Farmstay holiday rentals in Saco River

Visited Feb '25 Steep stairs {a delightful New England quirk} lead to a comfortable bed, quaint views out the window. Soft cottage core vibes. Eclectic design steeping in a life well lived. Wonderful kitchen, well stocked and easy to cook in. Shower pressure is adequate. Bathroom is clean and filled with an array of books and tchotchkes. Your eyes always have something to wander and examine. It's a maximalists dream. The book shelf in the living room is filled with old books some titles are expected due to surroundings and some are just plain fun. May I recommend a game of I spy Nina is quite fantastic. A spit fire. An attentive host. Hospitable and kind. She gave it a welcoming vibe. Meeting her animals was truthfully a highlight. They are even tempered and kind. Her horse is stunning & social. The donkey a goof. The mule is oh so friendly. Sheep a bit shy but non the less beautiful. Chickens? fluffy feet! The ducks were personable. The goats, joyful. Cat, adorable. Good workin dogs.

We loved our stay and hope to come back again!

Our stay was incredible! The view by the stream was amazing, everything was so peaceful and perfect. Inside the cabin was exactly what we expected, very homey, everything we needed. We loved the walls lined with books! Kevin was very attentive towards what we needed - it stormed all day Saturday and he brought a second heater for us because the temperature dropped, which with that and the gas fireplace, kept the place perfectly warm and comfortable. He was also very accommodating in allowing us to stay an extra night since our plans of hiking all weekend were thwarted by the rain. We went for my husband's 40th birthday and i couldn't have picked a better place to get away from the stress of life. We plan on going back for sure!

I’ve returned to the Vermont Botanical studio on an annual basis for several years, since I always find it peaceful and comfortable—off the beaten path, but not lonely. It has everything I need, including a dirt road through the fields for a daily walk, tall windows looking out on lovely trees, a very healthy songbird population, and a nearby farm store where I always go to buy cheese as soon as I arrive. I especially appreciate the comfortable bed, reading chair and couch, and the perfectly serviceable kitchen. The induction range makes for very quick cooking, and it’s nice to have the use of a full-sized fridge, too. For my writing retreats, the studio feels like a home away from home.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. Gail and her husband were the nicest hosts. We had some great chats. The area is absolutely beautiful and peaceful.

We had a wonderful time staying here. Very quiet, beautiful light at dawn and dusk with open views. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen is really easy to cook in. We felt right at home!

Amy was the perfect host and her place was beautiful! We located this place as it was near an event we were attending and we would not have to drive after the event. What a pleasant surprise. Exactly what we were looking for and we would highly recommend!

My family & I loved our stay here! A very beautiful & comfortable home. It was a very peaceful, yet fun couple of days spent. Exactly how I wanted to spend my birthday. Location was perfect to explore. Thanks for having us!

My husband and I stayed in National at 1854 House and we loved it! It was exactly as described, and Sarah was a terrific host. Everything was very clean, she was quick to respond, left detailed instructions about all the unit had to offer, and even gave us some local recommendations. The bed was comfortable, the view was great, and the swing in the living room was a wonderful extra touch. The location was perfect for exploring all of northern Vermont. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We would absolutely stay in National again. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful and quiet. Surrounded by bright green grass and Vermont crisp air. Cabin was perfect!!

This beautiful place, surrounded by stunning natural scenery, is an amazing vacation spot and the perfect getaway for families. It offers plenty of amenities for cooking, having fun, and even a special spot to roast marshmallows.💯

We stayed here a few times now and is a Great place to stay… awesome place for family vacation and definitely for short work trips. Close to everything and will recommend to anyone for sure. The owners are great people! Thank you everything!!

Lenore's place was very cozy. We felt right at home. We added guests (including a dog) after initially making our reservation and it was no problem with the host. Just a note, it costs a fee to add more guests on Airbnb. Overall our stay was lovely and our hosts were very nice, responsive, and welcoming. 10/10, would recommend.

Great stay! The place was clean, quiet, and in a very central location. Helena was responsive and made everything easy. Would definitely recommend.

Ravenwood is the perfect get away. From the cabin construction, attention to detail, rustic decor, the surrounding farm area and gracious hosts. All around five stars!

It was a great stay! The place was so spacious and peaceful. Brad was quick to respond and really helpful. If I were to come back here, I’d definitely stay here again. A great experience 10/10 recommend!

We had a wonderful vacation. The cabin is a true gem in the North East Kingdom. Upon entering the house, fresh flowers decorated the rooms and we found a basket of snacks for us and our dog. Leslie and Matt’s passion for decorating made the house cozy and inviting. The grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed walking through the garden, relaxing on the deck, and walking to the river. The food shopping service Leslie and Matt offer is an added bonus. The cabin is also in a perfect location. There are many great hikes and restaurants close by. The North East Kingdom truly delivered with its scenic woods, spectacular summit views, and gorgeous waterfalls. Plus every meal was amazing. Thank you for your hospitality and making our vacation this year a memorable one! You both were responsive, friendly, and such a help before and during our stay. This vacation was exactly what we hoped for: a relaxing retreat among the trees. I wish we lived closer because I’d be back every year.

Spent a beautiful weekend at this cottage. The property is beautiful. Lovely to hear the birds and view the gardens. It rained most of our trip but we didn’t mind because it was so restorative to hunker down and relax here. Well stocked kitchen. Nice bedding. Close to Brattleboro and easy access to hiking/farms etc. Kathleen was the perfect amount available. We’re sorry we didn’t get to meet you in person!

Our stay at 1800BC (The Bear Cabin @ Moose Lodge) was awesome!!! We are a family of four with a dog that loves to travel New England for family adventures. The Bear Cabin met all of our expectations and we had a beautiful time skiing at Bretton Woods. This was a special cabin with beautiful woodwork, an awesome wood stove, plenty of space and a superb location. Just a short drive to Bretton Woods (2mns) and close to several to several restaurants on Rt 302 as well. There is Bretton Woods Market and Deli just down the road that can meet most needs as well. If you are a skiing family and want a peaceful yet close proximity to a cool mountain...The Bear Cabin is for you.

The house was beautiful. The walk down to the dock was also wonderful, the lake is beautiful. We really enjoyed the hot tub as well!

We loved spending our time in Vermont at Bonnie’s place! The house had everything we needed and Bonnie was a great and responsive host. The horses next door were such a treat for our kids to see and the views were beautiful.

I was fortunate enough to spend a very life changing trip here. Words can’t express my gratitude.❤️🥹🙏

Our third time staying at the farm and it truly only gets better and better every time. This place is absolutely gorgeous, pictures really don’t do it justice. The house is so adorable and clean not to mention Frankie and Vin pay insane attention to detail and have thought of literally every single thing you might need during your stay and are just some of the all around best people. There’s so much to do weather you go out and explore the property stopping to say hello to the animals and give them treats, hike the near by trails, or simply just staying in playing games and listening to music on the record player you can’t go wrong staying at Frankie and Vins!

Beautiful home, incredible convenience of being able to walk down a trail to the market and cafe for everything you could possibly need (and then some!) and such picturesque surroundings -- including trails on their property along with Wagon Hill Farm across the street. This property is perfection!
