About this property

Getaway Near Mass MoCA, Great Hiking, Scenic Views

With almost seven years of hosting experience and 200+ great reviews through other platforms, you can't go wrong with our One Bedroom Vermont Getaway!

This apartment has one bedroom with a queen bed and down bedding, TV, dresser, and large closet, a full bathroom (linens included), and a kitchen equipped with a full-size fridge, oven/stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and basic cooking and dining essentials. There is also a washer and dryer available for use.
Free off-street parking is available for up to two cars. Free wifi is also available.

Our space is off of the Main Road in Stamford, VT. Stamford is the last town in Vermont before crossing the border into Massachusetts. We are a 10 minute drive to North Adams, MA, home of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Mount Greylock. Our area has views of Florida Mountain and Mount Greylock, which is part of the Appalachian Trail. Stamford has its own local Country Club, where anyone is welcome to play golf, and a local driving range. We are 5 minutes from Clarksburg State Park and Natural Bridge State Park in Clarksburg, MA. If you are a skier/rider, you can hike the Thunderbolt on Mount Greylock (if conditions allow), or make the easy drive up to Mount Snow Resort or The Hermitage Club (both about 35 minutes north) or down to Jiminy Peak (40 minutes south) or Berkshire East (35 minutes south).
Or, just stay close and enjoy the quiet town of Stamford, VT. Stamford is loved for its community, class, and natural beauty as well as its convenient location.

We book up quickly during the summer and fall seasons, so don’t wait!

Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire apartment with its own private entry.

This apartment is part of a large, historic home built in the mid 1800s. The apartment is one of three units. Multiple adults, children, and a dog live on the property. YOU WILL LIKELY SEE/HEAR the occupants on occasion during your stay. We never have complaints about noise, but do like to be transparent about the possibility of it. Our dog, Gus, may bark once or twice when he hears you enter - he is not much of a barker otherwise.

Classic Vermont weekend

Great location for a winter getaway weekend. We went snow-shoeing at nearby Prospect Mountain on the good weather day and to nearby MassMOCA on the bad weather day. Big overnight snowstorm but roads and driveway were cleared in the morning. Really lovely renovated farmhouse with a red barn. Easy check in and off street parking. It's really cozy and very quiet even though there is an active family in the house. A completely separate space on the second floor. We made a nice dinner in the small kitchen. Everything you'd need is there. Aaron & Kristen are definitely caring and attentive hosts. We would likely stay again in the future.

Quiet and cozy

Part of the house, but completely seperate space with its own entrance. Very clean and welcoming overall! The only thing I'd suggest is getting a step stool for the kitchen, since I couldn't reach where the toaster is kept. Thankfully traveling with someone taller!

Peaceful and tranquil

Kristen and her family have a beautiful property very well kept the apartment was perfectly adequate for two you could literally walk in with the clothes off your back and you'd have everything you need except food maybe. At night you walk out and stand in the middle of the road and you could hear a pin drop, beautiful stars above it was just lovely I RECOMMEND it

Perfect little spot

Spent a few days hiking Greylock and visiting the museums in North Adams. The place was operating room clean, quiet area, and the bed was comfortable. Downtown North Adams is literally less than 10 minutes away, with many of the hiking trailheads within 25 minutes. The owner was quickly responsive to the few questions I had. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Clean, comfortable, with extras

It’s an upstairs small apartment, with stove, fridge, even washer/dryer. It’s a vintage house but the rooms were completely updated. TV with internet programming worked fine but we couldn’t get on WiFi. Didn’t want to bother the family downstairs. The only other way to reach them was by going thru Vrbo which forced you to subscribe to affiliated businesses which we didn’t do!
