About this property

Romantic Retreat: Mt. Views, Hot Tub, Movie Theater

Located in the heart of the Green Mountains on ten acres. Mountain views and remote feel, but only 20 minutes from Warren/Waitsfield area or 10 minutes to Rochester. Ski or snowshoe out the back door or cozy up and watch movies on home theater with over 200 movies. Architect designed and built, with all the modern amenities, but done in classic cabin style. Enjoy walking on site or hiking the nearby Long Trail, then a relaxing hot tub under the stars. 15 mins to Middlebury Snow Bowl, 20 mins to Sugarbush, 30 mins to Mad River Glen or 45 mins to Killington. Great swimming, kayaking, etc. nearby, too. Perfect any season!

NOTE: Pets are allowed, but there is a $30 fee for the additional cleaning and wear. Please check the box on your reservation request or contact the owner. We also ask that you pick up any land mines and keep them from barking excessively.

WINTER 4wd Car recommendation: It is recommended that you have a 4wd car or truck in the winter AND good SNOW TIRES. "All-season" tires are useless in the fresh snow, especially on the hills. The town is very good about plowing, but the hills can be tricky during snow storms and many people have had to get towed. A sand barrel is provided by the driveway for when extra traction may be needed.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING TRAVEL INSURANCE. If you are prevented from taking your trip because of a covered reason, such as a sickness or injury of yourself or a family member, Travel Protection can help reimburse 100% of your prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs that you would otherwise lose when you cancel.

NOISE: Although the cabin is very private and other homes may not be visible from there, sound travels a long distance. We ask that our guests be courteous and not play loud music, especially at night. We are fortunate to have great neighbors and want to keep it that way!

SIZE LIMITATIONS: The cabin is 850 sq ft. so not designed for large groups. We have a FIVE person maximum. It is one large space downstairs and two separate bedrooms above. It has a much larger feel than it's size indicates however, due to a two story loft above. There is also a generously sized mud room/entry with a heated floor to dry out ski boots and stow gear. It is therefore best suited for couples or small families who are looking for a well designed and appointed quality cabin. Anyone looking for a traditional Vermont experience will certainly enjoy the areas offerings and the warmth and intimacy provided in the cabin, but large parties are not allowed.

CAMERAS: We have a pair of "Ring" video cameras which overlook the "public" exterior and give us piece of mind if cabin sits empty for extended periods. It also serves as a means to contact us in the event codes/keys are forgotten, etc. As is the law, there are NO interior cameras or any in private exterior areas (hot tub, porch, patio, etc.). We respect your privacy and will provide an image of what is in their field of view upon request.

Cozy Getaway
We loved our stay! The cabin is cozy and filled with everything you could need. LOVED the hot tub and surrounding property—so much to explore. The kitchen is well stocked and any of our questions were answered by the provided guest book/signage. We would love to stay again.

Early spring getaway
Took a ride up for a nice little retreat and for my wife’s bday, such a treat! Jeff even stopped by with some wine as a gift, since I had mentioned it when booking. The space is super cozy and functional, and the hot tub was great way to relax at the end of the day. The gas fireplace gets things nice and warm, too! It had been a while since I personally visited this area of Vermont, super beautiful and remote, but still not too long of a drive to several areas of interest. Looking forward to going back!

Perfect again
It was a delight to be back! The cabin was as cozy and perfect as we remembered, with everything we needed for a long weekend. The kids enjoyed sledding, building a fire, the hot tub, and a Harry Potter dual feature on the projector, among many other activities. We will be back soon!

Peaceful Getaway: Second Time Visiting
This cabin couldn't be cozier! It really lives up to its name as a "romantic retreat". The window seat is perfect for a sunny afternoon nap or to curl up with a book and some cocoa by the warmth of the fire. Mornings are beautiful as the sun shines dappled light in the trees. So peaceful. The surround sound is also great, we connected our phone via bluetooth and the music enhanced the cozy ambiance. We enjoyed a walk on the little trail in the back, stargazing in the hot tub, and snuggling up to watch a movie on the projector screen. The DVD list is extensive and full of great titles. The hosts are also great communicators and respond promptly. Can't say enough good things about this place. It feels lucky, I cant really explain it-- it just has the best vibes! I will reiterate that good winter tires/all wheel drive are necessary. The road is steep, and muddy this time of year. Overall, amazing stay!

The cabin was amazing, the design and decor is perfect and the space is perfect.

Amazing Honeymoon Getaway
We had a wonderful time at Jeff’s cabin. Hot tub soaks under the stars was the perfect way to spend the week after our wedding. Jeff was an amazing host and even left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate. The area was stunning and we enjoyed the local hiking trails. We would definitely recommend Jeff’s place!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

Host profile image
Jeff is a Boston area architect/contractor from Concord, MA. He designed and restored the cabin on his own, working weekends for three years. Initially, his wife was reluctant to tackle such a project, but now done, she is the cabin's biggest fan. Designed and built for his family, Jeff has left no detail undone and enjoys sharing their home here with others.

Why they chose this property

This part of Vermont is close to Boston (less than 3 hours), yet far enough to be in the heart of the pristine Green Mountains. Jeff has been coming to this area since the mid 1970's and dreamed of having a retreat here for 35 years. Skiing is only 15-30 minutes away (4 resorts), and several romantic villages are nearby, giving endless options to explore and enjoy. Being on 10 acres and in Granville, it is also very private and peaceful. Often we just spend the weekend there, relaxing and basking in the cabin's great light and warmth.

What makes this property unique

Although the existing cabin was in sad repair, Jeff saw the potential, and had the vision, tools and skills to make it happen. It is now our favorite place to be and we have established many great relationships there. It is a very active and engaging community, which we love being a part of and welcome others to share in, too!
