Incredible converted barn made such an atmospheric place to stay after hiking the green mountains with our dog. All was clean and worked really well. We really enjoyed sitting by the huge fireplace every evening - we’d return immediately if we could!

The barn was the perfect mix of comfort and rustic! All the amenities of home in an old Vermont barn. Delightfully creaky floors, warm fireplace, beautiful views and the ability for lifelong friends to gather and spend time together. Host was in contact and checked in occasionally to see if we needed anything. Definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Barn by the creek

We loved our stay at the barn. Listening to the creek was so relaxing. Plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and relax. The barn was close enough to civilization to get things if we needed them. The owners were available and communicated well. All questions, comments and concerns were addressed immediately. We would totally stay here again.

Wonderful four weeks!

We really enjoyed the barn. It was comfortable & had everything we needed. Our grandchildren enjoyed the foosball table & playing Cornhole outside. Hearing the brook all day was very relaxing. The hosts were very attentive & checked in with us to make sure that everything was ok. We found many good restaurants, farmers markets & parks in the area.

Family and Friends getaway

The stay at the barn was fantastic. Very warm and cozy . For those who think staying in a restored barn was drafty , not at all , it's very well insulated and it was 31 degrees outside. The fire place was awesome with plenty of wood. Dave and Loretta were very accommodating and easily assessable . It's beautifully decorated with some antiques which we enjoyed . Highly recommend .

This cozy cabin has all the rustic charm you want in a beautiful New England getaway. Beds were comfy. 2 rooms downstairs and a big loft with 2 bunk beds and a double bed. Well equipped and the owners are very responsive. It was a great place for a long weekend away and we plan to return!

Great stay!

Location was great. The converted barn served our needs well. We had 4 total that stayed there (my wife and I, and our 2 grown children) and there was plenty of room. (The loft area could have easily served 5 more people). Furniture was comfortable and dining seating was good. Recommended for stays in southern Vermont!

A Great Weekend Getaway

The Barn was wonderful. We experienced some FREEZING cold temperatures and were so relieved that the Barn wasn't drafty and in fact, was super cozy and being able to build a fire was a real treat. My only knock would be that there wasn't a driveway and being that close to the road was sometimes loud. Beyond that, the Barn was perfect and I would definitely recommend staying there again.

Love this unique remolded barn. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Nice host to deal with. Only thing was most all outlets had extensions cords everywhere so our CP machine would work. I would recommend this house any time.
