"The condo was really great! We had a great time up there. My sister and
family came up for a couple of days. She has a 5 yr old and an older son
with Autism so the slope going by the condo was perfect. When the older
son was tired they just popped inside."
Surrounded by quintessential New England towns, enjoy the best of New England: leaf peeping at its best, antiquing, brewery tours and pubs (15 mins to Harpoon, 30 mins to Long Trail); winter wonderland of skiing, snowmobiling, winter hikes, old fashioned horse-drawn sleigh rides; spring beauty of wildflowers, rushing rivers, and maple sugaring; summer breezes with concerts on the common, lake swimming, and small town parades. This area hosts lots of organized races: running, biking, triathlon. Or, simply relax on the deck with a great read and mountain views. Plenty of parking on site.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1999
Our primary residence is Massachusetts. We are currently ex-pats living overseas. While we are enjoying the European experience, we remain true to our beloved New England.
Why the Owner Chose Brownsville
We always loved the beauty and tranquility of Vermont. A different experience from other New England states, VT is relaxing, yet invigorating. We purchased this condo for its location on the mountain and its full resort amenities..without the hassles of maintaining a house.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
We escape to Vermont to relax. Sometimes we never leave the resort--the great slopes right out our door are perfect for the whole family. We also work out on-site and catch up on reading. Other times, we head to Pico, Okemo, or Killington--all are just a short drive. We enjoy strolling through Woodstock, Weston, Hanover (NH), and other great towns. One of our favorite activities is the Montshire Museum--great for all ages and all seasons. We also like sampling the new brews down the road at Harpoon. Most of the time we go for a run or bike ride through Brownsville and enjoy the mountain views and the hilly workout! We also love the antiquing and the great conversations with the locals.
