About this property

Custom Designed Carriage House - Close to the City with a Farmhouse Feel

This newly constructed space has been designed to provide you with the comforts of an entire home with many eco-friendly features. It is a fusion of convenience and quiet within a natural setting. It was built and designed by the owners to incorporate rustic, organic elements with contemporary features, and to compliment the surrounding Vermont beauty. Stylized as a barn to juxtapose the new space with the existing property's historic farmhouse (main property). Enjoy a view of the secluded backyard canopy and our gardens from the back deck or soak up the afternoon sun from the large front windows while feeling the breeze through the windows.

This cozy oasis is located one mile from bars, restaurants, and the nightlife of Winooski, but also is only three miles from downtown Burlington. In addition, Bayside Beach in Malletts Bay is just three miles to the North where you can rent paddle boards, kayaks and pedal boats during the summer months. It is a short drive away from The University of Vermont, Saint Michael’s College, the Burlington Airport and half-hour from some of the best skiing New England has to offer.

It includes a fully-equipped kitchen, modern appliances, a tranquil and open bedroom, full bathroom, heat pump, electric fireplace, private deck and entrance. Washer, dryer, Wi-Fi and a great couch to lounge on! There is even an outdoor storage space. Enjoy the open, tiled shower with rain bath fixture and custom lighting options all over the space. Be prepared to relax!

Amazing
What a treat. This property is like staying in a top boutique hotel. Everything you could need. Extremely stylish, comfortable, and above all, very eco-freindly. I can't speak highly enough of it

Early autumn visit
We were so grateful to enjoy a few nights in this gem of a place just north of Burlington after being on the road for several weeks. Lovely design and well appointed space for enjoying on its own as well as positioning us for some fun hikes and bites within easy 30 minute commutes. We hope to return soon! Thanks again for setting us up so sweetly...

About the host

Hosted by Chris Thomas

Host profile image
Although we were raised in Vermont we are both world travelers. We purchased this property in 2013 and built the "barnyard tiny home" in 2016. We love meeting new people and desired to create a 'nest' for others to call home on their journey through this beautiful part of the Northeast. We love anything healthy, natural and wood grain. You can often find us dancing to our favorite 80’s classics while creating something new in the kitchen from our garden. We are passionate about food, flavors, learning new things and most of all... enjoying the simple things in life.

Why they chose this property

This spot is quite accessible to all areas of Vermont via our main roadway. Connections to main routes 7, 2, 15 and I-89. We have some of the most tree cover on our property that the neighborhood has to offer, while still getting great light from the sun 12+ hours a day (in the summer). The property and structures were sturdy, safe, and had charming vibes to them from first visit. We could not have asked for more.

What makes this property unique

1) Although biking and driving are of preference to get around, you can technically walk as far as Burlington from here, and it is a beautiful and mostly sidewalk-laden, stroll. There bike lanes on the roads through Winooski and into Burlington to note.
2) Biodiversity (birds especially) and lush growth on the property while having [Vermont] urban proximity.
3) Definitely before, but now more than ever, this property is ecologically optimized and energy conscious principles in use and available. We have a 5-star + building rating through Efficiency Vermont.
