The cabin is part of a small farm. We had a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains from the cabin. The cabin (second floor of a larger barn) was larger than expected and with a great kitchen. The wifi connection worked great, but the mobile phone reception was not, which was fine for us. The host was very welcoming and the stay included eggs from the farm from the hens that walked around the yard. There is a farm stand at the first floor of the cabin were the host sold delicious farm-made products such as eggs, sourdough bread, and jellies. Our kids had a great time playing at the farm, and feeding and looking at the animals. The cabin is just a few minutes drive from the town of Island pond, VT that has good services. We would love to come here again! ##### Christoffer A.

The location is great and very scenic. The cabin is very cozy and has a wonderful view. We really enjoyed the goats and the chickens. Those were the biggest chickens I have ever seen, I think. We also got to taste the eggs. Thank you, Leah! ##### Olga S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy B. 30 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely place to stay! This was a lovely apartment with a view of the hills and forest in the distance. The chickens and goats were good company in the yard! Leah and her husband are wonderful hosts. The apartment is well furnished, clean, with all conveniences you need. Close to the village at Island Pond but feels remote and quiet. I would definitely recommend Mountain View Farm to anyone traveling to the area. ##### Nancy B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Art C., Easton 2 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Country Paradise How can you not love a place where you are greeted by free-range chickens coming up to your car when you pull in and park? And the goats in their pens call out a hello as well? The host left a half-dozen of those delicious farm-fresh eggs for us, plus homemade ice cream sandwiches in the freezer. The only reason to mark this property down one notch for location is that it was out of cell range for our phones that were on AT&T and Verizon (so be forewarned if that's important to you - just unplug for a bit and relax!) but there is wifi in the unit. And it's on the second floor, up outdoor stairs, so again, if that's an issue (it wasn't for us) the traveler should consider this. The setting is lovely, the hosts are friendly, the animals entertaining, the beds are comfy, the kitchen has what you need to do some cooking, the view is outstanding. And it's a short drive into the village of Island Pond. ##### Art C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loretta P. 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable mountain hideaway Leah’s cottage was perfect for our (unfortunately) short stay. If you’re looking for a quiet escape in the beautiful Vermont mountains-this is the place. Near the small town of Island Pond/Brighton and Lake Willoughby (North Beach). The adorable baby goats and inquisitive chickens were a plus. Looking forward to another visit soon, I hope! ##### Loretta P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022
