Mountain Living at its Best
Welcome to our Vermont Home Tour. This is a curated page that helps you navigate throughout the blog. It is divided into sections based on unique spaces in the home. I hope you find lots of inspiration here today, friends! Don’t forget to check out our Coastal Maine Home Tour too!
A small red ranch in the mountains of Vermont! I never would have dreamed of it…
I had visions of a post and beam with a view to die for. Instead, we found a home with a view and this amazing front porch to sit on, and we were sold!
Welcome to our red ranch home in the Green Mountains of Vermont, as we enjoy the views, outdoor living, Appalachian trail hikers, cold winter months, and neighbors we invite over by simply ringing a bell!
A Walk Around the Yard
What drew us to this home was its breathtaking views of the Green Mountains of Vermont from the front porch. Join us here in the fall around the conversational fire pit, take a dip in the hot tub on a snowy winter day, or sit for a spell and chat. You’ll probably meet a neighbor or two while you are visiting, too.
Be sure to visit our Vermont Fall Foliage Home Tour for the best season of all.

This home has three bedrooms. A Master bedroom on one side with French doors that open onto a small deck with an outdoor hot tub overlooking the mountains. A two-bedroom guest suite with a bathroom and its own entryway on the other side with its own French doors leading out onto the farmer’s porch to enjoy morning coffee and take in the gorgeous mountain views.
All three of these bedrooms have recently been wallpapered, and we are in the process of turning each bedroom into a “Cozy Vermont Inn” Style.
