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 1st 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 - upper 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 downstairs condo, the Master has a comfortable queen bed and walk-in closet. The cozy second bedroom has twin bunk beds and a desk for remote work/school purposes. Additionally, there is a roll-away twin bed, an organic toddler floor mattress and a pack n' play that can be placed in any of the sleeping areas.

The kitchen has brand new premium 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. There is also 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.

    Love this antique VT farmhouse and location is close enough to Okemo, though all backroads to get there, so plan on 15-20 minutes. That said it is a lovely drive.

    Check in was very easy. The rental was an old farm house, but we found very comfortable.

    We had a great time staying in the old farmhouse. Stayed for a long weekend. Close to okemo and the town. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and staying in. Would definitely stay there again ☺️

    We stayed at this property in order to ski Okemo. Only 10-15 minutes away. A very easy drive. The house is split into 2 condos; we stayed on the bottom floor. House was perfectly clean. The items that you would want to be modern were- kitchen appliances, tv, bathroom, windows. The rest of the house still has the old-style farmhouse charm; a perfect blend. Beds were very comfortable and the house heated up and maintained heat well- no drafts. Our dog loved being off-leash and racing through the field. 25 acres gave her plenty of room to run and play. The farm is a corner property but both roads only had very sporadic vehicles and the roads are also very slow to drive. We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay here. If we ski Okemo again, we will definitely be back to this property.

    This place is spacious and charming, with a scenic backdrop and a terrific neighbor across the street with dogs. Make sure you get the door code before you go, because there is no cell service and the Wifi isn't open. Beds were small and too soft.

    What a perfect place to stay in Vermont. It was an ideal escape and we felt we really got away from it all for the week we were there (we worked remotely from the apartment). At the same time, it was only 10 minutes from Ludlow and Proctorsville where we could get dinner, groceries, etc. The apartment itself was amazing (incredibly strong wifi!) and the outdoor space was divine. I could happily spend the rest of my life in the hammock / adirondack chairs. What a wonderful place that we can't wait to revisit!

    This property is historic and the owners are very nice. It is a place to truly get away from it all. Groceries and other services are close enough though. It is a terrific place for young children to run and play! I most enjoyed the hammock! I imagine it would also be lovely in fall or winter when a fire would be appropriate.
