The Fan House

The Fan House Review

If you are searching for an authentic home in the heart of a very small, quaint Vermont town, take the one-minute walk from the perfect general store in Barnard to this 1840 white Colonial. The three rooms put together by Sara Widness—who happens to be an expert on luxury travel—are cozy, comfortable, and avoid romantic clichés. The rooms are simply adorned with tapestries, antique rugs, claw-foot tubs, comfy sofas, and old bed frames guarding soft linens and a mountain of pillows. The living room hearth, the old wood stove in the kitchen, and the library nook create a real sense of home.
