Quiet, private with old fashioned charm.
A 3/4 acre pond that has been recently cleaned out and re-landscaped with its own rowboat and access is a special part of the Cole Cabin experience. Young children are especially attracted to the pond with its many water creatures (frogs, salamanders, fish).
A brook flows on the back of the property.
If you like to hike, you can drive to the other side of Stratton and access the Long Trail as well as a trail that leads to the Stratton fire tower.
The Stratton Resort is very close, but you are not a part of it, so you get the convenience of being close, but are away from the noise and congestion. It takes seven minutes to drive up to the ski area.
Pikes Falls is two miles down the road, which means you can take a leisurely walk to it or be there in minutes if you drive down to it.
Manchester is 20 minutes away, the Vermont Country Store is another 20 minute drive. Brattleboro is 45 minutes away.
