Mount Harmony Farm Vacation Guest House

We tremendously enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were generous and helpful, the house was sweet and the garden was magical!

The property was charming, and the hosts warm and welcoming. We were delighted over and over again with how thoughtfully equipped the property was, and we found the hosts to be very generous and interesting.The view from the second flooor picture window was spectacular!We're definitely looking forward to staying there again, and seeing Steffi and Marc, *encore!*

There are a few issues we experienced that we wanted to pass along for those considering this rental: 1. Bathrooms: photos or descriptions of the bathrooms weren’t included in the listing. Due to the unusual size of the bathrooms (not being easily accessible for plus size or tall people) that these should absolutely be included in the listing, as it can cause a real issue for some people. Also, the cleanliness of the bathroom was a real issue. The shower had mold on the mat and shower curtain and it appeared that it was not cleaned beforehand. 2. Excessive Bugs: during our stay we killed 10+ flies and 10+ lady bugs a day in the great room upstairs *alone*. We understand we were staying at a farm, so to a degree we could understand an extra presence of bugs around the house. But the degree we experienced the bugs was clearly due to a problem with a crack or opening somewhere in the house that allowed an outrageous amount of insects in throughout the day and night. 3. Water: there was a very strong and pervasive “rotten egg” smell from all the water sources (besides the filtered drinking water provided). 4. General cleanliness: While it’s a beautiful space with lots of character and charm, it was obvious the space was not sufficiently cleaned before our arrival. From a used/dirty coffee maker, hair on the shower floor, and general dust throughout the property. It left us feeling like we weren’t confident things had been sanitized and made ready for new guests

Very well-maintained house. The one complaint is that the water pressure was really low in the shower. Plenty of linens, blankets, and all other necessary housewares. Just bring your clothes, toiletries, and beach chairs. The hosts live in the house next door, and are very friendly, helpful, and intelligent people. They have 2 donkeys, 1 sheep, and a flock of about 15 grey geese. There is, however, no farm smell or horseflies. There are excellent parks and lakes less than 30 minutes from the property. Stephanie and Mark, thank you guys so much for maintaining such a top-notch vacation property!

Mount Harmony Farm is quintessential Vermont—green, peaceful, beautiful. It was fun meeting the donkeys, geese and hummingbirds, and the garden provided us with a delicious salad, complete with edible flowers. Stephanie is a thoughtful host and interesting person who’s taken care with every detail of the house. We swam in the lake at the nearby state park. And Bread and Puppet is right down the road.
