The Cairn, 1840s Cozy Stone Cottage, Pet Friendly
⭐️ 2022 Rockingham Old House Award ⭐️
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. The Cairn of Vermont is an 1840s stone house located in the sleepy remnants of Bartonsville Village, now part of Chester, VT. 20 minutes to skiing and hiking, biking and the great outdoors are all around you! Less than 5 minutes to Vermont Country Store and make your way home through the Bartonsville Covered Bridge! The space The Cairn has 4 bedrooms- 1 with queen bed and 3 with full size. There is a full bath with laundry downstairs and a half bath upstairs. The Cairn has a small open kitchen-eating-living room with propane (wood) stove. I love children and look forward to hosting them soon with their adults, however that is postponed as of now as the kitchen setup has open shelves on the island which would make it difficult with children. Kitchen rehab coming soon so please check back if you are traveling with your littles!

Family Vacation
This property was exactly as pictured and the owner was quick in communicating with us in both getting needed information to us and responding to any concerns we had. We enjoyed looking up the history of the cottage's stone work and everything about our stay here and in this lovely town. Very charming and well maintained property. We look forward to possibly staying here again if our future travels bring us back through Chester, VT.

Vermont early summer vacation
We love the Cairn. Beautiful, updated stone house on a quiet road with friendly neighbors. The location midway between Belliws Falls and Chester is convenient.

Lovely cottage
Had a wonderful stay and romp in the spring snow. Probably the best appointed kitchen we've experienced so far. House is full of character, quirks and picturesque surroundings as well as thoughtful elements for both humans and canines. Perfect location for exploring, skiing or good old relaxation. Loved the streams, covered bridge and variety of eggs available up and down the road!
