About this property

Rural VT Retreat—Complete Privacy on 140 Acres! Long-term rental specials!

This is a beautiful newly-build luxury home that sleeps 10 and has incredible views of the surrounding area that is perfect for a family or group of friends looking for fresh air and seclusion. A half hour from Mt. Snow and built on 140 acres, there is plenty of privacy, plenty of amenities such as a hot tub, central AC, and plenty of space—a perfect rental for any time of the year. Professionally cleaned from top to bottom after each stay.

The Space
An incredible home with five bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms to allow up to 10 guests to say very comfortably. Newly built, this home comes with AC (a luxury for Vermont!), huge windows to let in plenty of light, and a big family room with a huge couch. On the lower level is a pool table, a great way to wind down after a day of fun.

The kitchen is state-of-the-art and very large, has granite counters, and an Aga stove, instructions are included! Perfect for cooking for your whole group, and stocked with everything you need—just bring the food!

Outside is the hot tub and an outdoor shower, along with a balcony and a deck that is perfect for reading, talking, or simply taking in the sights. The deck also has a BBQ for the grill master and there is furniture to serve meals outside during the warmer evenings. There is a stream and hiking trails for those who want some exercise as well.

If you like to read indoors there are also plenty of spaces, including a meditation room, and a fireplace. The bedrooms are beautiful, the bathrooms and gorgeous, and are stocked with towels, linens, and paper products.

The Perfect Day
In the morning, make sure to pause for a minute, take in a sip of hot coffee or tea, and watch as the sun rises—the views are too good to not take in! Then it is time to get ready for a day of adventure, cook up a brunch using the incredible Aga stove, pack up the car, and head on out!

For those staying in winter, head on over to Mt. Snow and shred some powder! You can either spend all day on the mountain, or break it up into two sessions, grabbing a light lunch and doing some shopping in town as you rest the muscles for the afternoon or evening ski session.

After a day of fun, you can warm up and soak those muscles in the hot tub, or start a fire in the fireplace, and with the crackling wood as your companion, have a gaming or movie night as everyone winds down.

If you wish to stay in, put on the hiking boots and explore the nature that Vermont has to offer, or make a warm cup of hot chocolate and curl up with a good book, near a window for those great views of course! If you are feeling creative, try your hand at the next great American novel, or sketch the view for something to hang at your home or office.

The Neighborhood
The home is located in rural Vermont, on 140 acres. Still, the estate is reasonably close to Mt. Snow, which is 30 minutes away, 10 minutes to Shelburne Falls, with lakes nearby for picnicking, swimming, and kayaking.

There are festivals and fairs throughout the year, the horse show is especially famous and is located in Manchester. There are also farms that offer incredibly fresh and tasty produce, eggs, meats, and baked goods, and from June to October is berry picking season.

The town of Whitingham is 18 minutes away and has lakes for boating, swimming, and fishing, and the Deerfield river offers tubing and rafting. There are also several places to eat, as well as a winery, and a brewery. There is a grocery store, a general store, and a place to purchase fuel. For those who like to support local artists, there are two pottery stores with galleries, as well.

The lovely town of Wilmington is only 20 minutes away. There you can find great restaurants, or more casual places to get pizza, and Dot’s is a well-known diner. There is a Shaw’s for grocery shopping, a liquor store, general stores, gas stations and pharmacies, everything you need for your stay. Additionally, there are art galleries and book stores, charming little places to stop in and check out.

Fishing is very popular in Vermont, the lakes and rivers are stocked with trout, and contain local species as well, bass, pikes and perch to name a few. Whether you want to fly fish, cast and reel, or use live bait, anglers of all skills and interests will find a great spot!

This place is perfect year-round! Fun in the snow, AC for the summer, and great views of the trees for autumn—we know you will thoroughly enjoy your stay and leave refreshed and revitalized!

Other Things to Note:

*We have partnered with a concierge service that offers luxury services such as caterers, private chefs, grocery delivery, experiences, and more! Let us know you are interested and we will put you in touch.

*Please inform us of all events to be hosted at the home at the time of booking.

Great place to stay!
A great place to stay, the cabin itself is expansive and all the amenities mean there is always something to do. The property feels secluded but still has good access to general stores and white water rafting places, which we enjoyed. The only quirk is that the model of oven/stove is always on, which can keep the place pretty toasty. Would strongly recommend to people looking for a nice and quiet place to stay.

Great space for gathering
This was a great place to stay for a large group of friends, just had technical difficulties due to lighting storms the land line and internet went out and the cell service doesn’t work in the area so we needed to drive down the road a ways to get in contact with people, download music to listen to. Also the oven can be a bit intimidating to use. The location in beautiful, suggest going for a dip in the river if there during the summer. The house is very comfortable with many interesting art pieces and plenty of seating options and cozy blankets and pillows. Great for big dinners and long night chats

Family Weekend for NMH Graduation
Fantastic house for large family. Great kitchen to cook meals. We played pool and used the hot tub. Thank you to the caretakers for finding and returning our kindle we left behind. The owner was VERY easy to work with and responded to my questions quickly and professionally. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway.

Lady Bugs everywhere; True 4 bedroom house NOT 5
There were swarms of lady bugs flying around when the lights were on. They landed on the plates and food. There were many bugs that were dead along the windows. They would land on you and the sofa while you were sitting down. There is no cell reception around the house and driving toward the house for approximately 15 minutes driving distance. Please bring a map. Your GPS will not work. There is WiFi inside the house. House is truly 30-40 minutes from Mount Snow. This house has 4 true bedrooms with an additional Murphy bed inside what would be the walk-in closet of the Master bedroom but is currently being used as a meditation/prayer room. We decided to stick all the kids in the other bedrooms because we didn't want the kids playing in this room. The bed linens also smelled. The Aga stove is always on and the outside of the front ovens get very hot. Be careful with kids (or adults) because they could get burned if they touch it. One of the adults in our party got burned. We were disappointed, especially with the amount of money we spent. We would not stay here again.

Perfect weekend retreat
The house is lovely and perfectly sized for our group (two families) of eight. The kids loved the murphy beds! The view is stunning. We even had a perfect 10" snowfall the day of our departure. We loved the Aga as most of us are from the UK and grew up with them in our homes. :)

Beautiful VT house
We had a lovely stay at this property! The house was beautiful, great views, the hot tub was relaxing and fit 6 of us in it comfortably. Lots of towels, robes, and a stocked pantry for all of our needs. I did not have trouble sleeping, but would have liked to have newer mattresses on the beds. I think this is something that the property should invest in. There are no curtains , so if light bothers you and you want to sleep in, bring an eye mask-- but I actually enjoyed waking up to the gorgeous view. Upon arrival there was a left out mouse trap in one of the bedrooms.. mice are to be expected in a country home but I would have liked to not be greeted by the mousetrap, but staying in that room wasn't an issue, nor did I see/hear any mice while I was in there at night, but another guest could hear them. Overall a beautiful place. I would come back again.

Beautiful Home.
My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice quiet place to vacation close to home (Upstate NY), this was it. Love the Aga stove, better than the grill. The jacuzzi was nestled in the woods, given I am a city girl, it was a little awkward at first, but very relaxing. My only issue was the mattress was so uncomfortable, it was difficult to sleep. It also rained one day and we were not able to use the firepit because it was too wet to stay lit. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the owners left a nice bottle of wine and items for breakfast. If they were to invest in newer mattresses, the overall rating would be 5 stars.

Good stay for family 70th Bday
Overall I would give our stay a 4.5 star, but that's not an option. We had a great family stay over 3 days. We stayed here with 6 adults, two older kids, and a young toddler for my dad's 70th birthday. Pros: - Property is well maintained -Great view -Easy check in -Good communication with host -House is spacious. Living room, dining areas, family room, gave it easy space to spread out for our whole group. -Kitchen was well appointed with everything you would need. (We brought our own stuff just in case since we weren't sure, our own toaster came in handy). -Fire pit outside was great to use for chilly fall evenings -Deck is awesome for hanging out as well -Towels and sheets bedding was provided which was helpful. -Host left a welcome basket of wine, muffins, juice, butter, milk which was very thoughtful. Cons: (my cons list is NOT long, I just wrote a lot of detail) -Stove is a little difficult to work. Youtube videos are helpful. We made breakfast each morning, and even made flatbread pizzas, so its clearly doable, but requires too much thought for being on vacation. Also we taped a large cardboard box across the front so our toddler wouldnt get burned as the oven is always on (brought it was us after reading other reviews). I left the large amazon box cardboard piece in the basement for any future guests that may want to use it :-) -This is a true 4 bedroom house, not 5 like the listing says. There are 3 queen bed bedrooms, and 4th bedroom with two murphy beds. The "5th bedroom" is actually a large walk-in-closet within the master suite that they consider a meditation room with additional murphy beds in it. We were hoping our two older kids would have had their own rooms, but they shared the 4th bedroom that has murphy beds since we didnt want them in the master suite's "meditation room/walk in closet" with us. -Windows have NO Curtains/Shades/Blinds so if you plan on sleeping in...think again. -There was a lot of white dog hair all over the living room rugs and couches which got on all of our clothes. The rest of the house didnt have the issue luckily.

Great family vacation home
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful VT home. The owners made it feel like it was our home. The kitchen was equipped with anything you could possibly need. Only concern was the hot AGA stove with my 20 month old grandchild. We had to block off the area and be vigilant. But very doable. Beautiful hiking areas in walking distance. Very quiet. A true slice of heaven.

Weekend Trip
We had a group of 10 to celebrate a special birthday. The house is spacious, gorgeous and extremely nicely finished and decorated. The beds were comfortable with soft sheets and other linens. The property as a whole is well taken care of. We hung out on the deck almost the entire time. The host was very accommodating. We loved our stay-by far the best house we’ve ever stayed in. Nearby, we went to Zoar for zip lining and white water rafting which was another INCREDIBLE experience.
