Welcome to our historic inn! This historic home, built by original Green Mountain Boy Samuel Safford in 1774, combines the beauty, charm, and décor of old-fashioned homes, with the comfort and amenities of modern living. New updates include bar room, a game room, and a hot tub. The home boasts 6 bedrooms, many of which also have private bathrooms. There are several gathering areas, which makes this home perfect for hosting large events such as family gatherings! Our large kitchen is fully functional with all major appliances and even contains an industrial sink; however the kitchen is not as polished as the rest of the home. Though much of the home has been updated, care was taken to preserve much of the wood work that was done in the original construction. We guarantee, the detail in the original work will astound you!

Our home is perfect for a ski trip! We are within an hour's drive from many world-class ski resorts including Mt. Snow, Stratton Mountain, and Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort. Our home also has several electric fireplaces, providing a cozy, comfortable atmosphere to come home to. After a day on the slopes, come back and enjoy our 8 person hot tub!

This home is a 10 minute walk from historic, downtown Bennington. Bennington is most well-known for the Bennington Battle Monument, which commemorates the Battle of Bennington during the American Revolutionary War and for being the resting place of Robert Frost, renowned American poet. Bennington is also home to several small art galleries and museums. Once you're done exploring, enjoy many of the restaurants and breweries within walking distance! There's also a fabulous restaurant, The Miller's Toll, right next to the house. We definitely recommend you make a reservation at this restaurant before your stay!

IMPORTANT NOTE: We have an occupied apartment adjacent to the main house, on the third floor. There is no access between the apartment and the main house.

**WE PREFER TO HOST GUESTS WHO ARE 25 OR OLDER**

**We can comfortably sleep 16 guests in beds and we also have a pack-and-play style crib for an infant. We welcome groups up to 22 people and encourage guests to bring extra sleeping materials. We can easily fit several air mattresses in the rooms, and groups over 16 guests are welcome to bring their own for sleeping.**

**We are pet friendly, so please be sure to include your pets in your inquiry, as the pricing will change to include an additional fee. While we are excited to welcome your fur babies into our home, we ask that guests be sure to clean up after their pets both inside and outside. We also ask guests to keep pets off of all furniture including beds. This makes cleaning easier and also protects future guests with allergies. Lastly, pets (especially dogs) MUST be crated if left alone in the home. If these particular rules are not followed, an additional fee may be added at the end of your stay.**

Family reunion
We had 15 members of my family in this old house. Another 5 at another VRBO , and 4 others that joined us all day Saturday. Good weather and the annual recognition of the Battle of Bennington was a wonderful surprise The house needs many repairs. The kitchen was a big disappointment

Great stay for a large group
We had a great weekend here celebrating a friend's birthday. There were tons of beds, lots to do in the house, lots of things to do nearby, and communication with the host was prompt and great throughout our time there. I would highly recommend.

Ideal location & good for large groups / multiple families
The property is situated in a great location within town. You can walk to several convenience stores and restaurants. Also a short walk to a playground right behind the property. Nice big yard set far enough back from the street to be private. The property is a converted BNB, so expect it to feel that way. Lots of space for people to spread out yet big enough common areas to come together. The bar room was great to gather in the evening. Note that the kitchen is pretty spartan; it's designed as a "service" kitchen right off of the bar room.

Amazing stay
16 members of our family came together to celebrate our Mom’s 80th birthday. This house in Bennington was classic history with modern conveniences. It is huge with big comfortable gathering spaces many bedrooms (with private baths). It was quiet, a houseful of people and in your bedrooms there was absolutely no noise. This incredible historic house is in walking distance to quaint downtown Bennington with its many shops and eateries. We had a wonderful time. Check in and check out so easy. Amazing accommodations led to an unforgettable vacation!

Escape to Green Mountain State
I, along with 11 girlfriends, comfortably stayed at this gorgeous historical home for the weekend. And Bennington, VT did not dissapoint! Perfectly close to downtown to walk in the morning for coffee, bagel sandwiches, antiques, and we even caught a food truck festival. **"The Local" had amazingggg honey cinnamon creamed cheese amongst others, best cream cheese bagel I've ever had. Almost every room had its own beautiful bathroom which made everyone's stay so comfortable. Rooms were so quiet when doors shut. Beautiful yard and firepit, along with grill and kitchen access made for memories of group dinners and endless laughs. We can't wait to come back and do it again. Thank you for a safe, clean, and professional rental! It truly felt like home away from home for the weekend. :)

Fantastic Property for Groups
My friends and I stayed at the property for a weekend and the house and outdoor space were fantastic (and larger than expected). Vermont is beautiful in the summer and this house didn’t disappoint. The layout worked really well for everyone to have their own rooms/bathrooms and also space for the whole group (12) to gather comfortably. We enjoyed using the bar room for meals, the sun room, game room, and fire pit. The proximity to town and activities was an added bonus as we could walk to local restaurants. Every accommodation was thought of and it was perfect for our group. The Property Manager was super helpful and communicated well before/during/after our stay. Would definitely book the property again!
