In the heart of Vermont, White Doe Farm offers a serene retreat for family gatherings, romantic getaways, or solo escapes. Cozy up by the fireplace in the spacious navy sitting room and enjoy post-dinner drinks with plenty of cozy touches like wide leather couches and plush blankets.
Built circa 1860, our Rupert, VT farmhouse has been fully renovated for modern comfort while still retaining original rustic touches like original hardwood floors, a Rumford fireplace, and an antique wood-burning stove. We'd love to host your next family gathering, romantic getaway, or solo retreat!
Situated just under a mile from Merck Forest & Farmland Center, a 3,200-acre estate with hiking trails and camping, White Doe Farm is a four bedroom, three bathroom farmhouse with an open-plan kitchen, living room with fireplace, front porch, back patio, and sun room. You'll find the house meticulously equipped with everything you could ever need, from bedding, towels, and slippers to cookware, toiletries, and firewood.
After cooking yourself a hearty breakfast using freshly-sourced ingredients from local purveyors, cozy up in the kitchen's breakfast nook, where you'll also find a working wood-burning stove. For formal lunches and dinners, enjoy sitting in our dramatic Burgundy dining room just off the kitchen. Take post-dinner drinks into the spacious navy sitting room, which is outfitted with plenty of cozy touches, like wide leather couches, plush blankets, and an oversized ottoman directly in front of the fireplace. A 55-inch smart TV has Netflix, Hulu, DirectTV and all the other channels you could wish for. WiFi is of course provided throughout the entire house.
Bedroom 1, downstairs, has a queen-sized bed and adjoining bathroom. The other three bedrooms are upstairs, including the master, which has a king-sized bed, flat screen TV, and en-suite bathroom (complete with a rain showerhead and in-shower bench). Bedroom 3, sunny and bright, also has a queen-sized bed, while warm and cozy bedroom 4 has a full-sized bed and set of twinXL bunk beds (comfortable enough for adults). 8-10 people can sleep at White Doe Farm comfortably (or more, if the couches are utilized).
The kitchen is equipped with all the tools, appliances, and serveware you'd need to prepare a chef's quality meal at home (including a dishwasher, double fridge, coffee maker, and baking materials.) Plenty of firewood can be found on the porch.
Be sure to check out all the charming spots Dorset, VT — less than 10 minutes away by car — has to offer, including the Dorset Inn, Barrows House Inn (both lovely spots for dinner), Dorset Bakery, and Dorset Union Store. On Sundays, you don't want to miss the farmers market with local vendors selling everything from artisan-made bags to maple syrup, produce, dairy, sweets, and more. Don't forget to stop by H.N. Williams, an authentic Vermont country store, where you can pick up everything from groceries and wine to cozy country apparel and Vermont's best homemade sandwiches.
Manchester, VT — about a 15-minute drive away — is perhaps the best shopping destination in the state. In addition to outlets and flagship stores from brands like Orvis, UGG, Ralph Lauren, and Theory, Manchester is also home to plenty of modern restaurants, locally-owned shops, and grocery stores.

This house... Just stunning. Absolutely loved everything about it. The location, the grounds, the jouse itself was just beautiful. Thank you for the pleasure of sharing your home with us.
Everything in listing absolutely on point! Our family does a retreat annually after Christmas and this home was the perfect setting! Beautifully restored farmhouse, cozy, charming with lots of room for all 6 of us!
We had the most wonderful escape to Vermont. We loved the house and the area, couldn’t have asked for more. What a joy to wake up each morning in three cows Saturn, Phoebe, and Archie grazing in the field. We enjoyed the walks on the trails, the farmers markets, the farm stands, and the cheese! Thank you again Tiffany for everything you did to make sure we were well looked after. The house is a true delight!
My family and I are grateful for our wonderful stay at White Doe Farm. The house was quaint, immaculate, and well equipped with everything you need to feel comfy and relaxed. We enjoyed cooking breakfast in the gourmet kitchen and relaxing in the great room by the fire. An unexpected perk was the comfortable mattress and bedding in the master suite! Exploring the 10-acre farm was a highlight for our dogs and children. Centrally located to all of our favorite spots in Vermont including restaurants in Manchester and daily provisions at the Dorest Union Store.

Full of bugs
This listing should be taken down. I’ve requested a refund already but it was the worst experience of my VRBO stay as it was filled with flies and bugs. A bed was covered in bugs after lifting the covers. This issue is being escalated to VRBO.
White Doe Farm is a beautiful restoration of an old farmhouse - a big huge modern kitchen with the comfort of a great family room and peaceful bedrooms each decorated with simplicity!
Beautiful old farmhouse with a little modern charm. We enjoyed this home so much! Comfortable beds and great cooking space. We didn’t have much time to explore the outdoor areas but they looked beautiful. Thanks again!
The property was gorgeous. The perfect blend of style and comfort. Great Kitchen fully equipped beautiful. The bedrooms were plenty big and super comfortable. The outdoor patio with the grill and fire pit was a great bonus and was well used. The entire property was idyllic and made for a wonderful experience.
We had a lovely stay at The White Doe Farm. It was a beautiful house and we had plenty of room for our family. The outside grounds were
Beautiful and is was a pleasure to relax outside and inside.
We had an issue with our cell service. We have Verizon and we could not get good reception there. The WiFi was good.
All else was very nice.
A gem! Gorgeous site matched by elegant and utterly cozy
Gorgeous site complemented by elegant and utterly cozy farmhouse. Eight of us celebrated three birthdays and couldn’t have been happier or more comfortable. Cows, chickens, pond. Fireplaces inside and out. State of the art kitchen. Climb up the hillside for perfect sunsets.
We just returned home from our weekend at White Doe Farm and already feel the need to go back.
Everything about the house was exactly what we wanted. The house has all one could ask for, from the welcoming kitchen where everyone congregates, to the fire pit set up outside, to the amazingly comfortable beds. We had an amazing, peaceful weekend and can't wait to go back. Thank you to Tiffany for being so responsive when we had questions and to Danellie for the cow milking lessons and fresh eggs and milk when we arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough.
We enjoyed our stay in your beautifully restored farmhouse! The house is very clean, with plenty of space for all. We loved cooking our meals in your restored kitchen then relaxing by the fireplace. The property manager Tiffany was very attentive and friendly. Plenty of r&r, just what my family needed during this pandemic. We had a great time and hope to return soon!
The house is absolutely perfect. Comfortable. Great location. Well stocked. Tiffanny the manager is the BEST!!!! Our dogs loved visiting with the cows & chickens. Our only want was that we wish there was a small fenced in area for the dogs to be unsupervised. We cannot wait to come back.
We had such a wonderful trip to Vermont. The fall colors were incredible but our favorite part of our time in Vermont was the time spent at the farmhouse. The new renovation was so tasteful. It captured the historical essence of the home while bringing modern elements and beautiful design. The house was everything we could have hoped for and Tiffany was attentive and responsive and super friendly.
Our kids loved their experience on the property. They enjoyed roaming and exploring. Maeflower Farms was a highlight for the whole family. Danielle was generous enough to teach our kids how to milk her cows and play with the chickens. They ran up the hill to the cows each morning to see if the new calf had joined us yet. Sitting on the back patio area while the kids played on the property was so peaceful.
This place is every kids (and adults) dream. We can't wait to come back.
My husband, young son, and I had a delightful week at this beautifully restore farmhouse.l with lots of modern touches. We loved spending time in the bright sunroom and the modern kitchen with eat-in breakfast nook was perfect for preparing and enjoying meals. The house is equipped with streaming TV in multiple rooms, which we also enjoyed. The property is situated on a peaceful lot I. The country. We spent lots of time outside taking in the clean, crisp VT air.
Tiffany, the property manager, was responsive and helpful whenever we had a question about the house or the area.
Fantastic stay at this property...a family of six with four grown children and pups had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is a cook's dream and the decor is lovely. This home is an obvious labor of love as every detail is perfect! We were on the slopes in 20 minutes and hiked 5 minutes away at the Merck Forest trails. Already looking forward to our next visit!
