We loved our stay at this unique property. As experienced travelers, we appreciated the work done to convert a portion of the barn into a rental. The owners greeted us, told us all about their beautiful goats and we felt at home. The Chelsea area is remote and beautiful.

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!

It really is a cute spot inside a barn, which was awesome. To be clear, the living space is separated from the animal space. It was a cozy and relaxing place for our family of four.We loved connecting with Dave and Miken and all their farm animals. The goats are funny and the dogs are sweet! Ducks were a bonus.It's a beautiful location in Vermont with great access to the various places we wanted to visit.

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 :)

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.

Goat Inn greatness!

I felt like I was staying with family. The beds were so comfortable I didn't want to get up. The goats were great hosts;) and the rest of the animals were so fun to be around. There was a lovely fire pit that we used in the evening and our check in and out were extremely easy and stress free!

Magical Weekend with Wonderful Hosts

My son and I had the pleasure on staying at Dave and Miken's farm while visiting the Burlington area. Our only regret was that we didn't have more time spend at the farm itself! The property is exactly as described and pictured. The guest bungalow is small but cozy, and between the goats, doggos, ducks and a suprise visit from the pig welcoming committee (they had us in hysterics), we spent very little time inside. The goats make excellent flat-mates and my son and I had fun trying to pick out all their unique calls and tones of voice. We were introduced to All of them by name and quickly learned your favorite spots for dental scratches and attention.Dave and Miken were so incredibly warm and generous with their time, we were immediately made to feel at home. They were there to meet us when we arrived, despite some changes in our eta, and were beyond kind, happy to teach us as much (or as little) as we wanted to know about their farm.We hope to return soon. Dave and Miken's farm is truly an oasis of peace for animal and nature lovers!

Heavenly Haven

A couple of days at the Huntress Haven was exactly what I needed! I was able to relax, enjoy the rhythm of the farm (goats, pigs, and ducks), and take in the beautiful scenery. The bungalow was cozy and had everything I needed. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure everything was enjoyable. I’m definitely planning a return trip!

Quick wedding stay/Goat adventure

What a fun weekend we had!! David & Miken were as nice as could be. The goats, pigs, and dogs were amazing too! We were only in town for 2 nights, for a family wedding, but the goats were sooo much fun! We absolutely plan on coming back for a longer stay, to explore the full amenities of the farm, and to enjoy the GORGEOUS location. The vrbo space was small but mighty. Far better than we even had hoped! Lots of room for sleeping (max 5 for sure) Not much room for hanging out inside, but it's Vermont; there are great outdoor spaces set aside for guests, and mountains, and a river, and GOATS! Thanks for a wonderful weekend! David & Miken!
Some of the stars of the show! SOO cute!!
Very nice sink/shower area. Nice water pressure. Incinerator toilet was a 1st, but outside of it being new/different it was nice, clean, easy to use.
fold out couch/single bed, loft with double/queen (not sure my 18 yo was up there. He LOVED the space) Queen underneath the loft. Mattress was very comfortable.
Part of the kitchenette area. There is also a half fridge, microwave, hot plate, and a fancy Nespresso maker that my sister LOVED.

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.

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!
