Awe-inspiring views and a peaceful vibe come together at The Big Barn Farm to serve up a fabulous vacation for any season! The Big Barn Farm is a charming 25 acre Farm centrally located in the Green Mountains and surrounded by almost 1000 protected and undeveloped acres. The property consists of a large Farmhouse, multiple outbuildings and a Landmark 5-story Historic Barn. This 4-season paradise is a wonderful place to ESCAPE, RELAX and PLAY!

This rental, a modern, comfortable, renovated 2nd story condo with all the amenities (and great internet) in the charming Farmhouse, is only 5 miles to Ludlow/Okemo. It provides easy access to everything but it's far enough away to relax! Close to: Skiing, Snowmobiling, Snowshoeing, Hiking, Biking, Swimming, Fishing, Restaurants. [House has 2 listings - lower level condo can also be rented.] Perfect ski rental for Okemo or Killington. Perfect summer rental for Echo Lake, Lake Rescue and Plymouth State Park.

The Farmhouse condo has been recently updated and modernized. After a great day of recreation, store your gear/toys in the spacious & safe parking area and enter the Farmhouse to find plenty of hooks/storage for your gear. Once inside the cozy setting, relax, pour a beverage & soak up the stunning mountain and valley views through the bay windows of the large sitting/dining room as you contemplate what you'll cook up in the fully modernized kitchen. At dusk, head outside to the bonfire pit and enjoy roasting marshmallows by the warm glow of the fire and fading sunset.

In this sunny, private and secure upstairs condo, the Master is a large, comfortable room with a deluxe queen bed, a twin bed and a desk for remote work/school purposes. Children or guests will love the bright and cozy second bedroom with a queen bed. If you have a little person, there is an organic toddler floor mattress that can be placed in any of the sleeping areas.

The kitchen has brand new high-end appliances and is outfitted with everything you'll need to serve up culinary delights. The bathroom has a full-sized tub with rain shower head and a large capacity washer/dryer to clean up from the day's activities.

When the snow melts, the farm gets set up with outdoor picnic seating, Adirondack chairs and the most relaxing hammock you've ever experienced. Truly paradise!

You'll feel like you're away from it all - even though you are only a short jaunt from the heart of everything that Central VT has to offer! The Ludlow/Cavendish area (5 miles away) is an amazing culinary destination! Lucky renters may experience the tasting room at the winery right next door (open occasionally - Brook Farm Vineyards/Bates Mansion). And the recreation opportunities just outside the front door are unparalleled.

    Only upstairs available with dangerously stiff and narrow stairs with the 2nd bedroom without heating. Piles of dog poop in front of the porch and on the pathway and two big dogs walking around with no leash.

    The location of the property is a little remote but not far from the town and the Okemo ski resort. It is very quiet at night. The host was very responsive to inquiries and very helpful. The bedroom with two beds was a little cold and didn't get much heat from the main heating system. The other bedroom and area was very warm and cozy.

    Usually if something's charming it is small but this is big on charm and spacious. We stayed in the upstairs unit. The view in the winter was unbelievable!

    I took my best friend and I up to Vermont for a guys weekend away to snowboard. We were lucky enough to rent this beautiful property. We were minutes from the resort while still being more secluded in the country side. The place was clean with lots of cooking utensils to make food while visiting. The hosts were very quick and responsive about any questions had which were very few since they did a great job explaining the process prior to check in. We will definitely be back next season.

    We planned a week to ski at Okemo, and found the Big Barn to be a cozy base to travel from. While it is outside of Ludlow, we found the trip to Okemo to be pretty easy and faster than we expected. House is old, but the accommodations were comfortable. (Could get a bit chilly in one of the bedrooms though). Very quiet, with an expansive property, and lots of beautiful scenery around. If you don't mind stayin gout of town or off the mountain, consider the Big Barn.

    We had a wonderful time - the house and property were beautiful. The Barn is located close to places to eat and explore, and also enough out of the way that you feel the country vibes. Our hosts were communicative and super helpful while we were there. The place is well stocked, beds are comfortable & there was lots of fun things outside for the kids to play on. Would definitely stay here again!

    The Big Barn came just as advertised. The living space was cozy and upgraded with very nice new appliances and brand new windows. The 25 acre property is gorgeous and so is the surrounding area. Thank you Sheryl for being so responsive when we had an issue with some of the electronics. Unfortunately we had very rainy weather but I would recommend this property to anyone who wishes to experience true Vermont living.

    Our family really enjoyed this apartment at the Big Barn Farm. It was warm, well furnished and very comfortable for our family. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were very useful during our stay.The property was great - lots of open space to explore and walk and just relax. Location is perfect - about 10min from the town of Ludlow, Okemo Ski resort, 30min to Killington and just under 2 hours to Stowe for skiing. Owners were very communicative and helpful as we planned our stay and during our time there. We would definitely come back! Thanks!
