Property details

Fall foliage kicking in! Attending a wedding at Farm Road Estate? Need a pet-friendly walkable location? We're directly across the street—a quick walk to the venue. Next to the VT Adventure Challenge & 1846 Tavern! Perfect for weddings and traveling professionals, this renovated first-floor 2BR blends historic charm with modern comforts—escape puzzle box and heated bathroom floors included.

Historic front porch renovation is finished! Grab a seat and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

🌟 Upstairs and the Whole House are separate listings! If this unit shows as blocked for your dates, please check our host profile or message us to see if the other units are available.

HISTORIC CHARM:
The 1827 House is on the historical register and famously served as the village general store and Post Office! It has been beautifully renovated with modern amenities while keeping its historic soul.

FIRST FLOOR APARTMENT:
Features a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, an in-unit laundry closet, a mudroom, and a beautifully spacious open Great Room with a large sectional sofa, electric fireplace, and a Frame TV.

BEDROOMS & EXTRA BEDS:

Bedroom 1: Features a comfortable King-size bed.

Bedroom 2: A cozy second bedroom featuring a comfortable Full-size bed.

Extra Bedding: We also provide a roll-away bed (fits nicely in the Great Room).

BATHROOMS:
Features a convenient half-bath (toilet room) and a completely separate luxury shower room with radiant heated floors and a heated towel rack.

Once the snow melts, step right outside onto the village sidewalks to enjoy the fresh Vermont summer air and easy walkability!

You have exclusive access to the entire first floor, which is completely separated from the upstairs unit by a locked vestibule door for your privacy.

🚗 PARKING & ARRIVAL:
The 1827 House is located directly on RT100 with easy, level access and dedicated parking right outside. Our parking lot conveniently connects right with the West Dover Inn and the 1846 Tavern lot.

📍 THE PERFECT VILLAGE LOCATION:
Leave your car behind! You are in a prime, highly walkable spot in the heart of the village. Step onto the sidewalks to easily walk to:

Local dining and spots (1846 Tavern, The Sawmill Inn, Saloon, Pizzeria)
Weddings and events right across the street at Farm Road Estate
Miles and miles of scenic hiking and biking trails (seasonal)
Mt. Snow Golf Course (just 1 mile up the hill)
The historic village church and local escape rooms
The free "Moover" shuttle stop for effortless valley travel

🌲 EXPLORING THE VALLEY:
If you want to venture further out, you are just a 5-minute drive to the main Mt. Snow resort area, 10 minutes to Haystack Golf Course, 6 miles to downtown Wilmington, and 20 minutes to Stratton.

This is an old building with a ton of character and history! Most floors are not level and rooms might not be square. The house has been beautifully renovated with modern amenities to provide a warm, inviting, and memorable stay.

NEED A LARGER SPACE? We also rent the second-floor (3BR) unit separately, or the entire house (5BR) for larger groups. If you need a different layout, check our profile or message us for availability!

GOOD TO KNOW:

🔊 ROAD & EVENT NOISE: We are directly on RT100, so please expect some road noise. Music from weddings across the street or local music festivals can sometimes be heard, though the town gets very quiet after 10 PM.

🚪 HOUSE LAYOUT & PRIVACY: You have entire access to the first floor. The upstairs unit is separated by a locked vestibule door. Sound can travel between the units in this historic home, so we kindly ask all guests to respect quiet hours when the upstairs is occupied.

🗝️ VT ADVENTURE CHALLENGE: Our house is part of the challenge! You will see an old safe out by the garage where adventurers may be exploring.

💻 MODERN COMFORTS: High-speed fiber internet is available throughout via a nested system (includes a monitor to connect your laptop for workcations). We also provide coffee to start your day!

🛡️ SECURITY: A security camera floodlight is present at the rear entrance/garage area facing the parking lot.

We strive to make this a unique stay that creates lifelong memories. Cheers!

Rich and Nicky's home was absolutely beautiful. They were incredibly communicative and generous hosts with lovely amenities in their home. The area is classic southern Vermont and just a phenomenal place to decompress. We had let them know we had just gotten married and they went absolutely out of their way to make the trip wonderful.

Nicky and Rich‘s place had plenty of room and was very comfortable. They reached out several times to make sure everything was OK and to make sure we didn’t have any questions. My wife and I enjoyed our time there and would certainly look to stay there again in the future. Thank you, Nicky and Rich!

This was the most fantastic stay! The beds were next level comfortable, and we all slept like babies! We sat on the front porch and enjoyed cocktails and coffee, and the beautiful weather! This was an absolutely unforgettable experience! We can’t wait to visit again and hopefully score this amazing property!
