Full of character, this lovely suite is nestled upstairs in an old farmhouse under the oldest giant oak in town. Minutes walking distance to beautiful Norwich University as well as the village where you can grab farmers market goods, a beer or dinner from the fabulous local brewery, or an ice cream treat! Enjoy your private balcony, or hangout in the fenced in yard. You’ll enjoy cooking in the fully equipped retro inspired kitchen, and relaxing in the massage chair in the little bonus office. Upstairs apartment with a lovely large front bedroom: queen sized bed and a large closet. Small second bedroom with large closet and twin sized bed (trundle bed pulls out but does not leave much room to walk around.) There is a small bonus office room accessed through either bedroom, with a massage chair, desk and bookcase- perfect to close off and relax, read, do yoga… The living room has a fold out futon (it’s not great for sleeping on unless you’re one of those weirdos who can sleep anywhere.) The apartment has been freshly renovated and painted with fun wall paper and bold retro influences. This isn’t the Ritz, it’s a 170 year old farm house with slightly sloping floors and doors that might need a little elbow power if it’s humid or cold - but if you’re staying here, you’re like us and love homes that tell a story! If you haven’t been to Vermont, you should be prepared for the weather: it is a beautiful beast, we suggest bringing all weather gear, slippers, layers, and although we plow, there may be times you’ll need to shovel out your car or throw down some salt -we’ll provide both. We love that we get to share this old girl with you and hope to make your stay as comfortable as possible - please reach out if we can accommodate you in anyway. We’re also happy to send you a nice discount for weekly or extended stays! Access available to upstairs apartment through front porch and hall. Guest are welcome to use front porch or back yard accessed by walking around house to the right and through back gate. All parts of Barn/garage/loft, root cellar and basement are unsafe for public use and not to be entered at any time. Guest are welcome to text or email us. Amazing location! Quaint quiet central Vermont town boasting 3 covered bridges, a lovely general store, and conveniently located within minutes off I-89. Stay right here behind the picket fence and watch the town parades with coffee on the front porch, then walk to local brewery, ice cream shop, or explore beautiful hiking trails, watering holes or stunning Norwich University just steps away. Take a scenic drive or bus, 9 miles to picturesque Montpelier, a hop over the mountain to the Sugarbush or Mad River slopes, 30 miles to Stowe’s famous attractions (Cider Mill, Cabot annex, Ben and Jerry’s factory…) and only 48 miles to Burlington. If you love a bit of adventure or could use a chunk of life at a slower pace, you’ll love staying at the Lucy Blue Bird. She’s steeped in comfort and character in a town rich with Vermont history! Two off street parking spaces available. Additional parking available across the street for guest (no overnight parking on street between mid November and May) There is a public bus: Green Mountain Transit, that runs to/from Montpelier with a stop within walking distance. The Amtrak train stops in Montpelier and the nearest airport is in Burlington.
