About this property

Artful Lodging & Retreats Civil War Infirmary 2nd Fl'r 3 Bdrm Apt Montpelier VT

This sunny, beautifully decorated, fully furnished apartment is in an historic Civil War Infirmary building, part of the Sloan Hospital, and was rolled down the street from the Vermont College green in the 1870's, then fully updated with every modern convenience! The apartment is cozy during winter with loads of windows and sunshine, and cool in summer with A/C in the bedrooms if you feel you need it. The apartment includes a fully outfitted kitchen and bathroom with anything you might need. Hardwood floors add to the charm. There are 3 bedrooms - 2 rooms have Queen-size beds and 1 has a King. There is an additional cot available and one of the queen bedrooms has a couch for lounging on and can serve as a living room too. The landing area has loads of books and games, and I always put in special stuffed animals and toys suited to the ages of visiting children. Our backyard has a spectacular view of Camel's Hump and the valley with the capitol building and downtown. We welcome guests to sit and enjoy cocktails at sunset or have a barbecue. (Just ask so we can coordinate with our other guests.) The house is walking distance to downtown, very near the college green and VCFA campus, and many area attractions and resorts, including Stowe, Sugarbush, Trapp Family Lodge, and Bolton Valley (all 30-40 minutes drive). Kellogg Hubbard Library in town holds many events for kids, a local rec center has tennis courts, several ball fields and a pool. There is a reservoir for cookouts and swimming in summer, and many rivers and streams to play and fish in right in town. We have kayaks, nordic skis, snowshoes, and other sporting equipment we are happy to share. Montpelier is a great central location for day trips, and we are happy to be your guide. Check out the Montpelier Alive schedule and the city website, as well as Lost Nation Theater. Burlington and Lake Champlain are a 35 minute drive, and hiking trails are 20-30 minutes away to Camel's Hump and White Rocks/Hunger Mountain trailheads. The city circ bus stops regularly in front of the house and will quickly bring you to pick up groceries. We have two movie theaters in town as well! This is truly your home away from home!

Lovely stay close to town

Lovely historic lodging in nice neighborhood and close to town. Beth greeted us on our arrival. So friendly and helpful. Beautiful garden and sitting area to enjoy the valley view and sunset. Easily walkable to town. Comfy beds. Would have enjoyed a sitting area to gather but the weather was wonderful so we spent a lot of time outside. Next time I hope to ask Beth more about the history of this building. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great Place to stay for VT ski!

I spent two days with my kids (18 and 20 years) at Beth's place and had great time! Very conveniently located in Montpelier, allows for easy access for a bunch of ski resorts as well as the convenience of being in a city with good restaurants. Beth was just fantastic from the minute we booked the house. She waited to show us the house, which is very convenient for a group (3 spacious bedrooms). We had no trouble at all and really enjoyed our stay at Beth's place, and she checked in daily with us to make sure everything went well. I would highly recommend Beth's place!

perfect for us

My wife, daughter and I stayed for 2 nights while visiting our new son-in-laws family. Beth met us on arrival and welcomed us to her home. The kitchen was perfect for us and the apartment is only a few minutes drive from the center of town. Beth set up a sofa in the 3rd bedroom so that we would have someplace to relax. there is a larger livng/dining area at the bottom of the stairs that is shared with the other small apartment. Capitol Grounds for great coffee and the Skinny Pancake for a variety of tasty crepes.

Nice place and location, strange and misleading

Very nice, clean place, but there's a couple things that need to be clear in the ad. There's no washer/dryer, the owner offered to do laundry for a really high price. Three bedrooms but, effectively, one parking spot. And there's no real common area, one of the bedrooms is the only place to gather. Good location, but I wouldn't stay here again.

Comfortable Clean Historical Home in Vermont’s Capital.

Very easy stay in a home away from home. We skied Stowe every day and the 1/2 hour commute to Montpelier gave our teenagers just the right amount of time to regroup before getting back to Montpelier to rest up for another Fay of skiing. The owner keeps this historical home very clean and cozy for our family of four to rest, read, cook and sleep for a very enjoyable week of play: snowshoeing, skiing in Stowe. Thank you.

Close to downtown Montpelier

This property is ideal for families or couples, as there are 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen size and 1 with king size bed. We thought there would be a living room area, so the space was tight for us ( 5 single women). The owner was very responsive, and the location is ideal if you're wanting to spend time in downtown Montpelier.

Cozy apartment with accomadating host

We rented the first floor apartment and found it meet our needs. The host Beth was very helpful allowing my daughter and her children to settle in earlier than the expected time and providing a pack and play and high chair and toys. The living room is unusual because it has beds and a couch which means there isn’t really a common area to hang out in after people go to sleep.

Beautiful Fall Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in the Artful Asian 2nd Floor apt. The space was clean and well appointed. Plenty of room for us (just 2), but also 2 additional bedrooms had space for at least 4 more. Beth and her family were very gracious, providing us with directions to town, recommendations on dining and shopping. We were also only 2 blocks away from our friends that live here and were able to walk to their house and also to the main street for dining. We would recommend this property, and we would stay here again.

This was our second time staying here, and we have nothing but great things to say about the property and its owner. Beth is not just extremely responsive but incredibly proactive and a very generous host. We've stayed in both the upstairs and downstairs apartments, and we would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone traveling with young children (as we did), or without. The apartments are lovely, and you will be in the best possible hands during your stay. We can't say enough good things. We're already dreaming about our next stay!

Perfect Vermont Experience

This home was perfect. It was BEAUTIFUL, historic, cozy, and accommodating in an extremely convenient location. Montpelier is easy to hop on the interstate from, and this home was SO close to downtown Montpelier and the charming square of the local cottage. It was a very quiet street but near the action. Beth was an incredible hostess- Anything you could possibly want, need, or have forgotten for your trip was in that house. There were toiletries, first aid, even a lit makeup mirror and blow dyer. She was flexible, friendly, and attentive. The beds were extremely comfortable (we slept like rocks) and the house just oozed a cozy charm. We all had our privacy and comfort despite there being 6 of us. I would absolutely recommend this home and will likely rent it ourselves again. -A. Rebold

Our 2-bedroom apartment was just right!

I would recommend this lovely, inviting home to anyone who would like a quiet, comfortable alternative to Montpelier's hotel/motel offerings. It's an easy walk down hill to the heart of Montpelier (though not so easy going up!) and a great place to relax after a day of business or recreating. Beth was a most gracious and thoughtful host. She was exceptionally helpful and caring when a minor emergency arose in our party and generously communicative as we made our arrangements to book and arrive. The two bedroom suite (one bedroom adequately serving as sitting room) was perfect for our three-some, though the kitchen would be cramped for seating more than three at once. All was clean and well-maintained and just as described in the listing. The gardens and lovely view were a plus. The owner and family share this historic building with their guests, so loud music or partying are not appropriate. I would want to stay here again on a future visit to Montpelier.

Good Alternative to VCFA Dorms

I stayed at Beth’s cozy upstairs apartment with another student during the 10 days of residency at Vermont College of Fine Arts. The apartment is just 2 blocks from the college (a 6-minute walk) and a 10-15 minute walk into town or to the wonderful Hunger Mountain co-op. The kitchen was well equipped and I was able to do lots of cooking for my restricted health diet. The bed was comfortable, and the room was furnished with all the items I needed to feel at home— a dresser, bookcase, desk, mirror, and a closet with plenty of hangers. Beth was quite welcoming and responsive to my requests for extra supplies —like more dishtowels or hot pads—but also let us have our space. The wireless Internet worked well and the lack of TV was a plus for writing and reading. It’s a great place to stay for residency if you can’t stay in the VCFA dorms or would rather not.

Excellent Stay

My two adult girlfriends and I stayed for ten days while attending VCFA residency. We were delighted with the upstairs front apartment (3 bedrooms). As other reviews say, the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked, the bedrooms all had window a/c's which were nice on warm evenings, and the mattresses were new and very comfortable. The kitchen was just big enough for us to cook and eat. Our S.O.'s spent the weekend and it would have been crowded to eat-in during inclement weather but we grilled outside and enjoyed the beautiful yard/ garden and views of Montpelier and Camel's Hump. Otherwise, even with 6 adults we were able to have lots of privacy. The bedrooms all have extra seating and ample room to retreat behind closed doors. This apartment has only a tiny common seating area (besides the kitchen) which we all enjoyed very much. No TV, great wi-fi. The bathroom is basic with a larger shower stall but no tub. And the stairs to the second floor are a little narrow and steep (typical New England), not very good for elderly or disabled. Beth and Bob could not be more accommodating and were only a text away even when they were gone for the holiday weekend. She is a perfect VRBO hostess, there when you need her, plenty of time to share local knowledge/ insight, or just chat; out of sight otherwise. (Although I was sorry to not have more time to spend just to get to know her!) Highly recommend a stay. Well worth the cost. The downstairs rooms seemed perfect also for families with teens or young children. When they were unoccupied, Beth opened the well-appointed "parlor" with TV, couches, and chairs, so we could use it, too. There are three wide slate-slab steps leading to the front door, so wheelchairs might be difficult.
