“A place of stillness and shelter.”
Located near the highest point on the 571-acre Scott Farm, Dutton Farmhouse offers spectacular views of the heirloom apple orchard and ready access to outdoor activities. In 1849, Asa Dutton chose this site, with its expansive views across the Connecticut River Valley to the mountains of New Hampshire beyond, to build his farmhouse. This spacious house is perfect for retreats and family gatherings in any season. While the setting is decidedly tranquil, the bustling shops, restaurants, brew pubs, and arts venues of Brattleboro, Vermont, winner of the 2023 Strong Towns Strongest Town contest, are just 10 minutes away.
All of our properties include WiFi. ChargePoint EV charging stations are available right around the corner at scenic Scott Farm.
Add a Local Treat Basket for family retreats or working vacations at Dutton Farmhouse! Real maple syrup, local apple pie, and more.

During a stay at Dutton Farmhouse, guests are invited to explore the rest of Scott Farm, a socially responsible business (Certified B Corporation) that is also a property of The Landmark Trust USA. During the fall, visitors can sample 130 varieties of ecologically grown heirloom apples, from Blue Pearmain (one of Thoreau’s favorites) to Esopus Spitzenburg (beloved by Thomas Jefferson). Pick your own apples or visit the Market to pick up a pie, a jar of freshly pressed cider, or Scott Farm’s apples, pears, plums, grapes, and quince. Located on the farm are stunning stone walls constructed by the expert builders at The Stone Trust, a nonprofit organization whose offices are at Scott Farm and whose mission is to preserve and advance the art and craft of dry stone walling. Scott Farm also has two public Chargepoint EV charging stations right at the farm so you can charge your vehicle at the most scenic charging station in Vermont.

Testimonials from Dutton Farmhouse Guests
“What a wonderful place to celebrate having three generations together during the week of our grandson’s first birthday!!!”
“We decided to come up to Vermont for a long weekend to do some skiing and snowboarding. The Dutton Farmhouse was a magical place. Woke up every morning to the sunrise over the apple orchard. The house was conveniently located 40 minutes each way between Mount Snow and Stratton, so we were able to ride at both mountains and enjoy the scenic drive on the way.”
“We've had a wonderful sojourn in the exquisite Dutton Farmhouse. We've sampled other Landmark Trust USA properties and agree that this is a stunner; magnificent house, beautifully restored, in an amazing setting with spectacular views!”
“I can only imagine the beauty of this setting when it’s sugaring time, apple blossom time, apple picking time, etc.”
“The house was stunning and beyond any of my expectations. My friends & I had a great time being snowed in by the fireplace. The area was gorgeous and was perfect for a weekend New England get away. I would definitely book this place again.”
“Thank you so much for all you do to preserve and protect this wonderful old home. We loved staying here.”
