Location: Bennington, Vermont, USA (One block from the Bennington Battle Monument.)

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 7-8)

This lovely three bedroom, two and a half bathroom family home was built in 1828 and is furnished with fine antiques. Located on over two acres of gardens, lawns and meadow, the house is just down the street from the historic Bennington Battle Monument in the Village of Old Bennington.

The first floor has a formal library-styled parlor, perfect for a quiet read. The family room, the original Old Kitchen, has a wood burning fireplace. It is a great place to gather for enjoying a drink and watching the fire or a bit of TV. Meals can be enjoyed in the separate dining room or in the updated kitchen at the antique kitchen table. One bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor. The bedroom has a queen bed and a full bathroom with a tub/shower.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. There is also a cozy T.V. room. One bedroom overlooks the back garden through a big bay window. Both bedrooms have twin beds. The sleeping porch with one twin bed is enclosed and usable throughout the winter. The upstairs full bath has a vintage deep claw-footed tub. A half bath is adjacent to the sleeping porch.

There are many local Bennington attractions, including the Bennington Battle Monument, the Old First Church, where poet Robert Frost is buried, the Bennington Museum, which includes works of the famous primitive artist, Grandma Moses, the Covered Bridge Museum and the Bennington Pottery. Bennington College is only a ten minute drive away, through the Silk Bridge, one of Vermont's remaining working covered bridges.

Bennington is only twenty minutes from Manchester Center and outlet shopping. A twenty minute drive to the south is Williamstown, Massachusetts and the Clark Art Institute. Several ski areas, Stratton Mountain and Bromely, are also within an hour drive. The famous Vermont Country Store, in Weston, Vermont is an easy 45 minute drive.

  • This is a wonderful house, filled with character. We spent many happy hours browsing the amazing collection of books, then sitting on the porch reading and drinking a glass of wine. The garden is lovely and we enjoyed watching the foxes playing in the lower meadow. The house is in a peaceful location, but is within walking distance (less than 10 mins) of a very good restaurant at the Four Chimneys. We are grateful to Lucy and her family for allowing us to stay in their home and would highly recommend it.

  • We just returned from a most enjoyable long weekend(Presidents'Day)stay at Monument House! The home is in a wonderful location, just perfect for great walks! While the neighborhood is residential,you are minutes away from shops,restaurants and an interesting museum. Inside,you will feel most comfortable with cozy places to sit and visit or other inviting spots to catch up on your reading. Plenty of room for our party of 7 adults both young and not-as-young! This lovely home has kept the wonderful details of its past while paying attention to modern amenities! The owner was most helpful and patient with answering my questions and with every step in the rental process! We hope to be fortunate enough to return to Monument House!

  • Monument House proved the perfect headquarters for a mini-family reunion when relatives gathered to celebrate my niece's graduation from Bennington College. Everything about the house is lovely and steeped in history. The battle monument is just one block up the street, and Old North Church, the burial site of poet, Robert Frost, is two blocks in the other direction. In between are beautiful homes, incredible views, and a couple of historical markers to boot. The hostess who owns this property went out of her way to make sure that our stay was all we hoped it would be. We used the fireplace one night, knowing ahead of time where to find wood and how to manage the flue. The kitchen is modern and convenient. Our favorite spot was the beautiful back yard and sitting porch. Flowers bloomed everywhere. A fox trotted by one morning. On another day, we watched from the comfort of the porch as a thunderstorm rolled in. If ever I have the chance to visit Bennington again, I would certainly want to stay at Monument House.

  • We stayed at the house in October 2007 and loved it! The house has a lot of character and was very comfortable. The garden was great! The location close to Bennington Monument and downtown is also great - we would recommend!
