The Farmstead
Weatherhead Hollow is located in Guilford, Vermont where the Sokoki tribe of the Western Abenakis once lived. The Historical Society of Windham County reports that “In 1600 as many as 10,000 western Abenaki inhabited modern day Vermont and New Hampshire, depending on seasonal hunting and fishing, gathering and some agriculture.” Several local organizations are committed to understanding the past and how it relates to where Vermonters live today – learn more from The Atowi Project, and Vermont Abenaki Artists Association.
The Farmhouse at Weatherhead Hollow was built in 1792 when Guilford was considered the largest town in the State of Vermont.

Weatherhead Hollow is a historic and thoughtfully restored farmstead built for artist residencies, country getaways, events and weddings. We share glimpses of life at the farmstead – across seasons, gatherings, and quiet moments – on Instagram @weatherheadhollowfarmstead.
The Founders
Daniel Kornguth and Katherine Partington became owners of the farmstead in 2012, and worked closely with the State of Vermont and Town of Guilford to thoughtfully restore the property through Daniel’s full service construction company, Plumb Level Square.
Katherine and Daniel designed and built Weatherhead Hollow for artist residencies, country getaways, events and weddings. Their interior design work for the Weatherhead Hollow farmstead was featured in atHOME New England Magazine, and the 1792 farmhouse is featured in the book, Create the Style You Crave: The Sweet Spot Guide to Home Decor.
The farmstead’s overnight accommodations have earned over 250 five-star reviews on Airbnb for offering exceptional Vermont country getaways. They’ve been awarded the “Guest Favorite” status for being some of the most loved vacation getaways on Airbnb since 2016.
Today, Katherine and Daniel continue to care for and host the farmstead, welcoming guests and celebrations with the same intention and respect for place that guided its restoration. Bartleby, a sweet German Shorthaired Pointer, joined the team in 2021 as a puppy and is now the resident friend to all including birds, butterflies, and bunnies.
