Amazing home and property!

High Acres Farm was the perfect spot for us to have a micro-wedding celebration with our family. The property and house are incredible. Our family loved sitting on the back porch, walking the trails to the beachfront, and being together at this stunning location. Jeff was a great host and was available and helpful prior to and during our stay. We can't wait to return!!

Vermont Escape

An incredible location with expansive views of Lake Champlain and rolling meadows. The accommodations were superb. Our family thoroughly enjoyed swimming, tubing, kayaking and floating in and around our private cove. It is sooooo peaceful and serene. Thank you Jeff for such an amazing experience

This is a really special place. It's as beautiful in person as it is in the photos, but the grounds are even more spectacular. The drive in alone is gorgeous, with wildlife sightings along the way. The house is incredibly well-appointed, and it is also filled with the history of the family that owns it, which makes it feel even more special. Jeff is super easy to work with, and was incredibly responsive to every request we had.

A white Christmas like no other!

An amazing, quiet and secluded location with picturesque views no matter where you look. The snow capped mountain views were breathtaking. A one of a kind gathering place no matter the time of year for large groups. Jeff was awesome and helpful throughout our stay as well. Will keep on the list for future gatherings.

High Acres is an extraordinary property!!!

We are an extended family of 9 plus a family dog and everyone loved High Acres. We enjoyed cooking and dining together. We loved the views and the many walks around the property. We had s’mores by the lake, carved a pumpkin, played corn hole, badmitten, pool and ping pong, had several fires, and enjoyed the splendid fall colors. Our host was attentive, informative, and friendly. I would love to come back.

Marvelous get-away and get-together for large family

The High Acres house is extraordinary; beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable, laid out very well for a large group, and offers many fantastic options for indoor entertainment. The outside area is magnificent; views of the lake, mountains and ever changing sky, acres and acres of peaceful landscape to be enjoyed from the patio, the pool, on foot , or on the cow-print golf cart, and the private beach on the lake left our entire party in awe. No one wanted to leave and everyone wants to return ! Definitely left us all with delightful lasting memories.

Highacres farm - where living is easy and life won’t pass you by

We have stayed at numerous great places that we loved visiting. But, highacres is a place where you soon want to live. From Jeff, the property manager, to all the touches and extras in and on the property, one immediately feels at home. Everything melts away and you just experience those simple things in life. And to top things off, this location is stunning. It was a magical family experience. Thanks to everyone at Highacres Farm.

Unbelievably gorgeous views & fabulous house

We had a group of 16 (my parents (70s), aunt (70), my siblings and spouses (40s), and seven kids (ages 4-14). The house was perfect for our group. Plenty of room to spread out, a basement and third floor for kids to be kids and making noise without everyone needing to hear it. The view from the back patio is one of the most beautiful we’d ever seen and it was ours all day every day! We had an amazing time going back and forth to the lake, walking around the beautiful property, and trying out kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and getting the kids on tubes and wake boards. Jeff, the manager, was the best—responsive, helpful, kind, and patient. I cannot recommend this place enough!

A perfect stay

High Acre Farm was the perfect home for extended family and friends in town for a wedding. The setting of the house is beautiful, the house itself is outfitted perfectly for our large group-it has anything and everything you could think of. I've never seen another rental home like it! The mix of personal pictures, books, furniture, history together with comfortable bedrooms and baths made each of our guests feel right at home. Jeff was so easy to communicate with and was available immediately to answer any questions. Bonus was that he kept us informed of 600 sheep being sheparded into the lower fields-truly a sight to behold and a much talked about memory of the guests. This is a special property. We're looking for another reason to stay at High Acres in the future!

Magical & Breathtaking Stay

Jeff's home was incredible! I'm struggling to even write a review that gives the home and Jeff justice for how amazing our stay was. The property is very well maintained, super private, and has insane magical views of the sunset on Lake Champlain. So much care and thought put into every detail of the home. We feel so fortunate to be able to stay at the High Acres Farm Estate. We'll never forget our time here and are hoping to come back some day and visit again! Thanks Jeff!

Absolutely beautiful property, gorgeous house

This is our second time on this property, and our group of 12 friends truly loves it. The house is just perfect, beautifully designed with everything high quality, a great cooking kitchen, and a mix of open spaces to socialize, and cozy rooms to hide away with a book. The property the house sits on is also beautiful. Giant wide open space with gorgeous tree views of the lake and mountains. It’s really an autumn paradise.

The Most Magical Place on Earth

I'm hesitant to write this review, as I want to be able to return to High Acres one day, but it is the most magical place. My husband and I spent the last few months traveling across the country and saw some incredible places/VRBOs/national parks and High Acres Farm just might be our favorite. We worked with Jeff (the most helpful, considerate and understanding host we have yet to come across - and we've stayed at ~50 this year alone) to plan our small wedding on the property, where we stayed with our siblings in the house leading up to the party. We couldn't have asked for a more incredible house and property - from the views of the mountains over lake champlain to sharing meals in the beautiful kitchen - this house has it all and more. Natural beauty, charm, upscale amenities, and most of all a unique pastoral setting. We hope to keep High Acres as a special place for our family to return to, as we've really never experienced anything so magical. Thank you, Jeff for everything!!! - The Hayons

Best Family Vacation Ever!

We had an amazing time! Our kids flew or drove in from various states to join us at this amazing property. Our two little grandsons loved the loft area and we all enjoyed the pool, tennis court and lake (paddle boarding and kayaking were a favorite). The house was a perfect fit and so well appointed! Jeff was so relaxed and was a perfect host/manager. If there were more stars we'd give them!

Congratulations to the wedding couple married at the Old Lantern! It was wonderful to see the family exploring the property and enjoying the lake. So great to hear all 27 signs were found! That is a first, with hopefully more to come. I hope to welcome you back in the future. Please stay in touch!

Vermont Bliss

The property is simply beyond compare. While the photos of the property are beautiful, being there exceeded all expectations. This is a magic family home the exudes the history of the many generations that have occupied the space. Everything is first class. The quality of service was five star. This is a resort experience and to call it a "rental" would be an injustice. We can't wait to return!

Absolutely stunning property

Both the property and the house itself are absolutely beautiful. The land is expansive with amazing views of Lake Champlain and plenty of fall foliage in the right season. The house itself is perfectly done, no details is missed. This house is not superficially high quality, it is high quality to the bones. All the furniture is beautiful and extremely nice, with couches and chairs you melt into in front of fireplaces you'll want to melt in front of. The kitchen is beautifully done, with tons of space, all very easy to use. We cooked almost every meal we were there and enjoyed every minute of it. Tons of storage place with two fridges, and a really nice hygge feel to it all. We just finished our trip and are already planning our trip back for next autumn. Can't recommend any more highly.
