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.

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.

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!

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!

Nature and beauty

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.

Peaceful

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!

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.

Charming, well-equipped cabin in a scenic and peaceful corner of Vermont

My husband and I stayed for six days in mid-August in Ron's and Dottie's idyllic cabin on a hill. We enjoyed it very much. The cabin, while simple, is provided with everything one needs, in abundance. It was spotlessly clean and everything was in excellent condition. Facing west, allowing for beautiful afternoons and sunsets, the cabin has many windows, all with screens and shades, so it can be as light and breezy as one wishes inside. Outside there is a huge deck with Adirondack chairs and a picnic table. This was our favorite part... the sunsets were staggering, but we even enjoyed a summer storm. The area is lovely, with fields and woods, near the small and friendly village of Belmont (or Mechanicsville until it was renamed in the early 20th century); and the cabin is set well back from a little-traveled road. It is deliciously quiet. A thick folder put together by Ron and Dottie has tons of information on the area, including menus and maps, and suggestions of pertinent websites to follow up on. Ron was extremely friendly and helpful. He was on call for any questions, easy to contact, and very nice!, going out of his way, for example, to help us find a hike on our last day, and answering all questions (including a couple of unnecessary ones due to not having read the folder) with cheerful patience. He and Dottie gave us delicious large summer squash from their garden. All in all we felt most welcome in a relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time enjoying total privacy. We hope to return. Highly recommended!

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.

Magnificent Experience

It was pleasure meeting Ron and Dottie. They’re wonderful couple. To be honest, our experience was so vibrant and delightful that we didn’t even wanna leave the beautiful and serene atmosphere around the cabin and even around the nearby towns. Especially, if like stargazing, the night sky will make you excited and exuberant. Thank you so much for wonderful experience, Ron and Dottie.

This sweet spot in the mountains of Vermont is pure magic. The cabin is clean, extremely well appointed and had everything that we needed for our stay.

Beautiful and relaxing stay..

We stayed at this cabin for 3 nights. Enjoyed every minute. The view and property are absolutely stunning! The hosts Ron and Dottie were very welcoming and personable. The rustic cabin is quaint, very clean and well equipped for everything you need for a low-key relaxing stay. Close to Okema, great stores and restaurants. Our black lab loved it too!!

Perfectly Peaceful

My husband and I enjoyed this beautiful, quiet, peaceful setting. Sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the deck looking out at the lake and mountains was our favorite! We enjoyed playing games on the picnic table in the sunshine. The kitchen was well-equipped…we brought our groceries and made all of our meals in the cabin. The farm fresh eggs from the owner were a bonus! I highly recommend for a serene get-away. We hope to celebrate another anniversary here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Unterman

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.)
