About this property
Cozy Converted Barn on Secluded 6.5 acres with Hot Tub
Spend the month, week or weekend in a beautiful rustic converted barn on 6.5 very private sunny country acres with southerly long-range views of Mt. Anthony and the Bennington Monument. Wander the park-like trails through 4 acres of old apple orchard and woodland. Enjoy a soak under the stars in a 6-person hot-tub with total privacy. Why get a bed and breakfast when you can have a house and land all to yourself? This vacation rental is located in southwestern Vermont, less than 12 minutes from downtown Bennington (but still feels very quiet and secluded). Pick apples, bird-watch, and view other wildlife like deer, grouse, wild turkeys, rabbits, Lynx, and Bob-cats. Excellent fly fishing on the nearby Battenkill river. Attend the summer horse shows in nearby Manchester. Enjoy the world-famous Vermont fall foliage. Watch the flowers bloom in the spring. Ski or snowshoe in the winter. Enjoy a bon-fire in the back-yard. Five major ski areas are located within an hour's drive. House is fully furnished and has slate shower, bear-claw bath tub, NEW gas cooking stove (top end model), microwave, refrigerator, dish washer, bread maker, waffle maker, cable, DVD/VCR, and wireless internet, plus two wood stoves and free wood to keep you warm at night (There's also central air heating and a mini-split heating and cooling system to keep you comfortable no matter the weather). There's a large downstairs master bedroom with its own gas stove/fireplace for ambiance and extra heat. There is a living room, dining area, and another small room that could sleep 2 with large electric blowup mattress on site. A spiral staircase leads up to a large loft with a full-sized spring mattress futon. There's also a love seat that pulls out into a double size bed. The house can accommodate up to 7 people depending on the sleeping arrangements. The first 2 guests of the party are not charged an extra guest fee. The barnhouse was actually part of a large picturesque Vermont farm just up the dirt road (and view-able from some parts of the property) until it was rolled down on logs and converted into a house some years ago.

This property is absolutely gorgeous inside and out! It is very secluded with beautiful grounds, the inside is bigger than I was expecting and perfectly decorated to give off the secluded mountain cabin vibe, plus the wood stove is perfect. Lars was extremely nice and easy to communicate with, we will definitely stay again!
It’s hard to describe how lovely, cozy, unique and peaceful this place is. It’s the perfect spot for slow mornings with coffee and a spectacular view, wooded paths to explore, a cozy campfire, and star-gazing from the hot tub. Lars is a thoughtful and responsive host who has anticipated every need and question. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed. Plenty of space. The hot tub was definitely a plus. Lars was very helpful and got back to us right away. I highly recommend !!!
This was such a special trip. My fiancé, my parents, our two dogs, and I went up for the new year and had such a pleasant time. The house was clean, comfortable, and located within an hour of Stratton Mountain! Lars was fantastic with accommodation and communication. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
had an amazing stay at this beautifully renovated barn in Vermont! The property is stunning, with several acres of land offering breathtaking mountain views. The barn itself is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, with thoughtful details that made the stay extra special. I especially loved the walking trails right on the property—such a peaceful way to start and end the day. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend staying here! The hot tub was a plus!
What an amazing place Lars shared with us for a few days. What a peaceful and fun place- very homey! We enjoyed watching the rabbits and the bear wandering the property from the spacious hot tub- great ways to enjoy any evening. Thanks again
This being our second time to Lar's cabin and certainly will not be our last. The cabin and surrounding property is so relaxing we find it hard to leave to explore the area.
The cabin is clean, all the amenities you need and off the beaton path enough to afford you privacy. But close enough to town in case you need it. Thank you Lar's for another wonderful vacation.
Had a wonderful stay - well equipped with everything one would need for a confortable stay. The location is very private and quiet yet short driving distance to groceries, restaurants, gyms and other services. Great base for all types of outdoor activities. Lars, the owner is very responsive. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay at the converted barn! It was completely private and super quiet. The hot tub was great, and I have never seen so many stars in my life! The house was very beautiful and felt like a home, we loved taking a look at all the decor. By the time our trip was coming to an end, we were super sad... we never wanted to leave! I would definitely return to Lars' place!!
The property was exactly as described ! A cozy, well appointed converted barn on beautiful 6+acres of land - very comfortable and loved the amenities like the fire pit and the hot tub . Lars was fantastic to work with - great communication and made sure we had everything we needed for a nice stay. Thank you for a great weekend!
The Vermont barn is chock-full of interesting farm implements and antique furniture. The master queen bed is supremely comfortable, the bath well-stocked with towels and anything else you might need. There are candles everywhere! Lots of high quality appliances. Photos imply the spaces are larger than actual, but photo detail is accurate. Host is very responsive, considerate, and helpful.
What a perfect property! So close to town, yet amazingly quiet and private. My husband and I booked our stay to enjoy the Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival in Manchester, so we spent most of our stay off the property, but we loved returning at night to peace & quiet, and enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. We did a lot of bird watching (we live on the ocean so we don’t get much more than seagulls and pelicans!). We also explored the trails around the property as well. Lars did an EXCEPTIONAL job making sure we didn’t need anything. Highly recommend!!
Place was amazing very secluded but close enough to get into town and do things. Our longest drive to go do something was only nine minutes away. Everything was as promised. The only issue we had was the back door entry. The hot tub is right there and when we were standing outside watching nature, we saw bees and wasps going underneath the hot tub. so because we were both chickens, we never went into the hot tub. I probably should’ve called the owner to let him know, but I was a little embarrassed, thinking what a big babies we are!!
Wife, pup and I had a beautiful and relaxing 3 nite stay on this rustic, unique property. This clean, well thought out home came equipped with all the amenities and if we did need anything, our kind and accommodating host Lars was a phone call or text away. There are a few recommended eateries and breweries nearby, but we were content utilizing the kitchen and enjoying our quiet sanctuary, which included a small network of trails right in the backyard which kept our pup busy. The wooden swing along the trail with the picturesque view is a fabulous touch. Even better... enjoying the hot tub under the stars with a variety of ornamental solar lights twinkling throughout the property was a very cool addition. A very memorable stay which has certainly earned a return visit in the warmer months so we can enjoy more of what beautiful Vermont has to offer. Many thanks, Lars for sharing The Barn and for your A-1 hospitality!
We fell in love with this extremely private converted barn. It was private and in the country but minutes from attractions, restaurants and shopping. Lars is an amazing host and very responsive. We were lucky enough to have a clear and starry night for one of our hot tub nights. We had a fire and sat on the rockling glider bench equipped with cup holders as we browned our marshmallows for our S'mores. The wild rabbits welcomed us home after our adventures during the day and when we arrived. There is a Keurig, so bring your k-cups! There is also a regular coffee maker. The washes and dryer made it nice to clean our clothes and bring less with us. This truly was an amazing area of Vermont we had never been to and we will be back!
Not only does this place have the ultimate cozy cabin feel it also has so much character. From the stained glass and funky cabin decor to the claw foot tub and incredibly comfortable mattress of the log frame bed. The wood stoves create so much warmth and ambiance but there is also the option for central heat which is nice too. My husband and I stayed with our 2 college aged boys for a few days of skiing at Mt Snow and Okemo. The boys had plenty of room to sleep between the comfy futon and high quality inflatable mattress or couches. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing, the star gazing beautiful. The town of Bennington is 5 min away with restaurants/market but other towns less than 20 min away offer amenities as well. The host, Lars was incredibly helpful, patient and accommodating. Great communication! We would like to come back in the warmer months too as the property and location are a perfect Vermont destination!
