The view from the front deck (like that from the loft) encompasses the Worcester range of mountains, including Mt. Elmore. The mountain view is close to 180 degrees. In the foreground is a large open meadow -- great for bird-watching. We often have visits from deer as well and have even seen moose!
The back deck has mountain views to the northeast. And you can enjoy our small waterfall and pond with goldfish and frogs surrounded by a private stone patio or practice fly fishing in our trout stocked front pond. During mild weather there is a table and six chairs to enjoy a quiet lunch or breakfast in the shade.
The furnishings are new, comfortable, and tasteful -- in a country style. On the walls hang the works of a number of Vermont artists.
Please give us a call or drop us an e-mail. We will be happy to share our little piece of Vermont with you! Below are a few excerpts from our guest book. We will be happy to provide references upon request.
12-24-1999: My family and I have been on many different vacations and stayed at many different homes and condos, but I must admit that none could even compare to your warm and beautiful home...
2-27-2000: . . . We've been coming to Vermont for ten years and this is the best house that have rented yet. Hope to come back again.
5-20-2000: This was our first time in Vermont. The scenery here is magnificent, and your house is so beautiful. It felt like home the moment we arrived.
7-18-2000: We have vacationed in the Stowe area for years -- winter and summer. This lovely home rivals the Von Trappe Lodge for beauty and comfort. The deck was the perfect spot to enjoy the colors of the sunset reflect on the passing clouds over the mountain range...
3-18-2001: . . .you have a beautiful home.
It is perfectly situated for our family. My parents, my sister and her husband, my husband, and I, and our 8 month old daughter . . .
