Story Cottage – A Charming Vermont Retreat Nestled amidst rolling farm fields, Story Cottage is a beautifully designed 2-bedroom modern cottage offering the perfect balance of contemporary style and countryside tranquility. The open-concept layout features clean lines, eco-friendly cork flooring, and a cozy wood stove. The exterior walls are constructed with structural insulated panels (SIPs), providing excellent energy efficiency. Set on 2 private acres, the property includes two fenced areas—currently a vegetable garden and dog yard—as well as a chicken coop, wood storage shed, and shipping container for added storage. Enjoy breathtaking views of open meadows by day, and stunning Adirondack sunsets from the west-facing deck in the evening. Just minutes from Middlebury’s vibrant arts, dining, and shopping scene, and only a short drive to Lake Dunmore. Burlington is about an hour away. Story Cottage can be sold mostly furnished and has a proven track record as a successful short-term rental. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an investment property, this charming Vermont home offers both.
