The Dutton Farmhouse has 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and can sleep up to 8 guests. It is located on a scenic Vermont country road bordered by historic New England dry stone walls, maple trees, and the beautiful Scott Farm orchard. You can hike, bike, or snowshoe right out the front door. The view is amazing! While you’ll feel a world away, you’ll be only 5 miles from Interstate 91 and 10 minutes from Brattleboro or Putney.
The Dutton Farmhouse was meticulously restored to its 1840s period style and offers an enchanting opportunity to step back in time to a slower era. The house is fully furnished, with all linens and a complete kitchen. This spacious house is perfect for retreats and family or friend gatherings in any season.
The first floor features, a living room with a cozy gas log stove, parlor, kitchen, pantry, 3 season game room, laundry room, bedroom (queen bed), one full bathroom and a dining room with a colorful mural created by French-Canadian orchard workers who lived in the farmhouse during the growing and harvesting season in years past. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal for 12 except the food (but great restaurants and grocery stores are close by).

The country road is a favorite for local walkers and good for biking or mountain biking, but a car is the best method for getting around the region.
Locally you can enjoy festivals and fairs, hiking, biking or paddling on one of its many rivers, lakes, or ponds. The town is alive with local artists, musicians, crafts people, museums, and galleries. Brattleboro is also a destination for beer lovers! Enjoy a pint of local craft beer in a local microbrewery and bring home a growler or two. Don’t forget Scott Farm’s very own hard cider! Take a class at the New England Center for Circus Arts. The New England Youth Theatre has plays and performances all year long. If you love music, enjoy a show at The Stone Church, Vermont Jazz Center, a concert or movie at the historic Latchis Theatre.
