A perfect escape

My family (my husband and I, our kids aged 5 and 9, and our dog) stayed at Mark and Mary's house in June 2020, and we could not have had a more special, wonderful time. The property is gorgeous, and we and the kids had a great time swimming in the pond and exploring the trails. The home is lovely and was equipped with everything we needed. Mark and Mary were very communicative and helpful. We hope to stay here again very soon.

Timeless, special property

We had a WONDERFUL stay at the McGrath's home even and in spite of historic flooding in our brave little state. The house is comfortable, spacious, and also cozy. Their spot in Greensboro is just what we love- like stepping back in time. We hiked on the land, swam in the pond, and biked the dirt roads. There are fabulous swimming spots nearby, plenty of farms for eating the freshest meals, and opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and relax. We will be back!

Tranquility in charming home

We spent 1 week in June '22 visiting this property. We enjoyed the rural location and still having proximity to 4-5 good restaurants within 20 minutes drive. The farm itself is stunning with large meadows and hiking trails, as well as a picturesque pond adjacent to the main house. Two welcome surprises were the golf & tennis club in Greensboro which we visited daily and the highly regarded Hill Farmstand craft brewery that is just half a mile up the street. The owners, Mark & Mary, were incredibly good at communicating with us before and during our stay, and very helpful with suggestions for activities.

Utter tranquility

We loved staying at Mark and Mary’s incredible property and it gave us exactly what we were looking for in the NEK of Vermont: long walks in the morning on the private trails from our door, then lazy afternoons on our paddle boards on the private pond and reading and games during the evening. The house was well stocked and maintained and Mark and Mary were very helpful giving us information on the area. We loved looking through their very extensive book collection and kids enjoyed the board games. The large pond was stunning and just so special to have access to our own pond. It made it so easy for our kids to paddle board on their own whenever they wanted and they loved jumping in multiple times a day. It was utter tranquility and exactly what we were looking for!

A great place for a family get-together.

We arrived the 2nd week of October to a jaw-dropping beautiful property in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The comfortably sprawling farmhouse was nicely updated and yet the charm of the 1830’s homestead was evident throughout, with its old wooden hewn beams and wide plank maple floors that literally “glowed” in the sunny rooms. A panorama of maple trees in fall colors, the pond, the forests, and the bright green fields was breathtaking. Mark and Mary were the perfect hosts. I don’t know what more anyone could ask than coming “home” to relax on the deck, or drink hot apple cider by the wood burning stove after hiking through these stunning forests and fields. This is a perfect spot for a family get together! Our 2 sons and their wives, and two young grandchildren loved their stay. If an inviting, nostalgic home, surrounded by acres and acres of beautiful nature is your thing, then it doesn’t get any better than this!

Fantastic stay in Greensboro

We loved our stay in Greensboro! We had to book last minute, and the hosts were responsive right away and gave us clear communication so we never felt like we were missing any details. They went to the house ahead of time to ensure it was set up for us, and they even put a crib up for our daughter and set out a baby gate and high chair for us to use. It felt like we were visiting a friend! Our stay was nothing short of incredible. We were able to witness the eclipse in totality in the field next to the house and it will be a moment we'll always remember. The house was so comfortable and perfect for our needs. Plenty of space!!! There isn't a single complaint to be made. Mark and Mary were in constant communication with us to ensure that we were having a great stay and that all of our needs were met, which was so appreciated since we were travelling 8+ hours with a baby. They also gave us great recommendations for local spots to check out! I can't imagine ever staying somewhere else now!

Hello Abbey and Travis, Thanks for the wonderful review. We also appreciated your letting us know when the ice went out of the pond, which should now stay open with its abundant wildlife until about mid November or so. We very much enjoyed having you stay at our Greensboro home, and look forward to your return. Best regards, Mark and Mary

heavenly property!!

The house is a somewhat sprawling, quintessential 1800s vermont farmhouse. The interior is spacious, and has everything you need. But...its the property...that was jaw dropping beautiful. the photos do not do it justice....beautiful rolling green hills, fields, a stunning pond, flower beds, a beautiful, old barns, woodsheds, huge mature trees...its all like something out of a novel. It is remote, but not too far from the small "center of town". But if you want to really experience beautiful old-world rural Vermont. This is the way to go!!! sitting on the back porch, enjoying the pond...in one half hour span of time, a humming bird, a blue heron, and a moose all came right on to the property...it was a lovely way to spend time, drinking your coffee! Also, must mention in particular, the owners of this property were extremely responsive, generous, communicative, kind and helpful. I got answers to questions almost right away. they had helpful advice, and truly love their property and are happy to share the joy of this beautiful space....

Delightful hosts, house, woods and trails

We arrived during a blizzard, and didn't touch the car for the rest of the week. A wonderful home, warm, cozy, and spacious-- well-maintained while preserving the comfortable feel of an old farmhouse. Snowshoed directly from the door every day. Filled with books, and great places to read, good lighting, multiple desks, views of the outdoors from every room. The house, and surrounding lands have been lovingly cared for. Woods and fields beckon. And Mark and Mary could not have been more welcoming.

Cozy, Private Retreat in the Northeast Kingdom, Vermont

My wife and I spent a very peaceful week at the property in late February. We were able to enjoy some cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the expansive property. Having an entire 450 acres of rolling hills, wood lots, and beautiful vistas entirely to ourselves was quite a luxury! The home itself is spacious with lots of quiet areas in which to relax. If you are looking to get away from the 'hustle and bustle', this is a great place to do it! We will visit again when the opportunity arises.

Family in Vermont

My daughter and my grandchildren wanted to see Vermont. I chose this location and it was an excellent choice. The house was roomy and the setting was beautiful. We had access to all the types of adventures the family wanted and some days we just stayed "home" and enjoyed the peaceful setting and walked the property. The owners are great about communicating. The house was well stocked with all things we needed. We hope to return.

Wonderful property.

Spent a week here with 3 adult children, there significant others and our dog. Every room was comfortable and the grounds are amazing. Very well maintained yards full of flowers and the pond great for cooling off after wonderful walks thru fields and woods to a vista with the most beautiful view. We were concerned about having to quarantine due to covid and honestly had no desire to leave the property. Packed tons of food and the kitchen is well equipped. Can't say enough about how wonderful Mark and Mary's home is.

Winter Wonderland

We stayed for 2 weeks in the middle of the winter to take advantage of nearby Nordic skiing. We had loads of beautiful snow, and could snowshoe on the property if we didn't feel like driving to the ski center. Several friends spent time with us and had plenty of space and privacy. I can only imagine how wonderful it is in the summertime!

Lovely rural getaway

We enjoyed staying in Mark and Mary's beautiful, comfortable house on a gorgeous forested plot of land. The Hill Farmstead brewery is right around the corner, and there are quaint farms nearby as well. We stayed three days, which was a good amount of time, but if I had to choose again I would go during the summer when there are more local activities, or during the fall when the leaves change, and stay longer .

Thanks, Karry, for your review. We too are sorry you couldn't stay longer, and hope you return next summer or fall. But consider the winter, too. We generally get a lot of snow, and the landscape becomes a winter wonderland, visible from the cozy house, with its 5 heating zones and wood stove. There is cross-country skiing nearby, and sleds in our woodshed for sliding.
