Amazing comfortable warm

Lovely house, rambling old farmhouse vibe with lots of space for entertaining and gathering. Many beds and bedrooms. We had a celebration event, and the caterer had lots of room to prep and we had lots of room to serve and eat. The property is serene, with hills and cows and trees. It was a delight to collaborate with Quarry Hill on assembling wonderful extras for our event. Guests from 11-89 enjoyed the space immensely. Thank you!

Wonderful house but it needs a little TLC

The Twelve adults in our family had a great time . The house easily accommodated all of us with room to spare. Kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies. Beautiful views from all of the windows. Lovely spot What a nice surprise to find a crib for our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. We’ll have fond memories of our time in Pownal

Beautiful pastoral setting!

We had a wonderful weekend at Quarry Hill Farm. The farmhouse was wonderful amd rustic, it felt historic, warm and cozy and the setting was beautiful. It was plenty big for our group of 8 guys. We enjoyed hearing the cows lowing by the pond at breakfast. The area is so dark at night that the stars were amazing. Our host Jenny was warm, super friendly and very helpful. At her suggestion we walked up the road and bought yogurt from the neighboring farm, which was delicious. We would definitely stay there again!

Christmas with family

We booked for Christmas with our family of 15. The house was perfect for us…great layout, cozy, plenty of spaces to gather, and even a little hill out back where the kids could sled. Unfortunately we had to leave a couple days early due to issues with septic and heat. Jenny was a true gem … very responsive and helpful. She even managed to find us a nearby property so we could complete the last 2 days of our time together. She went above and beyond. It is a very old house, and things can go wrong that are not in anyone’s control. That said, I would definitely book there again. We loved the house!

Perfect early summer weekend in Vermont!

Our extended family of 15 had a wonderful weekend at Quarry Hill Farm, celebrating two milestone birthdays. Everything was wonderful — easy checkin and checkout, the comfortable old farmhouse, gorgeous views from the patio (and many of the rooms!), a nice long walk on mostly dirt roads with few cars, a spacious kitchen that made it easy to prepare food for 15, clear instructions about garbage, recycling and the like, crisp linens and comfy beds, and several unique spaces that made it easy for groups of us to visit together, play board games, etc! In 15 minutes we were at the Clark Institute for a fabulous art exhibit, and MASSMoCA isn’t much further. Several times, people in our party commented in what an ideal space and location it was for us to gather. Although it was humid and rainy on Saturday, it cleared just enough for us to see the stunning cloud formation over the valley and pond from the patio, also the loveliest spot for a peaceful cup of coffee in the morning. Thank you, Jenny!

Great location in a unique house

Such a unique old sprawling farmhouse! Lots of room, and one of the most amazing views! Pretty much everything you need is in the house, it's just a bit hard to find since there's so much space. The area is great with so much to do. Jenny, the on site coordinator, will greet you and give you lots of insider tips of what to do. She is super easy to communicate with. The oven and the grill were unfortunately not working properly when we were there, which was a little tricky. We didn't reach out to Jenny at the time as we found other ways to make dinner happen. Keep in mind that there is no air conditioning in the house, so if it's hot out (like it was this weekend) you will just be hot. There are quite a few fans in the house which helped some. Over all we enjoyed this spot for our cousin reunion trip!

Rustic Bucolic farmhouse

Lovely views of the cows and mountains. Part of the house was built in the 1700's with original timbers. It is on a dirt road. Charming not modern

Beautiful Views and Historic Charm

Our family loved spending Thanksgiving at Quarry Hill Farm. We loved looking out the picture window on to the cows in the pasture, playing games by the gas fire, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, dining at the large table, using all three of the largish hangout spaces, reading in the comfy chairs, taking walks along the dirt road right out the door. It was a great house for a large family gathering with room enough for readers, gamers, and talkers.

Grace in the storm

In true "can do" fashion Jenny didn't let a little thing like a massive storm with downed trees, and power outages stand in the way of our visit. She provided us with alternative housing that allowed us to stay together, and focus on the wedding we were there to attend. Jenny is the very model of a modern major general!
