This unique house has historic significance as the towns first General Store (early 20th century) and has since been converted to a spacious living domicile.

Our home provides a beautiful venue in this quaint town of East Dorset surrounded by spectacular views of the Taconic and Green Mountain ranges.

The location is near the intersection of VT RT 7 and Historic 7A which allows for alternative travel options in inclement weather and beautiful scenic rides on those spectacular sunny days.

The space
This old house has been recently renovated and is directly across the street from the renound Wilson House. In our home you will find informative pictures (photos taken in the late 1800’s) and documents (i.e. original blue prints) that enlighten guests to the building’s notable past.

Adding to the charm and authenticity/history of the General Store ‐ which at one time had its own train stop ‐ there will be the occasional train (Vermont Rail) coming through town a few times day.

Guest access
We (Sandy, John) will greet you upon arrival; provide you with a walk through of the space, discuss the area and local events, furnish you with a key, local maps and applicable literature for your stay.
