Best Place Ever!
This was my 2nd visit. The first was during the darkest days of the pandemic. My husband and I went with another couple. Perfect place...2 full bathrooms, LOTS of space inside and out. Huge screened porch with comfortable chairs and coffee tables, overlooking the lake. Both couples brought canoes and we spent 3 days exploring rivers that run into Lake Memphramagog and also the immense lake itself! This time, we booked for the eclipse. There were 7 of us the first night, and 9 the next two days. The house is stocked with everything you need for a wonderful holiday...washer/dryer, towels, bed linens, cooking equipment. The front porch was very useful to store all the extra things that we brought, so there was no clutter inside. And Yvette is a marvelous person. We will be coming back soon!

Memphremagog Winter Swim Festival
A group of 6 of us stayed at the farmhouse for the winter swim fest in town. It was the perfect spot - lovely home, kitchen with everything that we needed, and many thoughtful touches around the home. Owner was easy to communicate with and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Spacious and relaxing
We loved it! There is a lot of space, and many little areas where people can be by themselves: nice when vacationing with teenagers. We rented kayaks from the owners and that worked out really well: the lake is quiet here with lots of wildlife. Note that there is no lake access straight down the lawn but there is a good path to the water next to it. The owners are terrific and nearby. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect stay for a relax and simple vacation
The house was super clean and ready for our family reunion. town is close by and even has a healthy food store where we could find local organic produce. We got duck eggs at the farmer market (2 times a week). The proximity with the province of Quebec allowed our familly to come down and visit for a few days. We also rented a tandem kayak from our hosts. We had a great time. thanks!

Great vacation house!
This house had everything for a great family vacation! We had plenty of wood for campfires, forks to roast marshmallows, corn hole game, indoor games to play, and it was even stocked with movies. Very clean house and Yvette was a joy to communicate with. We also enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning on the screened in porch and listening to nature.

A nice farm house for a family
We had a wonderful 10 night stay at this property with our crew of 2 adults and 5 children. The view of the south bay of Lake Memphremagog was lovely. The screened in porch protected us from the mosquitos that are typical for this region in summer. The hosts delivered a well-kept property with lots of thoughtful touches, like a high chair and children safety gates for our toddler. Additionally there were board games and streaming channels to keep the kids entertained inside. The kitchen had everything we needed, a ice maker was a great accessory for enjoying cool drinks. The fridge while small compared to our home fridge had plenty of room to keep our week of groceries. Vista was the closest grocery, but there are also a few other options around. We enjoyed the grill when we made steaks a couple nights. We enjoyed the fire pit areas where the hosts provided firewood for our evening outside. Bring or buy insect repellent and use the provided citronella candles to help control the insects. Most nights it was pleasant enough without air conditioning and just fans and opening windows at the right times to bring in the temperate weather. Only one night did I wish the A/C unit was installed. We were in the area to visit family and participate in a memorial service, but we also took a day to show our California kids the coast of Maine and on Friday we checked out the water park at Jay Peak, a fun diversion for 2-3 hours. We would recommend this home and would stay again.

Loved the property. Charming, quaint and absolutely lovely. Yvette was helpful and warmly welcoming. Plenty of room and lot’s of places to gather, relax, enjoy sunrises and a great fire pit for evening storytelling! We used it as a base from which to sightsee and explore Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. We stayed around the house quite a bit because it was so beautiful and comfortable.

Lovely farm house
We had a wonderful time at the farm house. The large screened in porch was great since we happened to stay during some warm and humid weather. The large yard was great for many games and just relaxing. We didn't have any campfires due to the heat but the fire pit looked inviting. The house is big and has a great kitchen.

Peaceful area with scenic views
Very private and clean farmhouse. It was the perfect spot for a family gathering of outdoor enthusiasts. When we weren't out kayaking, hiking, or biking in the area, we enjoyed yard games that were part of the house amenities. The view of the lake from the screened in porch and outdoor fire pit, were an added bonus. Owner was very helpful in supplying guide books for hikes and paddles. We hope to return when the border to Canada opens to tourists again so we can explore new territory.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the farmhouse. It was spacious, immaculate and everything was just as described. The view and lake access were fabulous! The enormous yard was wonderful for our toddler to run around. We tremendously enjoyed the screened in porch and the fire pit. Yvette couldn't have been a more accommodating hostess. When she learned that the baby gate that she had left for us wasn't working, she dropped off a new one within hours! Thank you for everything!

A perfect fall weekend!
What a lovely home to stay in for such a perfect week. Yvette’s home was so clean and inviting. Everything was perfect! We could not have asked for a more comfortable place to stay at while we enjoyed Newport and the surrounding Northern Kingdom. We kayaked and canoed off of her property. Enjoyed breakfasts and the scenery off her back porch. Biking and hiking in the surrounding area was wonderful. We would come back in a heartbeat! We also wanted to share that Yvette’s efforts to clean the home and keep it especially safe during COVID were noticed and appreciated. We hope to visit again.

If you are looking for a relaxing place, this is it! My friends and I spent a long weekend cooking, kayaking, sitting by the fire and enjoying the beautiful location. This house is a bit off the beaten path, but only a 5 minute drive to downtown Newport, so it has the best of both worlds. It features comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen and the screen porch was where we spent much of our time. The fire pit was wonderful for our early fall evenings and Yvette is easy to work with.

We stayed for a week-long getaway. Best parts were watching the stars at night by the fire pit, kayaking on the lake, long leisurely mornings with coffee on the screened in porch, exploring the NEK. Owners were friendly. Only 8m to downtown Newport; although there isn’t much there, we enjoyed the farmer’s market and Thai restaurant. Overall it was exactly what we were looking for.

After excellent communications from Yvette prior to our arrival, it was not surprising to find a very clean, spacious property with everything we needed to enjoy a week of cooking together, singing around the outdoor fire ring, and enjoying the lake access to launch our canoe!

Winter in the in the Northern Kingdom
We skied at Jay Peak. We found the house at Newport very inviting and tidy. It reminded me of my grandmother's house 70 years ago. But, the Newport house is much more comfortable. Our stay was very wintery. Snow, cold and ice which is something that I have not seen much of this year near Boston..
