About this property

Beauty, Privacy, and Comfort — Your Vermont Retreat Awaits!

Our home offers the best of Vermont — natural beauty, complete privacy, and total comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel a deep sense of peace and the pace of life slowing down. The air is clean and crisp, the views are stunning, and there’s no one to disturb your quiet escape. Enjoy incredible mountain vistas and miles of trails and woods to explore right from your doorstep.

Nestled among some of Vermont’s most beautiful peaks, our home is ideally located — just 30 minutes from Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier. We’re also close to great restaurants, craft breweries, Ben & Jerry’s, and many other local attractions. We take great pride in offering guests a memorable, reliable, and comfortable experience.

Set on the edge of Camel’s Hump State Park and the Robbins Mountain Wildlife Management Area, our property offers direct access to excellent hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. From the road, you’ll enjoy an open meadow with spectacular mountain views, and just down the way lies Gillett Pond — a peaceful, 200-acre glacial pond perfect for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, snowshoeing, skiing, ice skating, or simply enjoying the scenery. A canoe is available for guests to use.

Our contemporary ranch home features two levels, each offering privacy — perfect for families or couples traveling together.

Upper Level: The master suite includes a queen bed, walk-in closet, TV with cable, and an attached bath. The open floor plan includes a full kitchen with modern appliances, dining area, and a spacious living room with a wood stove, loveseat, and full couch. The adjoining deck features a table, four chairs, and a new Weber gas grill — ideal for outdoor dining.

Lower Level: Two bedrooms (one queen, one full) are separated by French doors. This level also features a full bathroom and a comfortable great room with a 50-inch Sony TV, premium surround sound, and a leather reclining sofa and chair. All rooms have been recently updated with modern finishes.

Additional amenities include a two-car garage and a cozy outdoor fire pit — perfect for evenings under the stars.

We’re fully stocked with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay: high-end linens, towels, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, hair dryer, ironing board, washer/dryer with detergent, dishwasher, cookware, dinnerware, coffee makers (Keurig and drip), blender, spices, paper goods, and a dining table that seats six.

Conveniently located in a peaceful wooded setting, we’re just:

5 minutes from Richmond Center (grocery store, brewery, shops, and restaurants)
5 minutes from the Long Trail and Cochran’s Ski Area
15 minutes to Bolton Valley Ski Resort
20 minutes to the shopping centers in Williston
30 minutes to Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier
40 minutes to Sugarbush and Smugglers’ Notch Ski Areas

Experience the quiet charm, fresh mountain air, and endless outdoor adventure that makes Vermont so special — all from the comfort of a home that feels like your own.

Secluded Yet Assessable

We loved that the location was secluded in the mountains yet was only a ten minute drive away from the market and restaurants. Home was wonderful; it was comfortable, and well stocked, as advertised. The property is beautiful. We loved walking our dogs in the woods and along the dirt road to Gillet Pond. We will absolutely be back, loved it.

Highly Recommend

My husband and I spent four days in October at this lovely home in a peaceful and quiet area of Richmond, not too far from Burlington. The primary bedroom was conveniently located on the main floor, with a very comfortable bed, a bathroom and walk-in closet. If you are coming with children or another couple, you will enjoy the private lower level, which has two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a TV room. The house was very clean and comfortable. The host graciously accommodated our dog, who enjoyed walking with us on the pretty trail in the backyard. We'd definitely return.

Relaxing stay!

We had such an enjoyable, relaxed stay at Jeff’s property for the month of August. Very quiet area, beautiful views from the large deck, and the gas grill was an added bonus for us! The house was well-stocked with linens and kitchenware, cozy furniture, and such comfortable beds! Since we were staying so long, we were very happy with the washer and dryer in the house. During our stay, we did have one question for Jeff and he replied right away. Convenient to the Richmond Market, local restaurants, the Huntington River, Ben & Jerry’s, and Stowe. Highly recommended for couples or extended family getaways.

Absolutely beautiful

We had such an amazing stay. Jeff was super communicative and easy to talk to (we came around the flooding so we’re unsure how the roads etc would be). The house was immaculately clean and had everything you could ever need and more. Quiet, peaceful and all around great. My kids are the toughest critics and declared it to be amazing. Would absolutely stay again. I cannot recommend this house enough!
