This is the perfect Vermont vacation rental. Vermont's famous fresh air is invigorated by the 20 acres of inspiring, tranquil woodlands surrounding this spacious, comfortable, cheery country house. Picture windows and a wrap-around deck look over Hidden Valley's miles of hills, fields and streams into the next state.
The house has 3600 square feet of living space and offers several different gathering areas, including two separate living rooms, a large game table area, a dining area and a sociable kitchen and counter. Marvelous for retreats, reunions, family gatherings, writers, artists and other contemplative endeavors. Great for three couples, one per floor. Furnished down to the cookbooks. There are games galore, hundreds of well-chosen books and over 200 movies on video.
Artisan and stonemason Simon Shultz created magnificent two-story stone columns that support the outside deck and, at the heart of the chalet, a spectacular three-story stone core with two fireplaces. A charming spiral staircase connects all three floors.
Guided hiking, hunting and/or fishing tours with a Certified Hunter-Safety and 'Let's Go Fishing' Instructor can be arranged for an additional fee - for all levels from child to expert.
