About this property

The Spruce Guesthouse: A Beautifully Renovated Contemporary Barn.

Beautifully converted barn sits on 10 acres nestled amongst pines, hemlocks and birch trees. Situated in Peru Vermont, the barn is a 5min drive to neighboring Bromley Mountain, 15mins to Magic Mountain, 20mins to Stratton Ski Mountain, 30mins to Okemo and 12mins into the town of Manchester. We are also close to nearby Dorset and 17mins to the Vermont Summer Festival, a premier horse show event.
Perfect for families, couples, small groups, yoga retreats, equestrian aficionados, and those looking to disconnect.

The guesthouse barn shares the ten acre property with the main residence where the owners live. Although the homes share the land, the guesthouse is private, with its parking directly in front. The original rustic exterior reveals a mid-century inspired designer furnished interior with open living space that includes a brand-new shower with heated floors, new bathroom fixtures, brand-new lighting throughout the house, and a private yoga studio with heated floors available upon request. The hayloft on the top level has been converted into a hangout space for meditation or lazy late afternoons apres skiing or hiking.
Please note, the yoga studio has a separate entrance and requires a reservation to ensure availability as the owner often uses it. The yoga studio is also available for hosting retreats.

The barn showcases ceiling beams, heated floors, a cast iron fireplace, two bedrooms with full bathroom ensuites, on-site parking, high-speed Internet, Smart TV (loaded with Apps: Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV - login using your personal password), a fire pit and a spring-fed private swimming pond. Set back in the woods, the peaceful property is a nature lovers delight yet only 12 minutes to Manchester Center with an array of high-end restaurants and designer outlet shopping.
During winter months, the property is snow ploughed regularly and on the mornings of exceptional snowfall our plougher arrives between 6-7am to plough all common roads and then our double driveway. Main paved access roads are cleared ahead of dirt roads.

About the area:

Manchester and its surrounding areas offer several unique and unforgettable experiences.
During the winter months enjoy sleigh rides at local Taylor Farm, dogsledding, snowmobiling, local free ice-skating in the town of Peru. Try snow shoeing or Nordic skiing at nearby Wild Wings Nordic Center only a 6mins drive from the Spruce Guesthouse, and of course the world class Alpine skiing and snowboarding of the surrounding areas.
During summer enjoy the Vermont Summer Festival and Horse Show, take falconry lessons or visit the Southern Vermont Arts Center. The Land Rover Experience Driving School offers year round full day of off-road driving instructions on an 80 acre purpose built course.
Dining in every price range can be enjoyed within a 10 mile radius.

Perfect cozy Stratton retreat
Wonderfully kept property just 20mins from Stratton mountain base. Owners were very responsive and accommodating every request. Truly a gem! Every detail is thought about, and had some intense games of backgammon on the couch! We shared the accommodations witha family of 4 (2 children 8 & 10) as well as another couple. Worked out great, and plenty of space for us all to relax after a long day of skiing. Can’t wait to come back next year!

The Perfect Weekend Spot for Skiing
This location was everything we were hoping for for a 2 night stay in southern Vermont. Close to skiing at Bromley and exploring the Manchester area. Property is beautiful, quiet and this restored barn is perfectly situated for a family of four. Hosts Tatyanna and Michael were very gracious and accommodating. Definitely would consider staying here again.

Why they chose this property

Covid presented an interesting opportunity for my husband and I to move our family to Vermont. We had been moving further away from New York City over the years, nature was calling and the pandemic presented a scenario to rethink the way we were living. We are big skiers and our children are competitive alpine racers so living in the Northeastern ski area is perfect for them. I wasn't looking for a home or property on Stratton Mountain, I wanted to be nestled in nature, surrounded by trees yet close enough to Stratton and other mountains as well as access to a main town, and driving distance to major cities. The minute we arrived at our future 10 acres, I knew I was home.

What makes this property unique

This is a special place. I immediately feel in love with the property the day I came to see it and spent thirty minutes admiring the grounds, the pond, the fruit trees and the cabin before I even stepped foot into the main house. I saw potential with the barn to convert into a guest house-slash-yoga studio - to host retreats. friends and guests, something I've always wanted to do. And to have it all situated in a pine forest is just amazing.
