My wife and I had an excellent experience and stay. The home is represented accurately from the listing photos. Mimi communicated quickly. I would consider staying there again.
A beautiful home on a beautiful property. It was a perfect location for our son's graduation. We were able to have family stay together and enjoy time around the dinner table and on the patio.
We had such a lovely stay. Mimi is a great host, and her home is stunning,

We had a lovely stay at Mimi’s home. The house was large and beautiful and extremely comfortable and had every possible amenity we could need. It’s just a few minutes away from Middlebury College.
What a lovely place this is. Our family was very comfortable with the accommodations and the setting and style of the home are unparalleled. Communication with the owners was very easy and we had a perfect stay.
Blue Barn is a great place to stay-house is impeccable, furnishings are high quality and a very comfortable place to hang out. Location is ideal, quiet rural setting with fabulous views yet just five minutes to Middlebury.

Thanks Steve. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. You are welcome to return anytime. Thank you for leaving the house in great order.
We throughly enjoyed our visit at the Blue Barn. The house is simply amazing - so comfortable and beautiful. We wish we could live there. It was extremely convenient to the College. Just a perfect spot. Thanks for letting us use your getaway spot!
We had a wonderful stay at Mimi's home. It was the perfect place for a comfortable winter getaway. The kitchen has everything you might need if you choose to stay in. We also appreciated that the driveway was plowed during a winter storm so we could take advantage of local skiing. Mimi was always responsive and accommodating.
We had a fantastic stay at Blue Barn. We were picking up our son at sleepaway camp and also visiting the Middlebury Campus.
We were blown away by the beauty and comfort of Blue Barn. The decor is gorgeous and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The property manager's communication was helpful and hospitable.
It was the best experience we've ever had on a getaway!
My parents are in their 80's and this was their first VRBO stay. They were amazed at how beautiful the home and accommodations were. We loved every minute of sharing time with my Midd kid and her friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We wanted to return to Middlebury with our daughter, Midd 2016, to revisit the area and catch up with some friends. The Blue Barn worked out perfect. Great location near town. Very private and quiet, no road noise. All we could hear were the birds chipping and the cows mooing from the pasture next door! Beautiful house. We'll be back!

Hi Chris thank you for your kind words but I don't understand the one star review. That is very poor review indicating a poor experience and stay. 5 stars is the best. I hope this was an error and would be grateful if you would either explain the poor review and let us know how we can do better or if it was in error please contact to VRBOP to amend. Thank you kindly
The house is unusual - in a good way! We were able to do a large puzzle in the kitchen while others chatted in the living room or snoozed in their room. Bedrooms where on every floor - plenty for our group. The location is gorgeous - we elders were lucky to have enough snow to xc ski on the property, while the others went to Rikert Ski area for more adventurous skiing. Middlebury is close so we gave our chefs a break for dinner at Fire and Ice. The only drawback was mice, and I think they were only found in the basement bedroom.
We had such an incredible long weekend staying at the Blue Barn with our two kids and other basketball alumni. We had stayed here a few years back and were blown away by the new addition and updates throughout the house. Everything we could have wanted was there and accessible and the space was so comfortable, we really didn’t want to leave the house! Cozy and welcoming, beautifully maintained and ready for guests. Mimi was responsive and available and made check-in and check-out super easy! Cannot recommend this rental enough.

Thanks for your kind note Erin!! You all are welcome back anytime for future basketball reunions or even "just because." We appreciate you're taking good care of of the house.
This is a top-notch, gorgeously renovated barn that is architecturally stunning and very lavishly decorated. Yet it's very comfortable, functional and very Vermont. It's on very private grounds surrounded by cow pasture and woods that are natural and peaceful. We went in July when the grounds were teaming with fireflies at night.
Things were clean, neat and easy. Fully equipped kitchen with high end appliances and everything needed to cook an awesome meal. Would definitely stay again.
The Blue Barn was beyond what we expected from the listing! My husband and I stayed with our son and two best friends to get a break from the city, and it was everything that we wanted!!!
We can’t wait to come stay with The Blue Barn again.
Absolutely incredible home in a prefect location to Middlebury College. Everything about the house is perfect and our stay could not have been any better. Definitely looking forward to visiting again.
The “blue barn” was such a beautiful place to stay. We wished we could pick up the house and take it home with us. It is a very convenient location 3 miles from Middlebury. The place was clean and a great place to relax and unwind. We felt so secluded and we loved the views! We will definitely stay again if we come back to Middlebury some day! Host was also quick to respond. Thank you!
My wife and I had a wonderful long weekend at the blue barn. It's a beautiful property, and the cleanest rental property I've ever stayed in. Mimi was a friendly, easy to work with host. I heartily recommend the blue barn!
The Barn was perfect for our stay. The property was clean, peaceful, and very close to town. We loved keeping cozy by the fireplace in the morning when it was chilly and sitting on the back patio with the firepit at night. We will definitely be back! One thing to note--bring bug spray! The mosquitos (this was in August) were bitting!
