Photos and Description of the Wells vacation chalet rental 3BR/3BA/Sleeps 2 to 10

The perfect country retreat. Vermont's famous fresh air from the 20 acres of tranquil woodlands and trails surrounding this spacious, comfortable, cheery country house. Picture windows and a wrap-around deck look over Hidden Valley's miles of hills, fields and streams into the next state. With 3600 square feet of living space, the house offers several gathering areas, including two separate living rooms, a game table area, a dining area and a sociable kitchen. Marvelous for retreats, reunions, family gatherings, writers and artists. Great for three couples, one per floor. Furnished down to the cookbooks. There are games galore, hundreds of well-chosen books and over 200 movies on video. Artisan stonemason Simon Shultz created magnificent two-story stone columns that support the outside deck and, at the heart of the chalet, a spectacular three-story stone core with two fireplaces. A charming spiral staircase connects all three floors.

Vermont get away

Noodles081 Queens, NY
Review Submitted: January 29, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
Awesome view! The house sits at the top of a huge hill, and has a couple of massive windows, which let in the view of a beautiful sky, and amazing mountains!
When they say "comfortably fits 12" they were being honest. The house is huge. I will definitely be revisiting this home again. Although the house is a little difficult to get to in the middle of the night, it's all worth it. Close to anything you could need, and far enough to feel that you got away from it all.
Owner's Response: We couldn't have said it better. The house -- and view -- works happily for groups and for honeymooners. Its country lane has no street lights but we'll leave the lights on for you if you arrive after dark ... and we're getting a reflective sign.

Quiet Fall Retreat--Kids And Dog Welcome

Party of 5 Wrentham, Ma USA
Review Submitted: December 19, 2007 Date of Stay: October 2007
Wonderful Views, Very Quiet Yet Close To Many Fun Things To Do. The Chalet Was Spacious With Two Family Rooms Which Were Great For The Kids..Well Stocked Kitchen And Lots Of Videos And Books. Even Though This Was A Holiday Weekend During Foliage Season We Felt We Were Miles Away For Traffic And Congestion. I Highly Recommend This Home, And The Owners Were Great To Deal With. See Our Family Plus Our Dog On Their Website.
Owner's Response: We love working with our wonderful guests and especially when they use all the amenities and appreciate the chalet and spectacular views, as you did.
