A true gem in the Vermont Berkshires
The nearly 200-year old Carley Farmhouse nestled amidst the Vermont hills is a real keeper! The natural beauty of the area is stunning, and nature lovers will appreciate the bird chatter, occasional monarch butterfly, starry skies, complete with fireflies in the yard! Gather chairs around the firepit in the yard at night and enjoy it all.
Inside, there are several living areas including a small back sunporch that is a quiet retreat both during the day and at night. We didn't end up using the second floor LR.
Our host Daniel was incredibly responsive. We needed to text him a couple of times, and he never failed to respond to our inquiries within a few minutes, typically following up later to make sure things were resolved.
The house itself is a genuine antique which has been upgraded to comfortable standards. The large farmhouse table can easily accommodate 8 for meals, and card games at night.
The bedrooms all have great linens and mattresses. Bathrooms are stocked with plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash No need to bring coffee or maple syrup. It is also generously provided. Another nice touch is that BRs & common living areas have charging ports for phones and computers ~ a great convenience.
We found plenty to do during our stay ~ Tanglewood, Bennington, the Robert Frost House, and the Mills Landing swimming spot. Wilmington is a cool little town with cafés,
gift shops, galleries, and restaurants. Our family and friends loved this very special spot...
