Owner description:
The Skinner Barn is a beautifully restored historic dairy barn built in 1891 by the Daniel Skinner family. Of classic post and beam construction, it offers a special environment for educational classes, cultural events, parties, and receptions. Flanked by the majestic Northfield Ridge to its east and the mountains that host the Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas to its west, The Skinner Barn offers a quintessential Vermont setting.The upper floor of The Skinner Barn has been restored with loving attention keeping the historical character of the structure intact. This open space, originally designed for hay storage, is now used as an assembly space for a wide range of functions from weddings & rehearsal dinners to theater camps, theater productions, dances and cabaret performances.

The view of the Green Mountains and the great relationship they...

We visited this location for a wedding and reception. What a beautiful location! The ceremony was held in the field behind the barn, with the Green Mountains as a back drop. The barn itself has been beautifully restored and the grounds are well kept. The staff working the event were excellent!
