Why they chose this property

We chose this spot because it captures some of the best parts of northern Vermont in one place — mountain views, river access, and easy proximity to Stowe and the Green Mountains. The area feels peaceful and tucked into nature, yet it’s just a short drive to great hiking, skiing, local breweries, and the small-town charm of Johnson village. What we love most is how the neighborhood balances quiet seclusion with adventure: you can spend the day exploring trails or the mountains and come back to relax by the river under the stars. It’s a perfect home base for experiencing Vermont year-round.
