Welcome home.
The property & community
This farmhouse was thoughtfully designed and built in 2012 by local carpenters and craftspeople using natural materials and traditional building methods. The result is a quiet, honest space that feels deeply rooted in the landscape and honors the our intention of simple, sustainable living. We are especially mindful of using only natural, non-toxic cleaning products, and providing high-quality organic cotton sheets and linens.
Shrewsbury, Vermont is a quiet mountain town where life follows the pace of the seasons. It still feels like a true community, centered around working farms and neighbors who actually know each other. Life happens in person: a stop at the general store, live music at the meeting house, or an afternoon at the lake.
Kitchen & Living Room
The main living space features custom woodwork, large windows framing the surrounding forest, abundant natural light, and a simple, grounded energy that makes it easy to slow down and settle in. Spend your afternoon preparing a meal in the full, farm kitchen, finding your way back to childhood piano lessons, or curling up with a tea and good book on the couch. The home is made for slow mornings and shared meals.
Two bedrooms & one and a half bathrooms
The two simple, cozy bedrooms are designed for bedtime stories and restorative sleep. There is one private room with a queen bed and another shared room with two double beds and a twin bunk. Each room has plenty of storage and generous windows to welcome in the morning light. The spacious full bathroom offers a shower tub, and extra large vanity.
Additional details & spaces
The farmhouse is filled with thoughtful, local touches and details, including artwork, custom woodwork, and practical storage spaces that help you unpack and settle in.
Porch & Outdoors
The wrap-around covered porch (with a hammock!) is tucked into the trees and the best spot to slow down and listen to the birds. Tucked away from the road, the yard is a mix of established gardens and seasonal herbs and flowers, with a firepit, barbecue, and a swing set for long, slow afternoons outside.
