Formerly a musician's retreat, the view from the studio looks out over the lovely Green Mountains of Southern Vermont. Well insulated for sound and comfort, the studio offers privacy, peace and quiet and a chance to relax in the serene beauty of the Vermont woods. We converted the music studio into a guest suite, adding a modern kitchen and bath (shower only, no tub). The carpeted living space is well heated in Winter and has air conditioning in Summer. Recessed lighting adds to its understated charm. With 100 mile views of the mountains, the studio also offers full drapes for our guests who like to sleep in and is amply soundproofed. The kitchen features a new electric stove, microwave, apartment-sized refrigerator, coffee maker, pots, pans, cutlery and dishes. We provide spices and most condiments, tea and coffee, and some yummy Vermont treats. Pure artesian well water runs from the tap and is full of healthy minerals. The main space holds a queen bed with new mattress and luxury topper, and a small couch which folds out to a single bed. A twin-sized air mattress with full beddings is also available upon request. The studio is accessible by stairs, with a private ground floor entrance off the garage, separated from the main house by a shared breezeway. High-speed internet is included for our guests who prefer not to unplug while visiting. On a clear night constellations and the milky way can be seen overhead just outside the front door. Due to family allergies, no pets are present on this property, although you may see local wildlife including turkeys, deer, and occasionally bobcats and porcupines. We are fifteen minutes from the vibrant arts and cultural scene of Brattleboro, and forty-five minutes from Amherst, Massachusetts. Mount Snow Ski Resort is an hour away.

Our family has maintained a home in Guilford for over 50 years. We've also lived in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, and spent several years "on the road". Time spent traveling taught us the importance of hospitality, which we aim to offer 100% to all of our guests. We built our comfortable post and beam house in the '90's to raise our children. We enjoy being able to share our homestead with our guests, and enjoy getting to know the many wonderful people who have passed through our doors. If you love privacy and the beauty of the mountains, we think you will like it here! We look forward to welcoming you.
