The Barn Retreat – a meticulously renovated space with a rustic vibe is filled with exceptional features that will make your stay unforgettable. Step into the cozy embrace of the expansive great room, my personal favorite, where you can gather with friends by the inviting fireplace. The exposed timber frames and rustic shiplap walls create a warm ambiance that's perfect for relaxation. Enjoy the spacious yard as the soothing sounds of a babbling brook create a year-round serenade. Whether you're seeking cherished moments with family, friends, or a romantic escape, The Barn Retreat caters to all occasions. Many of our guests have also found it to be an ideal home away from home, perfect for living, working, and playing.

The upper level offers an open loft space with a Full Bed, twin bed, and bunk beds. The master bedroom conveniently connects to a Full bathroom, which also serves as the main floor bathroom.

Great stay!
Location was great. The converted barn served our needs well. We had 4 total that stayed there (my wife and I, and our 2 grown children) and there was plenty of room. (The loft area could have easily served 5 more people). Furniture was comfortable and dining seating was good. Recommended for stays in southern Vermont!
