Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the moment we saw it! It has been in our family for over 50 years and we intend to keep it that way.

What makes this property unique

Southern Vermont is great in all seasons. Summers are a delight -- with warm days and cool nights, it's the perfect destination for hiking, water sports, antiquing, vising farms, and eating stunning farm to table meals. Nobody does snow like Vermont in the winter -- beautiful fresh powder covers the slopes every day and nothing hits quite like some apres ski hot cocoa.
