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.

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.

Peaceful oasis

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay. The location was everything the listing said and then some. The peaceful location is rejuvenating as is the hot tub. You will be surrounded by trees and forest. We weren't able to hike the local and property trails due to my unplanned (broke my toe) physical limitations. We thoroughly enjoyed the local feel to area and the local eateries. There is so much beautiful scenery it was impossible to get to all the places we wanted. We will be back. Highly recommend a stay.

Vermont barn

We are originally from the area and had no idea how much it had been built up for a small town. The house was very cozy, and property was perfect for 2 dogs. We had our family of four adults. It was a challenge with one bathroom, but it worked out. We did have some issues with the lighting. The house is dark and could use some brighter lighting in some rooms and near stairs. There are lots of windows for natural light. We didn't take advantage of the hot tub or fire pit. Communication with host was excellent. Heed the warning about Ticks! They were found on both pets and people despite treatments and repellent. Still a very peaceful and enjoyable stay and would recommend for quiet time away.

Rustic Getaway!

had an amazing stay at this beautifully renovated barn in Vermont! The property is stunning, with several acres of land offering breathtaking mountain views. The barn itself is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, with thoughtful details that made the stay extra special. I especially loved the walking trails right on the property—such a peaceful way to start and end the day. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend staying here! The hot tub was a plus!

A Experience

Wife, pup and I had a beautiful and relaxing 3 nite stay on this rustic, unique property. This clean, well thought out home came equipped with all the amenities and if we did need anything, our kind and accommodating host Lars was a phone call or text away. There are a few recommended eateries and breweries nearby, but we were content utilizing the kitchen and enjoying our quiet sanctuary, which included a small network of trails right in the backyard which kept our pup busy. The wooden swing along the trail with the picturesque view is a fabulous touch. Even better... enjoying the hot tub under the stars with a variety of ornamental solar lights twinkling throughout the property was a very cool addition. A very memorable stay which has certainly earned a return visit in the warmer months so we can enjoy more of what beautiful Vermont has to offer. Many thanks, Lars for sharing The Barn and for your A-1 hospitality!

This being our second time to Lar's cabin and certainly will not be our last. The cabin and surrounding property is so relaxing we find it hard to leave to explore the area. The cabin is clean, all the amenities you need and off the beaton path enough to afford you privacy. But close enough to town in case you need it. Thank you Lar's for another wonderful vacation.

Place was amazing very secluded but close enough to get into town and do things. Our longest drive to go do something was only nine minutes away. Everything was as promised. The only issue we had was the back door entry. The hot tub is right there and when we were standing outside watching nature, we saw bees and wasps going underneath the hot tub. so because we were both chickens, we never went into the hot tub. I probably should’ve called the owner to let him know, but I was a little embarrassed, thinking what a big babies we are!!
