Winter Wonderland!

Our party of 6 (3 couples) had a wonderful cozy stay and were lucky enough to get lots of snow during our visit. The radiant heat throughout the house was amazing. The open floor plan in the kitchen/dining room/living room was perfect for our needs. We hope to return soon!

Amazing home, beautiful location

We rented the house for a weekend while visiting friends in Cabot. Pictures don’t do it justice - the home is enormous and incredibly well-appointed. Everything is high-end, sparkling clean and lovely. Communication was excellent and the host even provided a welcome snack and bottle of local maple syrup. We’d love to visit again.

beautiful home in an amazing setting

We stayed here over the Christmas holiday and had a wonderful time. The house was very comfortable and there's plenty of room for everyone. The holiday decorations were such a nice touch! The house has everything you need for a great vacation - lots of space, a bathroom for each bedroom, fireplace, radiant heat and gorgeous views.Even though we visited during a cold snap with awesome snow, we still had a blast playing outside with our dog and just enjoying the quiet.Excellent communication, great stay, love the location and we're planning to return!

Winter Getaway

We had a wonderful time exploring nearby towns and sledding down the best backyard hill for sledding our son has ever had the pleasure of sledding. Perfect place for a little winter getaway. And I’d bet it’s even more gorgeous in summer.

Great week in Cabot Vermont

My family had a fabulous week at the beautiful farm in Cabot. The house is very spacious and well supplied. We appreciated the en-suite bathrooms, the two dishwashers, and the large stove and refrigerator. Plenty of dishware and cooking utensils. Having the large fenced-in area for our dogs was also great. We hope to come back next year.

Thanksgiving gathering

We needed a big house near Danville for our family/friends Thanksgiving gathering. This place worked perfectly! Great kitchen for meal prep, wonderful open plan layout for hanging out. The hosts were so helpful and gracious, putting up the Christmas tree and leaving gifts for the kids. The kids loved all the games too! Nice walks around the pond and to the covered bridge. Very comfortable beds. Highly recommended!

It doesn't get any better

We rented this property from July 1, 2023 to September 15, 2023. Coming from Florida, one can imagine how refreshing the cool mornings and pleasant daytime temperatures were. The home itself is large and well appointed. Just prior to our arrival, our Host installed a new professional gas oven. It was a pleasure to use. Actually, most of the furniture appears to be relatively new, and very comfortable. We cannot speak highly enough of our Host. She responded to every little issue we had. It's rare to meet someone as attentive and so genuinely nice. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer. The leaves are just beginning to turn and the foliage season in Vermont is truly spectacular!

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Courtney

Host profile image
We purchased our Vermont dream property, Sheepy Hollow Farm in 2022 and have been steadily making improvements. This is our happy place and we hope it becomes yours too! We have a passion for hospitality and excellent service. We hope you can see this reflected in your stay.

Why they chose this property

This location has one of the most acclaimed mountain and sunset views in Vermont. People come from the surrounding area to watch the sunset from the top of the hill at the covered bridge. However, you can enjoy this same view right from our expansive deck, with rolling meadows and our private swimming pond in the forefront. The home has been lovingly decorated to create a gracious, but comfortable experience. For history buffs, the home is adjacent to Bailey Hazen Road, which was commissioned as a military road by George Washington in 1776 and has quite a history. This section of the road is one of the last original portions remaining and is used as part of the VAST snowmobile network.

What makes this property unique

When we told a resident of Cabot that we lived in Cabot Plains, he remarked that "we live in heaven." That is truly what it feels like here. We welcome you to experience our version of Vermont heaven!
