Awesome Stay
Stayed for the weekend to attend wedding in town. Wonderful place that had everything we needed. Had a little trouble locating the key, was attached to railing on the steps leading to the door. Called the hosts number and was immediately answered and advised where the key was located. Allowed us to check in early to get ready for the wedding. Great communication and would definitely stay again. Short trip to Okemo for those who ski and Chester is quaint little New England town. Excellent location IMO.

Great Ski house
This was a perfect location, short ride to Okemo for skiing and close to lots of restaurants. The house was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for a great stay. Lots of attention to detail by the owners, we loved all the little signs around the house. We had a great experience and would stay here again!

Vermont Weekend Getaway
We really enjoyed this property. The house was spacious, exactly as described. So many nice little touches throughout. What a comfortable and clean home. The little market across the street was perfect for what you need for a weekend without needing to head to a large grocery store. I would 100% recommend a stay here to anyone looking. Oh! And this fantastic pizza spot with live music 2 minutes away…Pizza Stone. Fantastic venue for all ages.

Historical home in the heart of town
The home is beautiful and we appreciated the laundry facilities, the spacious living room and the beds and pillows were so comfortable and inviting. We were 4 senior women traveling and would have liked curtains in the upstairs bedrooms to block the morning light and from the headlights of the cars driving down the street. Curtains would have provided a buffer for some of the road noise and would have provided extra privacy.

My family came to celebrate the ninth anniversary of my 49th Birthday and we had a wonderful time. This is a beautiful Victorian Home and well appointed. It was so nice to gather and spend some quality time in Vermont a little ahead of the leaf peeking crowds. Would highly recommend!

3-generation family bacation
We enjoyed exploring the area; the house was very spacious and nicely decorated—the beds are so comfortable! Based on the pictures, we were expecting to be able to walk down to the river at the end of the lawn, but that is not possible, it is a steep drop-off. The grocery store is literally across the street—so handy! It is on a busy road with trucks going by. We were unable to open the windows in some of the rooms. The circuits in the kitchen were tripped 3 times during our stay—perhaps the electrical system needs to be upgraded. The owners were very responsive to our questions.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review-happy to hear you had a great stay. Regarding the electrical-our home is an antique home and the electrical has been updated-during the summer months we provide 5 window units which puts a strain on things if you are running them all at the same time in addition to running dishwasher etc simultaneously. Sorry to hear anything tripped-wish you let us know and we could've provided more insight.

Authentic New England
We had a lovely stay in this very clean, nicely decorated home. I grew up in New England and can attest that this is a well restored Victorian. Many original floors, huge windows, moldings, bathrooms that function well but have an authentic feel. There is a great little market within walking distance and we enjoyed several local restaurants. This was my first house rental and I was nervous, but it all went smoothly and the communication was great with the owners.

An Amazing Home
This is a top tier home in every way. It’s perfectly equipped with everything one needs to enjoy his or her stay. The rooms are large, inviting and very comfortable. The house is kept meticulously clean. And in the dining room, one feels as though they are set back in time, enjoying the comforts of real hospitality in one of my favorite states to visit. Get to Vermont!

Quaint home in Chester
Our family so enjoyed our weekend in Chester. Our family lived in Chester for 20 years and we wanted to have a family visit. This charming Victorian was a perfect house (lovingly restored) for our family . Jennifer was a great host and communicated throughout our stay and was able to allow us to check in sooner as a snow storm came through earlier than expected . We will definitely come back!

Large house with plenty of room for friends and family
The queen beds were super comfy. The rooms were light and airy. Be aware that there are no shades on the windows so car headlights and morning sun could be an issue. We had a group over for dinner, and there was room at the dining room table for 10. The kitchen is well supplied. The house is right across the street from Smitty's Market which is fully stocked with deli and specialty items. The wood floors are beautiful so you are asked to remove your shoes at the door. The appliances are all pretty new.

This house is a combo of homey and historic. The beds are very comfy and bedrooms spacious. There is a piano (and guitar) that the kids loved to play and it is situated very close to the downtown Chester area. Would recommend for your next VT getaway!

Fine old house but noisy road.
House was a tribute to late 1800s architecture. Second time in Chester so love the area. However, due to road construction a detour made the road very busy and noisy especially in the early morning. House itself was well equipped and beds were comfy but could have used darker drapes to facilitate sleeping.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for your feedback. Luckily, the detour has been resolved. We enjoy the warmth of the natural light through the sheer curtains and this is noted in our listing. Glad you had a great stay and enjoyed our home otherwise.

Wonderful home in a classic small-town setting.
We had a great stay at this lovely, historic home with classic architectural features yet filled with modern comforts. Loved the wood floors and high ceilings and original moldings and fixtures. Visited the local town of Chester - don't miss the Southern Pie Cafe. Spent a great afternoon at Artisan Park in Windsor - the Path of Life Sculpture Garden was a surprising bonus. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Lovely old house
We rented the house (3 couples and a teenager), because we were attending a family wedding nearby. The house is really stunning: carefully preserved and tastefully decorated, with huge windows and high ceilings. The beds are comfortable, and there are little space heaters in the bedrooms. The owners responded quickly to my questions, and were unperturbed when we wanted to increase the body count from 5 to 7. Parking is tight, but there seems to be ample space on the street, on weekends. There's a well-stocked market across the street, and a charming pub with good food (MacLaomainn's) within walking distance. We would rent this house again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Large Comfortable Accomodations
My family and I all met up in Vermont for a ski weekend at Okemo and this house gave us exactly what we needed. There is plenty of space to relax after long days on the mountain and a decent kitchen to cook meals in. The kitchen has the basics but if you need anything special bring it yourself. The house is clean and well cared for with nice little details of Vermont throughout. One nice surprise was the mattresses; they were the most comfortable we'd ever slept on in a rented house. We would definitely stay here again.

All the charm and solidly built with modern comforts. Everything was perfect from the well laid out space, beds, showers and modern appliances. Plenty of historical touches to keep your imagination running through the history and lives that must have passed through these doors. Thank you for sharing with us!
