The game inside the game room will change from time to time (air hockey, pool table, etc.) so please reach out if you would like confirm which game will be there.

You are more than welcome to bring your dog, we just ask that you keep him/her off furniture and beds as it’s difficult to get the hair off and please pick up outside if in trafficked areas. If you would like to bring more than one dog please just reach out for pre-approval.

Dogs visit the home on occasion so if you are allergic please take this into consideration

The house is family friendly but isn’t baby proofed.

In the family suite, you must walk through the king bed portion to get to bunk room

Due to the serine beautiful location cell service is minimal. We typically use the landline or turn on our WiFi Calling.

BBQ is stored during peak winter so that it isn't damaged

Spring and fall are ladybug season in VT and it is very common for ladybugs to gather near windows. They are NOT harmful but we like to give our renters a heads up regardless.

As expected the river water levels will fluctuate depending on rainfall, etc. There are times when it's shallower and times when it's deeper.

Family ski weekend

The house was as described plenty of space for all 11 of us. Excellent layout kids loved the video games, arcade games, pool table. We all enjoy the hot tub and cooking in the kitchen.Very close to Stratton Mountain with easy access the owners were very responsive and the kitchen had everything we needed. I brought shampoo and soap and salt and pepper, and everything was supplied very much appreciated.

A wonderful place to spend New Year's!

We loved our stay! We had a big group: two families with several college-aged kids and a couple of their friends. There was plenty of room for everyone, a big kitchen for food prep, stocked with plenty of dishware, and a large dining room table. And there was lots of spaces for people to sit and read, or puzzle, or play pool when not out on the slopes. And for runners, we really enjoyed the challenge of running "uphill", including some beautiful views near the top where the road flattened out a bit near the cemetery. We also loved West River Provisions, a store down the road in the center of Jamaica. A great stay!

Perfect

I would absolutely recommend staying here. The house is beautiful, spacious and so welcoming and warm. The location is great, private but close to town and the surrounding area. The fire pit beach area was so fun to hangout and make smores. We brought our dogs and they loved it! They had a blast in the brook and the fenced in yard area was perfect for them to run and play. Thank you for such a nice relaxing weekend, we will be back!

Definitely recommend

Our stay was fantastic! The house and property are beautiful and the location is secluded and peaceful, which is exactly what we wanted. There are so many things to do around it, so it’s the perfect home base. The property owners/managers were great communicators and recommended some really good places to visit. Weston was one of them and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend staying here!

Family get away

My family enjoyed having the space for everyone to have their own bedroom/bathroom. The property was dog friendly and our dog loved swimming in the creek and having a fenced area to lounge around in the sun. We loved all the indoor and outdoor spaces and made great memories at the property.

Another great vacation at the Pikes Falls farmhouse!

We love this location to kick-back and relax. The fenced in yard is nice for our dog Roxie. We enjoyed cooking smores over the firepit, hiking some of the local trails and spending quiet time with family and friends. Having separate bedrooms/bathrooms for each member of our group is a plus. Alex was very responsive and flexible.

Perfect Winter Getaway!

Alex and Rebecca’s VT retreat is a true gem! As a group of 12, with 3 different families including kids of all different ages, the layout of the house was ideal. Each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, with rooms to spare! There was endless entertainment for the children and plenty of cozy spots to spread out and relax in. It never felt crowded. The massage chair was a big hit for the whole family, especially after some great days at the mountain. Stratton is a quick 7 minute drive from the house, which made going back and forth throughout the day easy. The backyard and property itself is beautiful, with a babbling brook and tons of land to explore and fields of snow to play in! The kids especially enjoyed finding ladybugs in the window sills and setting them free outside. A highlight for them :) We definitely hope to make this house a yearly winter tradition for our family! Thank you for keeping such a clean, beautiful and cozy home.

Family time

This is an excellent choice for extended families who want together time as well as privacy and outdoor space for kids and space where adults can gather and play cards in the evening without waking up kids sleeping upstairs. House—a former boarding house—is generous in size and well furnished, and property is distinctive in that it's got a good sized fenced in yard great for young children and about half an acre of the property around the house is mowed, which makes for good play areas for grown-ups as well as kids. There's a river behind the house, and a great natural pool to splash in about 50 yards up river. Importantly, Alex and Rebecca were attentive hosts. We got to the property just a few days after the terrible mid-July floods that tore up the local roads, and on our first day in the house received a flyer from the Town of Jamaica warning us about another storm on the horizon and saying further damage to the roads could leave us isolated for a while. I called Alex, and he arranged for us to move out that night to a house in the nearby Stratton ski resort, and we stayed there two nights and then were able to return to the first house without worry. Excellent handyman associated with the house, so when something went wrong—a dishwasher that wouldn't drain all the way—Eddie was over in a couple of hours and fixed the problem. And if you're in the habit of getting up early, and are capable of walking quietly, you'll find deer by the river until they see you.

A great getaway!

This is a lovely old house near a river on a quiet country road. Our family and friends enjoyed quiet time, lots of games/movies, cooking out, sitting by the firepit and walking along the river. Everyone loved having their own bedroom/bathroom and our dog enjoyed splashing in the swimming hole and playing in the backyard. Hosts were very responsive and flexible. We hope to come back next year!

Tranquil escape

We found this to be a charming old house located along a gentle river. It was a perfect getaway for our family and dog. We had fun exploring neighboring towns, Stratton Ski resort, hiking to waterfalls and just hanging out by the river to swim and build sandcastles. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Family Reunion/Ski Trip

We booked this property the week between Christmas and New Year's Day for a family reunion. It is a really charming property. The house has plenty of space for multiple families to spread out and have their own space or to gather, depending on preference. All upstairs rooms have ensuite bathroom, which is a big plus. Even in winter we enjoyed the surrounding property for hikes, etc. We were able to bring two dogs - the fenced in back yard was a huge plus. Another big win is the proximity to Stratton for skiing. Getting to and from is a breeze - about 10 minutes up the road. The property manager, Alex, was very responsive and helpful. But honestly we had no issues while there, as everything went very smoothly! We'd definitely book again!

Perfect Vermont Getaway

What a beautiful home nestled in the southern Vermont mountains! Great for outdoor activities right on the property with the beautiful river and nearby hiking and skiing. House was great for a large group with lots of living areas. Kids (big and little) loved the air hockey and there’s room to spread out for games, reading, etc. Bedrooms are all well appointed and furnishings are beautiful. Having the separate bathrooms for the bedrooms was great! We had a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend and even got a little snow! Thanks Alex and Rebecca, you have a very spot!

Had a great weekend with family

This property is excellent. Easy to find and easy to access. Wonderful old new england house. Very comfortable. My favorite part is the sound of the brook that runs through the back yard. I would never get tired of waking up to that sound. We had a great time. I hope I get an opportunity to stay here again.

Wonderful property best VRBO ever.

Went to Jamaica VT for a 50th wedding anniversary party. Our entire side of the family stayed in this charming historic home. The kitchen. Had everything we needed including a center island with seating. Each upstairs rooms had quality bedding and a full bath in each room. Omg was that great. The property grounds were so much fun with rock hopping along the Stoney river to a wonderful fireplace gathering site and relaxing in the steamy hot tub. Vrbo customer since 2006.

Property is gorgeous

We had a group with kids ranging from 5-11 and adults. We all had a blast… the property is second to none. The kids spent so much time in the river behind the house, walking on rocks, baseball and nerf guns in the yard and fires and s’mores at night! Alex was super responsive when we had some weather issues and needed to check in early.

Perfect getaway for big group

We travelled here for a getaway with extended family and it was a perfect getaway. It rained our first day and we were able to stay busy with the various activities in the house. The property was remote enough to feel disconnected but you could get what you needed a short drive away. It was great to have bathrooms attached to all the rooms so each group had there own space (we had younger kids and older kids on different schedules) and we could also all convene in the kitchen, family room or outside. We would definitely recommend this property!
