Our cabin is on 11 acres, and we have only one neighbor in the summer only. The cabin is on the side of a private mountain at 1300 feet elevation so there is an entire mountain to hike or snowshoe(all sizes available for your use). Our porch overlooks a brook that passes right by the house. Because it is remote, cell phone service is spotty at the cabin, but you can use WIFI calling or the land line, we stream TV and have a ROKU and smart TV if you have Netflix/Amazon Prime/HULU etc. subscriptions. WiFi is good unless you are streaming and on phones and computers at the same time. There are sleds , snow shoes and snow tubes as well.
The Cabin is 10 minutes from Great Sugar Houses (Maple Syrup Weekend end of March), and Artisan and Dairy Farms (There is a Vermont cheese weekend and the dairy farms give tours). In 20 minutes you can get to Manchester (18 miles), Bromley Mountain is 25 miles, The Norman Rockwell Homestead in Arlington and another terrific general store are about 15-20 minutes away. In Dorset there is a great marble quarry for swimming; about 15-20 minutes.
Saratoga Springs is about 35-40 miles and the drive is not bad if you want to see the horse races or go to the mineral baths.
There are all types of board games and a pool table in the lower level. There is also a laundry room in the lower Level.
The kitchen is fully applianced right down to coffee grinder and garlic press.
Bedroom on the main level has a queen bed, the Lower Level bedroom has two twins and the upstairs bedrooms have 4 twins in each but comfortably sleep two adults in each. Because we are on the side of a mountain, the lower level is a walk out and bedroom has a window.
Our driveway is long and steep, so we recommend an AWD vehicle in the winter months.
We are sure you will enjoy the cabin as much as we do.

Perfect spot for a family get away. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of firewood, newer bathrooms, very clean and comfortable. Pool tables and board games kept everyone happy and entertained.
Our stay at this cabin was wonderful. The peaceful, private setting, the beauty of the cabin and its surroundings, the completely stocked kitchen, and the fireplace at night made this a perfect place to stay on our trip to New England. We would definitely stay here again.
We love how cozy the home was .we have stayed in alot of cabins over 20 years coming to Vermont and this was the best and my spouse love the Italian vibe since he grew up in Italy til he was 16 .plus we were close to our families up there.

Loved the cabin and the location, Steve was a great host and responded quickly to a couple of questions we had, the cabin and property are very well kept. I would definitely stay here again and I strongly recommend it for anyone looking to get away from the rush of things.
So enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The screened in porch was very relaxing. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed & the beds were very comfortable .The location is great for visits to NY & beautiful small towns in Vermont.
Very cute cabin in one of the prettiest areas of the country. The hosts were very nice and shared detailed instructions as well as recommendations for the area.
We had a lovely time, unplugged, and explore the surrounding countryside and towns. Thank you!

Very nice out of the way location. Very secluded but easy to find. Lots of room especially for a couple. Screened porch was very relaxing. Loved that firewood was available for the working fireplace. I would recommend this location!
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded place to get away from it all this is the place for you. Very quaint and relaxing. We enjoyed our time here. It has a babbling brook you can hear from the screened in porch. Good internet connection. Walking trail thru the woods.
Absolutely great Vermont log cabin experience. Loved the stream, cabin and property. We have been coming up to the area for over a decade. Both for VSF and off-season. Steve and family provided a great experience for us. He reached out during our rental to make sure everything was ok.

Wonderful cabin!
The pictures really do not do this sweet little cabin justice! It was just what my husband and I were looking for. It was very clean, quiet and quaint! It made us want to buy a log cabin in Vermont some day, but until then we will definitely be going back to this wonderful place! Thank you Steve and Nancy for making our stay so amazing! Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer!

We had a relaxing visit to this very clean, cozy cabin. The cabin is about a 20 minute drive to Manchester Center for groceries, etc. There are many hikes within a 30-minute drive. Sitting on the back porch and listening to the river rush by at night was our favorite activity. The cabin has a wonderful wood burning fireplace. We loved our stay!
This house is surrounded by trees and a babbling brook -- nicely set back from the road. Worth the trip just to spend time on the great screened in porch, listening to the brook and the birds. The kitchen is well designed, completely equipped, and well organized. Good hiking trails nearby at the Merck Center, Dorset, etc. and also a converted rail trail behind Rupert.

Fly infestation
Property location very nice. However cabin was infested with flies which was extremely annoying and made our stay very unpleasant. Although the location was presteen we won't be renting in the future.

We have owned this property for 20 years and rented for the past 8 years. This is the first fall that we have experienced Cluster Flies. We were told they they hibernate in the eves of some homes until spring. With our home being a vacation rental, the flies woke up when the heat was turned up. We were there the week prior to this guest and we thought we saw the a few stragglers, but obviously there were more. I asked this guest if they saw any on arrival and they said no. They didn’t contact me or complain while there so I expected everything was fine. I have an exterminator going in next we to take care of the problem. I apologize to these guests.
Surrounded by beautiful nature, cabin was welcoming and cozy. Steve is a great owner and very caring as well. We were there 7 nights/8days and it rained for 3 days but we found other things to do other than hiking and enjoyed ourselves. Only wish there were ceiling lights in the bedroom and the living room, it is quite dark to read or play games. We would visit this place again.

Thank you Calvin, please come again. We will add more portable lights because it isn’t really possible to run them to the ceiling in a log cabin once constructed.
Steven , the cabin and property were all great. We learned a lot about the region on this trip. If not from around the area do some research for the area. Map/atlas would be useful. The phone service for trying to do anything spontaneous on the move including eating out was frustrating.

There is a land line and cell phones will work on WiFi calling. This is all in the cabin instructions. There is an atlas on the shelf in the living room. We are glad you had a nice stay, please come again next time in Vermont.

Why they chose this property
We traveled to the area multiple times and decided to purchase. We spent 10 years improving the property to a point where we feel we can finally arrive and not feel compelled to work on improvements. Although we seldom come without completing a chore or two.
What makes this property unique
The setting brings you down a few notches when arriving from the city or suburbs.
