Perfect Vermont Getaway

We really enjoyed staying at this historic centrally located property. There were plenty of options for sleeping, sitting, and getting outside in the fresh air. We enjoyed looking for wildlife in the surrounding fields and walking down to the river or pond in the morning. Because of the location right near Brandon, we were able to visit a new part of the state each day and still make it back around dusk. There was no cell coverage at the house as advertised, which we were okay with, but once out on the main road we could make calls/text. We all grew up in the country so the well and septic didn't pose an issue for us and once we got up to speed on the local recycling/trash/compost rules we were good to go. The biggest issues we had really had nothing to do with the house itself but the GPS would occasionally try to bring us to the house the back way (22 miles on a dirt road through national forest in the dark...no thanks!) and we didn't realize how many stores/restaurants would be closed on Monday and Tuesday. Other than that we had a great time and highly recommend the house and a visit to Vermont in the fall!

Relaxation in the Green Mountains

We had a wonderful stay at this property recently. The location is quite lovely, along a quiet gravel road in an elevated area with amazing views. Really, it's totally worth it just to relax in the airy enclosed porch and take it all in (extra bonus when the sun comes out and warms up the stone floor of the porch!) The house had plenty of room for us, and Leslie was a very gracious host! It gives us great joy to see this beautiful Vermont historic house cared for so that it can continue to provide joy to Vermont travelers for years to come.

Charming old Vermont farmhouse

The location was great, for hiking and exploring in that corner of Vermont in mid-September. Views of the mountains were beautiful. Nearby Brandon is an interesting town with many historic houses, and a wonderful, popular restaurant: Cafe Provence. The house is larger than two people needed but plenty comfortable. It's an antique house, but with good internet.

Ideal country relaxation

Our family had a lovely week staying at this Vermont farmhouse in the midst of the Green Mountains. We walked in and immediately felt like we were home. Whether sitting in the sunroom reading, playing games in the parlor, or playing the piano from the Stephen Foster songbook in the entryway, we loved everything about this special place.

House was great

Overall Leslie's house is great! However, I will not be back again because Leslie tried to extort my group for an additional $125 cleaning fee. She contacted me repeatedly over email and text message. It required me to get in contact with VRBO, and spend many hours communicating with them and her, and put a damper on the trip. Another note -- you will have to make your own beds. When we arrived, none of the beds had linens on them.

Relaxing!

Timbertop is the most charming antique farmhouse nestled in the mountains. We had a wonderfully relaxing week and found the house welcoming and comfortable. We cooked and ate and lounged about, explored Brandon and the surrounding area. Highly recommend staying here.

Lovely, peaceful place

This was just a wonderfully peaceful place. Listening to the tree frogs, watching the fireflies, and stargazing was a great reset. My twin granddaughters enjoyed exploring the brook and picking (and eating) the blueberries. The home itself is like a trip in the way back machine to a time when things were much simpler. The wi-fi was not wonderful which made working a bit difficult and this is an old home. While I thought that was awesome, be prepared for all that goes along with that.

Scenic, peaceful getaway

Lovely old farmhouse, well equipped for cooking, and meticulously cleaned. We enjoyed hanging out together on the sun porch, walking along the old dirt road, and watching the fireflies in the evening. We did not see a moose, but hope springs eternal.

Convenient and comfortable.

Convenient and comfortable. we were very impressed with the cleanliness of this home . It was very comfortable and relaxing, and met all our needs. So much better than staying in a motel or a hotel. Directions were very convenient for everything we needed to do, at the house. We were just 10 minutes away from our friends home in Brandon, and the wedding venue in Brandon. So happy with our choice. PS also fun to stay in the old farmhouse.

Perfect Vermont getaway

We loved the feel and the amenities of this house. It was perfect for our needs: homey, kitchen well-stocked, comfortable beds, everything in good working order. The owner's instructions are thorough and helpful. The gardens and meadow are beautiful, with the hills beyond. Plenty of room outside for children and dogs to play. There are only a couple of other houses on the road, so no traffic to speak of. Very tranquil. Nearby town of Brandon has good restaurants and some shops. Many great places nearby to hike. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Beaulieu

Host profile image
As a child, I spent many happy days at this property and then my children also did. Making flower headbands in the meadows was a favorite, or hiking up the meadow for the view, travelling to many nearby waterfalls to swim. Working around my teaching schedule, we visit as often as we can!

Why they chose this property

This house was passed to me from my grandparents who owned it for over 50 years. It has provided many warm memories through the years as it continues to with our ever expanding rental family! Please add your thoughts to our guest book before you leave!

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy gorgeous meadow and mountain views from the enclosed porch off the farmers kitchen leading to the great outdoors- hiking right outside the door and the brightest stars you'll ever see!
