About this property

Charming 4+bedroom farm stay just 10 minutes from downtown Barre

Welcome to the Great Brook House in Plainfield, Vermont! Experience the charm of this lovingly preserved 1870s brick home located on 10 acres of field and stream-10 minutes to Barre or Plainfield, 29 minutes to Montpelier and 55 minutes to Stowe. This country retreat sleeps 3 adults/2 children + your favorite canine (+pet fee) and is a perfect blend of historic beauty and modern comfort. Message me about the additional 128 private acres down the road perfect for exploring local flora and fauna!

From the Plainfield Village, your journey to The Great Brook House begins on East Hill Road. The pavement transitions to a scenic dirt road, leading you through rolling hills and expansive open fields. Along the way, you might spot wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, and the friendly neighborhood Highland Cattle.

After a few miles, you will arrive at The Great Brook House, where two open parking spots in front of the garage await your arrival. Enter through the screened porch into the dining room and fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to feel at home, including a drip coffee maker, a mini Keurig for single cup brewing, a new Bodum hot pot for tea drinkers, a blender, and many other kitchen amenities. The first floor offers a full bathroom, a carpeted bedroom featuring a double bed with memory foam mattress and an open living room with plush swivel chairs, a couch with ottoman, a small antique desk, and a large smart TV for your entertainment. Starlink internet supports uninterrupted service for those who need to hop on a virtual meeting.

On the south end of the house, a small carpeted den overlooks the patio, providing the perfect spot for a cozy nap or to watch your favorite show on the new 40" smart TV. The Corduroy bean bag conveniently converts to a full bed if extra sleeping space is desired on the first floor. Upstairs, there are three inviting bedrooms, one doubles as a dedicated workspace. The Brook Room features a California king bed with a Purple mattress, 40" smart TV and Envi wall heater while the Fox and Llama Rooms each offer one twin bed with memory foam mattresses. The Fox room doubles as a workspace and is provisioned with an antique desk and chair with gleaming wood floors and bright natural southern light.

After reviewing the guidebook, venture out to explore all the natural beauty this little piece of Vermont has to offer. At the end of your day, unwind on the porch or patio with a hot cup of joe or a refreshing Bee's Knees cocktail made with your complimentary jar of honey. Welcome to The Great Brook House, where comfort, convenience and tranquility await!

Beautiful place
We loved the beautiful, quiet, peaceful setting in a remote area but not too far from town. The house was wonderfully restored and well appointed with everything one could need. Hosts were very friendly and responsive to our questions. We will definitely want to return here on our next trip to VT.

Great house, great host!
Traveled with a group of 5 and had more than enough room here. Exactly what we were looking for! Very cozy. The master bed was extremely comfortable, bathroom was nice and clean with toiletries easily accessible, there was even candy waiting for us in the kitchen. Our host was extremely hospitable, responding to our messages promptly & making sure that we found everything we needed. Two of my friends left items behind, and our host didn’t hesitate to ship our items back to PA, even covering the cost of shipping. Cannot thank her enough!
