Cool Barn renovation with views. 5 mins to hikes, restaurants, fishing and more!
Experience the Manchester area and all it has to offer in our converted barn on 6+ acres. Enjoy the mountain views or walk to Manchester Village. Scenic walks are available nearby. Find great hiking in drives as short as five minutes. Get on the slopes quickly at Bromley, Stratton and Magic Mountain. Mt Snow, Okemo and Killington are all close enough for day skiing. Check out cross-country skiing at Hildene or travel to Wild Wings in Peru and Prospect Mountain in Bennington. Cast your pole at the river down the street. Walk to Equinox for a cocktail around the outdoor fireplace or to the Taconic Hotel to grab a fantastic burger at the Copper Grouse. Walk up the street and treat yourself to one of the area's best meals at The Silver Fork.
Attending a wedding at the Equinox, Ekwanok Country Club, or Hildene? Our property is around the corner from the Equinox and across the street from the Ekwanok. We are a few miles from Hildene.
This converted barn, now a two-story apartment, is framed inside by the barn's original beams. Furnished thoughtfully, guests will encounter vintage rustic and industrial pieces complimented by new and antique mid-century touches. It is a perfect spot for a couple or two friends.
The first floor offers a soaring two-story ceiling, windows from floor to ceiling, and vibrant sunlight. A great room, the first floor has comfortable living and dining spaces, with a small kitchen.
Climb the steps to the very large loft bedroom and find a king bed, a seating nook for reading, a desk for working, a wardrobe, and a dresser. A small, updated, and functional bathroom sits off the master bedroom.
Enjoy multiple seating areas outside including s'mores around the Breeo smokeless wood fire pit.
Please note that the barn shares the 6+ acres with the main house. We may be staying in the house or have renters in the home during your stay. The barn is set off from the house and the property is such that you may never see people that are staying in the house.
We love children (we have four) but we are not comfortable with children under 12 staying in the apartment due to the loft bedroom. If you have children and are looking for a place to stay, please consider our 3-bedroom house. If you're hoping to stay with a larger group, we offer the house and barn for rent together.
Also, please note that per the description there is only one bathroom and it is on the second floor, and that we do NOT have air conditioning in the barn. This property also only accommodates two people.

The barn is beautiful and much more spacious than it looks in the photos. The property the barn is on is also beautiful, a short drive from the town center, and also close to cool sites to visit like the Lincoln House and many amazing hiking trains.
Everything! The barn was beautiful. The snow was beautiful. Manchester is beautiful. It really was a perfect get away. Highly recommended. Actually about the host the power went out one night, briefly, because of local utility work. I contacted the owner. They responded right away with information and actually offered us another place to stay on the same property in case the problem wasn’t resolved. We will seek this space out for another season.
We had a couple of days to explore Manchester before joining another group, and this was the perfect home base - the bedroom was especially lovely, and felt like a spacious loft, private and airy and super comfortable. Our host was responsive and helpful, and it was a short easy drive to town.

The Barn is one of the best STR we have ever stayed at. Perfect for a couple, room enough to spread out. Very tasteful decor and great amenities. Area activities to check out; So Vt Arts Center, Hildene, and a little more of a drive Robert Frost Stone House in Bennington and King Arthur Flour (flagship stire) in Norwich. Favorite restaurant Silver Fork (IMHO one of the best restaurants in New England and the Restaurant at Hill Farm has the best pizza.
We spent an amazing 2 nights at this property! Better than listed!! Beautiful, spacious for 2, comfortable, with outstanding views. Location is super convenient. Host was execellent. Highly recommend!!!
What you got here is the chance to pause, relax and rejuvenate.
Located close, but not too close, to Manchester (VT), this cozy barn...loft is the perfect place to enjoy the best of Vermont. Good food, hiking and skiing spot, a stillness in the air that makes you feel just right.
Highly recommend if you're into settling down and listen to the birds for a few days.
We rented the barn as an overflow space from the main house. The barn has everything you need and is a really cool spot to sit and view the entire property.
My wife and I had a fantastic 2 night stay at this property. The location was convenient to town, though we spent much of the time hanging out around the fire pit on the lawn listening to the stream. The property was extremely peaceful and quiet, and we even had a visit from about a dozen turkeys out on the lawn. The barn is tastefully decorated, and the kitchen is just the perfect size for two. The bed and pillows were very comfortable - we both enjoyed a great night's sleep. We loved that there were staples in the pantry and shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. It made traveling from out of town very convenient. My wife wrote this entire review, but I enjoyed the stay as well!
We stayed at Jean and John's renovated barn for a weekend while we attended a wedding in Manchester. It's a very cool space -- cozy and comfortable with soaring ceilings, gorgeous views and a spacious loft bedroom. Perfect blend of rustic and modern -- with a minimalist Scandinavian feel. The king bed in the loft is super comfortable dressed with soft linens and extra layers if needed. Location is perfect -- private and out of the way but close to town and sights. There were guests staying in the main house while we were there but the distance from the house makes the barn private and quiet. Communication with Jean and John was great and prompt. Check-in/out was easy peasy and the house was sparkling clean with fresh water, condiments, coffee, tea, milk/cream and all the basics for self-catering in the well equipped kitchen. Overall a great experience!
We had a lovely trip! The renovations on this barn are beautiful and stylish. It was well-stocked, easy to navigate, and very comfortable. The bedding was absolutely luxurious. Big king size bed with pillows and comforters galore.
