About this property

Charming Converted Horse Barn

Lots of Vermont charm in this home! The bedrooms were originally horse stalls and kids just love that magic! Fully stocked kitchen, Franklin stove as well as central heat & a/c.. Large basement contains a ping-pong table + washer and dryer & small fridge. Outdoors, a very large area of mowed grass creates room for lawn games like badminton & even sledding in the winter! Crystal Beach is up the road and the lake marina is great for renting a boat or there is a site for launching your own. Indoors there is a game closet for rainy days. Very Family friendly home!

NOTE:This home is NOT located on the Lake but is nearby :)

The property was extremely well stocked with many extras in the kitchen and the bathroom. The living room was very comfortable. The wood stove and the fact that the wood was supplied was a real treat for us. It's a wonderful place to get away and to chill from the busyness of everyday life

Perfect Castleton Weekend Spot

This was our third stay here! Check in was a breeze! Lots of space for everyone! Such a cozy spot- we love the wood burning stove. And having a big, well-equipped kitchen for Castleton tailgating prep is fantastic. And the pingpong table downstairs is always a hit!

Lake Bomoseen Winter Retreat

Adorable converted horse barn with vestiges of the original use still visible in the converted space (stable doors which were really cool). Very cozy for a couple dog but also plenty of space for a larger group if desired. The surrounding area was very quiet in the wintertime but within close range of lots of great hiking, antiquing, and craft beer drinking.

Our stay in the "barn"

We were pleased with ability to walk on a country road, and have a beach close by. The accommodations were perfect for the group we had. The stairs were a bit steep. We enjoyed the firepit every evening.

Christmas in Vermont

The barn we very clean. The hot water was almost instant, we stayed nice and warm, we even had a couple inches of snow Christmas Eve. Every room was spacious, the warm bathroom was a bonus! It was in the 20's during our 4 day stay. The Plow cleaned the driveway the very next day. Lots of ambience and relaxing place to stay.

Comfortable stay with all the amenities of home

This was the perfect setting to spend a quiet and relaxed New Year's holiday with my friend. The features of the old barn provide great charm and the house is stocked with all the necessities in both the kitchen and bathroom. The wood stove and outdoor fire pit provide the ambiance for relaxed evenings. The house is close to great hiking trails at Bomoseen State Park and a quick drive to Rutland. I'll definitely look to book this property when I'm back in the area and I would highly recommend it to anybody else traveling to the area.

Our Fave Spot!

We have stayed at Alison’s charming converted stable numerous times and it has become a family tradition. It is quaint and well-kept. The location is ideal for us. We love taking a walk up the road to visit Comet the pig (and sometimes bring a few table scraps for him)! Alison has always been pleasant and responds promptly whenever we have questions. She has immediately addressed any concerns we have had, so I feel no need to list any minor issues. We will surely be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Alison

Host profile image
We bought the home as a weekend retreat.. Our family enjoyed Winter weekends skiing Killington & Pico and Summer at the beach, fishing on the lake, playing badminton and entertaining family friends who came to visit.

Why they chose this property

It is a one-of-a-kind property and we fell in love with the idea of a horse barn being converted to a residence! It struck us as so reflective of historic Vermont. The property size of 3+ acres also appealed to us as a 'playground' for our boys. We played baseball & badminton in the Summer and went sledding in the Winter and it was a great place to invite friends to visit.

What makes this property unique

Just about everything you need for a vacation is there and you have a choice of so many things to do, either on site or sight-seeing around Vermont. It is also such a comfortable place to 'hang out'. There is a fireplace for cool days, plenty of room to play in the basement or outdoors + there is always Wi-Fi and TV.
