Location: Belmont, Okemo, Vermont, USA (minutes to Okemo)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
A cozy Vermont mountain cottage one mile to picturesque Belmont Village and Star Lake, and 6 miles to Okemo Ski Resort and Ludlow. A private location with a deck overlooking Star Lake, meadows and mountain vistas (with a 75 mile view!). 2 bedrooms [Queen; Double; and Queen Sleep Sofa -- sleeps 4-6], 2 baths, living room with woodstove, satellite TV, DVD, CD player, High Speed Internet with WiFi; dining area; fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher, microwave; laundry with washer/dryer. A beautiful mountain get-away, yet close to skiing and other activities.
We are in the heart of the Green Mountains between Killington and Stratton/Bromley. We have beautiful (spectacular!!) views off to the west and northwest (great sunsets). Our cottage sits on a hill surrounded by stately maples and open pastures. It sits at 2100 feet above sea level and overlooks a lake with a 75 mile view across the mountains of Vermont and into New York State (we see the highest mountain in NY). We are one mile from Star Lake which has a beach and boat access. The cottage is surrounded by 180 acres of our land, and hundreds more acres of friends, family and the State of Vermont. We have our own trail network for hiking, snowshoeing and xc skiing, and there's lots of other hiking all around the town and local area. On our land across the road from the cottage there are four beaver ponds that string along a brook that runs into Star Lake.
Although private, our cottage is in the heart of the Vermont ski and tourist area so there are lots of restaurants, shops, and activities within 5 to 10 miles
Winter:
Okemo 6 miles; Killington 30 minutes; cross-country ski and sled from house; village skating; 1/2 mile to VAST snowmobile trail system.
Summer & Fall: Peaceful hide-away; nearby mountain lakes - swim, fish, boat rentals. Central to sightseeing, golf, tennis, horseback riding, hiking, biking; near historic Weston Playhouse and Weston Priory. Surrounded by Vermont forests and autumn foliage.
No Smoking.

[email after returning home] Dear Ron and Dottie, Well, we're finally making the difficult transition 'back to the land called work' after our awesome visit to your 'bit of heaven on earth'. Indeed our stay at your heavenly haven refreshed both our spirits and bodies, and put Vermont on the "must see again & again" list of places to visit. What a perfect way for us to have celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Hey, we may not have spotted your neighborhood moose, but he was tracking us!! What excitement we got from spotting his fresh tracks on our way back from clumping down to see one of the beaver dams on your property!! :) What can I say, our stay in your 'little' cottage changed our lives.... Hey, I'm getting ready to put kindling in our 'never used before' fireplace, just to bring back some Belmont ambience to our San Diego nest!! (That fire-stoking bit is an AMAZING new activity for this San Diego native to start doing, trust me on this one!! :) I hope this note finds you and Dottie well....... Drop us a line now and again to keep us posted on your lives, ok? Now that we've touched each other, you're in our hearts forever; you can't get out of it! :) Hugs, Pat …and Denny, San Diego, CA

Ron and Dottie- Thank you for a wonderful week in Vermont. It is so beautiful, especially with your fall leaves. May we ask a favor -- could you email the photos of the moose that visited us during our stay -- we want to add them to a CD we are doing of our vacation.

Dear Ron and Dottie- Thank you for the use of your lovely cottage. All the charming touches, from fresh flowers to the welcoming gifts, made us feel so welcomed. The country-side is lovely and we so enjoyed sitting on the deck to view its beauty. I hope we’ll come back again. This is truly a gem. Many blessings, Judy and family.
