This is in a very private and quiet location with beautiful views of the valley.

You may spend your days swimming, boating, hiking and touring in summer or simply resting in the beautiful setting. In winter you may choose to spend your day outdoors and then curl up by the fire and watch TV or read a book. Nightlife is available as well.

Local attractions include some of New England's loveliest towns. There are 7 nearby ski areas. Ski a family area or an awesome mountain. All Vermont is within a 2 hour drive. Shopping in the Manchester Village outlets just 60 minutes away.

The 70 acre property is located on the west bank of the wide and deep Connecticut River. The river is controlled by dams and is very calm and also very clean and warm for swimming. Our large and secluded private dock is a 3 minute walk down the driveway from this property. We provide canoes, a rowboat and several tubes for fishing and frolicking on the river. For those of you who might prefer not to swim with the fishes, we have a large in ground pool.

You will find that the charming country lane which runs along the riverbank is a perfect place for walking or bicycling.

There is very little traffic on the river road and only slightly more on nearby Route 5 so cycling, skating, walking, and jogging are safe for young and old. We have an assortment of elderly bicycles which you may use if you choose not to bring your own. We even have helmets. Excellent hiking is available at Ascutney State Park just a few miles away.

Our stay in the Christmas Cottage was wonderful. Our family included myself, my grown daughter, my 81 year old mom, and our dog. The cottage suited all of us beautifully. The foliage, views, and hospitality was spectacular. It was quiet, close enough to drive to other towns. Even a shopping trip for my daughter to Manchester outlets was only 45 minutes away. My mom enjoyed feeding the chickens. There were many craft fairs going on in neighboring towns that we visited. The Connecticut River Valley was just gorgeous. And Peter gave us a wonderful tour of his historic home. The house was lucky to get Peter and Sandra as homeowners, as they have restored it magnificently. I hate to tell too many people about this special place, because we surely want to return again soon. Maybe even venture up to pick out that special Christmas tree that my mom has her eye on!

My family and I spent a week at the Christmas Cottage and had a wonderful time. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The weather was beautiful! There was plenty of room for the 6 of us (4 adults, 2 children). The house was clean and had everything you would need. The location was ideal, on the beautiful Connecticut River, and the views of the Vermont countryside and rows of Christmas tress from the cottage was picture perfect. My daughter had the best time fishing with her granddad off their pier, and canoeing with dad on the river. The owners Sandra & Peter, were really great, making sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much!

I took my wife, two small kids and mom here for the week and all of us, all ages, really found something to love. It's been newly redone and we were only the third guests to stay since the new addition was added on. It's a very relaxed, comfortable, open layout that suited us very well.

The kids loved chasing the chickens and getting up close to the alpacas and goats. We also went tubing, fishing and canoeing on the adjacent Connecticut River and had a blast. But for us the highlight was probably our son learning to ride a bike without training wheels. The street and property are so quiet and open he had plenty of room to practice his new skill, which he mastered on an old bike we found in the barn. The owner, Peter, who is the consummate gentlemen and very helpful with tips about activities, insisted we take the bike home with us as a remembrance of that moment.

Although the farm really feels "away from it all," there are a lot of fun things to do within an hour's drive from here. The kids loved the Montshire Museum of science, which is made for children and extremely well done. We also visited Hanover, home of Dartmouth, Woodstock, home of Billings Farm, and hiked down to Quichee Gorge which I'd highly recommend.

All in all, a great and unique experience. We wanted a relaxing week somewhere rustic, and we got it. You'll enjoy this place.

Hi, my name is Lacey I am 12 years old and I live in NJ. I enjoyed my stay at the cottage very much. The house was very cute, it has one full bed, a couch that has a pullout bed so two people can sleep. The cutest little kitchen, a nice size bathroom, and a flat screen TV. There is a little house next to the cottage that Peter built with a little porch. Inside there is a couch, TV, and a ladder to go up to the small loft where there are two twin beds. It would have been fun to stay in there. Also they have different kinds of animals that you can feed and pet, I really enjoyed that. I even got a chicken named after me, now how cool is that! The main owner’s house on the property was built in the late 1700’s and was owned by Lewis R, Morris that’s where Peter and Sandra live. They where nice enough to give me a tour and tell me about the history about the house. They where very nice, and helpful with information on things to do and places to visit. One of my favorite things was getting a great cup of hot coco, ask them about that. I really enjoyed my stay, and maybe we’ll get to come back. I hope the next tenants enjoy their stay also. :)

Dear Peter and Sandra,

Please accept our apologies for the lateness of this note. We have savored and shared our fond memories of our visit with you every day since we departed. From the moment we arrived at the farm we felt as if we were honored guest that you had known for a long. We never sensed that we were viewed as outsiders, but rather as part of the family.

Our every request was acted upon immediately. As a matter of fact you two, Charles and Tim seemed to continually be looking for ways to make our stay more pleasant without any request from us. Your generous hospitality was overwhelming!

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome in the cottage. Our hosts, Peter and Sandra, had already provided everything to make us comfortable and at ease. The facilities were exactly as described, but there were also thoughtfully provided extras to add the personal touch.
The area offers many opportunities for a wide range of daytime activities, as most other reviewers indicate. It also provides for those keen on astronomy: nighttime light pollution is very low in this part of the valley.
We had an excellent week.

A Most Beautiful Setting

My vacation at Christmas Trees of Vermont was wonderful in every respect. All of my needs were immediately met by the gracious Mollica family. The setting is perfect for a Vermont getaway as I was surrounded by 1000's of Fraser fir trees & an orchard with apples, plums and pears.The friendly goats Jingle and Bell as well as the chickens added a special touch of the country life to my stay. Being accross the road from the Connecticut River was a bonus. Staying at the adorable Christmas Cottage is like walking back into history as it is furnished with lovely antiques. Everything was immpeccably clean and I would highly vacationing at CT of V for an authentic back to nature Vermont experience.

We loved our week at the Christmas Cottage. It was perfect for the two of us. The cottage is quite small and would probably be uncomfortable for more than a couple. We loved roaming around the farm, feeding the roosters every evening, and drifting on the Connecticut River on the farm's canoe. Peter and Sandra are wonderful hosts who did everything possible to make us feel right at home!
