Winter Lore — 26 Private Acres, Hot Tub & Pet-Friendly Near Killington Brought to you by GetAway
Welcome to Winter Lore, your private mountain escape nestled on 26 acres of Vermont forest in Mendon. Overlooking the peaceful Mendon Brook, this secluded retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and connection to nature. Wake up to the gentle sounds of the brook, enjoy the occasional visit from deer or foxes, and leave the hustle of everyday life behind. Best of all, Winter Lore is pet-friendly, so your four-legged family members can be part of the adventure.
Inside, you'll find a beautifully curated home designed for gathering and relaxing. The bright, open kitchen is fully equipped for preparing everything from hearty breakfasts before the slopes to family dinners after a day of exploring. Large picture windows fill the dining area with natural light, while the cozy wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect setting for memorable evenings together. Just beyond, the inviting living room features two plush sofas, a 55-inch smart TV, a writing desk, and a charming reading nook where you can curl up with a good book. In the summer there is one Air conditioner located in the Livingroom only.
The home's thoughtful layout includes three main-level bedrooms, each with a queen bed and its own smart TV, while the primary suite offers the added comfort of a private en-suite bath. Downstairs, the fourth bedroom features two twin beds and an attached full bath—ideal for kids or friends. The lower-level family room provides even more space to gather, complete with two sofas (one a sleeper), a 70-inch smart TV, a shuffleboard table, and a classic Pac-Man arcade game that's sure to bring out a little friendly competition.
Step outside and discover your own private Vermont oasis. The brand-new back deck invites you to slow down and soak in the peaceful surroundings, whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, relaxing in one of the cozy swing chairs, or unwinding with an evening drink while listening to the soothing sounds of Mendon Brook flowing below. During the warmer months, the outdoor summer shower is perfect for rinsing off after a hike or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars or slip into the private hot tub and let the stress of everyday life melt away.
One of the best things about staying at Winter Lore is its location. Tucked away in the quiet town of Mendon, you'll enjoy the peace and privacy of the mountains while being just minutes from the adventure. Spend the day skiing at Killington Resort or Pico Mountain, explore the scenic trails of Gifford Woods State Park, paddle or fish at Chittenden Reservoir, or take a scenic drive through Vermont's charming villages. Be sure to stop by the Sugar & Spice Restaurant and Maple Farm, a local favorite known for its hearty Vermont breakfasts, fresh maple syrup, and country store. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or simply a slower pace, Mendon offers the perfect balance of both.
Whether you're visiting for vibrant fall foliage, snowy winter weekends, spring adventures, or summer relaxation, Winter Lore is the perfect home base for making unforgettable Vermont memories.
Winter Lore isn't just a place to stay—it's a place to reconnect with family and friends, create lasting memories, and experience the beauty of Vermont in every season. We look forward to welcoming you to your next GetAway.
