Our home offers true Vermont beauty, complete privacy, and total comfort. At first arrival you get an immediate sense of peacefulness and the feeling of life slowing down. The air is clean and crisp and there's no one to bother you. We have amazing views and great trails & woods to explore.

Our home lies nestled among some of Vermont's most beautiful mountains. We are located 30 minutes from Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier. We are also close great restaurants, excellent breweries, Ben & Jerry's, and many other wonderful attractions. We take great pride in providing our guests with a memorable and reliable experience.

We are located in wooded area bordering Camel’s Hump State park and Robbins Mountain wildlife management area. We have excellent hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing from our backyard and nearby. From our driveway road is an expansive meadow with spectacular mountain views. Just down the road is a wonderful pond that offers year round recreation and beauty.

Our home is a 3-bedroom contemporary ranch with two levels. Each level offers privacy which sets up well for accommodating couples or families.

The living area is a relaxing space with a wood stove, love seat, and full couch that seats 5. The upper level is ideal for cooking and entertaining. Attached to the dining area is a deck with a table, four chairs, and a new Weber gas grill.

The lower level has two bedrooms separated by French doors. One has a queen bed and the other has a full-sized bed. The lower level also has a full bathroom and a great room with a 50 inch Sony TV with cable and a premium surround sound system. The great room has a leather reclining couch and recliner. All aspects of our home are modern and have been recently updated.

We also have a two car garage and outdoor fire pit for camp fires.

About a half a mile from our house is Gillett pond, a 200-acre pond carved by glaciers millions of years ago. The pond is a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors. It’s great for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, snowshoeing, skiing, ice skating, or just enjoying some fresh air and beautiful scenery. We have a canoe for guests to use. The pond is a short trip from the trail behind our house or from our road.

Perfect vacation house

My Son, Grandson, and I were looking for a place to getaway for a few days after Christmas. This place was perfect. The owners were easy to reach and very hospitable; the house was clean and kept nicely; and views were tremendous. Would highly recommend this for any family or group looking to enjoy some quality away time.

Relaxing stay surrounded by trees

My wife and I enjoyed 24 days at this quiet, secluded residence which was as advertised in its VRBO listing. The owner immediately responded to a few minor issues we had. I'll also share that the Wi-Fi and cell service were excellent.

Absolutely beautiful

We had such an amazing stay. Jeff was super communicative and easy to talk to (we came around the flooding so we’re unsure how the roads etc would be). The house was immaculately clean and had everything you could ever need and more. Quiet, peaceful and all around great. My kids are the toughest critics and declared it to be amazing. Would absolutely stay again. I cannot recommend this house enough!

Relaxing stay!

We had such an enjoyable, relaxed stay at Jeff’s property for the month of August. Very quiet area, beautiful views from the large deck, and the gas grill was an added bonus for us! The house was well-stocked with linens and kitchenware, cozy furniture, and such comfortable beds! Since we were staying so long, we were very happy with the washer and dryer in the house. During our stay, we did have one question for Jeff and he replied right away. Convenient to the Richmond Market, local restaurants, the Huntington River, Ben & Jerry’s, and Stowe. Highly recommended for couples or extended family getaways.

We are blessed to have found such a beautiful place to live and look forward to sharing it with our guests. Thank you for considering staying with us.
