“Paradise is closer than one might think!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

Beautiful place, very kind hosts, bang in the middle of wonderful nature!
We arrived after spending a few days in Boston. Windekind is 180 degrees the opposite of a busy city. At the end of a road you arrive in a little paradise where Mark and Marijke have become one with the surrounding nature. We spent 7 days in September and foliage was very near so we enjoyed colorful leaves and awesome sunsets. Easy homebase to make day trips from and get an impression of the genuine Vermont life! We would certainly recommend Windekind as a place to step away from every day life and indulge in living closer to our roots ie nature!

“Cosiness in the wilderness!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

This cabin was well worth the visit! I stayed here for 2 nights with my girlfriend recently. There is a very cute little kitchen with an inviting adjoining living room complete with a Gaz fireplace.

There is a small selection of Frendh Cafe Music and Classical CDs, which you can listen to on a compact little music center.

The bed was very cosy, and there are two dogs owned by the proprieters, which will happily accompany you on a hike around the property!

This was a very enjoyable weekend spent there, and I would highly recommend it!!

“Always look forward to going back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

My family and I just returned back from Windekind Farm just a few weeks ago. This was our first time back with our children. My husband and I went to Windekind for the first time about 3 and 1/2 years ago and we fell in love with everything Windekind has to offer so we were looking forward to taking our 4 children and my mom back this time to enjoy and experience everything we did. Since we were going to stay a week this time with the children we wanted to stay in a "home like" environment. Windekind definately has that feel to it. Mark and Marijke (the ownders) definately make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible.
As soon as we walked in to beautiful Breidablick cottage all you smell is the scent of wood which we love. It definately brought flashbacks from the first time my husband and I went. Upon entering it reminded me of why I love it there. It definately feels like home. Being that we have small children and we travel a lot with them we always like stay in a clean and comfortable place that is well maintained. Windekind definately offers that. It's clean and very well stocked with everything you need including kitchen equipment and dinnerware items. This was a plus for us because it's a little difficult eating out all the time with the kids. Cooking in the cottage was great because we could all eat comfortably and we all felt at home.
The farm and the grounds itself is so picturesque. Not one day went by during our stay without my husband and I admiring the beauty of Windekind and saying how we wish we lived like this and in such a beautiful environment. No matter what direction you looked there was always something beautiful to stare at. Our children definately enjoyed it there. They walked around all of the grounds like it was theirs along with the farm's sweet yellow lab "Elsa". She is the sweetest dog and the kids fell in love with her. She even came on walks with us on the trails that surround the farm.
Mark and Marijke really make you feel welcomed. I was really happy that Mark remembered us since the 1st time my husband and I went and even remembered pretty much every detail we shared with him. This really makes us happy. They treat you like you're family or long time friends and that is a great feeling. For our small children to go up to someone they just met a few days before and hug them goodbye and see them so sad when we were leaving really tells me a lot about the way they felt about Windekind and Mark and Marijke.
There are not enough words to describe Windekind. For us it's like heaven and no one will ever know what a beautiful experience it is unless they go check it out for themselves. We have traveled with and without our children enough times to safely say that Windekind is our favorite. We have even traveled to Disney a year ago and my children would choose to stay at Windekind over Disney anytime. It has definately left a mark in all of our hearts and we will definately be back again soon.
Thank you Mark and Marijke for sharing such a beautiful place with not only us but with the world. We look forward to seeing all of you again soon!

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

My husband and I began our honeymoon with two nights at Windekind farms after we got married at the beginning of October 2011. We were thrilled to find a sanctuary after the stress and chaos of the wedding. We stayed at Breidablick Cottage and found it to be cozy and homey. We were pleased that the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans and we had several nice meals while we were there. It was also nice to have a base of operations for day excursions. It is so close to Camel's Hump and we had a great hike to the top. We were also relieved that we were able to have our dogs with us and didn't have to board them.

Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We very much look forward to our next visit. It felt like home!

“A wonderful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Windekind Farm is an absolutely lovely spot. The grounds are beautiful, the lodging comfortable, the people terrific. Mark is a very interesting gentleman with a passion for trains. See their website for the amazing "model" trains he produces. There is a resident Golden Retriever, Elsa, one of the sweetest creatures we've encountered, and as a bonus the Smiths were dogsitting a wonderfully rambunctious puppy named Birdie. There is a field on the grounds where a small herd of pregnant heifers were "summering". On our hike across the field to a nearby stream, we were accompanied by a parade of cows! All in all a wonderful place. We'll be back.
