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.

Gorgeous Blue Barn

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!

Perfect getaway

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.

Awesome stay for Midd Alums

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.

Reunion with our daughter

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!

Great stay at The Blue Barn

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.

A definite must stay!

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!

A wonderful oasis

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!

House in the Field

This wonderful property in the Cornwall farm country was an excellent home-base for a week of central Vermont exploration. The high quality of the construction (trim, beams, floorboards, etc.) was evident and appreciated. The stairs are loud, but the house is gorgeous.
