Wonderful, 3Br, 2.5 bath, very well equipped historical home in the Village of Arlington. Just 8 miles from Manchester and 12miles from Bennington, this lovely property is a great place to stay if you want to enjoy the many activities southwestern Vermont offers.

Known as GRAENEST TOO to us, we have furnished the house with family antiques, comfortable bedding and linens and a full equipped kitchen including a washer and dryer. The little town of Arlington has a variety of eating places to choose from including the Arlington Inn which is within walking distance. A church, the library, a 7-11 are also within walking distance.

Our property looks out at the mountains and the Battenkill River, and has lovely gardens. Just across the street is the Arlington Rec Center which offers Par 3 golf, tennis, baseball, swimming, nature walk, access to the River, cross country skiing, skating and snow shoeing.

Our house has three bedrooms, two with queen-sized beds and one with two twins. We have a modern full bath and another full bath with an old fashion claw foot tub. One queen bedroom is a suite with a full bath. The first floor has a huge living room with fireplace, closed in porch, cozy library with lots of books, tapes and DVD's for rainy days. We also have a good sized dining room and a large kitchen with breakfast bar and separate bar sink.

Just down the road is the Shaftsbury State Park with a great beach for swimming and picnicking. The Manchester area, just a short drive north on 7A, offers tons of shopping, restaurants, the Vermont Horse show in July and early August, the Southern Vermont Art Center, Hildene (Robert Todd Lincoln's Home.)
