Barn in Morristown, VT

Welcome to the bunkhouse in Morristown, VT! I stayed here for one night in September of 2025 with my dog, Mabel, and it’s one of the most unique and interesting places I’ve ever stayed at. The weather was perfect and the location was picturesque!

The barn, which is part of Red Road Farm, used to be a refuge for Hollywood movie horses from films such as Silverado, The Three Amigos, and Young Guns.

Red Road Farm is a prominent, private 200-acre estate just 9 miles outside of Stowe. You are surrounded by open meadows, orchards and woods which is home to many different kinds of wildlife including bear and moose. In fact during the night, I thought I heard footsteps outside my door as all the barn doors on each side of the barn were kept open. But I was safe inside the bedroom which had a solid locked door.

Please join me as I take you through a photo tour of this mesmerizing Airbnb rental (Barn in Morristown, VT).

The barn is completely open inside with the exception of the bedroom and bathroom.

The views are simply phenomenal from all sides

This is a different barn in the distance which is closer to the main house. However, the location is extremely private and quiet. I didn’t even hear a mouse peep. Although I did hear footsteps during the night perhaps from wild animals walking through the barn.

Love the shadow of the cowboy hat

Viggo Mortensen has always been one of my favorite actors

Mabel and I want to come back. This place was surreal and transcended time. I felt like I was in the set of an old wild west movie complete with the scent of horses, leather and hay.

If you’re into beautiful unique and private places that rejuvenate the soul, this is a place you absolutely must experience.

Cabin on the Hill

This tiny cabin is one of the most charming and amazing cabins I’ve ever stayed at. It’s located in Hartland, VT, and you can find it on Airbnb here. Even though it’s off grid, it provides a lot of extras you would not expect to find in a cabin that does not have plumbing or electricity. This rustic and rugged cabin is 12′ x 14′ with a large sleeping loft and a wonderful wood stove. There are many windows that offer beautiful views which make you feel extra connected to nature.

The surrounding woods have a private park-like quality with many hiking/biking trails and paths to explore. There are some bicycles around the cabin and one said “free bike rentals – 25 cents.”

You may wonder what I like about off-grid cabins in the woods, and there are many reasons why I love them: helps to reconnect with nature, provides a peaceful and quiet environment, restores mental outlook, promotes healthy exercise, and embraces minimalism. Simply put, it’s rejuvenation for the soul.

This is the perfect time of year as the woods were lush and green

It’s such a magical spot

My traveling companion, Mabel, gives this place an enthusiastic paws up!

Can we stay one more night, pretty please?
I promise to protect you, Mom, in exchange for some cookies

There are many amenities such as an outside cooking area with two propane burners, a tea kettle, patio furniture, and a tarp for protection from the rain.

The canopy came in handy
They even provided wine glasses!
I just love that old wooden front door and chair
There was a hanging light that cast a pretty glow over the table
There was a neat fire pit a short distance from the cabin
The host provided drinking water and a cooler with ice

Mabel and I greatly enjoyed our stay and we want to go back (Mabel seconds that). If you want to unplug and recharge while being surrounded by the beauty and quietude of nature, this is the perfect rental. Even if you do not consider yourself to be an outdoor enthusiast, this place is worth checking out. You may become a woods enthusiast, too!
