A great place to enjoy lovely mountain views from the dining area and sunroom. On a clear day you can use the telescope to see the moon's terrain. The cool weather was glorious for sleeping without air conditioner although ACs were in every room if needed. We enjoyed playing fussball, throwing darts, and playing volleyball (brought our own) on the extensive lawn. Cleared paths around the property made morning walks so peaceful and relaxing. The home is 6 minutes from Blueberry Lake, 10 minutes from Warren Falls, 50 minutes to Burlington (so many stores to get lost in, restaurants and Lake Champlain), 15 minutes to Waitsfield (beautiful town, covered bridge and shallow creek for kids to explore), 33 minutes to Waterbury (Ben & Jerry Factory - Fun!, Cabot Cheese Store and Cold Cider Mill - Great Cider Donuts, free cider tasting in the back and so many cute products for purchase), 30 minutes to Montpelier (Capital of Vermont - Free State House Tour Mon- Fri - Breathtaking, great town to explore and Climb Tower for free in Hubbard Park for a scenic view of the Green Mountains) and 47 minutes to East Montpelier (Bragg Farm - Maple Tour and Tasting, Play Area for kids and tasty Maple Creemees). The higher elevation is perfect for a cooler morning. You may want to pack a sweater for a stay in mid July.
