Remodeled Barn in Champlain Valley, Essex, NY

The barn that is attached to my 200 year old home was rebuilt in 2019 into an amazing 1 bedroom, 1 bath retreat. It is spacious, well equipped and dreamy. After the full re-build, the barn is now a highly efficient timber-frame hybrid living space using both original, re-claimed materials and the latest in energy-efficient products.

The area is serene and surrounded by beauty yet close to of all types of excitement. There are well maintained hiking trails within walking distance, you can take the ferry to Burlington for restaurants and shopping or hop the train to Montreal. The food movement is in full swing up here and that is another enjoyable attraction. In the town of Essex, there is a wonderful yoga studio, the Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness, several restaurants and interesting history.

The barn is a quiet and private getaway with mountain views, 3.5 miles from Essex and Lake Champlain--comfortable year round, with A/C in the summer and efficient heat and a wood stove for the cold months. The photos say it all!

Relaxing and comfy place
We had an amazing stay, and great sleep, the place is very well thought of and is so comfy and cozy, while still being spacious enough. It has everything you need and the location is perfect for hikes in the region as well as for taking the ferry to visit Vermont. Audrey is kind hearted and has a particular attention to details that helped us make our stay even better with very good communication and recommendations of things to do nearby. We wished we could have stayed longer and will definitely pass by again next time we are in the region. Great views and petting the horses were a plus! :)

Lovely, relaxing stay
The property is beautiful, the barn apartment is modern and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for folks who like to hike and just get out of a city environment - a ton of trails nearby and the views will make you forget you are in NY. Audrey was a gracious host and very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed a few local restaurants in the area and did some hiking in Vermont as well.

Amazing. Wouldn't change a thing and wish I were still there!
This place is a unique gem. It was very comfortable, clean, and cozy, and I loved the design and furnishings so much. The location was beautiful and peaceful. It was far enough away to feel like you were getting away yet close enough to amenities, unique stores, Lake Champlain, Burlington, VT, and the Adirondacks to the West. The natural setting was charming, and the friendly goats and hens added to that charm. Audrey was very friendly and the perfect host. I can't thank her enough for letting me stay at her special place, and I hope to visit again.

A Gem in Essex Countryside!
Refreshing, and Unique! That’s I would describe my stay at Audrey’s cabin. A very well thought out and eclectic decor for a small barn/cabin. There are animals to enjoy, countryside vistas, and you can see great sunsets, Camel’s Hump, Mount Mansfield, VT, across Lake Champlain. The drive there alone is very relaxing. There are several small towns in the area with crafts (Wood, pottery, ironwork), small cafes with local food and nice people to talk to. Very close to the Ferry as well, and 2 hours from Montreal, QC. Started the New Year there, with cool, crisp Winter air. I will definitely plan on returning in different seasons.

My wife and I were so comfortable and relaxed during our stay. The barn was just perfect, fully equipped kitchen, the restored barn was wanting for nothing. We enjoyed meeting the fouls and goats, and the scenery was just beautiful. Wonderful place to spend quiet time. Enjoyed meeting and chatting with the owner the day of our departure as well. Keith

Beautiful space and location!
This is an idyllic renovated barn, which is new and beautifully decorated. We loved the space! We didn't need it, but there is air conditioning. It is quiet and rural. The owner is just lovely, and we met her sweet dogs while we were there. If you wish you can visit her dwarf goats, which are really cute. The location is like a country paradise- conveniently located near the Essex, which is very pretty. There is a convenient car (or bike) ferry if you wish to take a quick jaunt over to VT, so there is a lot to do in a 30 mile radius. If you like biking, walking or jogging, these hills are made for you. Audrey supplies lots of brochures for activities, hiking, sightseeing and dining. This is one of our new favorite areas in New England and we hope to come back some day!

Adirondack Getaway
My husband and I had a wonderful time at the barn. From the moment I walked in I fell in love with it’s charm. It is filled with natural light and very charmingly furnished. It is also very comfortable and has everything you may need for an enjoyable stay. I hope to return one day in the fall to enjoy the wood burning stove and see the leaves change.

Relaxing
This property was very well-appointed. Full fridge and kitchen, including a gas range, all the pots and pans a good cook would appreciate, eclectic dishes. The renovated 'barn' is efficient and very comfortable. In fact, I would say that while the pictures give a pretty good idea of what to expect, the property over-delivered. It's beautiful. Audrey was very friendly and attentive. There is a great little 'guidebook' regarding local recommendations. Do yourself a favor and listen to Audrey. This is definitely a place to come to wind down and relax. Easy daily walks with our dog, lots of trails in the woods, and local mountains. The property is within easy drive of many destinations - VT, Lake Placid, Plattsburgh. We can highly recommend this property to others.

Awesome cozy rustic getaway
Although it was the coldest weekend with below zero temps this was the best place to escape relax and crank up the wood stove. Beautifully decorated converted barn had all the comforts of home. We wanted to snowshoe on the trail system but it was too cold. Would love to go back in the Fall and do some hiking.

Simply Stunning
My spouse and I stayed in this stunner and had a hard time leaving. The modern farmhouse accommodations oozed charm and relaxation in a glorious setting. While there, we were visited by guinea fowl, turkey, deer and coyote (we only heard the coyote). We were also able to spend a little time with the resident goats and neighbor’s cows. The home is within walking distance to many hiking trails. We hope to return to take advantage of the wood burning stove and a snowy landscape.

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay! The barn house was a great blend of rustic and modern, situated on a little slice of heaven just outside of Essex. Audrey provides her guests with all the information to help plan adventures, and the barn has all the amenities one could ask for in a comfortable stay. We would definitely make a return visit. Thank you, Audrey!
