Imagine renting the former estate or the carriage house of a Nobel Prize winning author, enjoying a Greek Revival farmhouse that offers expansive views of the Connecticut River Valley and Mount Monadnock, or relaxing in a cozy Sugarhouse nestled at the edge of an heirloom apple orchard – all surrounded by the historic 571-acre Scott Farm in Dummerston, just minutes from Brattleboro; or staying in a centuries-old Vermont farmhouse with incredible birdwatching and relaxation opportunities on 30 acres in Whitingham, once home to Carthusian monks. Having authentically restored these five historic properties dating from 1802-1925, The Landmark Trust USA offers them as year-round, short-term vacation rentals.
