Our home offers true Vermont beauty, complete privacy, and total comfort. At first arrival you get an immediate sense of peacefulness and the feeling of life slowing down. The air is clean and crisp and there's no one to bother you. We have amazing views and great trails & woods to explore.

Our home lies nestled among some of Vermont's most beautiful mountains. We are located 30 minutes from Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier. We are also close great restaurants, excellent breweries, Ben & Jerry's, and many other wonderful attractions. We take great pride in providing our guests with a memorable and reliable experience.

We are located in wooded area bordering Camel’s Hump State park and Robbins Mountain wildlife management area. We have excellent hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing from our backyard and nearby. From our driveway road is an expansive meadow with spectacular mountain views. Just down the road is a wonderful pond that offers year round recreation and beauty.

The lower level also has a full bathroom and a great room with a 50 inch Sony TV with cable and a premium surround sound system. The great room has a leather reclining couch and recliner. All aspects of our home are modern and have been recently updated.

We also have a two car garage and outdoor fire pit for camp fires.

About a half a mile from our house is Gillett pond, a 200-acre pond carved by glaciers millions of years ago. The pond is a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors. It’s great for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, snowshoeing, skiing, ice skating, or just enjoying some fresh air and beautiful scenery. We have a canoe for guests to use. The pond is a short trip from the trail behind our house or from our road.

Secluded Yet Assessable
We loved that the location was secluded in the mountains yet was only a ten minute drive away from the market and restaurants. Home was wonderful; it was comfortable, and well stocked, as advertised. The property is beautiful. We loved walking our dogs in the woods and along the dirt road to Gillet Pond. We will absolutely be back, loved it.

Highly Recommend
My husband and I spent four days in October at this lovely home in a peaceful and quiet area of Richmond, not too far from Burlington. The primary bedroom was conveniently located on the main floor, with a very comfortable bed, a bathroom and walk-in closet. If you are coming with children or another couple, you will enjoy the private lower level, which has two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a TV room. The house was very clean and comfortable. The host graciously accommodated our dog, who enjoyed walking with us on the pretty trail in the backyard. We'd definitely return.

Relaxing stay!
We had such an enjoyable, relaxed stay at Jeff’s property for the month of August. Very quiet area, beautiful views from the large deck, and the gas grill was an added bonus for us! The house was well-stocked with linens and kitchenware, cozy furniture, and such comfortable beds! Since we were staying so long, we were very happy with the washer and dryer in the house. During our stay, we did have one question for Jeff and he replied right away. Convenient to the Richmond Market, local restaurants, the Huntington River, Ben & Jerry’s, and Stowe. Highly recommended for couples or extended family getaways.

Absolutely beautiful
We had such an amazing stay. Jeff was super communicative and easy to talk to (we came around the flooding so we’re unsure how the roads etc would be). The house was immaculately clean and had everything you could ever need and more. Quiet, peaceful and all around great. My kids are the toughest critics and declared it to be amazing. Would absolutely stay again. I cannot recommend this house enough!

This house is in a great location if you are looking to visit most of Vermont. And it was also a great area to walk, which we do a couple times a day. The info left at the house is great for learning about places to visit and small towns.

We are blessed to have found such a beautiful place to live and look forward to sharing it with our guests. Thank you for considering staying with us.
