Welcome to Belmont Treetops - your perfect getaway in the lush beauty of the Green Mountains.
PLEASE NOTE: Because we don't like paying cleaning fees when we travel, we never charge for cleaning. Cleaning is included in the price.
SPRING, SUMMER, FALL: We are located in the heart of the Green Mountains on nine acres of wooded land and open fields. Views of the mountains are outside your window. Easy access to beautiful dirt lanes for biking and hiking. Swimming, kayaking, fishing, golf, tennis are less than 15 minutes away. 3 day minimum from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
For those seeking cultural activities, the acclaimed Weston Playhouse (Christopher Lloyd, of Back to the Future fame, is in Our Town this summer) is only ten minutes away. The 2018 summer season also includes West Side Story, Million Dollar Quartet, Fun Home, Doll's House Part 2, Two Trains Running, and Anne of Green Gables. You can also find a concert almost every day of the week duri
WINTER: Easy access and travel time to Okemo in Ludlow. Okemo - Jackson Gore and main entrance, is 11 to 13 minutes away; Bromley, 25 minutes, Stratton 40 minutes, Killington 40 minutes. You can also enjoy skating on beautiful Star Lake less than two miles away. More than 25 acres of snowshoe and cross-country trails or sledding, outside your front door!
******In winter, we strongly recommend four wheel or all wheel drive ONLY. If there is snow, it is challenging to get up our driveway without awd or 4wd. But it is a breeze to get up our driveway with an awd or 4wd car. ********
Although we are located in Belmont (Mount Holly), a classic quaint Vermont village, we are only minutes away from all the activities that make Vermont wonderful. In the summer and fall there is kayaking, hiking, biking, summer concerts, great theater, and restaurants. Of course, in the winter there is skiing, skating, and snowshoeing.
This new large studio loft is only eight years old and is ideal for a ski vacation, summer holiday, romantic getaway, writer's retreat, or fall foliage tour. The loft has open space, high ceilings, glass, and is furnished with antiques and cozy furniture. The best part - you feel like you are living in a treehouse as you look out over the treetops to the mountains. We're family friendly but we've also been told that Belmont Treetops is a wonderfully romantic place to stay. Writers and those seeking quiet away from their busy lives have found this to be a place they love coming back to year after year.
The partitioned sleeping area has a queen bed and is surrounded by partial walls and etched glass for privacy. A pullout couch has a full bed. There is a fully-equipped kitchen including dishwasher and microwave and stocked with all the pots, pans, and cooking utensils you will need. Full bath with Restoration Hardware plush towels. All sheets are provided too. There is also Wifi and a bluetooth speaker in the studio. And our guests always enjoy the homemade treats and cheese and crackers we leave for them upon their arrival!
You are an easy 1.5 mile scenic walk on a tree-lined country dirt road to the charming Belmont Village, store, and Star Lake. You can start your day with a walk to the store and pick up your morning coffee and newspaper (in the winter it can be a winter wonderland with snow covered trees forming a canopy over the road). There is also an old-fashioned library, with a wide selection of books, and a local museum in town.
If you don't want to eat at home using the fully equipped kitchen, there are restaurants as close as ten minutes away. Also nearby is the famous Vermont Country Store in Weston where you will discover hard-to-find items and an impossible to resist selection of candies, cheeses, jams, and other delicious food items.
SPECIAL AMENITIES: In addition to all your linens, we also provide many of your essentials including paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, soap, shampoo and conditioner, hair dryer, foil, plastic wrap, garbage bags, sugar, flour, etc. We also have a wide selection of books, magazines, and games for those afternoons or evenings when you want some down time. If you have a computer with a DVD drive or a DVD player, there is a small selection of DVDs in the loft.
