THE PROPERTY
Step outside to explore 22 acres of private ponds, streams, and forest. Guests are welcome to use the canoes, tandem kayak, and kid-sized kayaks to paddle the ponds. Trails wind through the property, leading to small waterfalls and peaceful streams.
In the spring, summer, and fall, watch for beavers, otters, frogs, fish, and birds that share our land! In the winter, you can access the VAST snowmobiling network directly from the property, or snowshoe right outside the door.
OTHER INFO:
- Solar-powered with Tesla Powerwall backup that can power the house in case of an outage, central air, and radiant and propane heat.
- All bedrooms include ceiling fans, dressers, and closets.
- In addition to two spaces in the garage, there is plenty of parking in the driveway. Self check-in with a keypad.
- The driveway is gravel and plowed regularly, but 4WD is recommended in the winter.
- Guests use the hot tub, bunk beds, pond, and boats at their own risk. The cabins on the property are not available for guest use without authorization.

What makes this property unique
We’ve always been drawn to Vermont’s peaceful lakes, mossy forests, beautiful mountains, starry skies, and powdery snow. When we first saw the Ponder Yonder Retreat, it was love at first sight.
