About this property

Enjoy the Balsam Lodge which was built to host a great vacation with open spaces for gathering and quiet places when needed. The Lodge's 3 acres were part of a Christmas Tree farm which is where the name is derived from. The Lodge was custom designed to host a great vacation for a family or for a group of friends. With beds sleeping 10 people there is plenty of room.

As you enter the house thru the mudroom you will find adequate space to hang coats and store shoes and gear. Access to the 2 car garage is to one side while a full laundry room and a full bathroom with stall shower is off this area also.

The living room with 50" TV and soundbar is accessed off the mudroom hallway and opens to the "Chef" inspired kitchen. You fill find a Keurig Coffee Maker and a regular drip coffee maker, toaster oven, crock pot, rice cooker dishwasher, 5 burner cooktop, double ovens and dual sink locations just to mention a few of the items plus of course plenty of dishes and silverware.

Off the kitchen you can enter the dining room with 8' custom wood plank table
which has seating for 10. This is a great place to have meals or play a board game. Walking out of the sliding glass door of the dining room you can access the deck and BBQ Grill.

The Great Room, which can be accessed off the kitchen or living room, has a wood burning fireplace (plenty of wood in the shed), seating for 8. Have a cocktail at the bar that is also located in the Great Room and discuss how you conquered The Goat or hiked Bingham's Falls! Relax in front of a roaring fire and watch the 55" TV above the fireplace.

Upstairs are the 4 bedrooms. The first bedroom is a the master suite with a king bed and it's own bathroom with tub. There are also 2 queen bedrooms and 1 bunk room with 2 custom made bunk beds. These three bedrooms share the third bath that is upstairs or the bath on the main floor.

In the basement we have added a rec room with a TV and two comfortable couches (futons) plus a Foosball table. In addition there is a play room for the kids that includes a variety of toys for their use.

During the warmer months all bedrooms and living areas have Air Conditioning! We have recently installed a outdoor firepit in the backyard for your enjoyment.

THE LODGE IS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND NEW CLEANING PROTOCOLS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO KEEP OUR GUESTS SAFE. Discounts have been added for 1 week and 1 month. If you have interest in another time frame (2 or 3 weeks or longer than a month) please contact us. We can discuss!

Eclipse trip

I came to the Balsam Lodge from Boston with a group of friends to see the total solar eclipse on April 8. This was a great viewing location and an excellent vacation house to stay at with a bunch of friends. It was genuinely everything we could want in a vacation house - we particularly appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the fire pit! I'd love to come here again and I will definitely recommend this place to others.

Men’s Long Weekend

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. Location is just outside of town making it good for our group of 8 for some privacy while also being close to dining and local breweries. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

March 2023 Skiing Trip to Stowe, VT

Our family ski trip to Stowe was fabulous. The Balsom Lodge was a great place to stay. The layout of the house was well thought out and the family enjoyed hanging out in the family room in front of the fireplace. There was plenty of dry wood in the woodshed. The kitchen was ample size but we wish it had been slightly bigger. The only negative to our stay was the lack of toilet paper and paper supplies in the kitchen. For the price per night, we expected more in the way of these little conveniences. Overall, we had a great time and we would recommend staying here.

Great stay at Balsam Lodge

Visited the area for a ski trip with another family and had a great stay. The house was super clean and comfortable. Upstairs had two nice sized Queen bedrooms, one room with two sets of bunk beds and a large Master bedroom with full bathroom and large closet. Some of the kids opted to stay in the basement area which had two futons, tv, football table. Having 3 full bathrooms was great! One in master, one in upstairs hallway and one on main floor. This made our mornings getting to the mountain easier. We loved the stone fire place, kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Just a short drive to town which had cute stores, restaurants, coffee shops. Grocery store was just a few minutes away. We also enjoyed the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour. Communication with Vinnie and Lauren was great. When we got several inches of snow, the snow removal company worked to have it cleared right away so we can drive to Stowe that morning. My daughter ended up leaving items at the house that she needed and Vinnie and Lauren were nice enough to have them mailed back to us! Overall a great house with great hosts. We would definitely stay again.
