Uncommonly Good: Stories of Food, Life and the Birth of Good Commons

GOOD COMMONS is located in the village of Plymouth Union, Vermont, at the crossroads between Killington and Okemo ski resorts and the beautiful lakes of the Okemo Valley.
The house is located right off of Route 100 in the heart of Plymouth, VT. This is halfway between Killington and Okemo — about 9 miles to each mountain or 6 miles to the Killington Skyeship gondola. Pico Mountain Resort is about 14 miles away.
A Unique Vermont Vacation Rental
Consider Good Commons for a unique Vermont vacation rental. Reenergize from a hectic week in the city with a steaming cup of tea and a peaceful night’s rest in a corner of the world where city lights don’t block out the stars and where the sounds of nature take the place of the din of traffic.
At the turn of the 20th century, Good Commons was a country store with a booming business selling groceries, household items and light fare to the village and many travelers making their way through the region. The Brown family took over the store in the 1930s, added an ice cream parlor and sandwich shop, and raised their six children in the home over the next several decades.
Purchased by the current owner in 2006, Good Commons is now a 4700 square foot home that has undergone a COMPLETE renovation, combining modern amenities with the country tradition of rest and revitalization that has characterized this house for over 150 years. It is the perfect getaway for city slickers who want to have comfort and elegance within their country retreat while enjoying everything a unique Vermont vacation rental has to offer. We are now a community solar powered facility, including our primary heat!
