We had a great time staying in the old farmhouse. Stayed for a long weekend. Close to okemo and the town. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and staying in.
Would definitely stay there again âșïž
We stayed at this property in order to ski Okemo. Only 10-15 minutes away. A very easy drive. The house is split into 2 condos; we stayed on the bottom floor. House was perfectly clean. The items that you would want to be modern were- kitchen appliances, tv, bathroom, windows. The rest of the house still has the old-style farmhouse charm; a perfect blend.
Beds were very comfortable and the house heated up and maintained heat well- no drafts. Our dog loved being off-leash and racing through the field. 25 acres gave her plenty of room to run and play. The farm is a corner property but both roads only had very sporadic vehicles and the roads are also very slow to drive. We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay here. If we ski Okemo again, we will definitely be back to this property.
This place is spacious and charming, with a scenic backdrop and a terrific neighbor across the street with dogs. Make sure you get the door code before you go, because there is no cell service and the Wifi isn't open. Beds were small and too soft.
What a perfect place to stay in Vermont. It was an ideal escape and we felt we really got away from it all for the week we were there (we worked remotely from the apartment). At the same time, it was only 10 minutes from Ludlow and Proctorsville where we could get dinner, groceries, etc. The apartment itself was amazing (incredibly strong wifi!) and the outdoor space was divine. I could happily spend the rest of my life in the hammock / adirondack chairs. What a wonderful place that we can't wait to revisit!
This property is historic and the owners are very nice. It is a place to truly get away from it all. Groceries and other services are close enough though.
It is a terrific place for young children to run and play!
I most enjoyed the hammock!
I imagine it would also be lovely in fall or winter when a fire would be appropriate.
Spacious. Wow, we were not expecting this. We really felt like we were at home. Most importantly, the property is dog friendly and the dogs (and humans) felt more than welcomed by the owners. The location was PERFECT. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful views, and within 10 minutes from a market and more importantly Okemo ski resort. Plenty of on site hiking / snowmobile trails. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. Better wifi than we have at home - and secure so that we were able to telework when not skiing. A great value for the money.
The Big Farm was a great place to stay. The views were spectacular, with lots of color from the trees. The first floor condo had everything that I needed. It was great that the property was so close to Ludlow, with lots of restaurants as an option. I would definitely like to return next year!
Sheryl & Trevor were great hosts, very welcoming and communication was easy. The property is beautiful and relaxing with swings and play areas for the kids, lots of room for the kids and dog to run around. We used the firepit and BBQ. The farm house was beautiful with comfortable beds and new appliances. Great to have washer and dryer.
Location was perfect- a few miles from Echo lake and buttermilk falls. We would highly recommend for a peaceful vacation
The room was clean, roomy, well-lit, and the appliances were up-to-date. We had a very comfortable stay. The location is in a farm land. Quiet and peaceful. The owner, neighbors and their dogs are very friendly.
House was great for our family of four (plus dog). The definition of ease for a few days of skiing. We will definitely be back!

This was the perfect place to stay for a quick get away from the city. Quiet, cozy and relaxing in the country. I know I'll be visiting The Big Barn again. Thankyou Sheryl, Trevor and Lucy.
Cozy home with a beautiful view of a Vermont farm. I loved it and was sad to leave. Our hosts responded immediately when we had questions about the WiFi. It was perfect.
Had a wonderful stay at the Big Barn Farm & we look forward to visiting in the future! Very clean and well-maintained & SO close to Okemo for skiing! We loved our daily visits by Lucy-Lu (the owners' dog)...she was so welcoming and friendly! I would highly recommend!!
We love this place. Although there are so many really good restaurants that we have frequented in nearby Ludlow, we decided to cook in a family meal our last night. The kitchen is quite roomy and comfortable enough for two cooks! The view is pastoral Vermont at its finest. We hope to keep coming back to this place!

Great place within an easy drive to Okemo. Condo had everything we needed to stay with our two kiddos - kitchen was well equipped and the queen bed was comfy!
Love this antique VT farmhouse and location is close enough to Okemo, though all backroads to get there, so plan on 15-20 minutes. That said it is a lovely drive.
This place was perfect! Itâs conveniently located a short scenic drive from Okemo mountain and from Main Street in Ludlow. The owners were very friendly and accomadating and recommended a couple of great restaurants for us. The condo was VERY clean and had all the necessities. We are already talking about planning our next trip! This place was the prefect cozy Vermont getaway.
We stayed in the downstairs condo of this house while my son and his family stayed upstairs. What a wonderful arrangement! The condo is spacious and extremely clean. The owners , who live on-site in a separate building, are very helpful. We are already booked to return next month. When there, we ski at Okemo, a short drive away.
