About this property

Remodeled Barn in Champlain Valley, Essex, NY

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.

I now raise Norwegian Fjord Horses on the property and they love visitors! The farm 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 the Town of 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!

A truly unique property. From the moment we saw the patio to the walk to the upstairs bedroom, we were in Awe!!! Tastefully decorated, workable kitchen, anything you could beed in a rental and more. Surrounding area and views were terrific. Loved walking to the barn and seeing the animals. We loved the goat. Sheer delight and entertainment. All appliances and bedding were top notch. I wished we had another few days there. This lovely rental is perfection. Audrey was very responsive and helpful to us and willingly answered all our questions!

Everything about this stay was incredible. The photos don't actually do the barn justice and the photos are pretty nice! This is the best appointed rental we've ever stayed in. Audrey was a great host, full of local knowledge and extremely accommodating. Would recommend time and time again!

Audrey is the consummate host, and her place is simply delightful! Audrey was responsive and very easy to communicate with throughout both the booking process and during our stay. She even had a fire started in the wood-fired stove upon our arrival. The home is comfortable and tastefully appointed with well-curated home decor. The remodeled barn is cozy and welcoming! This is our 2nd visit at Audrey’s farm. Our last visit was 4-5 years ago, and we stayed in the main house, which is larger and equally delightful. This 1BR apartment had ample space for relaxing, and a large en suite bedroom. The views from the barn are spectacular; be sure to wake up to see the sunrise!

We went up for a family wedding and stayed in this beautiful restored barn in Essex. The house was beautiful and very comfortable, pet friendly and has great views. Nearby hiking and near the waterfront town of Essex where you can get a ferry to Vermont. Would highly recommend

Audrey's barn, located in the beautiful Champlain Valley, offers stunning sunrise views and beautiful mountain scenery minutes from Lake Champlain. It provided the perfect peaceful retreat after full days of family reunion activities. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and baking equipment. Audrey made us feel right at home and graciously accommodated our needs.

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.

Lovely, relaxing stay

The property is beautiful, the barn apartment is modern and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for folks who like to hike and just get out of a city environment - a ton of trails nearby and the views will make you forget you are in NY. Audrey was a gracious host and very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed a few local restaurants in the area and did some hiking in Vermont as well.

Adirondack Getaway

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the barn. From the moment I walked in I fell in love with it’s charm. It is filled with natural light and very charmingly furnished. It is also very comfortable and has everything you may need for an enjoyable stay. I hope to return one day in the fall to enjoy the wood burning stove and see the leaves change.

Magical

We had a family reunion here and rented both this property and the main farm house. It was just perfect. There are great hiking trails nearby and the adorable waterfront town of Essex is 5 miles away. Audrey (the host) is super cool, and she has a gaggle of farm creatures that love to be petted. If you want to step back into a time we all long for, this is the place.

This is a warm and thoughtfully designed little retreat with plentiful and refined accoutrements. It is refined in its simplicity. Audrey, the host was accommodating without being overly present. The setting is quiet and beautiful. We would happily return.

About the host

Hosted by Audrey Sparre

Host profile image
I live on the property with a variety of animals, including my horses. A dream come true!

Why they chose this property

The first time I saw the views, the old stone home and that barn, I was hooked!

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. I think the addition of my adorable horses really makes this destination unique and fun. 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.
