About this property
Huge Vermont Home for the Holidays- Deal
EAST DORSET VILLAGE HOUSE
This property is situated near the headwaters of the well-known Battenkill trout stream in the village of East Dorset. Historically our house, the town's first general store, lies directly across from the renowned Wilson House.
In our home you will find historic photos and documents including its original blueprints as well as the actual store ledgers revealing the homes notable past.
An additional 'feature' of this property harkens back to its days as a train stop as well as a store. The Vermont Railway maintains its right of way running near the back of the building, occasionally offering guests the up-close experience of passing rail traffic, (particularly exciting for young children!)
The house, consists of two levels of living space, recently renovated, offering five spacious bedrooms holding a total of 10 beds and one full bath on each floor.
The space also boasts two kitchens and two large living rooms, (one on each floor), suitable for a large number of guests.
If you wish, the building can be partitioned into two separate living spaces to accommodate two families, or divide larger parties.
Upon your arrival we will greet you with a friendly smile and provide you with a property overview and furnish you with your key. We are happy to furnish you with information and brochures about local attractions, (including the passing trains) as well as upcoming community events.
East Dorset remains a quiet New England village, lending itself to hiking, biking and of course, trout fishing in the world-famous Battenkill trout stream. Dorset is just minutes from outlet store shopping and restaurants in Manchester.
Property Layout:
Access to the first floor is gained through the front door from the porch.
Access to the second floor is gained through the North entrance of the building, opening into a separate anteroom with the stairs leading to the upper floor.
Windows open for fresh air ventilation. In-window air conditioning units are available
Your host resides on-site in the next-door annex and is available to handle guest issues that may arise. My contact information:
Property Amenities:
We provide Cable TV and WiFi throughout the building.
Your kitchens are equipped with the necessary flatware, dishware and cookware.
This fine East Dorset home includes:
Cable TV and WiFi
First floor bathroom has a shower and tub combo and second floor bathroom has a shower
All linens and towels provided
Interaction with host is at our guest's discretion.
East Dorset is home to a number of venues that include the Wilson House, and the VT Horseshow grounds. The Battenkill River rises here in East Dorset with feeding tributary streams in the area.
There are trails in the immediate (and walkable) area.
Both Route 7A and Hiway 7 are conveniently accessed from this area. Historic Mad Tom Road takes you on a lovely scenic drive passing orchards, blueberry farms and otherwise beautiful local scenery.
However you can also catch the locally run bus/vans that run between Rutland and Bennington. These vehicles stop at the East Dorset General Store.
