About this property

Charming Converted Horse Barn

Lots of Vermont charm in this home! The bedrooms were originally horse stalls and kids just love that magic! Fully stocked kitchen, Franklin stove as well as central heat & a/c.. Large basement contains a ping-pong table + washer and dryer & small fridge. Outdoors, a very large area of mowed grass creates room for lawn games like badminton & even sledding in the winter! Crystal Beach is up the road and the lake marina is great for renting a boat or there is a site for launching your own. Indoors there is a game closet for rainy days. Very Family friendly home!

NOTE:This home is NOT located on the Lake but is nearby :)

Our Fave Spot!
We have stayed at Alison’s charming converted stable numerous times and it has become a family tradition. It is quaint and well-kept. The location is ideal for us. We love taking a walk up the road to visit Comet the pig (and sometimes bring a few table scraps for him)! Alison has always been pleasant and responds promptly whenever we have questions. She has immediately addressed any concerns we have had, so I feel no need to list any minor issues. We will surely be back again!

Christmas in Vermont
The barn we very clean. The hot water was almost instant, we stayed nice and warm, we even had a couple inches of snow Christmas Eve. Every room was spacious, the warm bathroom was a bonus! It was in the 20's during our 4 day stay. The Plow cleaned the driveway the very next day. Lots of ambience and relaxing place to stay.

Lake Bomoseen Winter Retreat
Adorable converted horse barn with vestiges of the original use still visible in the converted space (stable doors which were really cool). Very cozy for a couple dog but also plenty of space for a larger group if desired. The surrounding area was very quiet in the wintertime but within close range of lots of great hiking, antiquing, and craft beer drinking.

Perfect Castleton Weekend Spot
This was our third stay here! Check in was a breeze! Lots of space for everyone! Such a cozy spot- we love the wood burning stove. And having a big, well-equipped kitchen for Castleton tailgating prep is fantastic. And the pingpong table downstairs is always a hit!

Rustic and Charming
This is a charming converted horse barn The rooms on main floor still have the original sliding horse stable doors which is a nice rustic touch The kitchen is fully stocked with all utensils and appliances you need The wood burning stove was a beautiful addition that my family enjoyed every nite All the kindling,paper ,firestarter and wood are there for you,no need to get your own wood. Woodshed is fully stocked with plenty of wood Plenty of hot water for showers ,the heat worked perfectly Wi-Fi was extremely fast. Streaming on our devices was flawless Television in living room is a little on the small side but we weren’t there to watch television all day. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and clean sheets if you needed Plenty of towels and shampoos and body wash for showers The property is beautiful with a fire pit if you chose to use Overall it was a perfect location and my wife and 2 adult children enjoyed out stay tremendously And yes the stairs going to the second floor are steep but not a problem unless you are elderly and are not good climbing steps. There really isn’t anything I would change or complain about Alison was great with communication and our instructions a few weeks before our stay I want to thank you for a wonderful trip and excellent home to enjoy ourselves in.

Weekend Wedding
Perfect spot for us. Able to be very close to wedding events but had a homey base to go to. Appreciated having a well organized kitchen so we didn't have to spend all our free time at restaurants. Go slow on road to property... especially at sundown .. I came way to close to hitting a deer. That was on day one, when I had not quite dialled down from my urban pace.. had lovely hike at state park close by and re-set.

Great space and location
We enjoyed our stay at Alison's place! The space was unique and comfortable. There was plenty of space for us. Our adult children were able to visit us while we were there. We all enjoyed a wonderful Easter with family who live nearby. Really appreciated that dogs are welcome! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. Alison was wonderful with communication and extrememly accommodating with our reservation. Thank you for sharing you space with us!

Cozy cute and unique
This is a very unique and cozy home, a renovated former horse stable. The home has everything you need, good wifi too. Quiet relaxing location. Very nice for sitting by the fire. If you are keen on Lake Bomoseen and enjoying the surrounding mountains, this is a good choice. Close enough for a trip to Fort Ticonderoga by ferry too. Pond Hill Ranch for trail rides too.

We had the best long weekend at this awesome house. Loved the old stable interior! The property was beautiful and well maintained. The house was clean and orderly. The location made it quick and easy for access to the lake for the day. Would 100% stay again and definitely recommend!

Fantastic Location near Lake Bomoseen
I lived in the Castleton area about 35 years ago, and I finally managed to book a vacation back there (introducing my family to Vermont and New England). "The Barn" was a fantastic place to stay for a week; my family and I were very comfortable and greatly enjoyed it. Alison was very receptive and friendly, and the property met the description to the letter. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Our stay in the "barn"
We were pleased with ability to walk on a country road, and have a beach close by. The accommodations were perfect for the group we had. The stairs were a bit steep. We enjoyed the firepit every evening.

Winter Fun
We enjoyed our stay at the carriage house. The house had everything we needed. We cooked, used the woodstove, and used the washing machine and dryer. Everything was in working order and the house was clean and tidy. Allison was a good communicator. I love the rustic look of the house. We plan to come back!

Great little spot
This is our 3rd time renting "The Barn". Everything about it makes it a perfect little rental. First, it is clean. When you arrive, you know someone took the time to keep it nice. Along, with cleanliness, the property was plowed early(we had significant snow overnight and plow came by 7:15 a.m.). Love the wood-burning stove, wood included. The appliances are good, the bathroom is in full working order, and the kitchen has all the gadget you need. Alison is so easy to work with. The barn is just a short ride to Lake Bomoseen and Castleton Corners. We will return!

Comfortable stay with all the amenities of home
This was the perfect setting to spend a quiet and relaxed New Year's holiday with my friend. The features of the old barn provide great charm and the house is stocked with all the necessities in both the kitchen and bathroom. The wood stove and outdoor fire pit provide the ambiance for relaxed evenings. The house is close to great hiking trails at Bomoseen State Park and a quick drive to Rutland. I'll definitely look to book this property when I'm back in the area and I would highly recommend it to anybody else traveling to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Alison

Host profile image
We bought the home as a weekend retreat.. Our family enjoyed Winter weekends skiing Killington & Pico and Summer at the beach, fishing on the lake, playing badminton and entertaining family friends who came to visit.

Why they chose this property

It is a one-of-a-kind property and we fell in love with the idea of a horse barn being converted to a residence! It struck us as so reflective of historic Vermont. The property size of 3+ acres also appealed to us as a 'playground' for our boys. We played baseball & badminton in the Summer and went sledding in the Winter and it was a great place to invite friends to visit.

What makes this property unique

Just about everything you need for a vacation is there and you have a choice of so many things to do, either on site or sight-seeing around Vermont. It is also such a comfortable place to 'hang out'. There is a fireplace for cool days, plenty of room to play in the basement or outdoors + there is always Wi-Fi and TV.
