You may have heard of this Airbnb in Clarendon before. After all, it was featured on both HGTV and netflix.

The one-of-a-kind Airbnb, billed as “America’s only original Grist Mill & Covered Bridge residence,” promises a fairytale adventure for adults who just want to get away from it all.

A National Historic Site, the Kingsley Grist Mill and Covered Bridge spans 3,000 square feet over four stories. There are a lot of stairs so be prepared to do a fair amount of climbing.

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the historic Airbnb can comfortably accommodate up to four people. Its enchanting setting also makes it ideal for a romantic getaway.

The Airbnb also offers a full menu of amenities—WiFI, a fully equipped kitchen, and a delicious breakfast—every day.

If you think the inside is breathtaking, wait until you go outside. You have access to a private beach, perfect for lounging during Vermont’s warmer months.

Relax in the warm water river (the temperature is usually around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer) while admiring the beautiful mountain views.

Take one of the bikes and explore the area. Or prepare a delicious meal on the barbecue, perfect for eating on the private terrace.

No matter what time of year you visit, you’ll be treated to magnificent views.
