Guest Cabin-- a Mountain Get-Away for Relaxation... or Romance

**** Open late April thru October... Closed in the winter...
**** For WINTER, see our OTHER LISTING #71156. -- 'Cozy 4-season COTTAGE-- ski, swim, hike, foliage- Family Fun or Romantic Getaway...' ****

A one-room Vermont mountain Cabin one mile to picturesque Belmont Village and Star Lake, and 6 miles to Okemo Resort and Ludlow. Enjoy this guest cabin on a knoll above our home, with a deck overlooking Star Lake, meadows, mountain vistas and spectacular sunsets. Sleeps 1 or 2 guests (Queen); completely renovated with new, modern kitchenette and bath. A beautiful mountain get-away, yet close to activities.

Nearby to mountain lakes - swim, fish, boat rentals. Central to sightseeing, golf, tennis, horseback riding, hiking, biking; near historic Weston Playhouse and Weston Priory. Surrounded by Vermont forests and autumn foliage.

We are in the heart of the Green Mountains between Killington and Stratton/Bromley. We have beautiful (spectacular!!) views off to the west and northwest (great sunsets). The cabin sits on a hill, at the edge of a pasture, at 2100 feet above sea level and overlooks a lake and mountains beyond.

Share our corner of Vermont paradise, surrounded by 100 acres of our land, and hundreds more acres of friends, family and the State of Vermont. We have our own trail network for hiking, and there's lots of other hiking all around the town and local area.

Although nestled away in the hills of Vermont, our cabin is in the heart of the Vermont ski and tourist area so there are lots of restaurants, shops, and activities within 5 to 10 miles.

NO SMOKING
DOGS allowed with permission; please inquire when booking.
$90 Pet Fee. (sorry, NO CATS)

NOTE – no TV, so enjoy a real get-away vacation :) ... tho the cabin does have hi-speed internet :):) and a radio/CD player.

Available late April thru October

For WINTER rentals see our ski cottage, VRBO #71156, or call/email for more info.

The cabin is in an idyllic setting. I don't have the vocabulary to properly describe the location and the surrounding area. The host was helpful, generous and gracious. I highly recommend both the location and the cabin.

Lovely view and setting

We highly recommend Ron and Dotty's rental cabin. The view of the mountains and lake meant we didn't have to go anywhere for a beautiful view. The cabin provides everything you could need and perfect for two people. We will definitely be back.

Quiet cabin

This was exactly as advertised- a quiet cabin in a lovely setting. It was perfect for relaxing but still keeping connected thanks to the great wi-fi. The location was centrally located for hiking and visiting a smattering of New England towns.

Literally the BEST place I've ever stayed in (IN THE WORLD!)

If you're looking for a scenic place in which to say, this is DEFINITELY your place! Ron was an absolutely AMAZING host who not only made check-in amazingly easy, but the accommodations were phenomenal. He also sent us a VERY comprehensive list of activities to do around the area. We will most definitely be returning to stay there! Thank you Ron and Dottie for making this such a special stay!

Repeat Guests

We gifted my parents a few night stay at Ron's property. They have been there a couple of times before and absolutely love this little home away from home. Ron is amazingly communicative, keeps the house clean, and offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property is stunning and we'd highly recommend this rental!

My husband, our dog, and I loved our stay with Ron and Dottie. The listing is just like the pictures however the views are better in person than any picture could capture. Ron and Dottie were lovely to chat with and we look forward to staying again for leaf peeping! Did not leave without rebooking! Totally recommend if looking for off the beaten path and peaceful!

Rustic, cute cabin in the woods. Excellent view of Vermont Green Mountains and rural countryside. 17 minutes from Ludlow! Owner is very responsive to questions and provided information about the area! There are steps going up a hill as well as as the ones pictured in the picture of the cabin.

This is as close to a tree house as I will ever stay in and it exceeded my expectations. What I did not expect were the brilliant sunsets! There was quiet for reading and suggestions for walks and hikes in a welcome notebook. This was a last minute booking and my questions were quickly answered so I had a better idea what to bring. There's a full supermarket a few miles away where you can buy what you need to prepare meals or there are a variety of restaurants. The hosts home is on the property so for a very senior citizen that was good news and I was able to relax and enjoy Vermont I do hope to return next year.
Stunning sunset every night!

IDEAL Personal Getaway - SO relaxing

Ron & Dottie's cabin is a fabulous personal retreat space. Comfortable, beautifully furnished, and in a setting that offers inspiring views and a peaceful environment in every direction. I got to experience almost every kind of weather (except snow) during my week there and the cabin was always cozy. My dog and I also greatly enjoyed all the wonderful outdoor space to ramble through on the property. We never saw "the moose" but we saw lots of signs! One small detail, that wasn't really an issue for me: if access to Verizon cell service or wireless internet is important for you to have inside the cabin, you may be a bit frustrated. I could only get the wireless reliably from the corner of the deck. You can get Verizon cell service reliably out in front of the Belmont store (~1 mile away) However you will probably find, as I did, that the appeal of electronic connectedness pales in comparison to the charms of this lovely cabin in a gorgeous setting.

Andrea, thanks for the wonderful comment....and we've decided that we need to upgrade our wireless connection. I think the new tree growth is now blocking the signal !!! For your next visit we'll have full power :) Best, Ron

Cutest, quietest place ever :)

We had such a great time here. It’s so quiet and gorgeous but close enough to every outing you could imagine to encapsulate vermont. It’s of course perfect for just staying in a doing a puzzle or playing games too :) the hosts were super nice as well! 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful stay

We stayed in Belmont for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cabin was a nice size for two people. We had our two small dogs with us and they loved walking in the fields. The views of Salt Lake and the Green Mountains was marvelous. The cabin is at the top of the hill so there are some steps provided to help with that climb. Lovely stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Unterman

Host profile image

My wife and I are retired and live full time in Belmont. This guest cabin sits on a knoll above our house. Come visit us in our little corner of paradise :)

Why they chose this property

Ron's family began coming to Belmont for summers in 1956 and his parents moved here full-time from New York City in 1970. As a teenager Ron worked on a local farm and the family came up to Belmont for every vacation, all year 'round. Ron and Dottie moved here full-time in 2001 and enjoy all of Vermont's seasons -- You will too :)

What makes this property unique

We are in the heart of the Green Mountains between Killington and Stratton/Bromley, and minutes to Okemo. We have beautiful (spectacular!!) views off to the west and northwest (great sunsets). Our cabin sits on a knoll at 2100 feet above sea level and overlooks a lake with a 75 mile view across the mountains of Vermont and into New York State (we see the highest mountain in NY). We are one mile from Star Lake which has a beach and boat access. The cabin is very private being surrounded by 100 acres of our land, and hundreds more acres of friends, family and the State of Vermont. We have our own trail network for hiking, snowshoeing and xc skiing, and there's lots of other hiking all around the town and local area. On our land across the road from the cottage there are four beaver ponds that string along a brook that runs into Star Lake.

..... and we have a moose that visits every now and then [EMAIL us for this picture and many others].

Although private, this cabin is in the heart of the Vermont ski and tourist area so there are lots of restaurants, shops, and activities within 5 to 10 miles (Mt. Holly, Ludlow, Weston, etc.)
