Welcome to the Culbertson House! Unique and a little quirky, beloved by the resident-owners and dozens of guests alike, the house occupies a rare space in Brattleboro, a spot that is quiet and peaceful and on the edge of the forest, yet close to all major thoroughfares. We are 1.5 miles from downtown Brattleboro, with its offerings of fine dining, unique shopping, diverse cultural entertainment and funky nightlife. We never charge for cleaning or pets; our rate is our rate, no surprise fees. The space The one-bedroom apartment here at Culbertson House is a cozy and comfortable place to spend a weekend or a few months. Walking into the apartment you enter a pleasant living/dining area with a full kitchen, tastefully decorated with fun "retro" furniture, whimsical artwork (much of it created by Julia, the owner) and interesting decor. The bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed, large dresser and spacious walk-in closet. The bathroom is newly renovated with full bath/shower. Sit on the front porch and enjoy a snowy panorama, and in nicer weather a gorgeous flower garden that wraps around the whole house. The place has a secluded, private feel but is only a mile from bustling downtown Brattleboro and only steps away from the Farmers Market and year-round recreation at Living Memorial Park (skiing and skating in winter, swimming, softball, tennis and hiking in summer). The owners live in the same building and are always available for whatever needs and questions you may have. Culbertson House, a great place to stay in Brattleboro! Guest access Enjoy our beautiful garden and back yard in summertime, and feel free to explore the hiking trails in the forest behind the house. Other things to note One hundred years ago, the Culbertson House was built by a successful local dentist, building what was then a country estate west of the bustling town of Brattleboro, Originally a residence (our house) plus a guest house next to the brook, with a swimming pool, paths through the woods, bubbling fountains and a goldfish pond. The property was bought in 1946 by the world-famous "father of contract bridge" Ely Culbertson, who lived here until his death in 1955. Indeed, the street on which our house is located is named after the great card player and entrepreneur, who spent most of his time in our house writing treatises on world peace and a single world government, and working as a consultant to develop the League of Nations. Local developer Norman Chase purchased the property in the late fifties, adding an extension and dividing the Culbertson's house into three apartments, while at the same time building "Brookside," the pleasant development of condominiums and co-ops which lies next to our property. The house is composed of a one-room studio apartment, the one-bedroom which we offer here, and our two-bedroom apartment where we have lived for more than 10 years and raised our family. Also on the property is a single-family house with longtime tenants. The extensive, distinctive and luxurious flower garden which completely surrounds the house was created by the owner over the past several years, and is an exceptional feature of the property in the summer months.
