About this property
Peaceful 2-bedroom apartment with AC in charming Canaan
A Thoughtful Home Base for Focused Work and Real Rest
This restored 1875 Victorian sits in the quiet village of Canaan, Vermont, at the crossroads of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Canada. It offers a steady, comfortable place to land for traveling professionals, remote workers, and anyone needing calm between demanding days. The home is close to regional hospitals, essential services, and easy access to lakes, rivers, and walking trails.
The private second-floor apartment features two bedrooms. One bedroom is set up for restful sleep, while the second offers flexibility for work or additional sleeping space and includes a small desk positioned for quiet, focused work. Thick walls, tall windows, and natural light create a peaceful atmosphere throughout the day, with dark, quiet nights ideal for deep rest.
Amenities include fast, reliable Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen for cooking proper meals, a full bathroom with a hot shower, comfortable seating, and consistent heat. The space is intentionally simple and functional—everything works, and nothing competes for your attention.
Outdoors, guests can step outside into a classic New England village setting. Lakes, rivers, and trails are just minutes away, making it easy to decompress with a short walk or fresh air break. Evenings are quiet, with minimal light pollution and clear views of the night sky.
This is not a flashy vacation rental—it’s a practical, peaceful home base designed to support focus during the day and genuine recovery at night. If your work requires steadiness, clarity, and rest, this space offers exactly that.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Patrick
I’m a Vermont-based musician, educator, and host who loves creating spaces where people can slow down, rest, and feel at home. I care deeply about preserving older buildings and the stories they carry, and this historic Victorian home is especially meaningful to me because I grew up here. Life eventually led me to Newbury, Vermont, and as my mother got older she asked me to take over caring for the rentals, a role I happily embraced. Because I live about two hours away with my family, a trusted friend and his family live on the ground floor and serve as the caretaker and property manager, helping ensure the home is well cared for and guests are supported during their stay. Hosting gives me the chance to share a small piece of the Northeast Kingdom with travelers from all walks of life — whether you’re here for outdoor adventure, remote work, or simply a quiet place to recharge.
Why they chose this property
Canaan sits at a unique crossroads where Vermont, New Hampshire, and Canada meet, and that blend of cultures and landscapes gives the area a special character. The pace is slower here — quiet streets, big skies, and easy access to mountains, lakes, trails, and back roads. I love how peaceful it feels while still being connected to the wider region. It’s a place where people come to breathe a little deeper and enjoy the outdoors in every season.
What makes this property unique
This Victorian home was built in 1875 by a doctor who used it as his summer residence and place of practice, returning to Boston each winter when the seasons changed. During that time, the house also served as a gathering space for wakes and funerals, quietly weaving itself into the history of the surrounding community.
Today, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined into four separate apartments that honor its past while offering modern comfort. Original architectural details, warm woodwork, and the distinctive third-story turret — with views that stretch all the way into Canada — give the property a sense of character that’s hard to replicate. Staying here feels less like renting an apartment and more like becoming part of a living piece of Northeast Kingdom history.
