Stunningly beautiful guest house

We had a wonderful time at this cozy renovated barn/guest house. We enjoyed visiting local towns to see colorful fall foliage. The house is super clean, well appointed, and cozy. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and the setting was extremely quiet and peaceful! The hosts were super helpful and kind. We would love to visit again!

The Perfect Weekend Spot for Skiing

This location was everything we were hoping for for a 2 night stay in southern Vermont. Close to skiing at Bromley and exploring the Manchester area. Property is beautiful, quiet and this restored barn is perfectly situated for a family of four. Hosts Tatyanna and Michael were very gracious and accommodating. Definitely would consider staying here again.

Amazing VT Guesthouse

The Spruce Guesthouse was our home away form home this ski season and we enjoyed every minute. Clean and cozy, tucked away in the woods; we loved the wood burning stove, comfortable beds and newly remodeled bathrooms. Close to Stratton, Bromley, Magic, Okemo and Killington - we hit them all. Also enjoyed the town of Peru (JJ Hapgood's and Bromley Market are favorite spots for breakfast / lunch / provisions) and proximity to Manchester is a bonus. Tatyanna and Michael are attentive and gracious hosts. We hope to visit again soon!

Perfect cozy Stratton retreat

Wonderfully kept property just 20mins from Stratton mountain base. Owners were very responsive and accommodating every request. Truly a gem! Every detail is thought about, and had some intense games of backgammon on the couch! We shared the accommodations witha family of 4 (2 children 8 & 10) as well as another couple. Worked out great, and plenty of space for us all to relax after a long day of skiing. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Beautiful stay in Vermont!

We had a wonderful stay and experience at Tatyanna and Michael’s beautifully renovated barn in Peru. The property and barn were very clean and very well maintained. We loved the comfortable, welcoming vibe of the decor and enjoyed the quiet surroundings. It’s very close to Manchester, Bromley mountain and other hiking,/skiing areas. We did this as an adult getaway, but the bunk room would be perfect for kids. Tatyanna was very communicative and available for any questions we had. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Cozy, restful home base

Returning to the Spruce Guest House after a long day of activities was the most welcome transition. There as several areas to spread out and get comfortable, which makes it perfect for a family or small group. Clean and thoughtfully appointed, with lovely little touches at every turn, such as nice bath products, cozy throws, popping corn and board games. It was so nice to have all the comforts of home such as laundry and well stocked kitchen cabinets. The beds are comfy, the climate controls work perfectly, and I haven’t slept that soundly in ages. We will definitely be back!!

A gem in Southern Vermont

The house is nestled in a woodland setting. We used it as a romantic getaway over Columbus Day weekend and as a base camp for hiking and biking excursions. It was spotless. We loved the decor, a mixture of rustic and modern. Everything about it was welcoming, including a little goody bag. There was a generous supply of coffee and the kitchen well supplied for us to make a couple of meals. Our only need of the owners was help in finding the place(!), and Tatyanna and John were lovely. Our highest recommendation.

Nice Stay

Overall, a very nice stay at this lovely property. The hosts were very nice and communicated very well. A couple of cleaning issues, but nothing to take away from our stay. A couple of things of note. The property does not have a microwave, which is a bit different. We also thought that the listing showed a washer and dryer, but we did not see it in the rental. The TV in the loft was good to have, but the seating is very hard for adults, so watching can be a challenge (comfort wise). The setting of the home is beautiful.

Wonderful family getaway!

Our family of 5 decided to visit Vermont in the Fall and are lucky to have found this property! It exceeded our expectations in terms of staying in a wooded and secluded spot, while being close to multiple towns and activities. The owners were very responsive to our questions and provided some wonderful suggestions (hikes, farms, activities) for our kids ages. If we could could give more than 5 stars we would!

We loved our stay here!

We had a great time at Michael and Tatyanna’s beautiful property. The renovated guest barn was perfect for our family of 5, our three young kids loved the bunk bed room and the rest of the guest barn was decorated beautifully and was pristine. Tatyanna and Michael were very responsive to all of our questions and were very welcoming. Great location, super close to Bromley and about 15 minutes to Stratton and shopping area of Manchester. We loved our stay and would definitely come back!

Wonderful Winter Weekend Getaway

My wife and another couple had a wonderful winter weekend getaway at the Spruce Guest House. First off, the house is amazingly chic. Very updated bathrooms and rooms with a modern Scandinavian feel to them. Great location, you feel that you are really set in the woods, but less than 5 min away from a great country store, less than 10 min to Bromley Mountain, and maybe 15 min to Manchester. We were able to do everything we wanted around town and still come back to our cozy home at the end of the day/night. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a secluded but great access location in VT.

Wonderful VT Experience

VT is our 'happy place" and this property enhanced every part of it. We brought our two teenagers to SKI for a few days, and the location in Peru is perfect. The converted barn has a very clean, modern, chic and zen feeling to it. Tatyanna is wonderful host!
