About this property

Spectacular home on 60 acres, swimming pond & trails, pet friendly + EV charger

This spacious, eco-friendly, pet-friendly and very private timber frame property is in E Orange, Vermont where sugar maples and mountain views abound. Relax on the large deck or take a swim in our private pond. Hike or bike on miles of well-maintained single and double track trails. Evenings can be spent roasting marshmallows from Adirondack chairs around the fire pit (firewood provided) or playing ping pong in the basement. If you enjoying cooking, you will love our well-appointed, open plan kitchen with breakfast bar and country-style dining room table. There is also a large picnic table and gas grill for outdoor dining with complimentary views of the Milky Way, and during the day your kids may enjoy exploring the brook or pond, playing board games, flying high on our rope swing or curling up with a book from our extensive children's book collection. If you need to stay connected, we have now installed high speed fiber optic service so you can work from away without interference from weather or external users. And you will find a level 2 EV charger to ensure you have plenty of charge in your electric vehicle to explore the surrounding area. This is a delightful spot to enjoy the quiet beauty of Vermont in any season.

Wonderful time in beautiful, private location

Our group of 6: grandparent, parents, 3 kids had a great time staying here. Spacious home, beautiful surroundings, lots of room to roam around for the kids. Very peaceful and private. We loaded up on food for the week and large ate in the house. It’s somewhat of a drive to get to restaurants and attractions, but we didn’t mind.

Great place out in the country

We loved our vacation here. There is so much to do on the property. The pond is good for swimming, but not much of a shore so you have to go off the dock. The owners are super responsive and made sure our stay was great. The trails are a lot of fun. There is only one small TV, which was fine for us as we were busy with other activities, but just wanted to note it. We could very easily spend another week here and would be happy to visit again. It was one of our best family vacations!

Beautiful, serene and comfortable

We love our time at Genevieve and Colin’s amazing house and property and this was our third year! They are amazing and attentive hosts. We had everything we needed including the maple syrup they left for us (it’s amazing in coffee, btw). If you want a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting and don’t necessarily want to see many other people , this is the place for you! You can hike, bike, swim, hammock, contemplate nature, then head into Barre to the grilled cheese restaurant.

Relaxing, quiet, sanctuary

Relaxing and quiet. beautiful views. Comfortable and nicely appointed amenities. Our short stay did not allow time or have the weather cooperate to explore the available trails but looked interesting. We spent quality family time removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. It was just what we needed.

Vermont Get Away

Colin and Genevieve's home was the perfect setting for a milestone birthday celebration with eight friends. The seating areas and bedrooms were all comfortable and the large dining room table was perfect for our meals. Kitchen and bathrooms were modern, well-equipped and clean. We appreciated the fresh flowers inside the house and the seasonal decor on the comfortable deck. The hosts have thought of everything!

The pictures and description do not begin to do this property justice! It is truly a piece of heaven on earth. The home is spotless and cozy, the grounds are breathtaking, and the hostess could not have been more helpful. Every detail was perfection! We can’t wait to be back next fall! Thank you, Genevieve!

Home away from home

This property was wonderful. Exactly as advertised. Views were outstanding and the house had everything we needed. My husband and I stayed with our adult children and their significant others. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The property is literally in the middle of nowhere, but for us that was no problem because we had family close by. I would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for our needs.

Amazing spot! We absolutely loved it.

Where do we begin? Genevieve and Colin's place was amazing. It was beautiful, spacious, welcoming, warming, and so comfortable. The pictures really don't do justice to the house and its surroundings. Our group of four got together to reconnect and work (a writing retreat). The hosts were amazingly prompt when communicating with us. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful and peaceful property

The house is so pretty, beautiful views from every room! Huge gorgeous property with a pond and trails on it. It’s a great place to be back to nature and enjoy only the sounds of birds, bugs and frogs from the pond. There’s lots of space for kids and dogs to run around. If you like reading that have a wonderful collection of books too. The hosts are very helpful and answer questions promptly and help solve any issues that may come up.

Gorgeous setting, lovely house

We had a fabulous time! The setting is heavenly, from the hammock chair to the pond to watching sunrise from bed, it is truly idyllic. The host was very responsive and we had everything we needed. The beds and linens were comfortable and we had all the extra towels and blankets we could possibly need. There are all the modern kitchen amenities, which is very luxurious for Vermont! The wild blackberries were in season and we found a few blueberries growing! Definitely pack a frisbee or a football to throw because there is a ton of space for that. One thing you need to know: the stairs are a little steep and would be tough for older folks.

About the host

Hosted by Colin and Genevieve

Host profile image
This is our family homestead. My husband Colin was raised here and, after buying the property from his father, we decided it was the perfect spot to have our own family. To do this we put in organic vegetable gardens and built a pig pen and chicken coop for a very local food source. Next, because we love to mountain bike, we spent our free time building several miles of fun, flowy single track through the woods. We also cleared glades for skiing in the winter behind the house.

We have loved raising our family in this peaceful space. Watching the kids play in the sandbox or apple trees, or our black lab swim circles in the pond, has never gotten old. Now that we cannot be here full time, we decided to refurbish the home to make it more comfortable for visitors, updating the kitchen and bedrooms. We are so happy to have the chance to share it with others and hope you will find this the perfect place to unwind with your friends and family.

What makes this property unique

The house has solar collectors to provide hot water and solar panels for green electricity. While we are on the grid (so no risk or running out of power or hot water) it's nice to know your carbon footprint will be kept to a minimum.

See the Milky Way! The location of our home is great for seeing the night sky. With so little light pollution sitting on our open porch you will be amazed at all the stars you can see and, if you are there in the heart of summer, the fire flies are a show all on their own.

Hear the sounds of summer from bard owls to bluebirds. The wetland, brook and pond on the property are home to peepers and bullfrogs, painted turtles and salamanders. Being surrounded by this natural habitat can be a source of fun and learning for your children and provides a wonderful chorus of sounds as you fall asleep.
