Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
Welcome to the Old Post House. Built in the 1830's, this charming brick farmhouse has been updated for your vacationing pleasure.
Located less than 15 minutes from Stowe Mountain skiing, the Waterbury Reservoir, Long Trail hiking and Mad River Valley kayaking, you will be hard-pressed to find a house more centrally located. Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream factory tour, the Cold Hollow Cider Mill, Ziemke's Glass Blowing Studio and Stowe Village are just a few attractions you can reach in just minutes.
The house has much of its original character with its wide-plank pine floor in the front kitchen and sitting room, a vintage clawfoot bathtub and hand-hewn ceiling timbers. There's even a spacious backyard with panoramic mountains views.
Getting to the house is easy, too. It's located directly on Route 100, the main road to Stowe, and only 35 minutes from the Burlington airport. And you'll have no problem getting in or out in the winter. The road is always kept clear for access to Stowe, no matter how much snow there is.
If you decide this is the place you'd like to stay, we have room for up to six people in our three bedroom, one bath lodgings. Bring a few of your closest friends or family. They'll thank you for it!
