Easy access year around. Located on Route 100 just north of Hancock, a popular scenic route through Vermont. It is certainly not fancy or deluxe, just plain/simple accommodations for a family to enjoy. We've left as many of the original features of the home as possible. But the home is very large, and with comfortable furnishings, it is a great place for families to get together all under one roof and enjoy a vacation. Located in the heart of Ski Country just south of Granville--within 20 minutes of SugarBush, Killington, Middlebury SnoBowl. Also, ride-out to the VAST trails located across the road. Located right on Route 100 (some road noise), but easy access year round. Golfing within 5 minutes, hiking, waterfalls, kayaking, rafting, swimming, ice skating, and lots and lots of beauty all around! Fall Foliage is Gorgeous Don't miss it! High-Speed Wi-Fi Available. Washer/dryer upstairs. Also, additional kitchenette--microwave, table/chairs, dishes. Upstairs has lots of room for games/puzzles/books.

So we had private bedrooms for all. The house was a mix of rustic charm and some newer house elements. We were just there one night, so did not spend a whole lot of time at the house, but it was a perfect fit for our needs. Thanks Bethany! ##### Marc O.

We brought a group of teenagers to rave the Green Mountain Stage race. The house was perfectly situated 30min from the start of most stages. The kids loved the accommodations. It was rustic but charming and very well kept. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into how they manage everything for guests. We’ll be coming to this race annually and will be planning to stay here as long they’ll continue to have us. ##### Linda P.

We stayed at this farmhouse for our vacation and loved it! The owner was very easy to communicate with, helpful, and gave very quick responses to every one of our questions. The farmhouse itself was a ton of fun, it's very large and the kids loved exploring it and the stream right outside! It has a lot of "old house charm," really cool old windows, ceiling beams, gorgeous wood floors. It's a beautiful place. We were completely comfortable there, there were board games to play, the TV had every option we wanted and it was easy to use, and books to read. The house had every practical thing that makes vacations easy - washer/dryer, dishwasher, coffee maker and even a kitchenette upstairs which the kids loved to have breakfast in! We had a wonderful time. ##### Laura H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Michel G. 14 Oct 2015 #### Rustic? overused! The spot is picturesque, the house is as rustic as anounced but... it doesn't say that matresses, sheets are overused. And the place was not clean. Dust and spider web everywhere... We had to broom and dust furnitures in the bedroom and try to find clean sheets for our bed. There were dishes on the counter and dirty clothes in the sink. ##### Michel G. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2015 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachael C. 30 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Had its pros & cons Pros: Responsive property manager Square footage overall - plenty of room to spread out Fire pit area and dry wood Clean kitchen Charming older home: we used to live in one older than this and understand their value. The woods and brook were lovely with hiking trails a short drive away Cons: Showers- uncomfortable for anyone on the tall side. One was enclosed in 360 degrees of close-fitting shower curtain which featured a heavy layer of soap scum. Adults had no choice but to be in contact with it. Water pressure is low; it’s also hard water. Beds: Adults changed beds during the stay but did not find ones they were comfortable on but maybe that’s just us? If you want the beds made in anticipation of your arrival, ask in advance. We didn’t and it led to some problems involving waking up a child who collapsed into a bed while we unloaded the car. Budget 30 min of your time to complete the requested cleaning. ##### Rachael C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jed K. 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good spot but needs some updating This is my second time renting this property for the Green Mountain Stage Race, and overall, it’s a convenient spot, close to everything we need over Memorial Day Weekend. The positives: -Plenty of bedrooms to accommodate our group of teenagers and coaches. -Modest but functional kitchen with most essentials (the stove and oven work well, the fridge is spacious and clean, and the coffee maker gets the job done). -Large common area with comfortable seating for everyone to gather around the TV. The areas for improvement: -The downstairs bathroom toilet is in bad shape; the tank is loose and feels like it’s going to fall off. -The downstairs shower curtain really needs to be replaced—it’s in poor condition. -The kitchen could use a few more good-quality pans for cooking. -The house was very dusty, with cobwebs in multiple areas. We all felt the impact of the dust. If a cleaning fee is charged, the house should be spotless upon arrival. -While the location is nice, the driveway exit is hazardous due to cars speeding over a blind hill. Even following the recommendation to "listen" for cars didn’t help, as a Tesla came speeding over the hill on Sunday evening. I’ve rented several properties in the area and returned to this one for its convenience, but unless there are some updates, we may need to look elsewhere for 2025. ##### Jed K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Isabel M. 28 Nov 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Not what I paid for or expected This has to be the worst place we have ever stayed at. It says old farm charm . Not how I would describe it. The love seat in the living room was broken , covered with pillow la to hide the fact that it was broken, the house smelled like it had not been cleaned in years . The water pressure, was complete nonexistent. The beds upstairs and the floors were full of dead flies, the windows were full of cobwebs, the storm door in the front had half a panel the other half was missing , the ( patio ) and I use the term very loosely, was disgusting, dirty the door is broken with half crap piece of plywood to hold it together , a trash can lid full of cigarette butts . I have pictures of all of this . The front of the house ?? The picture that is posted is not the way it actually is . The weeds in front of the house ?. My dogs came home with fleas . I took pictures of everything. I expect at least half of what paid for to be reimbursed back to me . ##### Isabel M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin L. 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great weekend - generous housing The Hancock house is old ... really old! But do not be fooled by battered siding under neatly painted exterior: this place has been lovingly restored with updates where it matters: fantastic old floorboards & exposed beams adjoin full bathrooms \[2\], efficient kitchen & laundry, many screened windows w/clever locks allowing them to be part open but still secured against intrusion \[& you can hear the brook outside tumbling over the rocks\]. Ample room for an active sociable group or families. Three bedrooms upstairs are private to sleep up to 11 depending on arrangements while downstairs offers two more bedrooms convenient for those that find stairs troublesome. Comfortable living room with tv lounging furniture, big diningroom table great to sit around & talk, kitchen table downstairs as well, mini-kitchen space repeated upstairs, not to mention a smaller entry parlor with another tv, a 4-season small patio and a beautiful back yard bordered by woodland. Furnace works quickly when needed, ample hot water, ample clean linens and china, working wifi \[which you will need\], clear guest house directions. Semi-cons: 40 minutes from Randolph Center where our event was \[but close to Rochester which is a pretty little town\]; parking max 4 cars w/careful space management; as warned VT Rte100 is fast travelled - driveway is invisible from both directions though "hidden drive" warnings are duly posted so care is needed exiting.

Large comfortable space, with lots of room for everyone. Older home, great place with lots of room. Only draw back is driveway and road traffic, but nothing that was not disclosed in listing. About a 40 minute trip to Norwich University. Would definitely stay agin. ##### Jennifer C.

Turned out that only two of us stayed for four nights. Manager was good. Place is large. It all worked well. Our two beds weren’t very comfortable but there were so many others we could have switched. Entering and exiting driveway was tricky due to high speed traffic from the north coming up over a hill. But warnings by the manager were helpful. ##### Thomas E B.

We were in VT for the Green Mountain Stage Race, an annual multiday bike race in and around the Mad River Valley. This property was situated in the middle of 3 of the 4 race days and was the perfect home for our kids and coaches. The bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed, the kitchen well-stocked with most of what we needed, and the grounds were lovely. BEWARE, the house sits atop a hill that blinds the driveway from the road and cars race up and road Rt 100, making our daily departure a bit of a nail-biter. Aside from that, great house. ##### Jed K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022
