Location: Smugglers Notch, Vermont, USA (Underhill, VT)
Accommodations: Renovated Farmhouse, 5 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths (Sleeps 9-12)
Our renovated 180 year-old farmhouse is nestled in a small valley that lies under majestic Mt. Mansfield. Surrounded by farmland and knock-your-socks-off mountain views, our home is a place of peace and serenity that overlooks acres of pastures, streams, and woodlands.
Unlike other old farmhouses that have small rooms and confined spaces, our home has an open floor plan with 8 ft. ceilings, creating an atmosphere that is light and airy. Decorated in warm greens and earthy colors, each room has its own charm and character.
Three bedrooms have either queen-size or full beds, and the other two bedrooms have single beds. The master bedroom has a private full bath, while the other bedrooms share a bathroom. Large floor areas can accommodate air mattresses and sleeping bags. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for the most accomplished cook to prepare gourmet feasts.
Underhill and the surrounding region have an amazing array of opportunities for everyone’s taste. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast and like your days to be filled with adventure and adrenaline, there’s a whole network of trails right outside our back door for cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing (you can rent snowshoes for the day or week at our local general store). Our town boasts of one of the best sledding hills around and that’s just a five minute drive away. But if you’re the type that just likes to take walks down a beautiful country road, you’ll be overwhelmed by the beauty and majestic mountain views.
At Smuggler’s Notch Ski Resort (only 8 miles away), there are groomed cross-country ski trails and a skating arena as well as excellent downhill skiing and snow-boarding. If you’d like to try other ski areas, Stowe is just 45 minutes away (or you can ski to it from Smuggs) and Jay Peak is the same distance. If you are very adventurous, try ice climbing up in the Notch!
For those looking for more cultural activities, there is no lack of beautiful vistas for the photographer and artist. There are multitudes of antique shops, art galleries, farmer markets, restaurants, theatres, and shops all within a 40 minutes radius that includes the resort town of Stowe and Vermont’s largest city, Burlington.
After your day’s activities, come back home to relax and thaw out in front of the open-fire woodstove. Or, put on some soft music and stretch your tired muscles in our yoga studio, a renovated family room that now provides a wonderful space with polished wide pine floors for yoga and meditation practice (for more information about the studio, click on the link at the bottom of this page that says Dakini Studio).
Our home is the perfect place for your Vermont vacation. It is also the perfect setting for celebrations like weddings and graduations. Invite your family, friends and relatives to stay here with you. There are plenty of businesses in the area that would be happy to help you with catering and other services you might need. Contact us with any questions or concerns you have. We’ll be glad to help!
