off the beaten path
Place was quiet, quaint and comfortable. Host was very friendly making it a great stay.
Beautiful spot in a natural setting. Property owner was very informative about the areas around us as well as the area we were in. A tour of his rescue animals was very enjoyable and informative. It was the perfect getaway. The apartment supplied everything we needed. I would highly recommend a stay there.

Owner, Carol, was wonderful. Once booked, we talked thru VRBO app. Carol stocked fridge w/wine, fresh eggs from farm, etc. Carol, offered tour of farm, meet animals. WOW, I would've loved to do farm adventure. Unfortunately, had to cancel last minute because of a tragic death in my family. Kindly Carol offered full refund. and offered to refund in full

Such a warm and friendly place to stay! Wonderful hosts.
The apartment is clean, cozy and welcoming. Set on an out of the way road, but close to Springfield. The property is beautiful. David and Carol and great hosts. We got the farm tour, and met the donkeys, yaks, grass and chickens. We will be back!

Girls weekend on a farm
This place was absolutely lovely! My best friend and I stayed here the first weekend in August.we really enjoyed our stay… The space offers a lot of room and a full kitchen. The owners were extremely kind and provided water bottles, fresh eggs, and a complementary bottle of Chardonnay for our stay here. They also introduced us to the animals at the farm, which was lovely… The donkeys are so nice! Overall, we had a great time reconnecting with nature while still being in a good area to drive to ski resorts to do a summer lift activity. We definitely would love to come back!

It was very quiet and peaceful stay. Good space, fully staffed kitchen, special treatment from the host. Reasonable driving distance to Okemo resort. Local (Harris) road is narrow in winter and may be challenging to pass with an oncoming car. We enjoyed this accommodation.

4 days of skiing
The accommodations are roomy, but basic. We were a bit unlucky with a couple of things going out of order on us. But those were addressed rather promptly. Carol and David were genuinely welcoming. David showed us the property with wonderful animals - donkeys. And we enjoyed eggs from the farm’s chickens.
We came with an idea to ski Okemo. The distance was advertised as 7.6mi. In reality it was 14-15mi. Nothing terrible even after a snowfall. Took us 25-30 min.
