The perfect getaway...for a week or two...or just a long weekend...any time of year.
Less than three hours from Boston and less than five hours from New York City...the 'Ethan Allan Express' and 'The Vermonter' (both on Amtrak) make daily runs from Penn Station to Rutland and Bellows Falls, Vermont...just in case you want to invite a few automotively challenged friends from the big city!
While there are only two 'conventional' bedrooms in this vacation home (one of which is part of a completely separate 'mother-in-law apartment' on the lower level of the house)... there is also a private queen-size sleeping loft... and one additional bedroom that we call 'the cave' because the roof of the house slopes down into it. Great sleeping for adults or children in 'the cave.' But no standing up or dancing around... unless you happen to be less than four feet tall! All of these private sleeping spaces are queen-size. There are also several not-so-private sleeping areas. Everything from twin-size built in 'sleeping nooks' to queen-size fold-out futons on frames. Plenty of room for two families or up to seven or eight couples.
The perfect size group would be one, two or three adult couples with maybe up to five or six little ones.
Our winter guests enjoy skiing at Okemo (seven miles away) or Killington, the largest ski area in the East (20 miles away). Bromley, Magic and Stratton are also well within striking distance. Cross-country skiing on prepared trails is available less than five miles from the house at Fox Run (a golf course in summer and fall), as well as on the innumerable prepared snowmobile trails that cris-cross our area. Even horse drawn sleigh rides are available.
Summer and fall vacationers have all that Vermont has to offer close at hand. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, tennis, golf, antique hunting and even Old-Time Locomotive Train rides are all nearby. Boating and fishing are all to be found on Lake Ninevah.
