We love old houses, especially farmhouses, so this location was great for our New Year's Ski Trip. The house was spacious, the beds were very comfortable and the outside property was beautiful. It was close enough to Okemo where some of us skied and to Chester and Ludlow. Lots of nooks for reading or playing board games. The owners left a nice note and welcome gift and provided a few restaurant recommendations. All in all, we had a nice stay and hope to stay again.
