Farmhouse nestled amidst the Vermont hills is a real keeper! The natural beauty of the area is stunning, and nature lovers will appreciate the bird chatter, occasional monarch butterfly, starry skies, complete with fireflies in the yard! Gather chairs around the firepit in the yard at night and enjoy it all. Inside, there are several living areas including a small back sunporch that is a quiet retreat both during the day and at night. We didn't end up using the second floor LR. Our host Daniel was incredibly responsive. We needed to text him a couple of times, and he never failed to respond to our inquiries within a few minutes, typically following up later to make sure things were resolved. The house itself is a genuine antique which has been upgraded to comfortable standards. The large farmhouse table can easily accommodate 8 for meals, and card games at night. The bedrooms all have great linens and mattresses. Bathrooms are stocked with plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash No need to bring coffee or maple syrup. It is also generously provided. Another nice touch is that BRs & common living areas have charging ports for phones and computers ~ a great convenience. We found plenty to do during our stay ~ Tanglewood, Bennington, the Robert Frost House, and the Mills Landing swimming spot. Wilmington is a cool little town with cafés, gift shops, galleries, and restaurants. Our family and friends loved this very special spot...

This house was a homerun. It was so clean and up to date; the small touches like the chargers in every room, and the kid friendly play area made staying in the house a joy. The back porch was basically our oasis for morning coffee, toddlers naptime reading and late night relaxing. The beds were very comfortable and the crib was in a room with blackout curtains, which made putting a feral 2yo to bed a cinch. They also had a training potty, and a high chair, which tells me this owner really enjoys families. We haven’t encountered that before, so it made packing a breeze! Daniel was also incredibly prompt, all our concerns and messages were answered in minutes, and he was incredibly helpful and welcoming. We will definitely stay again!

Overall we had a great stay for the weekend - this was a nice escape from the city and a great launchpad for hiking! We really enjoyed sitting in the sunroom with our coffee in the morning. The rooms were also comfortable and spacious, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. My one piece of feedback is that the place could use a thorough dusting!

House was perfect for our family vacation. The children’s playroom was absolutely incredible! All beds were luxuriously comfy! Kitchen was fully stocked. Host was responsive and accommodating. Check-in and out could not be easier! Recommended for perfect combo of rustic and relaxing.
