A comfortable stay in a beautiful part of Vermont
We had a very pleasant stay here with friends. The property has interesting boulders to play on and woods to explore, and there is a beautiful forest trail just a couple of hundred yards down the road. It's located on a quiet country road about a one-minute drive off Route 7 through the village of East Dorset (don't blink). The house is perched at the top of a steep driveway, and the walk from the driveway to the front door would be challenging for people with mobility issues.The house had everything we needed, with the exception of a modern gas grill (our fault for not reading closer... and the owners graciously offered us use of their charcoal weber when we reached out). All in all, a comfortable house in a beautiful part of Vermont.

I recommend this Idyllic Vermont homestead!
This home is a quintessential Vermont Green Mountain experience. The natural setting will easily take your breath away! It's nestled privately among the scenic Green Mountains, but was an easy location to take in ski slopes, galleries, great dining and pretty villages that held unexpected surprises. It can easily accommodate a large family gathering, but also felt very intimate for the two of us. As a smartly designed new home, it had an open floor plan and convenient amenities I hoped for, but with the atmosphere and distinction of a century old home. Whether I wanted to explore all that was offered nearby, or just cozy up with a book in front of the fire or on the porch, I was left at the end of my stay feeling uniquely rejuvenated in spirit. No doubt, I will return here to recapture that feeling.
