Rupert House | Beautifully restored 1806 Vermont farmhouse & “Cook’s Country” TV set

4 Bedroom House in Rupert

WELCOME TO THE JUDGE SHELDON RESIDENCE a.k.a THE “COOK’S COUNTRY” HOUSE.
Built in 1806 by Judge David Sheldon, a former soldier of the revolutionary war, member of Colonel Benedict Arnold’s regiment, county judge, and local political leader, the home serves as the anchor of the Rupert Village Historic District in the quaint, New England town of Rupert, Vermont. In addition to the 4,000 sq ft residence in which the Sheldons raised their ten children, the 1.85 acre property includes a large horse barn, dairy barn, antique brick smokehouse, milk house, raised-bed garden, and fire pit.
The home was completely renovated in 2008 prior to serving as the set for the first ten seasons of the syndicated PBS television cooking show, Cook’s Country, hosted by celebrity chef Christopher Kimball. As such, the professional kitchen is well appointed with DCS ranges and ovens, and a full array of cooking equipment and appliances. The first floor’s living room, large dining room, wraparound and screened-in porches, and outdoor brick patio, make the home an ideal place for large family gatherings.
The Judge Sheldon Residence sleeps 10 comfortably in its 4 bedrooms—with a king bed in one and queen beds in the other three along with 3 additional twin beds. The 2 full baths feature beautifully tiled showers and one, an antique bear-claw tub. The living room has a working fireplace, a variety of reading material, and a flatscreen television for streaming from your personal devices. WiFi is work-from-home grade (even if Rupert’s electrical grid sometimes isn’t.)
The caretakers and their two dogs live on-premises in a basement apartment with a separate entrance. They tend to the property, gardens, outbuildings, and free-range chickens. They are happy to answer questions and share a bonfire.

Summary: The property was beautiful, well appointed and maintained. (The twin beds were narrower than normal but it was worth it for our group to all be together).

Randi P. Jan 5, 2025 08:44:06 AM

Summary: House was well appointed with thoughtful touches, exactly as described. The comfort and convenience of an inn or boutique hotel with the privacy of home. Bigger than expected. Gracious hosts. Will recommend to friends and family.

Brit B. Oct 16, 2024 07:26:22 AM

Summary: Just perfect! From the moment we drove up to the house! It was festive and fun. We came for the leaves and a small town vibe and this house took it to a new level. We’ve never stayed in a better house. Loved the vintage vibe and all the personal touches. The property manager had placed fresh flowers throughout the house for us. The kitchen was amazing and made for some fun cooking. The property was unbeatable! We plan to come back!

Summary: A beautiful, comfortable home that was perfect for my family's short vacation in August.

Clarissa W. Sep 4, 2024 08:56:47 PM

Summary: Ideally located for us, beautifully updated and maintained. Everything we could have wanted was there for an extended family week long visit including fresh flowers in vases, gorgeous gardens and protected sitting areas. We were delighted with our hosts who are easily available and flexible. We definitely would recommend and plan to repeat.

Summary: Wow! That was our first reaction when we pulled up to the house! This stop was in the middle of a 10-day trip, and my family wanted to cancel our other plans and just stay here. The house is gorgeous, the property is stunning, and Sarah and Brett were awesome! We truly enjoyed our stay here and would love to visit again!

Summary: We loved our stay over a long holiday weekend. The house and property were better than we even expected. It’s a historic house updated with modern conveniences. The kitchen was a highlight. Our group of two families with nine people loved it. There was plenty of space. The layout was great. The hosts were friendly. The cleaning was immaculate. The property epitomized rustic, historic luxury. Our two families were there for four days and we’re already talking about going back either next winter or even in summer. It was great value even at slightly more distance to skiing than some other places. We’d do it again.

Summary: I cannot say enough about this lovely home and its caretakers Sarah and Brent. The wonderful gourmet kitchen, the cozy living room with a great wood burning fireplace to the bedrooms where the bedding was five star! Thank you. Maureen Kathy Renee Kayla Keri
