COLE MOUNTAIN CABIN

Owning a piece of the Kingdom means everything to us. It's a source of pride for us, having built most of it ourselves. But so much more than that, is the simplicity it now brings us, a chance to slow down, savor and reflect. It brings us closer to nature, to each other as a couple and to ourselves as individuals. It's a journey back to a less complicated, less noisy and less demanding time of life. The local people are kind and thoughtful. The pace slows down. And as one brochure says, 'The Northeast Kingdom is a place where you can do everything or do nothing.' We like having that choice. We can be gliding on a kayak, watching a sunset or screaming down a water slide. We can hike a mountain trail, watch ice climbing on Pisgah cliffs or gaze into our bonfire. It's all here.

Hmmm...unique features? Where do we start? The long driveway back into the woods and the silence of early morning. The moose tracks deep in the snow and the summer songbirds. The snowshoe path into the woods that leads you to the expansive hilltop country golf course and mountain views to the north and west. Inside it's the vaulted pine ceilings and salvaged Victorian windows on interior walls, exposing more light and pine. The craigslist finds like all the long windows and the spiral staircase. The glow of the 'woodstove' flames and swinging of the hammock. The simplicity and the quiet. Ah....
