About this property

Romantic Retreat: Mt. Views, Hot Tub, Movie Theater

Located in the heart of the Green Mountains on ten acres. Mountain views and remote feel, but only 20 minutes from Warren/Waitsfield area or 10 minutes to Rochester. Ski or snowshoe out the back door or cozy up and watch movies on home theater with over 200 movies. Architect designed and built, with all the modern amenities, but done in classic cabin style. Enjoy walking on site or hiking the nearby Long Trail, then a relaxing hot tub under the stars. 15 mins to Middlebury Snow Bowl, 20 mins to Sugarbush, 30 mins to Mad River Glen or 45 mins to Killington. Great swimming, kayaking, etc. nearby, too. Perfect any season!

Please remember we have two other homes on the property, so do not play loud music or shout, especially late at night, thanks.

NOTE: Pets are allowed, but there is a $30 fee for the additional cleaning and wear. Please check the box on your reservation request or contact the owner. We also ask that you pick up any land mines and keep them from barking excessively.

WINTER 4wd Car recommendation: It is recommended that you have a 4wd car or truck in the winter AND good SNOW TIRES. "All-season" tires are useless in the fresh snow, especially on the hills. The town is very good about plowing, but the hills can be tricky during snow storms and many people have had to get towed. A sand barrel is provided by the driveway for when extra traction may be needed.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING TRAVEL INSURANCE. If you are prevented from taking your trip because of a covered reason, such as a sickness or injury of yourself or a family member, Travel Protection can help reimburse 100% of your prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs that you would otherwise lose when you cancel.

NOISE: Although the cabin is very private, we have two other homes on the property as well. Also, other homes may not be visible from there, but sound travels a long distance. We ask that our guests be courteous and not play loud music, especially at night. We are fortunate to have great neighbors and want to keep it that way!

SIZE LIMITATIONS: The cabin is 850 sq ft. so not designed for large groups. We have a FIVE person maximum. It is one large space downstairs and two separate bedrooms above. It has a much larger feel than it's size indicates however, due to a two story loft above. There is also a generously sized mud room/entry with a heated floor to dry out ski boots and stow gear. It is therefore best suited for couples or small families who are looking for a well designed and appointed quality cabin. Anyone looking for a traditional Vermont experience will certainly enjoy the areas offerings and the warmth and intimacy provided in the cabin, but large parties are not allowed.

CAMERAS: We have a pair of "Ring" video cameras which overlook the "public" exterior and give us piece of mind if cabin sits empty for extended periods. It also serves as a means to contact us in the event codes/keys are forgotten, etc. As is the law, there are NO interior cameras or any in private exterior areas (hot tub, porch, patio, etc.). We respect your privacy and will provide an image of what is in their field of view upon request.

We had the best stay at Romantic Retreat. Jeff is a wealth of knowledge about Vermont & things to do. His website is so helpful! The cabin was so cozy, clean, and well stocked with everything we could want or need. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after hiking, looking at the stars, and watching some post season baseball on the projector. We hope to be back again someday!

We absolutely loved our stay at the romantic retreat cabin! The hot tub and movie projector were both wonderful, and the property is beautiful! Jeff was very helpful and communicative. Most items that we may have had questions about were either labeled with instructions or on the website/in the binder at the cabin. We came up to see the beauty of Vermont in October and we were so glad we could bring our dog Atticus with us! Such a relaxing weekend, and we plan to come back in the future, maybe to try the new cabin! Thank you Jeff, Ronni, and Lilly for such a great stay!
This is our English Mastiff, Atticus �🤎 He loved relaxing on the porch and hiking!
Corn hole was so much fun!

This retreat was simply stunning. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and adorable. The hot tub was amazing - especially after a round of golf and a long hike! We had a bonfire every night and even enjoyed watching MNF on the big screen projector (which had incredible quality!). This is the exact vacation my fiancé and I needed after non-stop travel for the 2 weeks before. I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything is easy to use and labeled, the guest book guide is very, very thorough. I have already recommended this to many of my friends if they ever wanted a retreat in the Vermont mountains! The host was very responsive and helpful as well. I really hope we’ll be back one day!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

Host profile image
Jeff is a Boston area architect/contractor from Concord, MA. He designed and restored the cabin on his own, working weekends for three years. Initially, his wife was reluctant to tackle such a project, but now done, she is the cabin's biggest fan. Designed and built for his family, Jeff has left no detail undone and enjoys sharing their home here with others.

Why they chose this property

This part of Vermont is close to Boston (less than 3 hours), yet far enough to be in the heart of the pristine Green Mountains. Jeff has been coming to this area since the mid 1970's and dreamed of having a retreat here for 35 years. Skiing is only 15-30 minutes away (4 resorts), and several romantic villages are nearby, giving endless options to explore and enjoy. Being on 10 acres and in Granville, it is also very private and peaceful. Often we just spend the weekend there, relaxing and basking in the cabin's great light and warmth.

What makes this property unique

Although the existing cabin was in sad repair, Jeff saw the potential, and had the vision, tools and skills to make it happen. It is now our favorite place to be and we have established many great relationships there. It is a very active and engaging community, which we love being a part of and welcome others to share in, too!
