Large modern house with huge open great room and four large bedrooms with baths

ABOUT THIS SPACE

Blueberry Lodge was designed by renowned architect Piet Van Dijk with an open, modern plan that is conducive to entertaining and social gathering. The space can comfortably accommodate the needs of different family arrangements with its four bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. The great room on the second floor has multiple living spaces, an open kitchen, and arched ceiling with wood beams and windows for lots of natural light.

Blueberry Lodge has been our family vacation home for 25 years, and provides a fun and engaging setting for multi-generational, relational gathering. Kids love it! We have been delighted to have many repeat visitors and hear how much groups enjoyed the unique layout and beautiful location.

LODGE DETAILS

The Lodge is 4200 square feet, with four large bedrooms with en suite full baths on the ground floor. Central in-floor heating regulates the ground floor during colder months. A large slate tile patio is on the ground floor with a view of the woods.

The master suite contains a king sized bed, dressers, large closets, and a large bathroom with a double shower and vanity. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a full bath with a large shower. The third bedroom has a queen sized bed, a full sized fold out futon and a full bath with shower and tub. The fourth bedroom two twin beds, a queen sized murphy bed and a full bath with shower. The twin beds in two of the bedrooms can be set up as one king-sized bed upon request.

The 2100 ft2 open great room is on the second floor, with distinct spaces for various activities that integrate well. There is a large open kitchen, a dining area that seats 10, lounging area in front of one of the wood stoves, a formal living area, a full bar, a gaming table, a billiards table that doubles as a ping pong table, and a media area with a 55" Smart TV.

There are two large wood burning stoves upstairs and we supply firewood. These stoves are the primary heating source for the second floor and create a cozy ambience. The second floor also has a large exterior deck with a gas grill and cafe table and outdoor seating.

Guests have access to the full house and grounds, with the exception of the basement. There is closet storage and a laundry room on the ground floor.

Owners' presence on site is limited. One family member lives in town and we are responsive throughout the stay for any questions.

LOCATION AND TRAVEL

Ames Hill is a beautiful rural main road with spectacular views. Blueberry Lodge is at the apex of the hill, 8 miles from Brattleboro and 20 miles from Mount Snow. We are near the Marlboro old Muster ground and located along the main road through town. Road walking is safe with some lovely views. In the summer, Marlboro hosts the Marlboro Music Festival, and the Lodge is well-situated for southern Vermont skiing in the winter. The Lodge is quickly accessible to Interstate 91 and Brattleboro in all seasons and convenient for visitors from the south. It’s a great base camp for biking and touring southern Vermont and the tristate corner of MA, NH, and VT.

You will need a car. All-wheel drive is recommended. Marlboro is a country town. Please note that access to the Lodge requires driving at least 2 miles on unpaved, well-maintained roads. Blueberry Lodge is equipped with an electric car charger.

MUD SEASON

Late March and April are slow travel seasons for northern New England. We are available for bookings at lower rates, but cannot understate that the quality of the unpaved roads in a hilly area will be compromised in early spring. You will need 4 wheel drive and experience driving in such conditions to access Blueberry Lodge. You will be asked to confirm that you have both before we confirm your stay during spring mud season.

ACCESSIBILITY

This is a two-story home with one step up onto a slate tiled patio to enter. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the ground floor. Access to the second floor is by staircase.
