The space
Hathaway House is situated on the site of the original Hathaway horse farm, which dates to the mid nineteenth century. It looks west over our 10 acre open field property and out onto the Green Mountains. You won’t believe the views at sunset —and might even catch a hot air balloon floating there (or landing in our field!). This is peaceful retreat with spa-like amenities, breath-taking views and close to everything in the Upper Valley of Vermont. Hathaway’s extremely high ceilings , windows on all sides, and position at the top of the hill keep it cool in the summer (with new window ACs in bedrooms as insurance against the very few warm nights). We have not had a complaint yet! While the fireplace, radiant heat floors, and 4 zone baseboard- heating system keep it cosy all winter.

You enter the house into a spacious mudroom with built-in storage to handle ski equipment and shoes. The nucleus of the house is off to the left: the original 1850s enormous barn that holds 2 seating areas, a huge flat screen TV, ping pong table, foos ball, tons of games, & access to the sauna. The barn room opens onto the huge deck with 2 grills and the hot tub and a view of the Green Moiuntains.

To the right of the mudroom, you can find the recent renovation which added amenities that transformed Hathaway House into a 4000 square foot modern farmhouse. Here you will find our great room with a fireplace and fully stocked chef's kitchen. Relax before the view of the mountains and fire. Or tuck in for quiet reading on the adjacent 3-season screened porch. Or decide to get some work done before dinner in the separate study next to the great room, accessed through a set of pocket doors. EC FIBER INTERNET arrived plus a whole house back up generator.

Upstairs Hathaway house boasts two primary bedrooms: each is very large with lovely views and a queen size bed, new mattresses, and en suite bathrooms (one of which includes a giant soaking tub for two!) A third cosy bedroom holds a new full mattress and completes the second floor.

Upstairs you will find access to the 4th bedroom on floor 2.5 : a 2-level room tucked high away in the former hay loft of the barn. This space is very large and feels private but opens onto the barn. It is set up with a queen bed on the top level and a trundle single bed in the lower lounge area that also contains a desk, couch, bean bags, and a smaller second new smart TV.
