Stay on The Hill!
Stay on the farm & we’ll give you the insider scoop on all the North East Kingdom of Vermont has to offer! Read on to learn everything you need to know about booking the Suite Apartment and staying on our small garlic farm.
Please note that our little farm is not open for unplanned visits, tours or events like weddings. This is our house! It’s very regular! We only have 2 parking spaces!
Visits are welcome if you email us ahead or book a stay in The Suite.
The Suite
On The Hill
We live at the top of a steep hill in Hardwick, Vermont where you’ll have sweeping mountain views. We’re a 5 minute drive from main street Hardwick, 20 minutes from nordic skiing at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, 45 minutes from Stowe or Montpelier, and 90 minutes from Burlington. Come for the small-town local experience and we’ll share all the best secrets of the Northeast Kingdom!
The Suite is a small (600sf) apartment above the garage attached to our house, ideal for a single person, couple, small family or two friends looking to have a low-key time. We can comfortably accommodate up to two dogs (no cats) in the Suite, who must be kept on-leash outside as we have free-ranging ducks. The Suite is only accessible via a flight of stairs.
The Suite has a private bedroom with a queen bed and a couch with a pull-out bed. The pull-out is a small full size bed and can comfortable sleep a small adult or child. The living area has a couch with chaise and a chair for seating. There’s a TV offering streaming services (no cable), one bathroom with tub/shower and a kitchen that is fully stocked with the essentials: drip coffeemaker, electric kettle, microwave, oven, small pot & frying pan, mixing bowls, plates, cups & utensils. We will set you up with coffee, tea, honey, sugar and a few breakfast basics like cereal and oatmeal. If you need a crib or high chair, we got that too.
The Suite shares a wall with our home office. Both Andy & Kole alternate working from home/outside the home throughout the week so we are around. Since we’re a small garlic farm, we may be working around the property, curing garlic in the garage below The Suite, and once in a while using large equipment, like a tractor, which can be noisy. Please read our On the Farm section below for details on staying with us during farming season. We have two dogs, Reba & Rooster, who will bark as you come & go and who aren’t easy-going around strangers. We aren’t always available to socialize too much during your stay, but we will say hi as often as we can! If you catch us outside in farming season, we’ll give you a quick tour of the garlic patch.
We have a 3-4 person hot tub that you may use during your stay. We also have an outdoor cold shower to rinse off in the Summer months and a cold plunge in the Winter, but shoulder seasons may offer the hot tub only. We’ve sectioned off a portion of our stone patio for your enjoyment with string lights, chairs and a chimera for a small fire. Just let us know when you’d like to use the hot tub/chimera and we will give you privacy. Note that hot tub/chimera hours end at 10pm. This is not a party place - we prefer to have a peaceful, quiet farm time. If you do to, please visit!
A note on weather:
Winter lasts from November to April in Northern Vermont and, due to our elevation, we get more weather than the rest of the state. Then it all melts in March & April and we get mud season. Please be prepared with a winter-capable vehicle with 4 wheel drive and/or snow tires if you are visiting during these months. We live up a long steep road that is, thankfully, paved & usually plowed early. But visitors who come with low-undercarriage cars or without 4 wheel drive often get stuck on the incline of our driveway and need to be pushed out. Winter is the most fun season in Vermont so bring your skis, wool layers, & your capable vehicle and come enjoy the season!

Northern Vermont is such a special place. There’s hardly any cell service, the winding roads are mostly dirt, the pace is slow and nothing’s on Google. Learn about our area before you come by checking out our Suite Guidebook below…
