5/2 Old Farmhome-Beautiful Valley Views-Near Skiing-Sugarbush
Our large and lovely old 1880 two-story farmhouse is beautifully situated on 4 acres with a babbling brook and backs up to the Green Mountain National Forest. Easy access year around. Located on Route 100 just north of Hancock, a popular scenic route through Vermont.
It is certainly not fancy or deluxe, just plain/simple accommodations for a family to enjoy. We've left as many of the original features of the home as possible. But the home is very large, and with comfortable furnishings, it is a great place for families to get together all under one roof and enjoy a vacation.
Located in the heart of Ski Country just south of Granville--within 20 minutes of SugarBush, Killington, Middlebury SnoBowl. Also, ride-out to the VAST trails located across the road. Located right on Route 100 (some road noise), but easy access year round.
Golfing within 5 minutes, hiking, waterfalls, kayaking, rafting, swimming, ice skating, and lots and lots of beauty all around!
Upstairs has lots of room for games/puzzles/books.
We are located on a main road, so there will be road noise, and extra care is needed when exiting driveway to listen and look before pulling onto highway.

The house was very nice and fit our big group easily! The only thing we didn’t like about the house was there were a lot of flies. They were everywhere in the bedrooms, the kitchen, and living room
We loved staying in this beautifully restored old farmhouse that is full of charm and character. The location is beautiful, right along rte 100. The owners were very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Cool old farm house with an old fashioned set-up. Good value for the money considering how many people the house sleeps. Bathrooms are updated, kitchen is from the 80s. Furniture is outdated and ready to be replaced. Beds were very soft, not supportive.
Loved our stay at this charming house. It would suit nice for a small group. We found everything we needed to cook at the house. The area is beautiful. We rented in the late spring, and the views were beautiful. We are considering coming here again to see the autumn foliage. We are not skiers, but this home sits close to the ski resorts.
Home was perfect for our group of 8 friends + a pup to spread out and have a home base for skiing sugarloaf. Looks larger than photos and had a great kitchen for cooking a group meal. A bit far from the mountain but gorgeous drive there and back. Highly recommend!
Myself and several colleagues stayed here while attending Board meetings a few towns over. Bethany made the experience great and easy, and we appreciated the size, cleanliness, and accessibility of the property.
We were a mixed group, one family of 4 and two additional adults. So we had private bedrooms for all. The house was a mix of rustic charm and some newer house elements. We were just there one night, so did not spend a whole lot of time at the house, but it was a perfect fit for our needs. Thanks Bethany!
The home setting was as described. No issues with anything in the home. Only negative is the driveway is on a curve in the road that is travelled above the posted speed. The owner made us aware & we used caution entering/leaving. Very happy with our stay.
It was the perfect location for us. We brought a group of teenagers to rave the Green Mountain Stage race. The house was perfectly situated 30min from the start of most stages.
The kids loved the accommodations. It was rustic but charming and very well kept. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into how they manage everything for guests.
We’ll be coming to this race annually and will be planning to stay here as long they’ll continue to have us.
We stayed at this farmhouse for our vacation and loved it!
The owner was very easy to communicate with, helpful, and gave very quick responses to every one of our questions.
The farmhouse itself was a ton of fun, it's very large and the kids loved exploring it and the stream right outside! It has a lot of "old house charm," really cool old windows, ceiling beams, gorgeous wood floors. It's a beautiful place.
We were completely comfortable there, there were board games to play, the TV had every option we wanted and it was easy to use, and books to read. The house had every practical thing that makes vacations easy - washer/dryer, dishwasher, coffee maker and even a kitchenette upstairs which the kids loved to have breakfast in!
We had a wonderful time.

Rustic? overused!
The spot is picturesque, the house is as rustic as anounced but... it doesn't say that matresses, sheets are overused.
And the place was not clean. Dust and spider web everywhere... We had to broom and dust furnitures in the bedroom and try to find clean sheets for our bed.
There were dishes on the counter and dirty clothes in the sink.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
I am highly disturbed as the untruth comments made by guest regarding cleanliness of our vacation home. As you can see from our other reviews, these statements cannot be accurate or truthful.
Most of our guests are repeat guests because they find our home clean and comfortable and a great place to spend time with friends and family.
The first untruth stated in the above review is the date of stay -- date of actual reservation was not Oct 1st. We did not have any guest for that date. This guest came a day or so later.
Yes, our home is rustic, as stated, and there may be a web found, due to it being an older home it is impossible to notice and remove every web, but extreme effort is made to make sure webs are removed.
There was NOT dirty dishes in the kitchen and there was NOT dirty clothes in the sink. That is entirely untrue and false. This can be verified by my housekeeper and my caretaker, both whom live nearby and take care of all cleaning and repairs. Plus, as my Rental Agreement states, if, upon arrival, any issues are found then the guests are to notify me immediately. This guest never notified me of any issues at all.
The reason this guest left this type of review is because he was upset with Owner prior to arrival, because after making the reservation and paying for reservation, then one day prior to arrival he tried to change dates and drop dates and get refunds not due, which was clearly stated in our Rental Agreement and online profile. This Guest is just retaliating because he did not get refunds he was not entitled to, and so he is making untrue and false statements.
It is unfortunate that a guest such as him is allowed to make such untrue statements and cause problems to owners just because he is upset at not getting undue refunds.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Had its pros & cons
Pros:
Responsive property manager
Square footage overall - plenty of room to spread out
Fire pit area and dry wood
Clean kitchen
Charming older home: we used to live in one older than this and understand their value.
The woods and brook were lovely with hiking trails a short drive away
Cons:
Showers- uncomfortable for anyone on the tall side. One was enclosed in 360 degrees of close-fitting shower curtain which featured a heavy layer of soap scum. Adults had no choice but to be in contact with it. Water pressure is low; it’s also hard water.
Beds: Adults changed beds during the stay but did not find ones they were comfortable on but maybe that’s just us? If you want the beds made in anticipation of your arrival, ask in advance. We didn’t and it led to some problems involving waking up a child who collapsed into a bed while we unloaded the car.
Budget 30 min of your time to complete the requested cleaning.
The Hancock house is old ... really old! But do not be fooled by battered siding under neatly painted exterior: this place has been lovingly restored with updates where it matters: fantastic old floorboards & exposed beams adjoin full bathrooms [2], efficient kitchen & laundry, many screened windows w/clever locks allowing them to be part open but still secured against intrusion [& you can hear the brook outside tumbling over the rocks]. Ample room for an active sociable group or families. Three bedrooms upstairs are private to sleep up to 11 depending on arrangements while downstairs offers two more bedrooms convenient for those that find stairs troublesome. Comfortable living room with tv lounging furniture, big diningroom table great to sit around & talk, kitchen table downstairs as well, mini-kitchen space repeated upstairs, not to mention a smaller entry parlor with another tv, a 4-season small patio and a beautiful back yard bordered by woodland. Furnace works quickly when needed, ample hot water, ample clean linens and china, working wifi [which you will need], clear guest house directions.
Semi-cons: 40 minutes from Randolph Center where our event was [but close to Rochester which is a pretty little town]; parking max 4 cars w/careful space management; as warned VT Rte100 is fast travelled - driveway is invisible from both directions though "hidden drive" warnings are duly posted so care is needed exiting. Great host communication!

About the host
Hosted by Bethany Mousadi, Owner/Manager
We are the Mousadi Family of 5. We love skiing in Vermont! We found our vacation home, and fell in love with it immediatelly--from the babbling brook beside the home, to the wide-board hardwood floors, the spacious room, to the great location to sereral of the best skiing areas in Vermont! Fall foliage is beautiful, too! And the spring and summers bring beauty and delight!
Why they chose this property
Being from Vermont, Bethany always was back visiting relatives throughout the years. After getting married and having children, Alex and Bethany wanted to not only visit Vermont to see family, but have a vacation home to feel comfortable in and enjoy vacationing in Vermont. This home fit the bill--and because they don't vacation full-time, they've made it available for others to enjoy!
What makes this property unique
The benefits of this home are that it is right in the heart of Vermont activities--from cross-country skiing nearby, golf courses, snow skiing, VAST snowmobile trails right out the front door, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and other tourist favorites to enjoy, are only a beginning. Then the home itself is right on Route 100, easy access year around. It is large and comfortable, great for families who want to stay in the same home--there is room for all with plenty of room to spare--it's great!
