The Space:
Welcome home!
This stunningly renovated carriage house, surrounded by rolling green fields, is the perfect launching point for your Vermont vacation. Situated between Quechee and Woodstock, this two-bedroom, two full bath, dog friendly, property will check all the boxes for that classic Vermont country escape: exposed beams, beautiful views, gorgeous barns, and views that constantly change with the seasons. The two bedrooms makes this location easy to share with family or friends - or even just to enjoy a romantic getaway with your loved one. The full kitchen with a farmhouse sink offers guest space to make both delicious meals and lifelong memories. Enjoy the natural wood touches that make this property special and unique.
Must see's
Coming during the summer? Walk across the street to the Quechee River Loop trail, see hot air balloons rise over the Ottauquechee River, or just relax in the Adirondack chairs - fire blazing - with a glass of wine or a cold VT beer while you overlook the calming fields. Whatever you choose to do, the Carriage House is that thoughtfully appointed space you've been waiting for. Like the barn says, come LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE.
