About this property
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 mini-split heating and cooling system to keep you comfortable no matter the weather). 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 house can accommodate up to 7 people depending on the sleeping arrangements. The first 2 guests of the party are not charged an extra guest fee. 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.

Beautiful scenery, very secluded which is perfect, there’s a lot to do in the surrounding towns and farther out especially if you’re looking for museums and art.
Beautiful private property near great shopping and restaurants. Really enjoyed spending time here host was very responsive. Look forward to coming back.
We loved our trip to Shaftsbury. The house was lovely and full of so many fun little details. We loved wandering around the trails on the property with our dog. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't use the grills or the hot tub, but loved that we had the option. Lars was super responsive and helpful. There are a lot of cute restaurants and shops within a 5-10 minute drive and the whole area itself is just beautiful. I would absolutely love to stay here again if we ever plan another trip to the area!
It was a great weekend away, enjoying the coziness of the rustic barn house and the quietness of the country feel. Definitely would consider returning again and spending more time visiting the surrounding areas. The host was spot on and very much easy to communicate with which always makes the process that much more enjoyable and stress free. Oh they have yard bunnies too
Great spot for a weekend getaway. Well stocked kitchen. Wood stove was great keeping the place warm during extreme temps. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Very private too!
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!
House and property are beautiful. Pictures don’t do it justice. Very private and quiet yet close to restaurants and stores. House was immaculate and the old beams and the wood from the original barn really adds to the charm.
The hosts have really done a wonderful job in their barn conversion. Every area of it is cozy and warm, and put together rather nicely. The antiques on the wall and the bathtub with a large window to look out at the expansive property made it feel especially homey. It was also a really thoughtful touch to provide wood, as there are so many places around the property to light a great fire, both inside and out.
