The Grist Mill on the beautiful Connecticut River in Springfield

The Grist Mill is a restored historic mill, circa 1850, located
on the 72 acre General Lewis R. Morris estate in Springfield,
Vermont. General Morris was an officer in the Continental Army
during the Revolutionary War and became Vermont's first Congressman
after the State was admitted to the Union in 1791. The main house
and barn are on the National Register of Historic Places. The estate
is now a fully operational Christmas tree plantation.

The farm is situated on the banks of the Connecticut River, just 5
minutes off Interstate 91. Our private dock is within a few hundred
feet of the Mill. We provide a canoe, a rowboat and several tubes
for fishing and frolicking on the river.

For those of you who might prefer not to swim with the fishes, we
have a large in ground pool which we usually open in late June.
Before then, in Vermont, only the beavers and bears do any swimming.

There is very little traffic on the river road and only slightly
more on nearby Route 5, so cycling is safe for young and old. We
have an assortment of elderly bicycles you can use if you choose not
to bring your own. Excellent hiking is available almost at your door.

The Mill has three bedrooms, three baths and about 1800 feet of
floor space.

The first floor features a living room with exposed beams, wood
floors, a fireplace, a stereo system, a DVD player, a VCR and
satellite TV. In addition, this floor has a full bath.
The kitchen provides ample workspace and all the utensils needed for
family meal pre-paration. In addition to a full size range the
kitchen is equipped with a toaster oven, microwave, a washer-dryer
and several other small appliances. The dining table comfortably
seats ten people. Double French doors lead to a small deck and a
private furnished patio with an outdoor grill..

A winding staircase leads to the second floor. The master bedroom
has a queen size bed and a full bath. A second double bedroom and
another full bath are also located on this floor. Both bedrooms have
views of the farm and river.

The third floor includes a walk through area with a double sleep
sofa and a full bedroom with twin beds.
