Historic Renovated Barn at Boorn Brook Farm - Manchester Vermont

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 its original 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.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

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.
