Guests consistently praise Stephanie's responsiveness, warmth, and thoughtful touches throughout
Our farmhouse was recently renovated into a serene sanctuary for our guests to rest and recharge. Over 4,500 sq ft, our home features a light-filled chef's kitchen, 5 spacious bedrooms and multiple areas for lounging and entertaining. Great for families and groups. Beautiful trails that wind through a private wooded forest. Short drive to Queechy Lake (beach access and ice skating). Close to skiing (Jiminy, Catamount, more). Quiet road and lots of privacy.
