Your home is the beautifully restored historic French inspired barn, built in the 1820's, which has wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, soaring ceilings, stone fireplaces and New England charm. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a country vacation for a small family or a quiet retreat to nature, Boorn Brook Farm is the quintessential Vermont experience!

Once the country estate and studio of famed painter and fly fishing enthusiast Ogden Pleissner, Boorn Brook Farm has been restored to itsoriginal splendor. Situated on 53 acres of open meadows and old apple orchards with stunning 360 degree mountain views, Boorn Brook Farm is protected by Lye Brook National Forest, yet within 5 minutes of the town centers of Manchester and Manchester Center. Boorn Brook Farm is also the new home of Green Mountain Falconry School!

In the summer, take falconry lessons on site, swim in the spring-fed pond with a beach, play tennis on the private court next to the Barn, hike on the Farm's private trails or in the bordering Lye Brook Wilderness, fish in the brook and the on-site trout pond , or simply relax in one of the hammocks.

Autumn is a magical time at Boorn Brook Farm where the mountains behind and in front of the Farm come alive with color. All the attractions of summer are available except with the need for a sweater in the evening!

Return home to build a fire in the stone fireplace, bake some bread in the stone bread oven in the fully equipped kitchen, play a game of pool in the game room, sip some hot chocolate and then watch the sun set behind Equinox Mountain from the outdoors firepit or the hot tub, right outside your master bedroom!

In the winter, skate on the pond, sled on the hill, snowshoe or cross country ski on the back trails, ski or snowboard at nearby Stratton or Bromley Mountains. Nearby are sleigh rides, great restaurants and shopping in Manchester, which is a short 5 minute ride from Boorn Brook Farm.

Children and adults alike will also enjoy our farm pets, our adorable goats, Pan and Axel! Dogs are welcome here on the farm.

    We thoroughly enjoyed out stay, and are already planning a return trip! Jeff is a great host, and the barn is lovely and exactly as pictured (felt even bigger than the pictures suggest). The hot tub on cold winter nights was a great way to end the day, and access to the local area is quick and easy even though you feel tucked away from it all. Great experience and can't wait to come back!

    The property is absolutely beautiful! Hiking trails right from your back door. Beautiful manicured areas to watch the sunrise and sunset as well as meadows to explore. We loved the renovated barn. Plenty of space in the great room and the hot tub off the master br is perfect after a day of hiking. Jeff is an excellent host. We had comfy robes and plenty of towels. We traveled with our dog and loved having the wide open space to let her run each day.Thank you Jeff for your hospitality! We had a great visit but it was too short. We hope to return during the ski season.

    What an amazing location! Our family had a fantastic time at this beautiful farm. Hours were spent on the tennis court, on the trails, by the pond catching frogs and loving on the sweet goats. We cannot wait to return!

    Wish we were able to stay longer than 2 days at this wonderful place. Great location, about 6 minutes to Manchester center as well as many restaurants and shops. The enclosed stone wall courtyard between our barn and the owner’s house was beautiful and very useful for our dog to run around. We found all the amenities we needed within the barn, window ACs made the space cool and comfortable over 95F weather days. Beautiful views at sunset with quintessential Vermont rolling hill. The owner was super friendly and helpful with information as needed. We would certainly love to return soon!

    I cannot give Boorn Brook Farm enough stars! It is perfection! Jeff is incredibly gracious and made us feel so welcome. His love and appreciation for the property is contagious! The barn was so fun to explore. Every beam tells a story. The grounds are impeccably maintained. Beautifully mowed meadows with Mountain views in both directions. The woods leading to the rushing creek are straight out of a fairytale. Beams of sunlight shine through the trees onto the moss covered trails. You expect little fairy’s to go flying by! Our dog had the best time of her life…playing in the creek and chasing her ball in the spring fed pond. She safely ran all over the grounds. Our teen loved the backstop on the tennis court to practice his soccer shots. Jeff suggested we climb the hill next to the barn after dark to watch the stars and see the fireflies. We did and it was incredible! We also took the nearby hike to Lye Falls which was awesome. And played in the creek and pools at the foot of Benson Rd. The pup loved both of these adventures! The town of Manchester is darling. So pretty with so many shops and restaurants to choose from. And conveniently located just a few minutes from the farm. We had excellent meals at Pearls, The Copper Grouse and the Turkish restaurant whose name I can’t recall. This was our first time in Vermont and we totally nailed it! One of the most memorable short term rental experiences I’ve ever had! Thank you Jeff!

    This location is awesome. Close to town and skiing but we felt like we were secluded in the forest when sitting in the hot tub. We had a great time!

    On the plus side, the space is really unique with an earthy feel inside and really nice grounds w honey production from bees tended on property near house. That honey was in our gift basket. Key Pros-1) Owner always kindly responded in texts and with prompting helped solve bat in space problem. 2) Nice atmosphere. Cons 1) No key or lockbox made available to us through owner which was awkward since we were definitely staying and did not want to fuss; we felt forced to keep doors unlocked for stay 2) we did not realize the main hangout space was not air conditioned, but fans did a good job 80 percent of the time if one sat near them. 3) the owner allowed early check-in and maybe the crumbs and a dirty utensil happened due to this haste. 4) When the bat problem happened, owner was at first nonchalant to first message in the early evening. I texted that a bat was flying around our main space. We had discovered it returning from our dinner when we turned on the lights. He had to be prompted to take action. We intended to leave if he had not. Obviously, this episode was not the first for him and he expected us to open a window and just hope the bat left. He swatted it away and it may have flown out. We slept with towel under the bedroom door & apartment in basement, much cooler than FR w fans was then unlocked for our friends who did not have a door, only a curtain on their room so unprotected from bat.

    We had an incredible stay at Boorn Brook Farm in Manchester, Vermont! From the moment we arrived, Jeff, our gracious host, made us feel at home by warmly welcoming us and providing an overview of the property. The farm itself is a stunning escape, surrounded by natural beauty and plenty of activities to enjoy. The vast land offers something for everyone, whether it’s playing tennis, handball, basketball, exploring the hiking trails, or simply relaxing by a bonfire. There is also a hot tub off of the bedroom. Inside, the barn is spacious and inviting, complete with a pool table. The location is ideal, just a short drive to the charming town of Manchester and local markets stocked with delicious, fresh goods. Our stay at Boorn Brook Farm was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and we’re already looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Jeff, for your warm hospitality and for sharing this beautiful property with us!

    What a gorgeous property with an incredibly supportive and respectful host. The inside of the barn/house is so spacious - it can easily accommodate a family, without concerns for crowding. The master bedroom is very comfortable with a beautiful view of the yard. The 2nd bedroom is adorable and somewhat smaller. Great for kids. The area is just spectacular. Highestly recommend staying here!
