About this property

Peaceful ranch retreat

Cozy ranch retreat, nestled in the heart of the green mountains on a gently sloping meadow overlooking a lovely pond. Peaceful and secluded. Watch the seasons and leaves change as you sit by the large bay window at the kitchen table. Relax after a day of hiking, biking or skiing/snowboarding or just sit and enjoy the fresh Vermont air on the covered deck with your morning tea or coffee. Next to the home enjoy a picnic pavilion with large fire pit.
House is 5 min from Weston Priory or Belmont.

The space
Amenities include wifi, console piano, large parking area, books and movies, outdoor grill, roomy, well supplied kitchen, mudroom entry with half bath, washer and dryer, comfortable furniture. The queen bedroom has its own bathroom and leads out to a living room. The other two bedrooms share a full bath and a common area. The dining room is central with beautiful views of the pond and hillside. This is a no frills home, that is very open and inviting.

Okemo ski trip

Very nice property and very good owner a little away from Okemo or skiing, which was our destination. Probably 10 miles. Does require four-wheel-drive when conditions get snowy this was the case with us as we got probably a foot of snow during our stay there they’re very good about getting the gravel road down from the driveway cleared. this is probably a distance of maybe 2 miles at most. As most Vermont gravel road there’s plenty of traction probably better than paved roads. would definitely stay again. House was fully equipped spices so there’s very little you need to bring.

I am from a family of 11 children and have 5 adult children. I live near this property and help take care of it. I moved here with my husband and then 3 children in 1983 and had 2 more children here. I feel blessed everyday waking up here and knowing this is home. I look forward to you having the opportunity to be able to experience this beautiful place on earth too! The home is older, but very clean, open and inviting.
