Butterbox Barn is located in East Johnson, VT, across the road from the Gihon River. The neighborhood was once home to a small general store (now a home) and a number of mills. One former mill (also now a home) sits across the street in the middle of the river, and other small remnants of mills can be found. There is a covered bridge just down the road with good fishing, and people kayak the river in the spring. Learn more about this land: Sleep in a lovely old barn! The barn is located behind the house on a quiet road on the outskirts of Johnson. It has two stories with two full beds (bedding included). Downstairs has a kitchenette with a stovetop, oven, sink, fridge, and cookware; shower with hot water and toilet. The Gihon River is across the street and the covered bridge is a short walk. The barn has been made into a cozy and habitable space, but it is not insulated and there is no heat. There are fans to use when it's hot and blankets when it's cool. It is dry, with real beds, a bathroom, and space to cook. Please look at the photos and note you do need to go under a beam to get to the beds. Way better than camping! 10 minute walk to town with groceries, coffee, and the Vermont Studio Center. 20 minutes to Stowe. One hour to Burlington.45 minutes to Hill Farmstead Brewery.The Rail Trail is a five minute bike ride away and the Long Trail runs through town. Will pick up from the Long Trail!

Great stay!

I highly recommend the place, which is peaceful and has a lot of character. The host, Jen, was very welcoming. It is the perfect starting point for exploring the region!

Barn camping

Butterbox Barn was the perfect setting for me and my 2 girlfriends who love to cabin camp in Vermont. Our host, Jen, had everything we needed to feel right at home, including a stove, sink, small fridge, shower, and toilet. There was a firepit supplied with wood for burning. Unfortunately we only had one clear evening for a fire since it rained for most of the week. The upstairs loft was a comfortable for relaxing before turning in for the night. The only thing that was a bit inconvenient was the toilet wasn’t as private as we thought it would be. Luckily we are really close friends so we made it work. Overall, Butterbox Barn was a charming, rustic place for a getaway. We will definitely come back again! 😊
