About this property

Family Home w/ Great Yard, Fireplace, Kayaks, AC & WiFi - Near Skiing/Lakes

Beautifully situated on the bank of Wardsboro Brook, this secluded, family-friendly home is a place to find ease, relaxation, and wonderful access to outdoor recreation in every season. Skiing at Mount Snow and Stratton Mountain, kayaking and paddleboarding at Grout Pond, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail - it's all within a few minutes' drive. Snowmobiling on the VAST Trail System is just up the hill.

This peaceful, tree-lined home is nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest along Wardsboro Brook, allowing you to nap in the hammock or picnic at the water's edge, and host family badminton or croquet tournaments in the yard. Ascending the wheelchair ramp or the unique flight of stairs brings you to the large, partially shaded deck – a place to barbecue, dine outdoors, and soak up the summer sun with a view of the surrounding woods.

Inside, the home is spread out across multiple levels. The main living space features a great room with two sofas and a wood-burning fireplace, a fully appointed kitchen with two eat-in tables, and a door that leads outside to the deck. Cozy up to the fire with a blanket and a good book while supper is cooking. Ascending up half a flight of stairs is the sitting room – a great place to watch TV, log onto the WiFi and catch up on a bit of work, or set up a board game at night. The basement features a Ping-Pong table for hours of evening entertainment as well. There is a VAST SNOWMOBILE system in the neighborhood, Appalachian Trail 6.8 miles, and Manchester shops 27 miles.

After a day spent hiking, skiing/snowmobiling, or kayaking (with two kayaks and life jackets provided), you'll find three of the bedrooms on the main floor, including a primary suite with A/C, a private bathroom, and its own back deck. The fourth bedroom is upstairs offering its own bathroom, balcony, and A/C as well.

Great location! Clean and lots of space. We had an easy drive back and forth to ski at Mt. Snow. Although at times the cell service in that area has patches of no service. Regardless, we were all very comfortable and enjoyed ourselves.

The house was really cosy and clean. The only thing I would mention is that the heating in the house is a little weird, and the rooms get pretty cold at night (but that might just be me - some people love it cold while they sleep) unless you have the doors open to the hallway, where the main heater is. Otherwise a great property for our stay.

What a great house for a relaxing getaway!

The house was SPOTLESS. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the basics for cooking (spices, oil, etc.). I rent a lot of vacation homes and this was one of the most comfortable ever. Everything was easy to find, light switches were labeled, instructions simple and easy to follow. We loved the private setting with a nice deck. Highly recommend!

Very secluded

We enjoyed our stay but the home is isolated for shopping or activities that are not ski-related. We had to drive 45 min for grocery store, and had to supply our own laundry and dishwasher supplies ( other VBROs have always supplied these basic necessities for the home) Superficially seems clean but we had to move the couch and there was trash, dirt, game pieces and food under it.. UGH! Trash can was overflowing with stinky garbage from previous guests.

Lovely, Comfortable home

This place was immaculately clean, and very spacious and bright. We loved that there were three bedrooms on the first floor, so perfect for folks who perhaps have problems with stairs. The additional sleeping area upstairs was also great, and three bathrooms made things REALLY easy. Plenty of room to spread out, too, and a nice selection of games and CDs if you're interested in those things. The beds, pillows, and linens were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied with a nice variety of gadgets and cookware. We were just there for a ladies weekend so we did not really use any of the outdoor activity options but it seems like it would be fun for families and younger folks. All in all, very happy with this place and a great value for the price.

All the unasked questions are answered!

I loved both the welcoming feeling of this house and the owner's attention to detail. Lights and fan switches were all precisely labeled. Dining and event suggestions were both in a binder and on the fridge. Clear instructions for the use of appliances were provided. Owner's manuals were provided just in case. Everything you could think of needing was there and every question you could think of asking was answered before you asked it. It was such a soothing and refreshing stay to have everything so well maintained and ordered.

Vacation during floods

The house was just as it is shown on website, which has not always been the case. Clean, comfortable and has mostly everything you would have at home. We were there when the natural disaster floods hit. Our bad luck there so most of what we planned was not possible to do. Mark did explain to my brother how to get generator going and that was very helpful to have electricity at times. Only thing would be local news access through the direct TV. We did not have internet so no ability to get information about what was happening, esp what roads were closed or open.
