The Rafters

My family has been staying here almost every year for 40+ years. My parents got married here, by the babbling brook in the late 70's. Every year we return for the psuedo-camping feel. The Rafters has always billed itself as a wilderness living training center. On the site of a former dairy farm you can see where the cows used to roam. Watch for deer, turkeys and even the occasional bear. Cook inside over the wood kitchen stove or outside over open flame. There's a loft for sleeping, bring your own games. Lots of woods for hiking or maybe biking. We go back late September, so don't take our weekend! Now under new ownership, but still the same great family we've always loved to work with. Getting some great updates thanks to the new owners, but it'll always be my favorite VT retreat. Now it

We've been coming here for 50(!) years! We got married here,46 yrs ago. A unique place full of memories ❤️

I have been going to this place for over 15 years. Ralph and Cathy Coleman couldn't have been better. For a few years the next generation have taken it over and they are just as accommodating and fabulous as their parents. Katie and hubby have spruced it up big time and it's getting luxurious from the outdoor outhouse to an indoor flushy toilet and granite sink. It's rustic at it's finest. I was part of a group going up and evolved to continuing getting the group there. Typically I go in the winter but have been in every season and they each have their own beauty. Bring what you need because you aren't going to want to leave. Have fun!

We love the Rafters, we go every year with friends for the weekend. It's a big barn converted . They make maple syrup on the property to sell. Fire place inside and outside. Wood furnace heat 2 showers 1 inside and 1 outside. It's big and roomy.

If you're ever looking to find a place where you feel secluded. In nature, with loved ones... (up to 20 people). This is the place for you.
