Light Filled Loft in the Vermont Countryside

Our spacious, tranquil, light-filled Barn Loft is thoughtfully and creatively designed. Complete with a living area, sleeping alcove, flat-screen TV, full kitchen, dining area, and large bathroom with a deluxe shower. A private deck with seating that looks out into our lovely Vermont woods and verdant gardens is attached to the loft. Stay a night or a week, there is plenty to do in every season. We are a friendly, welcoming, worldly, family. We look forward to hosting you at our country home. The space The main old farmhouse where our family lives was built in the 1820's, and the Barn Loft is in the renovated old barn adjacent to the farmhouse. The Barn Loft has a queen size bed. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to use. If you find yourself needing something you don't have, please don't hesitate to come next door and ask us. We are very happy to help in any way. The outside shower has a privacy screen, and it is shared by our family and our guests. It's very enjoyable whatever the weather. The deck beside the loft is exclusive to our Barn Loft guests, and the stone patio down at ground level, as well as the rest of the grounds, are communal spaces. VT Meals and Rooms Tax ID: MRT-10126712 Guest access Guests have access to parking, a private entrance to the loft, a private full kitchen and bath, a private deck, a stone patio, a secluded, shared outdoor shower with hot water, beautiful gardens, hammocks and a swing with lovely views, a four-season brook, and over 50 acres of marked trails for hiking or snowshoeing. Please be aware that access to the Barn Loft is up a flight of narrow stone steps without a handrail, then up a second set of sturdy wooden steps with a handrail. When there is snow on the ground, guests enter through the garage. The steps can be avoided by walking across the lawn. Other things to note We have lovely gardens and lawn surrounding the houses; please feel free to enjoy them. Drag a chair into the sun or find the hammock zone up the hill in the shade of the massive oaks. Wherever you choose to relax, it's impossible to escape the soothing sound of Halladay Brook, across the road from our house, but still on our property. At night, hang out on the deck and gaze at the plentiful stars, or let Halladay Brook lull you into some of the deepest slumbers you'll ever have. TV There is a large flat-screen tv where you can watch a number of Roku channels. You can log into your personal Netflix, Amazon or HBO accounts via Roku. We do not have cable. CLOTHING This is country living, so although the interior amenities are top notch, bring season-appropriate clothing to maximize your enjoyment of the outdoors if you plan to spend any time outside. That means warm undergarments, snow-proof outerwear, and snow boots in winter and early spring. Tennis shoes or lightweight hiking shoes or boots are advisable for walking in the woods. A slip-on pair of rain boots are ideal for both kids and adults in Spring, Summer, and Fall, as the grass can be wet. Flip flops are a good call if it's warm out. FIRST AID AND EMERGENCIES There is bug repellant in the bathroom vanity cabinet. The Barn Loft has a first aid kit under the sink in the bathroom; please don't hesitate to ask us for anything else you may need. For your safety, the Barn Loft is equipped with a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, and an emergency escape ladder (tucked under the bed) in the case of an emergency evacuation. If you do not have cell service or can use WiFi calling, please use our landline next door to dial 911. Registration Details MRT-10126712
