Here's a guide to AJ Farm at Echo Lake. This is a private, 4-bedroom lakefront farmhouse in Plymouth, Vermont, which is a short drive from Okemo Mountain Resort and Killington. Here's what to know for travelers planning a New England ski trip, Fall foliage week, summer lake stay, or quiet escape.
AJ Farm at Echo Lake is a privately rented, restored 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Vermont farmhouse set on 6.7 acres overlooking Echo Lake in Plymouth, Vermont. The property sleeps up to 8 guests and includes a chef's kitchen, classic stone fireplace, sunroom, and a custom multi-level dock on Echo Lake located just across the road from the house.
AJ Farm has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with a mix of king and twin configurations. It comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests — ideal for families, multi-generational trips, and small groups visiting Vermont for skiing, foliage, or lake season.
The farmhouse sits on a sloped 6.7-acre parcel with sweeping views over Echo Lake and the Green Mountains. The property's private multi-level dock sits on the lakefront directly across the street from the house — a short walk for swimming, paddling, or sunrise coffee on the water.
Amenities include a fully equipped chef's kitchen (oven, stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, cookware, wine glasses), indoor wood-burning fireplace, sunroom, washer and dryer, heating, wireless internet, cable TV, laptop-friendly workspace, towels and linens, a crib, fireplace guards, and a private multi-level dock on Echo Lake.
Yes. AJ Farm is always rented as a single, private, whole-home Vermont rental which is never shared. The entire 4-bedroom farmhouse, 6.7 acres, and private dock are yours for the length of your stay.
Plymouth, Vermont is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes from Boston, Massachusetts and roughly 4 hours 30 minutes from New York City by car. Burlington, VT is about 1 hour 45 minutes north, and Hartford, CT is around 3 hours south — making AJ Farm one of the most accessible authentic Vermont vacation rentals for Northeast travelers.
The closest commercial airports are Rutland Southern Vermont Regional (RUT, about 30 minutes), Lebanon Municipal (LEB) in New Hampshire (about 1 hour), and Burlington International (BTV, about 1 hour 45 minutes). Many guests fly into Boston Logan (BOS) or Manchester-Boston (MHT) and drive up — both common routes for a Vermont weekend.
Within a short drive: skiing and riding at Okemo and Killington, hiking in the Green Mountains and Coolidge State Forest, swimming and paddling on Echo Lake and nearby Lake Rescue and Amherst Lake, the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, the Plymouth Artisan Cheese factory, farm stands and orchards through the Okemo Valley, and dining and galleries in Ludlow, Woodstock, and Chester. AJ Farm sits at the center of all of it.
AJ Farm is a true four-season Vermont retreat. Winter (December–March) is peak ski season for Okemo and Killington with long fireside evenings. Spring (April–May) is the quiet Vermont thaw — mud season's quiet beauty and early greens. Summer (June–August) is Echo Lake mornings, paddleboarding, fireflies, and outdoor dinners. Fall (mid-September–mid-October) delivers some of the most iconic foliage in New England, with peak color typically the first two weeks of October.
Yes. The property is one of the closer private lakefront homes to both mountains — about 20 minutes to Okemo Mountain Resort and 15 minutes to Killington. The mudroom, fireplace, and chef's kitchen are well suited to long ski days, and the house comfortably handles families and small ski groups of up to 8.
Echo Lake is a clean, spring-fed Vermont lake well suited to swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, and quiet fishing. AJ Farm's private multi-level dock — directly across the road from the house — gives guests immediate, private lake access throughout the summer and shoulder seasons.
Central Vermont — the corridor from Plymouth and Ludlow through Woodstock and Killington — is one of the most photographed fall regions in New England. Peak typically lands the first two weeks of October. AJ Farm's hillside views over Echo Lake and the Green Mountains make it one of the more dramatic foliage settings in the state.
