Modern private home 30 acres w/ pool, river, billiards, & near 4 ski mtns

Welcome to Chestnut Lodge! A woodland entrance hides a stunning private escape! Atop a sweeping hillside meadow, Chestnut Lodge sits in a park-like setting and spectacular views of neighboring mountains. Nestled among 30 private acres of woodlands, hillside, and the West River; the lodge is far enough from the bustle of the resort ski areas but an easy drive to skiing, hiking, fishing, and everything the area has to offer. Nestled in a tranquil wooded setting, this spacious house offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, making it ideal for a peaceful getaway or an outdoor adventure.

But don't take our word for it! Hear what previous guests have to say…

“We couldn’t ask for a better house to spend our weekend in.” - Michael D.
“This home offers so much, beautiful private location, all rooms were spotless and ready at check in time.” - Shirlee B.
“The house is well appointed, and is even bigger inside than the pictures indicate, and probably better-appointed too.” - Jordan L.
“We stayed as a group of families with young kids. The house was in great shape, well laid out and well stocked. Better in person even than the pictures!” - Christopher B.
“Top to bottom, this property was perfect. Condition, cleanliness, communication from the owner to name a few.” Chris M.
“The home is even nicer and more roomy that the photos depict!” - Barbara M.
“This property surpassed our expectations and next time we will certainly stay longer than two nights!” - Cindy B.

GREAT ROOM
From the moment you walk in the door you will feel completely at home. The great room offers a cathedral ceiling living/dining space with wood-burning stone fireplace, wet bar, cherry flooring, with cathedral-height floor to ceiling windows offering picturesque views. The open space makes for the perfect place for large gatherings to snuggle by the fire and take in the amazing views, or gather around the dinning table for family games or meals.

KITCHEN
The country kitchen features granite countertops, propane brick fireplace, and breakfast bar with stunning views through bay windows. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, silverware and appliances you need to fill the house with inviting scents to draw your family and friends into Chestnut Lodge from the great outdoors. The kitchen also provides direct access to an outdoor grilling deck and large screened in porch overlooking the private outdoor pool – perfect for summer fun in the mountain air all day long.

BEDROOMS
The lodge is great for a group of friends, 5 couples or large family gatherings. The main level provides a master bedroom suite right off the kitchen and features a king bed, spa tub and Jack and Jill vanity with a walk-in shower. The upstairs is served by front and back staircases, with a full bath, and 4 additional bedrooms - all with clean, comfortable bedding for your stay.

OFFICE
Homeschooling or working remote? No problem! Off the Great Room is a private office complete with a large desk, two 21 inch monitors, web camera, wireless keyboard and mouse. High-speed internet throughout the house provides download speeds up to 1200 Mbps (national average is 99.3)!

GAMEROOM
The walkout basement is a pine paneled family game room with bar area with full refrigerator, set of cozy couches with large flatscreen, and a bathroom with shower. Outfitted with a pool table, dart board, foosball table, card table, toys for young kids and even vintage video games (Nintendo 64 & PlayStation 2); the lower level is great place for friendly competition with family and friends or a place to send the kids for hours on end.

OUTDOORS
Gorgeous grounds with picturesque fenced pool, Gazebo for relaxing, vegetable and perennial gardens plus raspberry and blueberries bushes for picking, fire pit for meadow picnics. Outdoor games available for use include cornhole, bocci ball, and Kuub. Imagine exploring its stream, stone walls, trails; drifting along its river, floating in the private pool while enjoying breathtaking views - a world unto itself yet close to town and medical services, Mt Snow, Magic, Bromley and Stratton resorts less than a half hour drive.

Come make your memories during any season at the Chestnut Lodge!
