Historic Vermont Farmhouse on 12 Acres, Quaint Vermont Experience

Summer in Vermont is all green hills, farm stands, swimming holes, lake days, mountain air, and long golden evenings. Marie Hill Farm is a peaceful summer retreat set on 12+ private acres, with plenty of room to unwind, explore, and enjoy the slower rhythm of the countryside.

Come enjoy our historic farmhouse, circa 1810, located near Chester and Londonderry. Listed on the Vermont Historic Register, the home has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, comfortably sleeping up to 10 guests.

Guests are welcome to explore the farm, including apple trees, blueberries, wild blackberries, open fields, and a beautiful stream. Summer brings birdsong, wildflowers, butterflies, and frequent wildlife sightings, including deer, foxes, wild turkeys, and the occasional moose.

We’re close to classic Vermont towns with dining, breweries, shopping, antiquing, farmers markets, and local attractions: Londonderry, Chester, Weston, Springfield, Ludlow, Bellows Falls and more, all within about 25 minutes.

Magic Mountain is only 3 miles away, and so is Lowell Lake State Park, a gem for fishing, paddling, picnicking, and easy summer recreation. Marie Hill Farm is also a great home base for hiking, lake days, scenic drives, farm visits, local theater, and exploring the Green Mountains.

After a day out adventuring, come back to the quiet of the farm, cook dinner, watch the evening settle over the fields, and enjoy a peaceful Vermont summer night.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Great Ski Trip

We had a great stay at Marie Hill Farm. The farm house was as advertised with plenty of space and comfortable. Close access to Magic and Okemo. The kids loved playing in the outdoor fort! Kristen was super easy to work with. Would book again and recommend!

Sweet Farmhouse in Rural Vermont

We had a great time at the Marie Hill Farm! The cozy home was set against the backdrop of beautiful rural Vermont. We got to cozy in during two days of snowstorms, spend time with family, and just enjoy the atmosphere. The owners were so kind and responsive. I’d love to stay in the summer and check out those blueberry fields!!

Wonderful Property

Our extended family had a wonderful time at Marie Hill! The listing is accurate and the house has a comfortable feel. We had plenty of room for a group of nine. The kids loved running around the property. Communication was great with the property manager. She was great to suggest local places to visit and eat. We look forward to returning!

Close to Skiing; Comfortable; Historical

We stayed here for a ski weekend and the house is 4 minutes from Magic Mountain. It is very conveniently located. The price was so good for a house that could fit this many people that it is worth it even if the drive is a little further to other nearby attractions like Bromley and Stratton ski resorts. The beds were very comfortable and the vibe of the whole house was very homey. We only stayed 2 nights but felt right at home. Everyone slept well. The house itself is from the 1820's and is incredible to explore the property. Kristen is as good of a host there is on VRBO. Pleasant, professional and excellent communication. Thank you so much Kristen for your warm hospitality. We will definitely be in touch next ski season.

Beautiful home with amazing property

My stay at Marie Hill Farm was only 2 nights, but I could have stayed a week. The house was so clean and welcoming. Modern comforts but still kept the unbelievable old charm of the home. The king bed was super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, knives that were actually sharp and beautiful dishwear. Nice touches such as full size shampoo, conditioner, soap and a full canister of coffee made it all the more feel like home. Very quick to get a response on any questions I had. I spent a lot of time on the breezy porch on the swing and in the backyard using the fire pit and very nice gas grill. The property was great to explore. Once I navigated to the stream, my black lab loved running in and out of the water. I even got to see a moose and her newborn baby running through the neighboring property!! What a treat that was!! It was closer to a busy road than I had envisioned, but honestly after a few hours I didn’t even notice. It just meant there was more to explore in the back. Also checked out Lowell Lake State Park which was so beautiful (don’t use GPS, just go to Lowell Lake Rd 2 miles away). I will definitely look to stay again. Great home. Great area.

Beautiful spot.

We got a little lost finding the place at first but that has more to do with the fact that we were arriving late at night and had trouble with cell service. Once we arrived, it was wonderful. Great area and place to stay. Would definitely return.

Don't pass up Southern Vermont!

This modernized yet traditional VT farmhouse has all the requirements for a family vacation. The kitchen is well equipped and it is a very pleasant 5 mile drive to the well stocked and. friendly Londonderry Village Market. We enjoyed walks and picnics at nearby Lowell Lake and there are seemingly endless backroads to explore. It's not far to the attractions of Bromley Mountain or the special shopping in Weston or Manchester. At any time of the day the swing on the front porch says "vacation"!

A nice home for a getaway

Marie Hill Farm was a lovely home for our getaway to Vermont. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which accommodated our party of 6--although you could easily have 8 or 9 people and still make it work. The property manager (Kristen) was very responsive and we had no issues during our stay. The property was nice with fresh blueberries and raspberries for picking and a lot of space for our dog (it is a dog-friendly rental!) to run around. The firepit and grill were wonderful and the inclusion of things like towels, sheets, soap/shampoo, etc. made everything easier. It's an old house, so the doors and windows can be challenging and the amount of outlets or light in a room is often limited. The area is quaint and Lowell Lake is less than 10 min away, but most other places are a bit of a drive (note: we came in the summer, so it wasn't ski season). The house is right on route 11, but GPS might get confused. The sign on rt 11 definitely helped us. All and all, I'd recommend Marie Hill Farm for a relaxing chill-cation in VT.

Great for a ski weekend

My teenage children and I loved our 3-night stay at this historic farmhouse -- a great location near ski areas and a beautiful, relaxing spot to return to at the end of the day. It was bitter cold out but the comforters on the beds kept us very warm all night long. Nice to have a pet-friendly place to spend the weekend.
