Vintage BARN Apartment-POOL-HotTub-FirePit-Hiking-Museums-Theater-Pets welcome!

Wonderful stay. Maybe a little pricey for Townal

Beautiful barn style home that can accommodate a crowd. My husband and I found the two separate sitting spaces very comfortable (especially the room with the stained glass windows). Gives you a feeling of being in a Victorian library. We were stuck indoors for our trip and were grateful for being where we were.

The host , the property and all it had to offer! It checked off everything we wanted for an escape. Hot tub, grill, privacy, quiet, football, space to roam- amazing water pressure too! - highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique stay with Vermont feel!

The pictures were absolutely spot on! The space was incredibly quiet and cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere—even in zero-degree weather. The hot tub was fantastic, and the heated bathroom floors were a luxurious touch. The WiFi worked flawlessly throughout the property. The chef’s kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it perfect for cooking. Plus, the rental is conveniently close to town, and the breathtaking mountain views made the stay even more special. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay here in Pownal!! We came for a writing retreat, looking for a cozy property with space to think, work, catch up, and relax. Talk about inspiring surroundings!! The property is cozy and well kept, with a spacious kitchen and plenty of little luxuries! Warm floors in the bathroom and a hot tub, fireplace… it’s a perfect spot. The property manager was communicative and friendly. Highly recommended!

We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay. The atmosphere was quiet and calming, perfect for unwinding. Everything about our time here was enjoyable, and we truly appreciated the serene environment. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a restful getaway!

It was a beautiful home. The owners knew it was our Anniversary and to our surprise there was champagne in the fridge for us with a card. The court yard was wonderful to have are morning coffee in. The caretakers were wonderful people answered any questions or small issues we had. The library was a book lovers dream. It was a great location very close to Bennington. It was a little closer to the road then I expected but the property had a nice side yard to walk the dog around. The master bed was very comfortable. It was wonderful to have a small fire outside at night and there was even a smores kit available for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Balcony unit has a unique configuration that is huge and cozy at the same time. Pictures don't capture this spectacular space! It worked well for our family of four but some layout quirks should be noted. Main entry is up a spiral staircase from the patio behind the building. Guests should be aware the bunk beds are only partially separated from kitchen and dining area (in case young kids need quiet to sleep). The king bed shares space with the living area in the barn. The bed is separated by abundant storage units that can't reach the soaring barn ceilings. Access to the one bathroom is also through the barn/bedroom space. The huge sectional couch in the barn was a favorite cozy spot. The oversized kitchen looks like a chefs dream but might frustrate efforts to actually prepare food for a crowd. The oven took a long time to even reach 350; the dishwasher and microwave have seen better days. There is a second living area off the kitchen which did provide a retreat away from the sleeping areas. Full-sized laundry in the bathroom was a bonus. We didn't get to the pool during our stay, but the hot tub was delightful. It would be helpful to show the roadside exterior in the rental listing as the written directions were confusing (across from the backside of the town hall?!) A single photo could help guests locate the distinctive barn building more easily. In spite of the quirks, we will likely stay again for the access to Williamstown and Bennington. are

We enjoyed a quiet holiday there. The master bedroom/living room was beautiful, cozy and comfortable. The owner arranged to have a Christmas tree placed in the living room, which made it more special. The hot tub was clean and perfectly hot on the cold evenings. We were happy to find such a lovely dog-friendly place, just needed to make some minor adjustments there to protect fragile items around and sofas that she was not permitted on (we moved small items temporarily and had brought two sets of full-sized bedsheets for the long sectional that worked well). We were also not prepared for the metal spiral staircase outside leading to the unit, which our pup was too frightened to use (fortunately there was a garage entrance we were permitted use to take her in and out). There were tenants downstairs for most of our stay but it was not too disruptive to our peace or privacy. The manager Sally is a lovely woman, down to earth, easy to reach and helpful with questions. She works hard to keep the entire space spotless and nicely arranged. Overall it was a very nice getaway for our first visit to Vermont!

A belated but hugely sincere THANK YOU! We really enjoyed your property, which is unique and wonderful. The renovated building is truly ‘one-of-a-kind’, and was perfect for our 5 day stay in Vermont and as a part of our second honeymoon. The floor plan was well laid out and spacious, and the old stained-glass windows really created/added to a cool environment! We stayed there in late August just before Labor Day, so the general area was quiet, and the private location gave us easy access to a bunch of Bennington area hiking trails and the entire surrounding area provided great food and scenery. Sandy was on-call when we had a minor question and was very knowledgeable about the area. We definitely look forward to staying again in the future. Thank you again!
