The Mountain Farmhouse @ Crystal Spring Farm

Just what we were looking for. Updated old post and beam farm house provided rustic charm and has been upgraded to provide comforts. Spacious remodeled kitchen and dining areas. Remodeled master suite with attached bath.Host was super communicative and took care of little issues that arose immediately.I’d stay here again!

The property & house was amazing, the perfect set up for a stress free weekend getaway. The kids aging 2-8 all loved being able to take a short walk to the farm down the road or the river! Would totally recommend and we can’t wait to make it our annual family trip!

I first want to say there was much about the house and our stay that was positive. The sun porch was what most invited us to visit and it is wonderful. We were grateful for the kind gifts of natural bug repellent and maple syrup that greeted us. The manager was helpful-especially when the code to open the door upon arrival was incorrectly provided and he was available to give the correct one right away. However, we expected three usable bedrooms and our experience was disappointing. The master bedroom downstairs has a comfortable memory foam mattress and an air conditioner. But the only open-able ventilation were double doors looking out onto a beautiful view. There was no screen door to allow it to stay open safely. The manager tried to solve the problem by installing a soft, zipper screen that was open on the bottom. We tried using duct tape to close it but it did not feel secure enough as an actual screen door would. I hope the owners install one for future guests. We used the upstairs bedroom which had a very low opening for the bathroom door and my husband (6' tall) and son banged their heads a few times. The slanted ceiling in the bathroom as well made it very uncomfortable for anyone taller than 5' 5". The two upstairs bedrooms could’ve also benefited from more screens, which we were told were around but could not find. Overall, there is much positive to be said for this rental but we would have preferred an easier experience for our vacation.

We boroughs friends from London to explore Vermont… this was a perfect base camp for the week. Beautiful grounds, beautiful farmhouse restoration… looking forward to our next visit!

We enjoyed our stay at the house. The hosts and were great. The house was very clean. We liked the quiet and peace. They have blueberry and raspberry bushes there to pick from if in season. The whole house is well stocked with things you might need like kitchen supplies. It was about 20-25 minutes to Stowe depending on traffice. It's also about 25 minutes to Craftsbury outdoor center if you cross country ski or mountain bike. Good for families or couples looking for quiet retreat.
