About this property

Sprawling, Dream Farmhouse on 5 Scenic Acres near to Mount Snow, Lake & Town

True North is our dream home in the heart of the Green Mountains. Lovely in all four seasons, this farmhouse is a sprawling, beautifully appointed getaway set on 5 acres of natural beauty. The grounds include 3 adorable barns, gardens, a pasture, streams, a pond & National Forest direct access. Easy to reach in all weather conditions and conveniently located only 15 min to Mount Snow, 2 min to Lake Whitingham and 4 min to downtown Wilmington. Check out all of our pics for more details!

True North is a beautiful, large farmhouse surrounded by nature. The home features:

- A very large ground floor with multiple cozy common areas, allowing for everyone to spread out and have their own space. There is plenty of room for games, snuggling by the fire or curling up with a good book.

- A fully appointed chef's kitchen complete with griddle-topped stove, large island (for gathering and snacks!) and secondary fridge for plenty of storage. There is also an enormous dining table for hosting your family and friends for an amazing feast.

- Two living rooms, a wood burning stove, brand new furniture throughout, Direct TV and Internet access.

- Three bedrooms upstairs (each with a bed for 2 people), a den/bedroom on the main floor (with bunk beds and a pull out couch) and a pull out couch in the living room.

- There are 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer available for guest’s use.

- Outside deck with BBQ (charcoal and gas).

- 5 acres of grounds across the street from the river, with direct access to the National Forest. The grounds include a fire pit, gardens, a hammock, a stream, 3 barns and a rolling green pasture.

Additional amenities include: Towels, bedsheets, pillows, shampoo, hair dryers, iron, cable TV, cooking basics, and plenty of parking.

True North has everything you need to immerse yourself in the outdoors or view it from the comfort of the sunroom. It is incredible in all four seasons, with tons to do.

- Winter: Only 15 minutes to Mount Snow for snowboarding, skiing and sledding. Snowmobile access trails are nearby, as are snowmobile tours. Snowshoeing can be done right out the back door and there is plenty of room for making a snowman in the pasture!

- Spring/Summer/Fall: Fish in the river across the street, rent a motorboat or jetskis on the lake, or try kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding in the reservoir, all 5 minutes away! There are also hiking and biking paths everywhere, as well as downhill mountain biking at Mount Snow. We particularly love the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge, an outdoor hiking/ scavenger hunt exhibition run yearly from Memorial Day to Labor Day in nearby Dover, VT.

The town of Wilmington is less than 5 minutes away with an array of restaurants, local boutiques and all of the necessities you need including a supermarket, liquor store and Rite-aid.

We love this property and I'm sure you will too!

Beautiful home for a family vacation!
Angela was a wonderful hostess for our family holiday vacation. First, the pictures do not do this beautifully appointed farmhouse justice! They have transformed this old farmhouse into a cozy welcoming gathering place while maintaining all of the charming ‘Vermont ness’ from the wide planked floors to the amazing Kitchen oven/stove!! Our family of 5 had a wonderful start of the year together at this beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Kaplan

Host profile image
We are four friends, travelers and adventure lovers absolutely in love with the Green Mountains of Vermont. After over 20 years of renting at Mount Snow, we finally found the perfect place to hang our fishing poles and rest our snowboards.

Why they chose this property

True North is a once in a lifetime find! From the moment we found it, we knew it was the one. We feel in love with the flowing open floor plan, chef’s kitchen and enough room to comfortably host all our family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The property at True North is what really sets it apart. Surrounded by the mountains and the forest, there is a beautiful view outside of every window. But when we saw the stream, the duck pond, the pasture and the three picturesque barns we thought we had just found Vermont heaven. At night, throw a couple of logs in the fire pit, breakout the marshmallows, look at the millions of stars and listen to the sounds of the river rush.
