About this property

The barn that is attached to my 200 year old home was rebuilt in 2019 into an amazing 1 bedroom, 1 bath retreat. It is spacious, well equipped and dreamy. After the full re-build, the barn is now a highly efficient timber-frame hybrid living space using both original, re-claimed materials and the latest in energy-efficient products.

The area is serene and surrounded by beauty yet close to of all types of excitement. There are well maintained hiking trails within walking distance, you can take the ferry to Burlington for restaurants and shopping or hop the train to Montreal. The food movement is in full swing up here and that is another enjoyable attraction. In the town of Essex, there is a wonderful yoga studio, the Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness, several restaurants and interesting history.

The barn is a quiet and private getaway with mountain views, 3.5 miles from Essex and Lake Champlain--comfortable year round, with A/C in the summer and efficient heat and a wood stove for the cold months. The photos say it all!

Amazing. Wouldn't change a thing and wish I were still there!

This place is a unique gem. It was very comfortable, clean, and cozy, and I loved the design and furnishings so much. The location was beautiful and peaceful. It was far enough away to feel like you were getting away yet close enough to amenities, unique stores, Lake Champlain, Burlington, VT, and the Adirondacks to the West. The natural setting was charming, and the friendly goats and hens added to that charm. Audrey was very friendly and the perfect host. I can't thank her enough for letting me stay at her special place, and I hope to visit again.

Great place to recharge

The owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful with information about local activities and restaurants. The cabin was wonderfully appointed and very comfortable. Next time we choose to travel to this lovely region of the Adirondack this will be our accommodations of choice.

A Gem in Essex Countryside!

Refreshing, and Unique! That’s I would describe my stay at Audrey’s cabin. A very well thought out and eclectic decor for a small barn/cabin. There are animals to enjoy, countryside vistas, and you can see great sunsets, Camel’s Hump, Mount Mansfield, VT, across Lake Champlain. The drive there alone is very relaxing. There are several small towns in the area with crafts (Wood, pottery, ironwork), small cafes with local food and nice people to talk to. Very close to the Ferry as well, and 2 hours from Montreal, QC. Started the New Year there, with cool, crisp Winter air. I will definitely plan on returning in different seasons.

What makes this property unique

The whole property is very beautiful, but the remodeled barn is now incredibly special--everything is brand new, while keeping it's old charm and barn feel. Trails surround the property, the lake is there to be used, the ferry to VT is so handy, the antique and historic town of Essex and the mountains all conspire to create a sense of rural peace with modern amenities.
