About this property

Mountains, pond, old barn, hiking trails- quintessential Vermont

Cabin on 45 acres part of which is an active Christmas Tree Farm and the rest is wooded mountain. The property is bucolic, featuring an old barn, seasonal mountain stream and pond. Beautiful views of the Green Mountains. There is a fire pit w. plenty of wood and tongs for roasting marshmallows. Ideal for hiking, snowshoeing then relaxing by cozy new wood stove in the great room. Or relax in one of the hammocks listening to the creek meander by.
A new covered rear porch has a swing and great views of the pond , trees and mountain .
A short ride to Quaint Old Bennington and Charming Manchester. Antique stores, premium outlets, museums and skiing all within a short drive.
Please note that this is an active Christmas Tree Farm so there may be a farmer or two tending the trees while you are there- but you probably won't even notice them. #MountMeMo

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 40 years and have 4 grown children who live around the country. We live full time in Delaware, but get to the cabin as often as possible. We have used VRBO many times and enjoy the personal touches that they offer.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for some land in charming Vermont, when we came upon this slice of heaven. We are so thrilled with the cabin and the area, that we just bought the house next door. We would love to have you experience the wonderful scenery and serenity found here.

What makes this property unique

Although the cabin is compact, it is comfortable for at least 6 people. There is one bedroom (queen) and a charming, private sleeping nook off of the kitchen (double). It has a large window that looks out over the property and the night sky. Up a steep ladder there are two small areas with 3 twin bds. (Please note, that it is a steep ladder, so not suitable for small children or elderly) In addition to the refreshing outdoor "Flower shower" there is a full indoor bath w tub/shower, laundry facilities and lots of vanity counter space for your toiletries.
The kitchen area is small but we just totally upgraded it. It is well equipped- my husband likes to cook so all the utensils are there, as are serving pieces etc. The eating area seats 6 comfortably, but you may find yourself eating at the picnic table by the pond more often than not.
The wood burning stove is wonderful and the propane Fireplace in the kitchen warms the area very quickly when the house is cold
Feel free to feed the chickens vegetables (no onions or garlic) and maybe they'll reward you with an egg.
Note that this is an active Christmas Tree Farm, so there may be a farmer or two tending to the trees. But no worries you probably won't even notice them if they are there.
