☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆
The place has six bedrooms across two levels; four upstairs on the second level and two on the main level. Each of these lovely, bedrooms has comfortable beds and functional touches like USB chargers on either side of the bed. Each room has its own thermostat for heat, so each bedroom can have its own ideal sleeping climate to recover from the day’s activities and wake up refreshed for what the next day brings.
The primary suite upstairs is furnished with a plush king-sized bed, an Apple TV, and a cushy armchair perfect for curling up with a good book. There is also a sit/stand desk with an external monitor looking out a big window to make the work that much more enjoyable. The bright, spacious ensuite bathroom has a walk-in shower.
The second bedroom upstairs has a similar setup, with a comfy queen-sized bed, a desk, and an ensuite full bathroom. The third bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and a twin bed, as well as a small desk. The fourth bedroom has two twin-sized beds and an Apple TV. The third and fourth bedrooms have access to a full bathroom with a walk-in shower in the hallway upstairs.
The remaining two bedrooms are on the main level. The fifth bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a twin bed, while the sixth bedroom has two twin beds. There is one bathroom on the main floor in between the bedrooms with a shower/tub combo so you can choose between a relaxing soak or a refreshing rinse.
I stock all the bathrooms with organic toiletries from Pharmacopeia, along with essentials like cotton rounds and Q-tips, disposable makeup remover wipes, and plush towels. If you’re a weirdo like me and prefer a raspier towel, the ones meant for the hot tub will do the trick.
☆☆ KITCHEN ☆☆
The full kitchen has everything you need to whip up tasty meals for large groups, including stainless steel appliances, cookware, dishes, and spacious countertops for prepping and serving your groups favorite dishes. I provide olive oil, balsamic, and a full suite of 24 organic spices, and a dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze because who wants to spend time doing the dishes while on vacation?
I aim to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I provide a starter supply of coffee and three different ways to make it. Choose from a Keurig, stovetop espresso, or drip coffee.
At mealtime, you can sidle up to the kitchen bar (seating for three), or enjoy meals as a whole group at the formal dining table (seating for 10). There is also another bartop seating area next to the dining table for additional guests.
A small laundry room sits just off the kitchen, complete with a full-size washer and dryer, along with complimentary detergent.
☆☆ LOUNGES ☆☆
The main lounge sits right across from the kitchen, making it the perfect place to hang out and keep the group’s designated chefs company as they work their magic. The large, plush sectional is unbelievably comfortable, so here’s a warning: once you sit down, you’re not going to want to get up. Luckily, there is a massive flat-screen Smart TV to keep you entertained as you vegetate, and a whole DVDs collection to choose from. To cozy up even more, there are extra blankets and a stove with live fire (automatically lit by the thermostat). It really is an amazing ski/mountain lodge. I love it.
There is an additional sunken lounge area complete with a pool table, a bar area made out of live-edge wood cut down on this very property that I made myself, and plenty of huge windows that bathe the area in beautiful natural light. After a day of skiing or hiking, the boots and wet mittens can go on the boot dryers so they’re ready for another day of play on the trails.
Upstairs, there’s a sunroom with a poker table, a desk, and an additional lounge space with a leather sofa and two super comfy rocking chairs, perfect for devouring a good book or enjoying a happy hour drink with your loved ones. Or bust out the board games to crown the reigning Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Code Names, or UNO champ.
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
The epic outdoor space is a highlight of the property, and I’m particularly proud of it, and generally great all 4 seasons.
After a full day on the slopes, hiking trails, or swimming holes, you can return home to a long soak in the private hot tub, then grill dinner on the gas BBQ. There’s a massive, custom-made 16-person picnic table for dining alfresco (had to be delivered with a crane), a propane fire pit table, and a wood-burning fire pit for roasting marshmallows. The whole area is surrounded by lovely string lights that creates a warm ambiance, allowing us to enjoy the outdoor space long after sunset. The big yard is great for building snow forts, playing yard games, or letting the ids and pups run off some energy.

Guest Access:
You will receive a personal access keycode on the day of your check-in. You’ll have private access to the entire house, including the gorgeous indoor spaces, pool table, poker table, workspaces, and full kitchen. Plus, you have a huge outdoor space to enjoy with a hot tub and BBQ grill. I have free, great WiFi, plus multiple workstations for all the digital nomads in the group. All the TVs are equipped with Apple TV, and there are several AirPlay speakers, including a portable one.
I like to welcome guests with a complimentary basket of goodies with things to elevate your stay, including local Vermont products (maple syrup, anyone?), s’more-making materials, and some more little surprises. There is plenty of parking in the driveway for at least 7 cars (please follow parking layout in guide), and I also have a level 2 EV charger for anyone who needs it. I hope you love the home as much as I do!
Dogs (up to 2) are welcome for a fee of $50. It should be charged automatically when you book if you specify you’re bringing a pet, but let me know if it isn’t and we’ll take care of it. Any other pets on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out.
Vehicle access: The place is just off of the main road (0.3 miles). The main road is generally kept very clean and quickly plowed during snowstorms. The road that the house is on is pretty flat and the driveway is, too. I also have sand barrels at both ends of the driveway for added traction just in case, but I’ve never needed to use it. Most people would be fine with a 2-wheel drive car to get into and out of the house, but some of the places you might go to in the area may not be maintained as well, especially during winter storms. For this reason, I recommend to anyone coming to the area to come in an AWD car if possible.
Other Things to Note:
✹ Right away upon booking, I'll send you an automated message with a Rental Agreement for you to e-sign. By booking, you agree to complete this step immediately post booking or the reservation may be cancelled.
✹ No smoking or vaping.
✹ No parties or events without prior approval
✹ The hot tub may not be up to temperature when you first arrive. I empty, sanitize, and refill it on a regular schedule as part of regular maintenance. It takes almost 10 hours to heat up after I fill it up, so if I do that on the day of your check-in, it may not be up to temperature that first night. I coordinate it for the day before if possible so that it is ready by when you check in, but it's not always possible. If you'd specifically like for me to drain, sanitize, and refill before your stay even if it's not "due" for the service, let me know and I can coordinate it if you cover the maintenance people's charge.
Interaction with Guests:
Please message me if anything! I also have an emergency line set up 24/7 where I or a member of my team will answer any day, any time. You'll receive that number in an auto-response to any message you send me during your stay.
