About this property

We are pleased to once again offer our ever-popular home-away-from-home, fully-appointed, secluded guest apartment with full kitchen, laundry, and private entrance. Newly added: propane "wood" stove! Queen bedroom, king bed in large alcove off living room, and comfy (no kidding) double pull-out sofa in recently redecorated and enlarged LR. (NOTE: Maximum 4 adults.) Fully stocked kitchen/DR combination with all appliances including dishwasher and microwave. Entrance is through a heated mudroom storage for skis, boots, and all manner of sports gear. Bathroom with double shower, washer and dryer. Large closets, cable TV, DVD, CD stereo. Fenced in brick courtyard for outdoor grilling / dining and just-added private fire pit around the corner next to the newly-installed deck and hot tub. Pool in season. Second apartment available for additional guests.

Convenient to Williamstown, MA (6 miles) and to Bennington, VT (6 miles); both with scores of recreational, entertainment, culinary, and cultural venues. Many agri-tourism opportunities, farm-to-table dining, world class art galleries and cultural venues, superb hiking and river rafting and boating, top drawer theater festival, and regional theater, an authentic drive-in theater AND a destination diner.

Where else can you stay and choose to go to Saratoga Raceway one day, hear the Boston Symphony (or James Taylor) at Tanglewood the next, go white-water kayaking on the Battenkill after that, then see a Broadway touring company at Proctors one night and a first run production at the WTF the next, hike the AT the next day and maybe even the day after that (we have two access points), and then wrap it all up with a shopping spree at one of TWO premium outlet centers? There is so much to do here, if you spent the entire summer, you couldn't do it all.

Dog permitted under certain circumstances. Please request the Doggie Dos and Don'ts and tell us something about your pet!

Good place for a weekend getaway

Property was clean and everything was as listed. Good value for the $ compared to other nearby places. We never received the information from the property owner re: code to get in, but when I called, she was very responsive and got the onsite manager there within minutes. Great location for activities in nearby Bennington, VT, as well as Williamstown and N. Adams, Mass.

Lovely property

We loved staying here! The place was spotless, comfortable and well stocked. There was a small issue with the lockbox when we arrived, but after a quick phone call Sandy arrived and all was well. The location is great - we visited both the Clark and MassMoca while we were there. Of course, it was wonderful to have the hot tub. The pool looked inviting, but the weather was too cold and damp for us to take advantage of it. Would happily stay here again.

Lovely location. A lovely home, a lovely setting, no real Gem of a place.

We we're close to Bennington and to Williamstown. We loved getting in the hot tub for 15 to 20 minutes each night.

Great stay

The place was perfect for us. There were 3 beds all clean. The pool and hot tub were great. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere but things aren’t a that far of a drive from there. I will definitely keep this place in mind for future.

About the host

Hosted by Pat

What can I say? We are creatives who love the beauty and serenity of this place. We spent our adult lives in Fairfield County CT with a 8-year sabbatical in Vermont, and looked for a location that would not only fulfill our space requirements but meet our emotional needs as well. We share our environment with Molly McDuff a happy. over-enthusiastic hound/herder/wolf mix! We've always loved one-of-a-kind places, and this definitely fits the bill. We no longer live full-time in Vermont but you will occasionally find we welcome you in person.

Why they chose this property

Well, this is more than a vacation rental; it's an entire lifestyle. Pownal Valley is probably one of the most beautiful in all of Vermont. Rolling limestone mountains might not make for double black diamond ski runs but they do make for fabulous vistas. Our views are without challenge anywhere throughout New England. Our complex is convenient to Route 7 but our guests ALL say the property feels totally private and peaceful.

We moved here full-time in January of 2007. In a portion of our barn complex we operated a commercial photo studio and a craft gallery and later added a homemade ice cream service. Personal events caused us to move back to Connecticut where we can be helpful to our family and pursue some other interests, although we are the fill-in workers in a state that often experiences labor shortages. In the meantime, you can continue to enjoy our beautiful Vermont property.

What makes this property unique

This is all about peace and relaxation; and not a partying place by any stretch. For our rental guests: Fenced in courtyard for grilling and dining. Fire pit for ghost stories and s'mores. a private hot tub for soaking those aching bones. Full-length lap pool for a leisurely swim or a good workout. AND a large flat, safe yard for kids and dogs to play!

Oh, did I mention there are about a million things to do around here?
