Property details

Nestled in a serene valley of the Green Mountain National Forest and boasting 5 acres of maple tree-laden land, this Victorian home is the place for an unparalleled retreat. The 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath vacation rental was built in 1856 and boasts a perfect blend of old-fashioned charm and modern luxury. Spend your days relaxing at the river on-site, taking a dip in the pool, or roasting s'mores at the fire pit. During winter, curl up with a book in the library and gaze out over a snowy hillside.

November 2024

This is a wonderful place to spend a holiday. We were there for Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Snow fell on Thanksgiving day giving us a cozy feel and beautiful walks along a path across the field in front of the house. Be prepared for an older house. This is not for everyone but we prefer it. The working fireplace was a real plus. The Art - everywhere you look there is something interesting and thought provoking. The house has everything you need for a big group (we were a group of 10). The kitchen is not modern but has everything you need. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. We will rent again for sure.

Huge funky house that was comfortable for our group of 14. Things we loved: -Plenty of space for sleeping -Huge outdoor picnic table for family dinners -Beautiful spacious yard full of games and activities -Owner was very helpful and easy to contact Things to know: -The grounds keepers are there so it is not a completely private stay, but they are friendly and kind- even gave us beets out of the garden -There was a cat that was difficult to get to leave us alone at times. It’s friendly but if you don’t like cats or bring a dog it can be difficult Overall- we can’t wait to go back! 14 people- 4 different families and everyone wants to go back.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property, it is far more gorgeous than shown in pictures. It was a large group and we were all very comfortable. The home was clean and the caretakers Rosa and Mario were delightful! We will definitely be coming back!
