Charming East Dorset Getaway

This house is situated in the town where the Battenkill River forms. With its spectacular backdrop, the Battenkill is one of Vermont's best known rivers.

Our house has historic significance as the town's first General store. House provides a beautiful setting in this quaint town as we are surrounded by spectacular views of the Taconic and Green Mountains.

This old house has been recently renovated and lies directly across the street from the renowned Wilson House. In our home you will find informative pictures (photos taken in the late 1800's and early 1900's) and documents (i.e. original blue prints, store ledgers) that enlighten guests to the building's notable past.

Adding to the charm and authenticity/history of the General Store ‐ which at one time had its own train stop ‐ there will be the occasional train (Vermont Rail) coming through town a couple times a day.

Other things to note:
John will greet you with a warm welcome upon arrival; provide you with a space overview, discuss the area and local events, furnish you with a key, local maps and applicable literature for your stay.

East Dorset is a charming, quiet and old fashioned town that lends itself to hiking, biking, fishing, skiing or just plain relaxing. This pretty venue is sandwiched between the Taconic and Green Mountains and so offers impressive views.

The East Dorset General Store is just steps away from the house for snacks and supplies. Retail outlets, a variety of restaurants and serious theater are less than 10 minutes away. Bromley and Stratton ski resorts are in close proximity by just 20 and 30 minutes respectively from our location.
