The Art Barn

The barn, the meadows and the play field

The mural-covered 19th-century barn stands between two large meadows behind the house, each with a fire pit. A leveled 60' by 60' field is set up for volleyball, badminton and frisbee. No bonfires; small campfires are fine, and no glass on the meadow. The lawn borders the Green Mountain National Forest, and hiking trails start directly behind the house.
