About this space
Wake up to brisk mountain air with a cup of coffee and moose in the front yard... This house is a sanctuary, ideal for ski trips, hiking, leaf peeping, wine, beer, and cheese tasting, shopping and sugar house adventures.
This is a place to unwind with friends and family. Sit in front of the cavernous fire place and watch the flames twist up the 18ft, handmade, stone hearth.
With three private bedrooms, two bathrooms, a futon, and 10ft dining table, this house comfortably sleeps and feeds 8.
The space
WINTER: In 5 minutes, you can be on Magic Mountain: North America's 2018 Winner of the Overall Best in Snow Awards, by Liftopia. If Magic doesn't suit you, there are 5 other ski resorts within 30 minutes. Additionally, there is snowmobiling and cross-country skiing within 10 minutes.
SPRING: If you are a "real" skier, then you already know- you can ski through April in VT. For the rest of us: Maple syrup production is in full swing! The blue lines you see in the woods are running full of cold sap. The sweet maple vapor fills the hills of VT. If you have never witnessed the creation of this elixir, spring is the time for it!!
SUMMER: There are amazing lakeside or mountain climb hikes within 5 minutes of the house. Major ski resorts like Mt.Snow, and Killington open up their trails to downhill mountain bikers. This is awesome if you have never tried it- you can be there in 45 mins. White water (intense)/ inner tube (relaxed) rafting down any of the major rivers is a must. Finally, summer is a cool time to mingle with locals at farmers markets and fairs. The closest farmers market is 7 minutes away in Londonderry- Quintessential VT.
FALL: Perhaps the most magnificent of them all. You are still getting short sleeve afternoons but the frosted-grass bows to winter in the morning. Foliage is peaking and the leaves are alight with orange, yellow and red. I'm not going to list activities, because even changing a tire is pleasurable during a VT fall.
ALL: The town of Manchester is 30 minutes away and has everything you could possibly want: spas, outlet shopping, white table cloth restaurants, wine, beer and cheese tasting, world class golf courses, cute coffee shops, country stores, art galleries all within 30 minutes. Awesome place, super rustic and refined.
Guest access
On the estate there are two properties: this log cabin and a small timber frame loft. While the properties are separated by an acre of forest, they share the same entrance and parking. We ask that all of our guests show mutual respect to one another. Don’t block people in; and respect the privacy of the other guests.
We ask that you refrain from having fires in the small kitchen fireplace, as it is non-functional.

We ask that all of our guests show mutual respect to one another. You will have very little if any interaction with other guests, so make it count! Don’t block people in; and respect the privacy of the other guests… thats pretty much it.
