A classic Vermont Bed and Breakfast, Nye's Green Valley Farm has welcomed travelers and visitors for nearly two centuries. It was built and used as a stagecoach tavern in the early 1800's. My great-grandfather purchased the land and the house in 1867. My grandfather and his siblings were raised in this house, as were my father and his siblings. While it was not my residence, it has always been my 'home'. My most wonderful childhood memories were made 'on the farm It was a working farm, guest house and home to the Nye family until 1975 when it was sold. It was sold several times between 1975 and 1998. We were able to purchase the house on December 21, 1998 - happy day!!!
The house was not well cared for prior to our purchase. There were numerous windows and doors broken. A leaky roof caused extensive ceiling damage and garbage was piled high in several areas. We wanted to take care of a house that had taken care of us for so many years“but mostly, we wanted to give this house its dignity back. After thousands of hours of work we were able to welcome our first guests in the fall of 2000. It was a proud and happy day!
