About this property

Barn stay with dairy goats! Your clean cozy spot in the barn is waiting for you

  • The real rural Vermont experience, complete with the chance to sleep in a super comfortable barn bungalow. If you are really lucky, you will get the amazing opportunity to sleep under a steel roof while it rains—sublime! The bungalow features 1 queen bed and 1 full bed (loft), and sixteen or so friendly Nubian dairy goats, some free ranging ducks, and assorted wild critters!

    You will enjoy you private and superbly comfortable private bath suite; complete with tub and shower: vanity and heatdd and lighted mirror; and odor-free state of the art incinerating toilet. ensuring a fabulous night's sleep for all guests. The kitchen includes a mini fridge, sink, dishes, silverware and a set of marshmallow sticks. There is a Nespresso Vertua coffee maker, microwave and toaster oven and a fire pit with a grill for cooking. . Plus, there is an additional living room space with a cozy electric fireplace and propane heat in the winter.

    This is a working dairy goat barn and guests are invited to join in daily farm activities as much; or as little as they desire.

    Our trail connects directly to the VAST snowmobile trail system and have plenty of space for vehicles with snowmobile trailers. Snowmobiles can be parked under cover with ride in/ride out access!

    Several lawn games including corn hole and ladder ball are free for our guests. We have additional tenting sights that can be utilized at an additional fee for larger groups. Kickback, relax, and enjoy everything Chelsea and our farm has to offer. Ask about our additional equipment and experience packages to include classes on goat milk soap making, sweet grass braiding, natural cordage arts, and out door skills orientations.

    Come have a relaxing adventure in the heart of the real Vermont! It does not matter which of Vermont’s six seasons (well okay maybe not mud season) but spring with blooming forests and baby goats, to summer with creek frolicking and evening fires; falls resplendent fiery foliage, stick season’s restful wooded walks, to winter’s peaceful beauty and adventures. Huntress Haven has it all- in splendid beauty and comfort.

The hosts are kind and hospitable. They were so welcoming, flexible, and have truly created a unique experience for goat lovers. The goats were so friendly! The ducks were shy but still fun to see! We’re looking forward to going back during warmer weather but still an overall great experience.

This was a very cozy room, could sleep 4 adults or 2 adults and three kids. Kitchen is good for simple meals, tv and wifi were great and easy to use. It was nice to be able to soak in the tun after our hikes in the area.The hosts were generous with their time and happy to share their knowledge about goats and let us pet, feed, and even milk the goats!

We had a magical stay. We can't wait to come back and stay longer. My son asked to come back as soon as we left. Dave and Miken are such kind and welcoming people. We loved learning about the goats and getting to help hands on. Their dogs are special creatures. The sleeping quarters are cozy and the bed is extremely comfortable. We met as strangers and left as friends!

What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our two kids (7 & 9) are still talking about it and our only regret is not being able to stay longer. From the goats to the ducks and their two adorable dogs, to star gazing, gold panning, the incredibly comfortable and warm accommodations, and just how welcome we felt, to not experience this opportunity would be a loss. We will definitely make every effort to return and I hope others can also have the opportunity to experience what these amazing hosts have created :)

"We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Huntress Haven farm! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely connected to the farm life and nature. The highlight was definitely feeding the baby goats, And milking the mommas. There is a beautiful brook running right next to the barn where we stayed. Fresh eggs from the ducks and chickens. The property is stunning and the mountains provided peaceful escape and an awesome hike to the top.. Dave & Miken was a wonderful host made us feel like old friends, available for questions but gave us plenty of privacy. Very patient and taught us a lot about the goat farming life, including showing us how to milk a goat at letting us milk every time it was needed to be done. It was my fiancé's birthday trip and Dave & Miken made it very special for her with birthday extras. We already booked again to come back!" P.S. - ask about the home made goats milk soap Miken makes, It is awsome! Katie & Dennis

We had a wonderful time. Dave and Miken were excellent hosts. The goats were a true delight! It was also sweet to see the ducks and meet a lovely dog named Poe.Although the room was in the barn it was well-insulated and barely smelled of the goats. With the heater and heavy blankets it was easy to keep warm, and the shower had plenty of hot water and nice soaps. Only unexpected part was a unique toilet which required some instruction to use. Using it was quite easy though and we quickly adapted to it.

Incredible spot for a rustic getaway

The hosts were super communicative and accommodating to everything we needed, even going so far as to give us a tour of the property when we arrived late at night. The space is super cozy (we stayed during a snow showers and very cold weather) and we loved being able to relax in the super modern and clean living space while being able to feed all the wonderful goats just outside. Being introduced to each goat on a first name basis and being told about their personality was so funny,. We will absolutely be back for a longer stay, can't recommend this place enough!

Incredible Family Farm Experience

We had the best time at the goat farm! It was definitely rustic, but cozy and welcoming in all the right ways. The kids were in heaven—they got to milk goats, feed them, and explore the whole property. They haven’t stopped talking about it!It felt like stepping into a slower, simpler rhythm of life, and we loved every minute of it. It’s not fancy, but it’s full of heart—and the memories we made here are the kind that stick.If you’re up for a little adventure and don’t mind getting your hands (or boots) a little dirty, this is such a special place to unwind and reconnect.

1st snowmobile trip of 25

This property is so cool and unique! After a long day on the trails it was great to come to the barn say hi to the goats and step in to the bungalow and it was nice and warm. The owner was so cooperative with the check in process as he met me first thing in the morning so I could go enjoy the trails. Trails lead right to the door! Thank you for a great stay and will return very soon

Perfection

Miken and Dave gave us the perfect experience weekend I was looking for, Farm animals beat out hotel with pool everytime! Very patient and knowledgeable guidance to interact with their lovely goat family as much, or as little as you want. Shout out to Po and Gracie the sweetest greeters you could ever ask for. Also it rained our whole stay, and we didn't even notice! Had a fabulous time regardless!Thank you Miken and Dave!The Thompson gang will see you all again!

I grew up on a farm, so I knew what to expect. My family thought it was great! The apartment is actually in the barn, so every morning I was able to open the door and say good morning to the goats and ducks. Our apartment was awesome and very accommodating. We sat by the fire pit every night, loved up the goats, and waded in the creek, such a fun experience. You can also learn to milk a goat!Our hosts also offered classes. Goat milk soap making. Design and make your own full loaf (10 bars) of cold process soap. Materials and handouts provided so you can continue your soap making journey when you go home. Cordage making class: making rope from dried plants that can be used to create a variety of products and Mandala rock painting for beginners. We found perfect smooth river rocks in the creek and learned the techniques used to create beautiful patterns. It was like taking little piece of the haven home with you.

Educational & delightful spring break

We don't usually visit Vermont in mud season so that was an education in itself. But we came to see family: the goats were just an added bonus adventure, a little test to see if the city kids would enjoy the farm. 100% wonderful experience: feeding a pen full of friendly baby goats, softer than puppies, milking a momma goat, learning their names, markings, the business, etc, just a delight. Dave & Miken showed love & enthusiasm for the work, & for my children. The cabin was very warm & cozy, beds were soft, Nespresso coffee yum, & surprisingly little smells or noise made it through the walls from the goats. We could tell in the morning when it was feeding times but mostly we slept through it unless one of the kids wanted to be up for it. When on the last day our van got stuck in the mud, Dave & Miken went above & beyond the call of duty to get us out, to feed us breakfast while we waited for the truck to winch us out, to entertain the kids & let us get our last round of goat snuggles, even though they had been milking & feeding babies round the clock for days on end. Can't recommend this stay enough!

This was our first time staying on a working farm. Our kids had a blast and really loved feeding the goats and ducks, as well as sledding. The bungalow was comfortable and the loft was a favorite for our son, who enjoyed climbing the ladder. The fresh eggs were much appreciated, and the duck eggs were truly delicious. Thanks for a great weekend.
