Secluded Paradise - Private 1st Floor Apt. - Country Setting

We've created a private, 1st floor getaway for you in our historic 1863 home in Southern Vermont. This is a wonderful retreat for those who love a peaceful riverfront setting with songbirds in the morning, wildflower fields and swimming below in our waterfall just 500 feet from your door.

Riverfront trails hug the contour of the Saxton's River that wraps around the property on three sides. These are kept open winter and summer to easily access the peace and tranquility of the river coursing past. There are many private pots to sit and enjoy nature at its best.

This is a beautifully restored 3-4 room farmhouse apartment with a separate entrance near the parking area. Southeast facing and filled with morning light overlooking the flower gardens and open fields.

Private bath with Jacuzzi tub & shower, a fully equipped eat-in kitchen with stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, blender, and washer. Bedroom has a brand new queen size hypo-allergenic pillow-top mattress.

It opens to a separate reading area with two easy chairs, good lighting for reading and, to set the mood, a 1920 Victrola with lots of records. This is the perfect country home to unwind, relax and refresh yourself.

You'll have your own private getaway with access to our 30 acres of gardens, fields and woodland trails. Our waterfall on the Saxtons River is only 500 feet from your suite and offers a great place to have your morning coffee on the riverfront deck or swim in the deep water pool below the falls. Take a walk on the 1/2 mile riverfront trail without ever leaving the property.

In snowy winters we maintain these trails for cross country skiing & snowshoeing. We've placed benches at many scenic and private spots at the river's edge for your enjoyment.

We work in an adjacent building on the property and are available to assist you with almost anything - from local events to great places to eat or shop. We have lived here for decades and can direct you to many places off the beaten path that don't make it into any local guide books. The home is open to a visiting friendly dog (we have 2 great ones here already) and is 420-friendly.

Our home is in a rural setting adjacent to a conservation area and one mile from the village of Bellows Falls. Located there are many restaurants, stores, antique centers, an Amtrak stop and more. A couple miles further, across the bridge, is another historic village - Walpole, NH - with more great restaurants, grocery stores and many interesting shops.

Our home is located in the Connecticut River Valley, just a few miles from an interstate exit and protected by surrounding hills.

Our home is in a country setting that is open to natural light, near a small village and easily accessible to Vermont & New Hampshire attractions. There are many great restaurants within 10 minutes from our home or just stay at home and have some culinary fun in the kitchen. A movie theater and a few music venues are less than two miles away. Brattleboro, VT & Keene, NH (with many more food , shopping and nightlife options) are only 25 minutes from this private country home.

We are just a few miles from the Interstate I-91 exit and less than 2 miles to the Amtrak stop with daily trains to/from Washington DC , NYC and Montreal. Boston is just over 2 hours away.
