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 portable air-conditioner if needed). 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 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.

A beautiful place to stay!
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!

Holiday Getaway
We were looking for a place that the two of us and our pup could go and getaway for Christmas, but with a hot tub. We weren't disappointed. It was everything that was pictured and more. Would we go again? Yes! We are hoping to make it an annual pilgrimage.

Perfect getaway!
A great thank you to Lars for an absolutely perfect getaway for my family. The place was amazingly clean, property was stunning, and all was just right for a fantastic few days, right down to the books and toys for the little one.

Quaint Vermont Barn
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!

Woodland paradise and a welcoming host
Myself, my spouse and another couple spend every new years at a cabin in upstate New York, and this year decided to try Vermont. i’m so glad we did! the property was absolutely beautiful, secluded, and well-stocked. The area has plenty to do, and Lars was a fantastic and communicative host. Hope to return again soon.

Barn YEA!
One of the nicest places we've stayed at. Convenient location, but with lots of privacy. We used the fire pit twice. We heard owls and turkeys and watched bats flying over. The night sky was clear with lots of stars. The living room and bedroom were large and comfortable.

FANTASTIC!
Great property! The house is cozy and warm with a fantastic wood stove. I love everything about this place, it is well stocked with all the basics and an awesome hot tub. The grounds are wonderful to wonder around or just to hang out and enjoy the silence of the outdoors. Communication with the host was easy and we booked it again for another stay. Thank you Lars for sharing this special place with us and we are looking forward to our next stay!

Secluded and private
This place was the perfect quiet getaway vacation destination perfect for a couple. The interior of the barn is very tastefully adorned with old rustic curiosities and dark wooden beams. The yard surrounding the house is expansive and secluded because it is surrounded by dense forest on all sides. Lars was an attentive host. I recommend this place because it is very chill and peaceful.

A beautifully restored barn, modern kitchen and loads of charming details. This coupled with a hot tub made for a fun sister’s weekend getaway! Lars was a helpful and responsive host & there were plenty of area attractions to entertain us when we weren’t enjoying a relaxing day together at Lar’s home. Thank you for helping make a special trip for us come together so smoothly!

Art getaway
My partner and I took a trip here to relax, play and make art. The spot was perfect with lots of eclectic art through the house and property. Loved the little trails! My only concern was how dry the house was.. especially with the wood stove on. The salt water in the hot tub was a wonderful surprise.

Antique lover's paradise
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.

Amazing!
We booked this sweet place to celebrate our engagement we were not disappointed! beautifully restored, well-appointed, and just darling to unwind in front of the fire and relax. Lars could not have been more helpful and communicative, and stayed in touch to make sure we didn’t need additional help from him, as during our time there a significant amount of snow was predicted. A wonderful memory, and we hope to return in another season to visit again!
