Vermont Grand View Farm — Hotel in Washington

This year our family exited the beaten path in search of a quaint mountain retreat in Vermont. The Grand View Farm, Bed and Breakfast more than exceeded our expectations! Kim and Chuck Goodling are living an idyllic lifestyle on their remote sheep farm. ||||Visiting from Florida in late summer, we welcomed the cooler temperatures, clean mountain air, and pervasive quiet. You don’t really know how noisy urban sprawl is until you turn out the lights to go to sleep on your first night on the mountain. ||||The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Part of the draw to the farm for our family was the allure of stepping backward in time a century or so. We were not interested in television and other modern pursuits. Grand View’s guest house is a 19th century building, expertly maintained. It was modified to have indoor plumbing, and the bathroom is contemporary; but the rest of the house has all of the charm we could have wished for. ||||We wanted a genuine farm experience for our children (11 and 9) and Grand View was exactly the working farm we were hoping to find. The children helped Chuck to feed the animals, and they ran back and forth between the sheep and pigs for the whole time we were there. ||||We adults engaged in important activities like resting, and learning. We even booked some time with Kim to learn how to spin yarn. Chuck spent at least some of the time we were there building an enclosure over their outdoor pizza oven. ||||Kim and Chuck really have spent quality time planning out their own lives. And their attention to detail is not lost when you stay on their property. Our children are still reliving the fun we had there as they go through their vacation pictures. It was a wonderful stay. We will definitely book with them again...
