About this property

Spacious Log Cabin Perfect for Families and Pets

WELCOME!

Located in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom in between the towns of Craftsbury, Saint Johnsbury, and Newport (and just 25 miles from the Canadian border!), our home is settled in the quaint and quiet town of Glover – named after American Revolutionary war hero Brigadier General John Glover and now home to the famed Bread and Puppet Theatre of New England.

We’re offering a comfortable, pet and kid-friendly, A-frame log cabin surrounded by 30 acres of pristine Appalachian woodland to explore and hike. We also have a 6 acre front yard complete with a 1 acre pond you are welcome to fish and relax by. After a long day enjoying all the rustic beauty and small town charm that Vermont has to offer, you can warm yourself by our pellet stove which heats both floors of our over 1,600 sq ft 4 bedroom, 2 full baths home. 8 guests maximum, including infants/children.

~ AMENITIES ~

We have a ramp leading up to the house for easy access. We also have a crib, a high chair, and child gates for the second floor staircase if necessary. Small and large dogs are permitted (No cats or other animals allowed- sorry). Wifi and HD TV with access to Hulu and Netflix are provided. In the mudroom/laundry room, you'll find a washer and dryer as well as heated floors, chairs, coat hooks, and boot racks to unload your winter gear on. During your stay, you will have access to a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, but you can also try out the various restaurants located in the area.

~ LOCAL EATS ~

Enjoy homemade meals at the Busy Bee or peruse Currier Market for fresh local produce and meats as well as admire an extensive menagerie of game mounts. In nearby Barton, Parsons Corner offers up affordable and classic American fare for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, you can head to The Parker Pie Company, a gourmet pizza parlor which features locally-crafted beers, live music, and a distinctly ‘Vermontish’ dining experience.

~ SEASONAL SUGGESTIONS ~

Vermont has many exciting locales and attractions available anytime of the year, but if you're not sure where to start, here are some of our personal recommendations!

FALL ~ Admire Vermont’s beautiful autumn colors, go apple picking, and hunt for the perfect pumpkin. To get some of the best views of Vermont's foliage, ride the Aerial Tram at the Jay Peak Ski Resort which is open year-round. Our personal favorite - sample the hot apple cider and cider donuts at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury!

WINTER ~ Snowshoe, snowmobile, and alpine or cross-country ski around the beautiful winter landscape. Our home is located about one mile from the VAST snowmobiling trail for easy access. The nearest ski resorts are Jay Peak and Burke Mountain. Don't forget to try our world-renowned maple syrup during local Sugar-on-Snow get-togethers.

SPRING ~ Fly-fish Vermont’s rivers, go golfing, or hike the Green Mountain range. Fish for bass, trout, and sturgeon in Lake Memphremagog. We don't have so much a "spring" season as a mud season, so if you’re feeling adventurous, take an ATV and mudbog!

SUMMER ~ Swim, boat, and fish at Crystal Lake and Lake Willoughby. There are several blueberry and raspberry picking areas nearby as well. In Barton you can attend the Orleans County Fair which runs through mid-August. You can also beat the heat at Jay Peak Ski Resort's fully enclosed water park in Jay or visit the world famous Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in Waterbury.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

Beautiful location

Stunning property -we saw Great Blue Herons, Turkeys and lots of ducks and geese on the pond. Great access to Route 91 and the village. Beds comfortable, kitchen well outfitted (although we did not do much cooking), the owner was terrific with communication.

An Honest Review

I always give an honest review for guests and owners to consider. Location - 10 Outside amenities 7 a) Grandchildren were disappointed that the 'treehouse' wasn't accessible b) Chairs on island are broken c) Walkway to island starting to rot & leans d) Although the screened in porch is nice, we couldn't find a way to turn on lights (except the ones activated by motion sensor). A couple of the chairs around the table had worn seats & we didn't want to sit, fearing they might tear. Not sure if the outdoor toys, etc, were meant for guests. If they are, they are pretty much in disarray. Interior - 5 a) Not giving a negative on the size, as we were aware of the square footage, but it is very tight for 8 people, in the living areas. b) Utensils were very limited. I.E. only a large, slotted spoon; none to use to ladle out sauce (had to use a cup), tongs broken. c) Cutting knives dull, making it difficult to cut meat. d) Usually, the rentals we stay have a supply of cleaners, so we can clean counter tops, etc. Had to use water and paper towels. e) The baseboard in the kitchen had a piece of bent metal, that by granddaughter cut her leg upon. I covered w/ duct tape f) The size of the kitchen table makes it difficult to navigate around. g) The living room is very dark, & the furniture definitely needs to be updated. h) Dumpster was full when arrived. Had to keep trash in laundry until after Tue. pick up. i) Window ACs, 1 BD without Overall - 6 out of 10

Nice, no-frills place for a bigger group.

Rented this place for a couple nights for a group writing retreat; we all had good space for getting our work done. The place might be a little rough around the edges depending on what you’re looking for (could use some more screens in windows and doors, much of the lighting is too bright and harsh at night, at least one of the AC units made an entire room smell a little moldy—all things you could expect in an older vacation rental like this, though always the kinds of details that I hope an owner might have considered more…) Overall though, it was a solid place and the owner was responsive and very gracious with some special requests.

Perfect Vacation

The cabin was exactly as expected. Stayed for two weeks and it couldn't have been a better experience. We only had up to 4 people - but it accommodated 8 and the owners were very receptive and even contacted us during our stay to find out if we needed anything. If we ever take a trip to Vermont again.. we know where we would like to stay. Thank you again for your great hospitality.

Fun family gathering!

We rented Tom’s property for a summer getaway with our five grandchildren. Though the weather wasn’t the best they had a wonderful cousin week together. They really enjoyed the pond and kayaks and when it was rainy there was no shortage of games and kids videos as well as ample room for hide and seek. We cooked in and had great takeout from Parker Pie and Busy Bee Diner. Currier Market is a gem and supplied anything we had forgotten or might need.

House and host are great. Only minor issues were a large box with leftover birthday cake left in the fridge that we had to deal with and an overflowing dumpster that made me worry about bears. But everything else was very good.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Eberhardt

Host profile image
I'm a Connecticut-Yankee and Florida transplant who moved up to Vermont while working for the US Government. While in Vermont, I oversaw the management of all the US Border Stations in the state. I recently retired and am looking forward to spending the extra time with my wife, daughter, and two dogs.

Why they chose this property

This property spoke to me and my wife at the time because we had a young daughter, and we wanted her to grow up in an environment where she could learn to appreciate the beauty of nature and be free to roam and play. While it was a big departure from the rat-race of Florida, it was the best decision we ever made for ourselves and our daughter's future.

What makes this property unique

The unaltered and ruggedly beautiful landscape is what made my wife and I fall in love with this property. My daughter was amazed to see the changing of the seasons happening right outside our front door for the first time in her young life. Plus, we were all blown away by the wildlife - moose, bear, deer, foxes, turkeys, and all the critters in between are beloved and frequent visitors to our property!
