About this property
Spectacular home on 60 acres, swimming pond & trails, pet friendly + EV charger
This spacious, eco-friendly, pet-friendly and very private timber frame property is in East Orange, Vermont where sugar maples and mountain views abound. Relax on the large deck or take a swim in our private pond. Hike or bike on miles of well-maintained single and double track trails. Evenings can be spent roasting marshmallows from Adirondack chairs around the fire pit (firewood provided) or playing ping pong in the basement. If you enjoying cooking, you will love our well-appointed, open plan kitchen with breakfast bar and country-style dining room table. There is also a large picnic table and gas grill for outdoor dining with complimentary views of the Milky Way, and during the day your kids may enjoy exploring the brook or pond, playing board games, flying high on our rope swing or curling up with a book from our extensive children's book collection. If you need to stay connected, we have now installed high speed fiber optic service so you can work from away without interference from weather or external users. And you will find a level 2 EV charger to ensure you have plenty of charge in your electric vehicle to explore the surrounding area. This is a delightful spot to enjoy the quiet beauty of Vermont in any season.

Great property in a secluded location. We loved the privacy and the quiet for getting away from the hustle of city life. Our dog loved roaming around the property, and the house is very nicely set up for hosting a big family group - we had 8 people comfortably stay. Would definitely come back.
The communication and willingness of the owner to work through some unexpected weather challenges was very nice. This was a mother/daughter trip and the location and place house were both a very nice. We day tripped around the state and also enjoyed morning walks on the property and late night, moonlit laughs on the rope swing.
Perfect place for the attendees to a local craft retreat to stay and experience the beauty of Vermont. The house had everything the guests needed to be completely content and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
This area of Vermont is very special to my family, so we were excited to find a VRBO listing and thrilled to see everything it has to offer. The house is well equipped and spacious. The property and view are incredible. Definitely would like to plan a repeat visit.

Such a great property! We came for the eclipse but absolutely did not want to leave. The home was clean, well-equipped, cozy and perfect. Our hosts were communicative and lovely. I am looking forward to coming back again soon; our experience couldn’t have been better.
Our group of 6: grandparent, parents, 3 kids had a great time staying here. Spacious home, beautiful surroundings, lots of room to roam around for the kids. Very peaceful and private. We loaded up on food for the week and large ate in the house. It’s somewhat of a drive to get to restaurants and attractions, but we didn’t mind.
10/10 for our stay. The place is beautiful, very clean, and had all the things needed to make our stay stress free. Such an enjoyable time. They even had bowls for the dogs. They also had boxes of blocks/cars, our kids absolutely enjoyed this part. Such a nice time
Relaxing and quiet. beautiful views. Comfortable and nicely appointed amenities. Our short stay did not allow time or have the weather cooperate to
explore the available trails but looked interesting. We spent quality family time removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. It was just what we needed.
We love our time at Genevieve and Colin’s amazing house and property and this was our third year! They are amazing and attentive hosts. We had everything we needed including the maple syrup they left for us (it’s amazing in coffee, btw).
If you want a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting and don’t necessarily want to see many other people , this is the place for you! You can hike, bike, swim, hammock, contemplate nature, then head into Barre to the grilled cheese restaurant.
Where do we begin? Genevieve and Colin's place was amazing. It was beautiful, spacious, welcoming, warming, and so comfortable. The pictures really don't do justice to the house and its surroundings. Our group of four got together to reconnect and work (a writing retreat). The hosts were amazingly prompt when communicating with us. We can't wait to return.
We loved our vacation here. There is so much to do on the property. The pond is good for swimming, but not much of a shore so you have to go off the dock. The owners are super responsive and made sure our stay was great. The trails are a lot of fun. There is only one small TV, which was fine for us as we were busy with other activities, but just wanted to note it. We could very easily spend another week here and would be happy to visit again. It was one of our best family vacations!
This was our second year at Rock Place and we had a wonderful time! The house is in the middle of nowhere in the best possible way. Our young adults and dogs had space to roam, relax, and play. The Hannaford in nearby Barre had everything we could need grocery-wise, and we had dinner out one night at the Ladder One Grill, also in Barre.
Burlington is a great day trip, and don’t forget the Ben and Jerry’s factory tour. (Pro tip: Book your tickets 2 weeks before you travel.)
Or, be like us and hang out around the fire, on the deck, or by the pond and just enjoy nature with your favorite people then play some Rummikub after dinner.
The house has all the linens and kitchen ware you need and the beds are super comfortable!
We are repeat guests at this beautiful scenic home and it never disappoints! We had everything we needed at the house and soaked up the scenery, fresh air, and much needed quiet. Genevieve is a fantastic host and we will definitely be back!
Beautiful home in a beautiful location. The owners were wonderful to work with, everything went very smoothly. Would definitely return next time we are in the area!
Had a spectaular time with the family for a 4th of July getaway. So much to do right on the property it was relaxing but with still so much to do! So much space our city dogs were in heaven to be off the leash for a few days. Stunning views! Would stay again!!
This is a unbelievable property with beautiful views and spaces to explore. We can’t wait to come back. The hosts are great and we even had the refrigerator go bad which they replaced the next day. If you are coming to Vermont this is the place to stay.
Beautiful views, awesome trails, amazing property and a clean, comfortable, and cute house. And a great swimming pond! What more could you ask for? Genevieve was super nice and responsive. We can’t wait to stay again, it was the perfect week.
Colin and Genevieve's home was the perfect setting for a milestone birthday celebration with eight friends. The seating areas and bedrooms were all comfortable and the large dining room table was perfect for our meals. Kitchen and bathrooms were modern, well-equipped and clean. We appreciated the fresh flowers inside the house and the seasonal decor on the comfortable deck. The hosts have thought of everything!
This property was wonderful. Exactly as advertised. Views were outstanding and the house had everything we needed. My husband and I stayed with our adult children and their significant others. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The property is literally in the middle of nowhere, but for us that was no problem because we had family close by. I would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for our needs.
