The cabin is walking distance to Mount Snow, either through the woods or along the Handle Road, but far enough away to be separate from the noise and activity of the resort and road. Carinthia lodge, Two Tannery restaurant, Snow Mountain supermarket, Dover Bar and Grill, the Snow Barn, and ski lifts are all less than 3/4 mile from the house. It is close to hiking and biking trails, historic homes, and the Hermitage Club.
The Green Mountain National Forest is accessible from the back forest or from a public trail located a short distance south on Handle road. Across the street, the North Branch of the Deerfield River runs through the Tannery Wildlife Refuge, a conserved forested area.
