Artsy, Pet-Friendly Studio with a Forest in the backyard | Apartment in Brattleboro

Welcome to the Culbertson House! Unique and a little quirky, beloved by the resident-owners and dozens of guests alike, this 100-year-old house occupies a rare space in the town of Brattleboro, a spot that is quiet and peaceful and on the edge of the forest, yet close to all major thoroughfares. We are 1.5 miles from downtown Brattleboro, with its offerings of fine dining, unique shopping, diverse cultural entertainment and funky nightlife. The major ski areas of Mt. Snow and Stratton are within a 40 minute drive.
In the 1950's the house belonged to the legendary Ely Culbertson- the "Father of American Contract Bridge" and author of many books on bridge as well treatises on world peace and utopian world government. He was a character!
The house is currently divided into three apartments. Your hosts live in the center apartment and there's another cute 1-bedroom at the front.
The beautiful wood-paneled walls of the Studio, the warm hardwood floors, views of the gardens, full bath, modern kitchen and tasteful tasteful decor make this space comforting, welcoming and happy. We have attempted to reflect the intense artistic character of our community by decorating the studio with lots of artwork, most of it created by your host, Julia, as well as other object d'art to give the space as artsy a feel as our community itself.
The location is ideal; the forest behind and beside the house gives a feeling of being in a quiet, secluded home in the woods, yet the apartment is only a half-mile from Interstate 91 and a few hundred yards from Rt.9, the main east-west state highway leading to western Vermont and New Hampshire.
We are proud of our flower gardens which surround the house, including herbs and vegetables growing right outside your door; feel free to pluck some parsley or pick a tomato or two for your dinner! There's also a relaxing place to sit outside for dining al fresco or enjoying a beverage, and we provide a Weber charcoal grill so you can grill a steak or throw some shrimps on the barbie.
We're in Vermont, of course, so winters at the Culbertson House Studio are terrific. We're right in the middle between the uber-resorts if Mt. Snow and Stratton, about a 40-minute drive to both. Additionally, we have the best ski deal in New England right here at the Brattleboro Ski Area at Memorial Park. Ski from 7-10pm, under the lights, for $5. It's one T-bar and one little slope, but highly recommended. It's where one of your owners basically learned how to ski as a kid.
The bustling, artsy town of Brattleboro is only 1.5 miles down the road. Just steps away, literally a five-minute walk, is the renowned Brattleboro Farmers' Market, operating on Saturdays from May to October, with fresh local produce, wonderful food trucks and a rich selection of local arts and crafts. Five more minutes of walking will bring you to Living Memorial Park, with a summer swimming pool, skateboard park, a Frisbee golf course and other features, and nightly softball games under the lights.
Nearby are incredible hiking trails (there are some great trails right behind the house), swimming holes, canoe rentals, a terrific 18-hole golf course, and
Brattleboro's bustling downtown, where you'll find unique shopping and fine dining (we've got lots of recommendations, from the tender ribs at the Top of the HIll grill to the exquisite gourmet fare of Peter Havens.)
Just to add, the trails on the big hill behind the house are extensive and beautiful, and cross-country skiers can follow them through the woods in winter, too.
We renovated the Studio with vacation rentals in mind; unlike many vacation rentals it is dedicated solely to our guests and you're free to make the space your own. There's private parking and a welcoming, homey feel to the space that we're sure you'll enjoy.
We do provide all the modern conveniences, including a dishwasher and large microwave, high-speed wifi internet, and a new Roku TV equipped with a Roku stick with open accounts for Netflix and Amazon Video
We look forward to meeting you and hope you enjoy your stay here at the Culbertson House!
