Welcome to this lovingly restored 1860s Vermont farmhouse, where historic charm meets modern comfort. With 2 cozy bedrooms and 2.5 updated bathrooms and plenty of inviting common spaces, there's room for everyone to relax and reconnect. Stroll to the nearby village, gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stargazing, explore the adjacent nature preserve or simply relax in the Adirondack chairs and soak up the peaceful atmosphere. This is the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate & renew!
Originally constructed in 1860, this classic New England gem has been completely renovated with modern conveniences, while still preserving all of its authentic historic charm. The house seamlessly blends indoors and out, making it a relaxing and inspiring space to unwind and renew. Natural light, vaulted ceilings and hand-hewn beams pair beautifully with a modern kitchen and custom ensuite bathrooms.
The farmhouse is adjacent to the dog friendly Mile Around Woods nature preserve, where guests can explore miles of winding trails and take in its rolling, scenic vistas. It’s also under a mile to the charming village of North Bennington, which has its own coffeehouse, general store, and restaurants. Outside of the village, there is easy access to groceries, retail shopping, restaurants and outdoor recreation, all within 10-30 minutes, in the towns between Bennington and Manchester.
