Wonderful Stay

The barn was amazing. It is very spacious. There was so much to do without even leaving the property. But there is plenty to do in town also.

Gorgeous, rustic but luxurious converted barn

This is a really special place. the property is a meticulously renovated barn, gorgeous, clean interior and amenities. Jeff was not only welcoming but provided guidance on much to do on and off the property. Will definitely be returning!

Breathtaking

The barn was spacious and had everything we needed. The property is breathtaking, great location to the town, and Jeff was a great host. Our dogs were welcome, living their best life running around the property, and it was so special to see the mountains and just breathe in the air there. Would love to come back in the warmer weather!

Wonderful Vacation

We enjoyed our short stay at the farm. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. The beautiful grounds match the house with a picturesque pond and a hiking trail to the falls. Jeff was very attentive and always ready to help and answer our questions. We are very grateful to him for our very relaxing vacation.

Authentic Vermont

The barn at Boorn Brook farms is an authentic rustic renovated barn. It is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding area is gorgeous. We would definitely come back. The gently falling snow and the smell of the fire added to the magic.

Wonderful location, excellent property

The property is in a great location, close to Manchester, yet private and quiet at the same time. The barn is spacious, well fitted out, with excellent decor and it is very warm. The hot tub under the stars was a real treat, as were the huge log fires we had going every night. There are trails close by, good for walking and our dog loved it. The owner Jeff is very helpful and friendly. This is a really nice place, we will definitely be coming back, and we can recommend it meanwhile.

Even better than the pics

The property is fantastic. We stayed for a weekend of skiing (25-30min drive to Stratton), and though we were unable to ski due to weather, we had an amazing time at the barn. We brought two dogs with us who loved running around outside. The kitchen is well equipped, the house is clean and comfy, and the property itself is beautiful. Would highly recommend staying here in any season.

Beautiful Manchester Barn

My family and dog had a great time at the barn. The property is beautiful and surrounded by mountains. The barn is very large and much nicer in person. We enjoyed playing pool, relaxing by the outdoor fire pit, walking the trails on the property and fishing. Our dog loved going on hikes and swimming in the pond. There are many nice hikes in the area and Manchester is a short drive away, so the location was perfect for us.

Beautiful, peaceful, home in the mountains

We couldn't be happier with out stay. Plenty of space for a family of 5 + our dog. The charm of the barn, the full kitchen, fireplace, and two bathrooms made for a very comfortable stay. The property is beautiful for hiking or snowshoeing given that it backs up to so much green space. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we had some travel hiccups from a Winter storm. We have gone now two years in a row and would love to come back. It's one of those places you hope will stay a secret :)

Perfect spot

We worried the unique listing was a little too good to be true but it was not. It was awesome! The location (snugged in the mountains), the town (Manchester), the property, the barn ... everything was just perfect. We had planned on doing some day trips throughout the stay but ended up travelling only minutes away (for some great hikes) because we were so happy at the barn. Summer trip for us but the property would be incredible any season. Bring your tennis gear - great court!

Breath of fresh air

This property was beautiful from start to finish. The host, Jeff, met us when we first arrived and gave us the lay of the land. He was very cordial and easy going. There is plenty to do on the giant chunk of land that you can rent with this property. Go swimming in the private pond with a beach, feed the friendly goats, play tennis or handball, have a bonfire or grill, run through the endless yard or hike on multiple trails that connect to the property, watch the bees work their honey magic, or relax in the hot tub. There is also plenty of space inside with room to spare as well as a pool table and multiple board games for your entertainment purposes. The barn is centrally ocated about 10 minutes from the town of Manchester and other country markets for locally sourced goods and food. This barn was a welcomed breath of fresh air and we would consider staying here again if we were ever in the area. Thank you for your warm hospitality Jeff!

Lovely property

Wish we were able to stay longer than 2 days at this wonderful place. Great location, about 6 minutes to Manchester center as well as many restaurants and shops. The enclosed stone wall courtyard between our barn and the owner’s house was beautiful and very useful for our dog to run around. We found all the amenities we needed within the barn, window ACs made the space cool and comfortable over 95F weather days. Beautiful views at sunset with quintessential Vermont rolling hill. The owner was super friendly and helpful with information as needed. We would certainly love to return soon!

EXCEPTIONAL!!!

I cannot give Boorn Brook Farm enough stars! It is perfection! Jeff is incredibly gracious and made us feel so welcome. His love and appreciation for the property is contagious! The barn was so fun to explore. Every beam tells a story. The grounds are impeccably maintained. Beautifully mowed meadows with Mountain views in both directions. The woods leading to the rushing creek are straight out of a fairytale. Beams of sunlight shine through the trees onto the moss covered trails. You expect little fairy’s to go flying by! Our dog had the best time of her life…playing in the creek and chasing her ball in the spring fed pond. She safely ran all over the grounds. Our teen loved the backstop on the tennis court to practice his soccer shots. Jeff suggested we climb the hill next to the barn after dark to watch the stars and see the fireflies. We did and it was incredible! We also took the nearby hike to Lye Falls which was awesome. And played in the creek and pools at the foot of Benson Rd. The pup loved both of these adventures! The town of Manchester is darling. So pretty with so many shops and restaurants to choose from. And conveniently located just a few minutes from the farm. We had excellent meals at Pearls, The Copper Grouse and the Turkish restaurant whose name I can’t recall. This was our first time in Vermont and we totally nailed it! One of the most memorable short term rental experiences I’ve ever had! Thank you Jeff!

Beautiful Farm and Property in Manchester

We had a great stay at Boorn Brook Farm. The property was beautiful and Jeff was a great host. We had a great time hiking the property with our dog and making pizzas in the brick oven. We can't wait to come back.

Well Meaning Owner-Beautiful Space But Some Issues

On the plus side, the space is really unique with an earthy feel inside and really nice grounds w honey production from bees tended on property near house. That honey was in our gift basket. Key Pros-1) Owner always kindly responded in texts and with prompting helped solve bat in space problem. 2) Nice atmosphere. Cons 1) No key or lockbox made available to us through owner which was awkward since we were definitely staying and did not want to fuss; we felt forced to keep doors unlocked for stay 2) we did not realize the main hangout space was not air conditioned, but fans did a good job 80 percent of the time if one sat near them. 3) the owner allowed early check-in and maybe the crumbs and a dirty utensil happened due to this haste. 4) When the bat problem happened, owner was at first nonchalant to first message in the early evening. I texted that a bat was flying around our main space. We had discovered it returning from our dinner when we turned on the lights. He had to be prompted to take action. We intended to leave if he had not. Obviously, this episode was not the first for him and he expected us to open a window and just hope the bat left. He swatted it away and it may have flown out. We slept with towel under the bedroom door & apartment in basement, much cooler than FR w fans was then unlocked for our friends who did not have a door, only a curtain on their room so unprotected from bat.

An Unforgettable Stay at Boorn Brook Farm: A Perfect Blend of Nature, Relaxation, and Adventure

We had an incredible stay at Boorn Brook Farm in Manchester, Vermont! From the moment we arrived, Jeff, our gracious host, made us feel at home by warmly welcoming us and providing an overview of the property. The farm itself is a stunning escape, surrounded by natural beauty and plenty of activities to enjoy. The vast land offers something for everyone, whether it’s playing tennis, handball, basketball, exploring the hiking trails, or simply relaxing by a bonfire. There is also a hot tub off of the bedroom. Inside, the barn is spacious and inviting, complete with a pool table. The location is ideal, just a short drive to the charming town of Manchester and local markets stocked with delicious, fresh goods. Our stay at Boorn Brook Farm was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and we’re already looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Jeff, for your warm hospitality and for sharing this beautiful property with us!

Unbelievably beautiful!

What a gorgeous property with an incredibly supportive and respectful host. The inside of the barn/house is so spacious - it can easily accommodate a family, without concerns for crowding. The master bedroom is very comfortable with a beautiful view of the yard. The 2nd bedroom is adorable and somewhat smaller. Great for kids. The area is just spectacular. Highestly recommend staying here!
