Our family retreat is set on a hilltop with sweeping views of farmland, distant mountains and Caspian Lake. Inside, guests will enjoy a large open-concept kitchen and dining area, a comfy family room with a wood-burning stove, books, games, puzzles, television, sound system, and a Steinway grand piano. Amenities include access to the beautiful & private Lodge Beach, where guests will find a pristine lake with clear water, a sandy beach, boats, and a floating dock to swim to and dive from.
The walk from the house to the Lodge, and then to the Lodge Beach is about 15 beautiful minutes, but driving is also an option. If going as a group it's nice to carpool down when possible in order to save space at the beach parking lot. A bike ride around the lake is about 7 miles of hilly dirt roads, and a drive to Willey's General Store will take 5 minutes. A good rule of thumb is that all kinds of hiking, jogging, walking or bike riding can be done right from the house, but if you require supplies etc., you will need to drive. The driveway at the house can accommodate 4+ cars comfortably.
The house faces south and is flooded with light year-round! Much of the land is in "Current Use", meaning it is preserved as farmland and is maintained by a local farmer who uses it to grow hay for his cows. There is a neighboring summer house in an adjacent lot but our retreat is very private, peaceful, and otherwise secluded. All-in-all, this is a dream retreat for families who love the NorthEast Kingdom in general and Greensboro in particular.
