1830 VT Farmhouse + saltwater hot tub & organic garden near Stratton Mountain.

Forget the crowds this Summer. Escape and relax in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Enjoy our cooler climate on our private brook front beach or hike to a nearby waterfall or swimming hole and float in one of our river tubes with a cold beverage in the cupholder. There are many hiking trails just out the door in Jamaica State Park. Just download the AllTrails app! Or you can hang at River & Rye our local whisky bar/restaurant, that often has live music, just a 2 minute walk from the house or West River Provisions next door our local grocery/deli, where you can get just about anything you need. We have the ultimate screened-in porch with seasonal views from the large 2 person hammock. There's also comfortable seating, an icebox, a ceiling fan, dart board, gas grill, a wood burning fireplace (also with small grill) and a nice salt water hot tub. The porch can seat 12-14 adults for family/group fireside dining on two folding beer garden tables, (normally stowed away in the kitchen). Chefs will enjoy the local farmers' markets and feel right at home in our well equipped eat-in kitchen which can accommodate up to 8 at the farm table, plus 3 to 4 more at the bar. There’s one obvious master suite, but 3 couples + a few kids are well accommodated, each feeling almost like they have their own luxurious suite. The downstairs Queen bedroom, living room and connected bathroom is sometimes used as a guest suite and has its own refrigerator. The other king bedroom is upstairs in a large private space once used for drying herbs, but now also accommodates a ping pong table. WiFi is strong through high speed Xfinity cable internet. There are 3 smart flatscreen televisions. While we are located in the Green Mountain National Forest, we are not in the sticks. There are village sounds you will hear and either love or hate. If you stay more than a week you might hear the fire station. If you hear an air raid siren it either means they are responding to an emergency situation or it’s poker night. The property also has a large fenced in yard with a fire pit surrounded by adirondack chairs, perfect for s'mores and stargazing, also an organic vegetable garden, fruit trees and berry bushes available to our guests. We are new to VRBO, but have been hosting for many years on other platforms with great reviews.

Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms.
