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.

Place was amazing very secluded but close enough to get into town and do things. Our longest drive to go do something was only nine minutes away. Everything was as promised. The only issue we had was the back door entry. The hot tub is right there and when we were standing outside watching nature, we saw bees and wasps going underneath the hot tub. so because we were both chickens, we never went into the hot tub. I probably should’ve called the owner to let him know, but I was a little embarrassed, thinking what a big babies we are!!

We loved our stay at the converted barn! It was completely private and super quiet. The hot tub was great, and I have never seen so many stars in my life! The house was very beautiful and felt like a home, we loved taking a look at all the decor. By the time our trip was coming to an end, we were super sad... we never wanted to leave! I would definitely return to Lars' place!!

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.

Cozy, comfy and beautiful.
Not only does this place have the ultimate cozy cabin feel it also has so much character. From the stained glass and funky cabin decor to the claw foot tub and incredibly comfortable mattress of the log frame bed. The wood stoves create so much warmth and ambiance but there is also the option for central heat which is nice too. My husband and I stayed with our 2 college aged boys for a few days of skiing at Mt Snow and Okemo. The boys had plenty of room to sleep between the comfy futon and high quality inflatable mattress or couches. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing, the star gazing beautiful. The town of Bennington is 5 min away with restaurants/market but other towns less than 20 min away offer amenities as well. The host, Lars was incredibly helpful, patient and accommodating. Great communication! We would like to come back in the warmer months too as the property and location are a perfect Vermont destination!

Perfect Southern Vermont Getaway!
We fell in love with this extremely private converted barn. It was private and in the country but minutes from attractions, restaurants and shopping. Lars is an amazing host and very responsive. We were lucky enough to have a clear and starry night for one of our hot tub nights. We had a fire and sat on the rockling glider bench equipped with cup holders as we browned our marshmallows for our S'mores. The wild rabbits welcomed us home after our adventures during the day and when we arrived. There is a Keurig, so bring your k-cups! There is also a regular coffee maker. The washes and dryer made it nice to clean our clothes and bring less with us. This truly was an amazing area of Vermont we had never been to and we will be back!

A slice of HEAVEN!
What a perfect property! So close to town, yet amazingly quiet and private. My husband and I booked our stay to enjoy the Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival in Manchester, so we spent most of our stay off the property, but we loved returning at night to peace & quiet, and enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. We did a lot of bird watching (we live on the ocean so we don’t get much more than seagulls and pelicans!). We also explored the trails around the property as well. Lars did an EXCEPTIONAL job making sure we didn’t need anything. Highly recommend!!

Star gaze from the Hot tub
The converted barn is rustic, yet comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with nice upgrades. You can soak in the bathtub while watching the birds from a massive picture window. The bedroom was huge with a very comfortable bed. We took advantage of the cozy wood stove. The outdoor property has acres to explore through pathways through the woods and benches to stop and enjoy the tranquility. Best of all, the private hot tub that can be enjoyed morning or night.

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.

Quiet Getaway
My wife and I both needed to disconnect and unwind after a very busy start to the year. We looked for cabins in Vermont. and the pictures seemed to match what we were looking for. We arrived, and found EXACTLY what the pictures and the description offered. Lars was very informative and helpful, and checked in to ensure we were ok with everything. The entire stay was exactly what we both needed. The trails around the property were really fun to explore. The one other thing I liked was the lack of TVs in the living room and bedroom. This really helped us to digitally detox for the week as well. Thanks again Lars!
