Shocked about renting a tent for 200 a night!
Beautiful setting. Nice guests who also were staying there.
The fact that booking.com actually LIED to me and NEVER was it apparent that I was renting a TENT!!!! And I feel so stupid for not calling the folks directly!
Nice glamping spot at a lovely farmhouse
The view was nice, the farmhouse itself was very cute and the tipi was nicely put together. Common bathrooms were nice. We had a good time. We heard coyotes during our night which was pretty cool ! (A bit scary too as they seemed quite close)
The fact that the heater wasn’t included. Bathrooms are a bit far from the tents if you need to go during the night, but it is to be expected. Note: as the bistro has closed end of September, we had to drive 30min to find a good spot to eat diner. So bring your own food to enjoy the farmhouse itself :)
It was very expensive with the incredibly high sales tax and additional cleaning fee.
The unexpected long staircase up to our suite.
Wonderful cafe for dinner on location Breakfast at general store just down the road Close to Circus Smirkus camp
How to ruin your holiday
The room was infested with ladybugs and flies so we had to go away and find another accommodation during the night. A perfect example on how to steal money from tourists.
I enjoyed my stay at the Craftsbury Farmhouse very much. It was clean and quiet and a lovely property. The only drawback was not having heat in the tent-cabin and the bathroom is a bit far from the tent-cabin.
There is no cellular connection well before you reach the property. They should have emailed us directions to the property prior to our stay. We were driving in the middle of nowhere well after dark. The coffee maker is complete crap. I have made three pots of coffee that are not drinkable. It shouldn’t be this difficult. If you are 50 y/o or above and cannot hold your bladder through the night, don’t stay here. The bathrooms are shared and you will need to walk down thin squeaky stairs to use the facilities
Lovely night in an old farmhouse
Lovely stay in an old farmhouse. Our room had two comfortable chairs, a small table, a shelf full of interesting books, and a view of fields and forest. There’s no attached bath, but there are two shared bathrooms with showers downstairs and a common area with a fridge, microwave, couches, tables, purified water, and charging cables. Our room did not come with breakfast - do plan to head out in the morning - but the attached Blackbird Bistro was fantastic - tasty food, excelllent drinks, we were able to linger over our meal - and then an easy walk back up to our room. For a hotel out in the countryside, that was a major plus.
An out-of-the-way place to unwind. Very unique, with a convenient restaurant attached.
Great local place. Would definitely stay again!
It has a nice old farmhouse feel and the restaurant on site was terrific and convenient.
Definitely have the directions screenshotted in advance as there is no WiFi signal until on property. Shared bathrooms but that was outlined in advance.
The property has beautiful views and a verity of areas to lounge. I enjoyed the amount of space available for us to enjoy. We will definitely come back to stay here when visiting Vermont again!
Not as expected. Not secure!
The restaurant that was not part of the farmhouse was good, and the help they offered was invaluable in actually accessing our room.
Where do I begin? 1. They knew this was in a remote part of Vermont, yet they did not send the email with entry instructions until late morning on the day of arrival. That means we had already left, and by the time we got there, we could not access our room because we couldn't access the info. We had no cell service, no messages, and there was no one to help, so we could not get in. 2. There is no check-in person, just a board with instructions that doesn't work to call or message because there is no service! I had two different providers and not a single bar. 3. When I went around to the back restaurant to help, they couldn't really assist as they are not part of the inn, but did show me the free wifi that helped some. 4. When I finally got an entry code, I found that it worked for ALL ROOMS AND ENTRIES, so there is NO SECURITY!! Anyone can enter any room and walk in at any time. 5. We booked a room with a big bed and 2 smaller beds - but what we got was 1 bed, 1 daybed and a mattress on the floor-with no AC! 6. It was not obvious from the listing that it was a shared bathroom AND shared living area. They make it seem you get more than you really do, which I found deceptive and overpriced. 7. No towels in the bathroom for when you wash your hands. 8. There is a bubbler but no cups, no coffee, no napkins, no tissues, etc. Nothing. 9. You pay a clean up fee but are expected to strip your own beds. 10. Finally (not their fault), but if you plan on traveling in this part of Vermont, I highly recommend satellite radio, media pre-loaded to your device, or traditional media. Only 1 religious radio station comes in clearly, and if you are lucky, you might get one other station (country, classical, or talk radio only). 11. Also, if you are planning on visiting other places in the area (as I did) pay close attention to where you are going. The GPS worked on the way there but not at all on the way back! Overall, a very disappointing stay.
Cozy, great views.
Beds are super comfortable. The views and area are incredible. Fans and lights are easily available.
No electricity in the tents. Bathrooms are far away (especially at night). Tent is quite hot when the sun rises, I don't know how people would manage in the peak summer days.
The glamping tent was clean, the bed was super comfortable and it’s such a lovely setting. We sat around a fire and watched the sun set behind the hills, ate a delicious meal at the bistro and had a quiet morning in the common space writing postcards. Didn’t want to leave! Hope to visit again sometime.
Such a great property! My boys loved the creek that is nearby. Our suite was very clean and is great condition. Such a charming stay! Their restaurant was also very good. Overall a great stay!
Very good
A wonderful glamping experience! Everything is clean, comfortable, easy and the owners are super friendly/attentive. The place is fairly remote but if you’re looking for a friendly quiet getaway, I highly recommend it. Also the restaurant onsite makes the whole experience that much better!
A historic VT gem
This is a gem - a gorgeous old classic VT farmhouse restored with loving and artistic touches. Each room is unique with well chosen vintage pieces but modern style and comfort. Everything was very professionally handled. We will definitely be back!
Could be a lot better at their high price
Location near Craftsbury Outdoor Center.
Not welcoming. For the price, about $200 per night for a double room with shared bathroom and no breakfast, I expected better service. Owner is absent, never introduced herself. Apparently does not live on the premises nor employ anyone on the premises to help guests when problems arise. For example: the first room to which I was assigned was cramped and very dark. I asked for a lamp, around 6:30 pm. Finally got an answer, no lamp available, but owner will “look into it” tomorrow. Second example: no one bothered to clear the outside stairs if ice or put down salt or sand to prevent slipping on ice. Owner not there so I told the manager of the bistro in the same building. He managed to reach one of the purported owners, who said someone would fix the hazard the next morning, but not the evening I notified her of a hazard on her property. No one around to fix it! Third example: The hot water dispenser ran out of water; this could have been foreseen and prevented since five people were using it, but no one took care of that. I notified the owner, who said someone would replace the water jug but only at 9:30, which is kind of late if you want a hot drink for breakfast and there are no restaurants open nearby and no breakfast offered by the inn, so the hot water dispenser is the only game in town. A poor showing considering the high room price. On the other hand we were able to move to a better room after the first night in cramped, dark quarters. So they saved their reputation somewhat.
It’s was a great time! Loved the place and the restaurant on property was tasty!
