Rustic Cabin on Private Pond in Stratton Vermont Close to Stratton Ski Area

This cozy Cabin on Private Pond is available for rental all year round.

The Cole Cabin is located in the town of Stratton next to a private three quarters of an acre pond at 1700 feet on a quiet picturesque dead-end dirt road just below the Stratton Mountain ski resort, which is roughly one and one-half miles away. It sits on property and shares a driveway with the Cole House (also listed on VRBO).

Rustic & Comfortable.
Warm and friendly, this is a cozy dwelling, comfortably furnished.

The one-person stand-up kitchen has a stainless steel sink, dishwasher, smooth-top electric range, coffee-maker, microwave, toaster and a refrigerator. The log living room has a view of the pond and is cheered by a brick fireplace with an Avalon wood burning fireplace insert. Gas heat is available when needed. For dining, there is a locally made free form pine slab table.

There are two bathrooms in the cabin, one in the master bedroom and one in back of the fireplace with a shower big enough to hold two people. Across from the shower is a separate lavatory.

In the hallway leading from the living area to the master bedroom are two double-sized bunks. The master bedroom with a queen bed has its own bath with shower. Upstairs are games and a TV with DVD player. The Cole Cabin is provided with a wired access point that provides wireless or wired high-speed internet service. There is also a DVD player and cable TV.

Note for summer guests: The Cole Cabin does not have air conditioning, but is rather like an old fashioned summer place (though it is a year-round insulated house), and has fans including a bedroom ceiling fan. The evenings in Vermont tend to drop down into the fifties or low 60s during the summer. In front of the Cabin is a patio facing the pond. The patio has a table, adirondack chairs and a propane fired grill for barbecuing.

Note for Winter Guests: This a year-round fully insulated dwelling. Rent the cabin for a month, for the season or for a holiday week.

A Private Pond.
Summer:
The three quarter acre country pond offers refreshing swimming and recreation. In the summer, a rowboat is provided for fun. The grassy banks of the pond provide safe and easy entry into the water; it is a great place to enjoy the sun on a hot day. A screened gazebo graces the far shore.

Winter:
During the winter, the pond can be used for skating. The land around the cabin is available for snow shoeing and cross country skiing.

The cabin is still available for Nov-February for the 2024 - 25 ski season.

Lots to Do Nearby.
For a good hike, you can take the Long Trail which winds it way through the back of Stratton Mountain. From the cabin, it is a pleasant hike or a short drive to a waterfall at Pikes Falls, a beautiful rocky place for diving, sun bathing and hiking as well as a cool dip. The water is very cold even in the late August. Within a few miles, up at the Stratton ski area or down in the valley, are good eating places. There are country auctions, fairs, antiques and within a half an hour's drive, concerts and summer theatre in Weston and Dorset.

Rental Details:
The Cabin can be rented most of the time. If you are interested in renting the Cole Cabin for more than a month, contact the owner for a special discounted rate. The Cole Cabin can also be rented for the ski season or partial ski season. The minimum rental is five nights and this Winter it is still available for November-February.
