Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Looking for the perfect VT escape this summer or fall? Nestled in the Green Mountains on 11 private acres, this is a perfect getaway. And we are dog-friendly!

Located at the end of a quiet dirt road less than 10 minutes from the center of Chester, and just 12 minutes to Magic Mountain and 30 minutes or less to Okemo, Bromley or Stratton. Countless hiking trails, lakes, and outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking, tubing, birding, golfing, and antiquing nearby. Sleeps up to 10 people.

The space
This is a restored farmhouse with a rich history in the town of Chester. It is historic and imperfect, while also beautiful and serene. This is an 1834 farmhouse, with lots of character, antiques, uneven floors, and charm.

Meadow's End Farm was the original farm on the road and likely encompassed most of the road with farmland. Meadow's End Farm still maintains 11 acres of lawn, meadows, forest and a small pond to explore - great spaces for walking, hiking, sledding, or snowshoeing!

The home has all the modern conveniences of high-speed wifi, firesticks for TVs in 3 rooms, and a gourmet kitchen and appliances, while surrounded by beautiful wide plank floors, 12-over-12 original windows, exposed wooden ceiling beams, and an open, airy feel that is cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. There is a screened in porch to catch the breeze and read a good book with a glass of wine, an outdoor fire pit for toasting marshmallows and sitting in Adirondack chairs, and a hammock off to the side under a tree for napping or reading. Bring Fido along too, who will enjoy romping in the meadows and laying by the woodstove. Relaxation is the key word at Meadow's End Farm!

Guest access
The house is yours to enjoy! The only spaces not accessible are the basement, a few locked owner's closets and a portion of the outdoor shed. Otherwise, we hope you will relax and enjoy the space as much as we do!

Other things to note
This is a NO SMOKING property, inside and outside. Fines will be imposed if there is evidence of any cigarette or other smoking, vaping, etc. indoors or anywhere on property. This is due to the age of the home, the surrounding woodlands, and owner allergies.

We do have an alarm system that will be disabled during your stay. It is used for the periods of time when the home is unoccupied. There are sensors on all the doors, so you will hear a beep when they open, and a motion sensor (no cameras) is in the main living room that is required as part of the alarm system. The alarm system is based off of a device in the dining room. We ask that you do not unplug it please!
