If you're looking for a luxury hotel and are afraid of the smell of horses, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a quiet escape with beautiful nature, lots of animals (both farm animals and dogs/cats), a wonderful selection of activities in the area, and kind hospitality, then this is the place for you. The guesthouse was larger than anticipated, truly a private space with wonderful views. This is a working farm where you can learn about the trade, and some woodworking if you're interested. The family was friendly but never overbearing. We were even able to borrow the family four wheel drive car to go to dinner when our car just couldn't make it up the hill. This would be a wonderful place to stay in all seasons!

There was so much going on at the farm between the horses (even a mini horse!), chickens, ducks, and the family's 3 beagles. Our puppy played with the other dogs almost the whole time as they have an expansive fenced in backyard. The Inn is set back from Rt 2, but you can walk to quite a few places: Dunkin Donuts, Wild Oats Market, and Moonlight Diner. When we left for dinner our last night, we were planning on having our pup stay in our room until we got back, but the Inn keeper, Carolyn, generously offered let our puppy play with her beagles until we got back. The whole experience was so fun, we can't wait to go back!

I would say from the point where kiddo's can walk it is probably worth checking out this venue. I would definitely bring shoes that you aren't worried about keeping perfect; even though they do a great job of cleaning up there is still a lot of animals and a chance to get poop on your shoes. They have peacocks, chickens, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, horses. Probably the most sheep. At this point they all know the routine and no one is shy about coming over for food. Staff here does a great job, wouldn't waste my time in the gift shop.

Love it here. Free…read morecompletely free - no admission fee, no parking fee. Very friendly people. Small business vibes. Follow your maps and once you cross the bridge they have tons of signs to direct you, hard to get lost. Trust they're hours, we showed up in the pouring rain and they're still open 9am-5pm weekdays. As soon as you walk in you'll get free samples. We sampled 5 cheeses and 2 grades of maple syrup - it sells itself. One cheese is made with unpasteurized milk - others include sharp cheddar, sage, smoked. Convinced me to try traveling home with cheese for the first time. Tons of products available for sell including from other farms as well. I recommend picking up some of the Red Kite Candy caramels they have there. If you liked it as much as me their factory is about a 30 min drive away. Other activities include petting animals (not in winter), walking trail, and self guided tour of their maple house. Wasn't able to do the trail in the rain but I would estimate you can do all of this in 2 hours. Not at all like Billings Farm if you're concerned about going to both or only have time for one. Billings has an admission fee, no samples of milk or cheese though the make both. More of a museum but they do have up close interactions with their cows (even in winter) for the kids, butter churning, candle dipping. Recommend Billing for taking kids on homesteading field trip, Sugarbush a quick stop for foodie/charcuterie person IMPORTANT: They do NOT sell sugarbush products at any of the stores in Woodstock so don't plan to buy more later and have regrets like us - we looked in every store and couldn't find it. Not sure about Quechee though. Products can also be ordered online and shipped

I'm a cheese head…read more So when my friend was making our itinerary for a trip to VT, I was really excited to try this place! Weather got a little hariy getting there with the slushy roads, but we made it! It's pretty remote location with no street lights, so if driving in the dark look for the signs to get there and trust your GPS. There's a large parking lot across from the entrance to the little store/shop. The shop is actually the owners old family home I belive. We arrived pretty much at closing time, but we were still welcomed warmly. We got a cheese & maple syrup tasting which was yum and informative, and the staff member that did it was really nice, I forgot her name, but see photo below. One of the cheeses has won a cheese competition, very cool. We also got to meet the owner, but she was busy getting Christmas orders together. I perused all of the cheeses I wanted and settled on 4. We got to try 2 out of the 4 from the cheese sampling. The nice lady that checked me out even gave me some nice to-go samples as well. The smoked cheese was my fav, and the sage. But I enjoyed them all. I was able to easily fly home to TX with them due to the cold weather of the season. After the tasting, we got to peruse the store. They have so much other stuff to buy in additon to cheese and maple, tons of knick-knacks and gifts and merch. We didn't get to explore the farm after since it was pitch black when we left, too bad. Enjoy!

**November 2025: Tuesday Early Afternoon Visit**…read more For my Vermont portion of the roadtrip I really wanted to visit a maple syrup farm. I called the day before to confirm hours and inquire on potential tours and they indeed were in operation despite the cold season. We arrived around 1pm and entered the small gift shop which had their maple syrup on display in various sizes. They also sold some Vermont made Jam, homemade magnets and some other souvenirs. The shopkeeper greeted us and agreed to give us a tour and educated us about the maple syrup process. She took us out back and told us and showed us the blue pipes that transport the syrup to their backhouse which then heats it up so all the liquid dissipates. At the end of the tour we got to sample both the Medium Amber and Dark Robust syrups. My friend and I definitely preferred the Medium Amber. I bought small maple leaf shaped jars as well as the maple candy to bring in my checked bag and my friend asked if they could ship his gallon to California. This maple syrup has a more molasses taste to it and I think I'm ruined on store bought generic maple syrup lol. Overall, a fun visit!
