Hoot Owl Hollow
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Looking for something unique and truly out of this world? Then, look no further than this two-level home known as 'Hoot Owl Hollow.' This secluded, quiet haven is a unique work of art built by the owner's eclectic parents in the 70s and 80s. You will love this home’s wonderful character and stunning natural surroundings during your stay, along with being only a short driving distance from all the local attractions the Brattleboro and Wilmington areas have to offer. The prime location allows you to hear the peepers and the owls at night as you watch the fireflies and falling stars by the outdoor fireplace or from the front porch.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the two living rooms as well as the large decks off the bedrooms allow for great wildlife watching around the two big ponds. The sunken living room will be right upon entering the home and is furnished with comfortable sofas, offering a great spot to unwind as soon as you arrive. Play some tunes on the provided turntable or stereo. The second and main living room oozes a homey feeling, and the brick wall adds a rustic touch to it. Guests will find a wood stove, smart TV, and board games. Right off of the living area is the elegant dining table providing enough space for up to six guests. The spacious and open kitchen is the most unique and quaint space you will ever see. A classic brick furnace hosts a stovetop along with several utensils. There is a double-door fridge, a built-in double oven, an electric oven, a dishwasher, a coffee maker, a microwave, and a center island with a sink. There is a nice corner booth table ideal for family breakfasts or quick meals on the go. Both spaces are warmed by a second wood stove.
When it comes to sleeping arrangements, the first floor features one bedroom with a half bathroom. Climb the stairs that surround an in-home tree up to the second floor to find three more bedrooms. All three bedrooms have direct deck access and share a full bathroom with an in-ground soaking tub.
THINGS TO KNOW
Please do not climb the tree inside the house or meddle with the indoor well.
The stairs are uneven and in some places the ceilings are very low; tall guests will have to duck.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.
Security camera details: There are two active cameras: one located at the front door and another one located towards the driveway within the car port.
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.
