Hot tub, newly installed, is for the private use of this rental's guests, and is located out of sight on a pergola adjacent to the private fire pit! This is the guest residence of our former home and is actually a small portion of a 10,000 sf renovated barn complex which includes our former studio and gallery, both now closed, as well as ample areas for outdoor living with hot tub, pool, courtyard, and large yard. The original barn was converted to retail in the 60's when US Route 7, a main artery from Long Island Sound to the Canadian border, was relocated. There are sleeping accommodations for 6 people but we prefer to have no more than 4 adults as to not overtax the infrastructure. Guest apartment is a wholly separate space that can be accessed from its own entrance or, by special arrangement, through the service entrance. Note to potential guests: 99% of our guests love staying here, return and/or recommend us to their friends. The other fraction of a percent have a problem with an occasional mouse "leave-behind", the proximity to a busy road, and any number of other farm-related issues. It is not some architectural masterpiece, just a cozy place to snuggle down in front of an inviting fire or maybe a movie you missed a few years back. If these things bother you please do not rent from us! We do our best to keep certain annoyances like mice under control, but we depend on good reviews and a good rental season to cover the cost of owning this rural treasure. Guest access Please arrange your approximate check-in time in advance. With advanced notice, very late arrivals can be accommodated. Parking is in the lot in front of the building and can accommodate a dozen vehicles or more. Local transportation is available by bus, Green Mountain Express; and Walt's Taxi, Uber, and Lyft (most likely evenings and weekends only.) You do not share this apartment with anyone else. We give you the key to your own ground floor entrance and leave you alone to enjoy all the facilities according to the season and your preferences. You may arrange for a luggage drop-off, handicapped entrance, or possibly just sitting by the pool when you arrive early. The seasonal pool and yard are for both guests to enjoy. The courtyard, while leading to the neighbor's second-floor entrance, is for your seasonal grilling and outdoor dining use. This rental now has a hot tub reserved solely for the use of its residents located with the fIre pit on the east side of the building affording ultimate privacy. During winter month's the fire pit may be relocated to the courtyard for everyone's ease of use. Other things to note Airbnb is now collecting and remitting VT occupancy tax which is included in your total remittance. please treat toilet with extreme care -- not too much toilet paper per flush and nothing unusual down toilet. Plumbing under concrete floor is very delicate! Only 4 adults permitted without special permission. If we have accepted your pet, we charge $15 per dog per night payable directly to us via online payment or in cash upon arrival. Please request and agree to the doggie rules.
