About this property
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.
