Historic Renovated Barn at Boorn Brook Farm - Manchester Vermont

Your home is the beautifully restored historic French inspired barn, built in the 1820's, which has wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, soaring ceilings, stone fireplaces and New England charm. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a country vacation for a small family or a quiet retreat to nature, Boorn Brook Farm is the quintessential Vermont experience!

Once the country estate and studio of famed painter and fly fishing enthusiast Ogden Pleissner, Boorn Brook Farm has been restored to its original splendor. Situated on 53 acres of open meadows and old apple orchards with stunning 360 degree mountain views, Boorn Brook Farm is protected by Lye Brook National Forest, yet within 5 minutes of the town centers of Manchester and Manchester Center. Boorn Brook Farm is also the new home of Green Mountain Falconry School!

In the summer, take falconry lessons on site, swim in the spring-fed pond with a beach, play tennis on the private court next to the Barn, hike on the Farm's private trails or in the bordering Lye Brook Wilderness, fish in the brook and the on-site trout pond , or simply relax in one of the hammocks.

Autumn is a magical time at Boorn Brook Farm where the mountains behind and in front of the Farm come alive with color. All the attractions of summer are available except with the need for a sweater in the evening!

Return home to build a fire in the stone fireplace, bake some bread in the stone bread oven in the fully equipped kitchen, play a game of pool in the game room, sip some hot chocolate and then watch the sun set behind Equinox Mountain from the outdoors firepit or the hot tub, right outside your master bedroom!

In the winter, skate on the pond, sled on the hill, snowshoe or cross country ski on the back trails, ski or snowboard at nearby Stratton or Bromley Mountains. Nearby are sleigh rides, great restaurants and shopping in Manchester, which is a short 5 minute ride from Boorn Brook Farm.

Children and adults alike will also enjoy our farm pets, our adorable goats, Pan and Axel! Dogs are welcome here on the farm.

Breathtaking
The barn was spacious and had everything we needed. The property is breathtaking, great location to the town, and Jeff was a great host. Our dogs were welcome, living their best life running around the property, and it was so special to see the mountains and just breathe in the air there. Would love to come back in the warmer weather!

An Excellent Place for a Getaway
The Historic Renovated Barn at Boorn Brook Farm was even better than we expected. The property is beautifully nested in the hills just outside of Manchester and the rental is well maintained, both inside the barn and outside the barn. It's obvious a lot of love has gone into this property and I would highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway to read, relax around the fireplace, or just enjoy the fresh air.

Amazing Barn & Property
We so enjoyed our 5 day stay at the barn! So much character & charm. Plenty of space for all of us. The hot tub was a nice treat. We loved visiting with Pan & Axle (the goats). Jeff and Sofie made us feel at home and were available if we needed anything. I highly recommend a stay at the Barn!

Gorgeous, rustic but luxurious converted barn
This is a really special place. the property is a meticulously renovated barn, gorgeous, clean interior and amenities. Jeff was not only welcoming but provided guidance on much to do on and off the property. Will definitely be returning!

Authentic Vermont
The barn at Boorn Brook farms is an authentic rustic renovated barn. It is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding area is gorgeous. We would definitely come back. The gently falling snow and the smell of the fire added to the magic.

Wonderful Vacation
We enjoyed our short stay at the farm. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. The beautiful grounds match the house with a picturesque pond and a hiking trail to the falls. Jeff was very attentive and always ready to help and answer our questions. We are very grateful to him for our very relaxing vacation.

Jeff’s property is phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better VT experience while we stayed there for our dear friends’ wedding. The weather and foliage was absolutely perfect. The home is clean and beautiful. AND who can forget the pygmy goats out back— Pan and Axel!

Even better than the pics
The property is fantastic. We stayed for a weekend of skiing (25-30min drive to Stratton), and though we were unable to ski due to weather, we had an amazing time at the barn. We brought two dogs with us who loved running around outside. The kitchen is well equipped, the house is clean and comfy, and the property itself is beautiful. Would highly recommend staying here in any season.

Beautiful Manchester Barn
My family and dog had a great time at the barn. The property is beautiful and surrounded by mountains. The barn is very large and much nicer in person. We enjoyed playing pool, relaxing by the outdoor fire pit, walking the trails on the property and fishing. Our dog loved going on hikes and swimming in the pond. There are many nice hikes in the area and Manchester is a short drive away, so the location was perfect for us.

A wonderful stay at the Farm
My family, including three kids (8, 6 and 3) and two dogs, had a great 5 day visit to the farm! The barn was beautiful and the neighboring town was perfect for some day trips in between skiing at nearby Bromley Mountain. Some highlights of our visit included: relaxing in the hot tub, visiting the goats, hiking, making pizza, playing games (bingo, pool, etc…), Northshire Bookstore, playing on the tractors at Charlie’s coffee house, movie night by the fire, and enjoying the fun snack basket provided! Good places to eat nearby, but make a reservation (we learned the hard way!) Would definitely love to come back!
