Built circa 1860, our Rupert, VT farmhouse has been fully renovated for modern comfort while still retaining original rustic touches like original hardwood floors, a Rumford fireplace, and an antique wood-burning stove. We'd love to host your next family gathering, romantic getaway, or solo retreat! Minutes to Dorset, and Manchester. Micro-Wedding inquiries welcome!
The space
Situated just under a mile from Merck Forest & Farmland Center, a 3,200-acre estate with hiking trails and camping, White Doe Farm is a four bedroom, three bathroom farmhouse with an open-plan kitchen, living room with fireplace, front porch, back patio, and sun room. You'll find the house meticulously equipped with everything you could ever need, from bedding, towels, and slippers to cookware, toiletries, and firewood.
After cooking yourself a hearty breakfast using freshly-sourced ingredients from local purveyors, cozy up in the kitchen's breakfast nook, where you'll also find a working wood-burning stove. For formal lunches and dinners, enjoy sitting in our dramatic Burgundy dining room just off the kitchen. Take post-dinner drinks into the spacious navy sitting room, which is outfitted with plenty of cozy touches, like wide leather couches, plush blankets, and an oversized ottoman directly in front of the fireplace. A 55-inch smart TV has Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV and all the other channels you could wish for. Brand new fiber optic WiFi is provided throughout the entire house.
Bedroom 1, downstairs, has a queen-sized bed and adjoining bathroom. The other three bedrooms are upstairs, including the master, which has a king-sized bed, flat screen TV, and en-suite bathroom (complete with a rain showerhead and in-shower bench). Bedroom 3, sunny and bright, also has a queen-sized bed, while warm and cozy bedroom 4 has a full-sized bed and set of twinXL bunk beds (comfortable enough for adults). 8-10 people can sleep at White Doe Farm comfortably (or more, if the couches are utilized).
The kitchen is equipped with all the tools, appliances, and serveware you'd need to prepare a chef's quality meal at home (including a dishwasher, double fridge, coffee maker, and baking materials.) Plenty of firewood can be found on the porch.
Be sure to check out all the charming spots Dorset, VT — less than 10 minutes away by car — has to offer, including the Dorset Inn, Barrows House Inn (both lovely spots for dinner), Dorset Bakery, and Dorset Union Store. On Sundays, you don't want to miss the farmers market with local vendors selling everything from artisan-made bags to maple syrup, produce, dairy, sweets, and more. Don't forget to stop by H.N. Williams, an authentic Vermont country store, where you can pick up everything from groceries and wine to cozy country apparel and Vermont's best homemade sandwiches.
Manchester, VT — about a 15-minute drive away — is perhaps the best shopping destination in the state. In addition to outlets and flagship stores from brands like Orvis, JCrew, Ralph Lauren, and Theory, Manchester is also home to plenty of modern restaurants, locally-owned shops, and grocery stores.
