We had a great stay at the farmhouse. It was plenty of room for our family and very convenient to our cousinâs wedding venue. Lots to do very close with Snake Mountain and Lake Champlain just a few miles away. Les and Jenny are very attentive hosts!
Our sonâs wedding was at the Wedding Barn. It was my wife and I first time to Vermont so included a mini vacation out of the trip. Les and Jenny were awesome! We had a great time. I highly recommend.
Our family stayed for over a week for our sonâs graduation from Middlebury College. We had plenty of space and the farmhouse was very well stocked. It was -22 but we were able to stay warm with the gas fireplace and the space heaters in the kitchen. We cooked in a lot and the dining area was perfect to sit 6 of us around the table. The chickens and the alpacas were a bonus! Rustic farmhouse was quaint and spacious. Jenny and Les were very communicative and very helpful! I would recommend for families staying in the area and want some space away from town. Close to the Bridge to New York and to the town of Middlebury.
What a wonderful experience! The farmhouse is from 1880 (owners told us) with three full and recently remodeled bathrooms. I was afraid we would be cold, as it was chilly when we arrived, but it became very cozy, and those heavy wool blankets between the sheets and quilts really work! We cooked full meals for our extended family of eight, played rowdy card games around the table, and had fun feeding the chickens and alpacas our veggie scraps. The owners are very sweet, checked on us, their daughter lives next door - she brought us fresh eggs and is also very kind. We hiked, boys went snowboarding, and generally enjoyed touring lovely Vermont towns. Thank you, Les and Jenny, for sharing your wonderful home!
Staying in this house was a wonderful experience. The hosts who own this farmhouse are wonderful people. They live just down the road and were so gracious in supporting all of our endeavors while at their house. We built a little wood fired pizza stove out of bricks in their yard and they let us do that. It was a wonderful way for us to celebrate our daughterâs and nieceâs college graduations. We made homemade ravioli too while there and just so enjoyed the venue of the farmhouse and property. We were 8 to 10 people at max capacity (after Sunday dorm closure) and we fit perfectly even as 10 - 3 on the third floor, 6 on the second (all in beds, some shared queens, some twins), and one on the pullout couch. We loved the hosts and got to visit their Alpaca farm and see a new Alpaca baby, feed them (they have over 40), and also enjoy their puppy and cat (king of their own farm down the street). If you love VT rolling hills and farms and green, and enjoy a farmhouse stay, you will love staying here! This place needs and deserves to be busy post Covid! It was a quick drive into Middlebury and also many small quaint towns nearby. We did several swims/dips - at Dunmore & Silver Lake, at a gorge off the Tam trail, at a waterfall just outside Bristol, and at the Dog Team river. We did jumps at 3 of those places (into the water). We just love VT!! Thank you Jenny and Les for a wonderful stay.
We had a great time with Les and Jenny hosting our friends and family for our wedding at their beautiful venue! We had a few people stay in the VRBO and they loved it. The house was clean with great detail and perfect location to the venue and easy to get to Middlebury! I would highly recommend booking this VRBO.
Our stay at the farmhouse was amazing!! We got married at their venue The Vermont Wedding Barn and Les and Jenny were absolutely amazing to work with. Absolutely zero complaints. Highly recommend!
The property was great and as described. Everyone was very comfortable during our 3 night stay, and it was great to see all of the Alpacas on the property.
It was neat to stay in such an old house and imagine what it would have been like to live in it in the mid 1800's.
Les and Jenny were very welcoming and helpful, they were even able to find a grill so we could BBQ!
When my son and his fiance told us of their plans to get married in Bridport VT at the Wedding Barn, we immediately looked for a place to house our big family. Les and Jenny's place came up and we were sold... enough bathrooms for everyone to get ready, a large kitchen and plenty of bedrooms. We had more than enough space and never ran out of hot water for the many showers.
Les and Jenny could not have been better hosts, staying in close contact to make sure we were comfortable, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend their property!
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this authentic 1800s farmhouse. It is beautifully located in the middle of farm fields with lovely mountain views. One major highlight for our kids was feeding compost to the alpaca's at Les and Jenny's farm. The location is convenient to a variety of outdoors activities--we had fun winter hiking and cross country skiing in the area!
Jennie and Les and daughter Grace were very helpful and accessible. They mainly left us alone as we preferred. The house is a large rambling old house that is also cozy and comfortable. The landscape is farmlands, animals, big sky, and close to a bridge across Lake Champlain to New York. Middlebury is a nice town to visit, not far away.
We were a group of college students looking to get off campus for thanksgiving break, cook, sleep and play some board games, and this place was perfect for us. We did a ton of cooking (10 young-adult mouths to feed!) and the kitchen was stocked full with everything we needed. The alpaca were quite cute and happily gobbled up our compost. The living room and gas stove are very cozy, the foosball table saw many high-intensity games, and the TV cupboard is stocked full with old-school DVDs and cassettes. Beds were comfortable, already made and rooms/bathrooms were supplied with everything. The farm is roughly an hourâs (brisk) walk from Lake Champlain and there is a dirt road that leads straight through Bridport to a small park by the lake. We caught some beautiful views on our way there and back. There is a bathtub with jaccuzi jets on the third floor which we were able to enjoy. Jenny and Les were extremely welcoming and hospitable, always making sure we had everything we needed, were happy to show us around their farm if we wanted (even drive us there given the rough weather), and the arrival and exit processes were extremely smooth. Would certainly recommend this lovely place for small and large groups alike!
Great time staying here while we explored the surrounding area. We have 5 kids and it gave us all room to relax, spread out, and sleep well while we stayed for nearly a week. Was a great central location for checking out the different towns and attractions in the area. We loved staying here! Hosts were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They live down the road and had a lot of helpful information. If we are ever back this way we would plan to stay here again.
We have been hosting guests for over 30 years now, and try our hardest to be sure you have the best time. It's an 150 year old farmhouse on an old dirt road, and things can come up. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask, and if it's with reason we'll do our level best to help, whether it's some item you need or a local "best' question. Jenny spends a whole day after each guest c leaning and personally cleans and will do a last minute walk thru to be sure we haven't missed a lady bug or a speck or dirt.
Very accessible to town and Pratt's Award winning Country Store by modern car and conveniences, but a genuine rural setting, surrounded by hundreds of acres of pastures and woods, you may even have a tractor drive by the house.
Historic... Historic... Historic...It is The Fiddlers House on Fiddlers' Lane, and did we say fully appointed with modern kitchen equipment for a chef and full laundry for the active family. WIFI. The adjoining caretaker apt (Separate unit, entries, utilities and driveway, yard so you have your privacy...) was probably the original house facing south and is built on log or stump piers, stone foundation and still has a well or "cistern" dating into the late 1700's.
