Becca Schulman Havemeyer and Taryn Bone, two members of the woman-led team that designed and built MileAway from the ground up.

Restoring an iconic Vermont property

Built in 1859, first as part of a working farm, then transitioning to a lodging house, MileAway has been welcoming guests for decades.  With our 2023 remodel, we plan to make sure the tradition continues for many years to come. 

We’re proud to have updated the property in a climate-forward, energy efficient way to ensure that we honor the beautiful natural environment of this home and this community.  MileAway is fully powered by electricity, with features such as smart heating and cooling, induction cooking, and LED lighting throughout.  We also focused on bringing the history of the home into every space, with reclaimed original materials and fixtures, locally salvaged elements, and special preserved pieces we’ve creatively reimagined.  

Because we love our natural surroundings, we sought to create year-round outdoor living, with multiple new backyard spaces to enjoy no matter what the weather or temperature. 

We’re especially grateful to our fabulous partners in this project: Bone Collective Studio, Barbara Sheehan Design, Brent Allaire Construction, Local Electric and Perfect Temp Heating and Plumbing for their expertise and workmanship. 

MileAway was designed, built and is managed by the team at Beach Plum Properties, a real estate development company committed to creating spaces that evoke a feeling of joy, comfort, and belonging.

The firm specializes in historic restoration on residential properties, preserving the character and charm of vintage homes while incorporating modern conveniences. The company is dedicated to building in a climate-forward and eco-friendly manner, ensuring that all aspects of their projects are sustainable and environmentally conscious.

Beach Plum Properties is dedicated to creating homes that are not only beautiful and functional, but also promote a sense of community and harmony with their environments.
