About this property

Lovely Village Barn Apartment

Cozy barn apartment in the lovely village of Richmond, Vermont. Walk to brewery, bakery, restaurants, market, playground and trails. Close to Burlington, and Ski Resorts. The apartment is located in a barn that is attached to our home. The buildings are approximately 125 years old and are brimming with rustic charm & character. That being said we have recently begun the daunting task of renovating the exterior of the property. As a result there are currently missing shutters and facia boards as well as peeling paint but by next summer we hope to have everything complete. So for now please excuse our appearance.

The apartment is on the second floor of our barn which has a private entrance with a key code door lock. There are many unique features that were original to the architecture such as exposed barn beams. The bedroom has a queen sized bed which is very comfy according to our guests. You'll find plenty of pillows and blankets for the cool Vermont summer mornings or the blustery winter nights. In the kitchen you'll find all of the essentials for preparing your own meals, which is easy to do since the market is only a short walk away. Maybe you'll decided to bring back breakfast treats from the bakery around the corner and enjoy a cup of fresh ground local organic coffee which is provided to start your stay off right. You'll find organic 1/2+1/2 in the fridge and local maple syrup and honey in the cabinet. In the living room there is a pellet stove that keeps the space very toasty in the winter and provides a cozy romantic ambience. A new sofa with a queen sized memory foam mattress. There is also a smart HDTV with Netflix, Hulu, and HBO GO. There is no cable but once you're here if you find a channel on the TV that you would like to access just let us know and we'll gladly download it for you. The bathroom is bright and cheery and is stocked with lots of towels, a first aid kit and a blow dryer.

Because we live on site we are usually available in a moments notice to help guests navigate their stay. We enjoy greeting our guests and meeting new people but will happily give you lots of space and privacy. We also love the outdoors and can easily point you in the right direction when it comes to skiing, hiking, biking or swimming. We are about a mile from the highway so in a matter of minutes you can be in Burlington but we have plenty of live music and great beer or food here in our village.

Located 1 mile from interstate 89 and 20 minutes south of Burlington it is also conveniently located 15-45 minutes from several ski resorts including Stowe, Smuggler’s Notch, Mad River & Sugar Bush. The closest being Cochran’s and Bolton Valley, both family favorites. Plowed, paved sidewalks will lead you from our village location to a ski shop, a bike shop, 2 restaurants, a brewery (w/great food), a bakery & a fully stocked, local grocery all located less than a mile walk from apartment.

Our family lives on site and are easily reached with any questions.

During your stay you'll be able to park in our driveway and have complete and private access to the entire apartment. There are no other visitor sharing accommodations at the time of your reservation.

May-until the snow flies guests are able to park on the street in front of our house or in the driveway but once there is snow there is a parking ban and street parking is prohibited. The town does plow the sidewalks in the winter so you can still walk to the local business.

Coming Back

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at the Barn Apartment. It is charming & comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our one month stay. Richmond is a lovely town; walkable and interesting with plenty to do....and at the same time a close drive to Burlington and other noteworthy towns, museums and nature walks to explore. We are coming back this Winter!

Wonderful winter stay!

This property was terrific! We had such a wonderful time, only 20 minutes from Burlington. We worried coming up for a weekend during one of the coldest weeks, but the pellet stove and electric heating in the apartment kept us perfectly warm during our stay. The keypad access was very convenient and the driveway was cleared so we could come and go as we pleased even after a blizzard! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy winter getaway!

Lovely place

We had a fabulous stay, Katie couldn't have been more helpful with her places to visit. The apartment was lovely with everything we needed. Thanks for the maple syrup sorry we couldn't take it home, there was too much syrup in the bottle to take on the plane😂

Great Home Base To Discover Vermont

The apartment renovation is still in the works on the outside, but don't let that fool you. The inside is completely finished and is very clean and super cozy. We were able to set out in different directions from Richmond to easily discover Vermont. Katie was a super host and in addition to providing all the travel brochures we needed, gave us first-hand knowledge of special places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment and highly recommend it. Thank you Katie and Steve for a great Vermont experience.

Lovely and comfortable!

This was a wonderful spot to stay when I was attending a work conference in Burlington. It was quiet and comfortable, with everything we needed to feel at home. The town is lovely and walkable, and Katie and Steve were friendly and accommodating. If we're back in the area, we would definitely stay here again! Thank you for your hospitality!

Amazing vacation

Let me start this out by saying I've rented through HomeAway before and Katie is the nicest host I've had the pleasure of interacting with!!! The loft apartment was amazing!!! Perfect for my boyfriend and I for a short getaway. The apartment is extremely clean, and Katie has thought of including all the little odds and ends you'll need during your stay. (Including little extras like the bottle of Organic Maple syrup) The bed was the most comfortable bed I think I have ever slept on!! I really appreciated Katie including the fragrance, and dye free soaps. As someone who is super sensitive to those kinds of things, I loved not having to worry about a possible reaction. The only issue we had was the rod which held the curtain that separated the kitchen and bedroom fell down a few times, but it was a quick and easy fix and certainly wasn't something to ruin the trip. Katie was even nice enough to offer plenty of suggestions on where to go and other activities to do that we had not thought of. It was really Katie's generosity and thoughtfulness that really made this trip enjoyable. She remembered when I booked our stay that I was planning this as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday, and suggested places I could get him a cake, and remembered that I said my boyfriend was a police officer. Overall this was an amazing trip and I will gladly rent from Katie again!!!

Fantastic getaway near Burlington and great outdoors fun!

I reserved the unit as it was near a wedding that I was attending and was so glad I did. It is in a really charming town near a few shops, brewery, Friday night farmers market with live music and restaurants. The unit had everything I needed including basics like dish and hand soap and some ground coffee and 1/2 and 1/2 too. The bed is quite comfortable and sheets are soft too. There were 2 fans and ac unit though it had cooled off quite a bit by the time I arrived so I didn’t need them but was glad for them. The owners are really friendly and offered lots of great ideas from swimming to hiking to dining options. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay!!!!!!!

We had a wonderful time and one of the reasons why was staying in the barn. It was clean and very welcoming. The coffee and the syrup was a nice touch. The stores and restaurant within walking distance was very convenient. We where there to watch our son who plays on the Lake Monsters Team every night during our stay it was a great location to the field if you want to catch a game. Great sleeping weather. Steve, Katie, and boys just wanted to thank you again for working with us and being so kind:)

VT Weekend

The apartment was perfect for our family as we were in VT for a family wedding. There were toys for our girls to play with, and it was very friendly. Only thing I would note in the future would be to pack kid friendly dishes, since I was worried about our toddler breaking a glass.

Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our first trip to Vermont and especially our stay in Richmond. The room was clean and private. We also appreciated all of the little extras (basket of flyers/maps detailing what to do in the area, generously stocked kitchen with condiments, spices and more). The hosts were friendly and gracious. We highly recommend!

Perfect Location and Accommodations!

Richmond and the Lovely Barn Apartment is a perfect location for an adventurous summer getaway! We were surrounded by numerous quickly accessible hikes and anything else you can think of to do outside. The apartment is perfectly appointed and the owner's are just a text or quick call away if you do need anything. The town of Richmond has a wonderful farmer's market on Friday evenings and the local brewery serves up tasty beers and fantastic tacos! You will be more than pleased when you book a stay here.

Beautiful and cozy!

This gorgeous barn apartment made our winter trip to Vermont into the perfect vacation. The apartment is really thoughtfully renovated, with everything we needed for sightseeing and snowboarding, relaxing, and even cooking up a few meals with amazing local ingredients. Katie was accessible whenever we needed and had great suggestions for things to do and see in the area. The pellet stove was an amazing feature to come back to after a cold day outside! Clean, cozy, and the bed really is the most comfortable we've ever seen. Thank you Katie and Steve for an amazing stay and we hope to be back many times!

Village comfort!

The village barn apartment in Richmond was absolutely perfect for us. We loved the quaint and rustic post and beam construction along with the fact that it’s within walking distance to absolutely everything in the village. The apartment was well stocked with absolutely everything one might need from organic maple syrup to delicious coffee. We couldn’t have been more delighted and hoping for a return trip soon. Thank you Katie! PS: very comfortable bed

Well appointed apartment in rural VT

The apartment had everything you could want. Inside was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and Katie welcomed us with fresh VT coffe and syrup. The bed linens were soft and comfortable. Unfortunately, the outside doesn’t reflect what you get on the inside. Look past your first impression and you will be pleasantly surprised.

We stayed for 3 days/2 nights. The apartment is thoughtfully laid out and they have thought of everything you could want. We arrived and were greeted by fresh ground coffee and organic maple syrup! We found a binder and note that explained everything and felt right at home. There are local restaurants and the area is perfect for visiting Burlington or Stowe. Would happily stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Nelson

Host profile image
I love spending time outdoors with my husband and our two young sons. We enjoy hiking on local mountain trails and along the Winooski River all minutes from our front door. I love eating, cooking and learning about food. I appreciate art and have been a part of the local art community as a curator and an educator for many years. I live in Vermont because of the beautiful landscape and the environmentally friendly, socially conscience, coffee shop loving, locavore philosophies that are evident everywhere you go. My husband lives here for all of the same reasons but says that I forgot to mention the beer...Vermont has great beer!
