Professionally cleaned after each stay and a fully stocked kitchen. There are 11 spacious bedrooms to accommodate a large family or a group of friends, and sleeps up to 30 people very comfortably.

The internet is extremely fast, 500mbps down and 300mbps up, making this property a great work-from-home retreat!

The Space

The house brings the best of rustic interior with modern features and designs. The beds have fresh linens, and the bathrooms are stocked with plenty of towels and paper products to ensure you have the things you need for your stay.

Outside is a pool which is amazing for those who stay during the summer months, and a hot tub with a view that will take your breath away is available year-round. There is also an outdoor firepit, a fun activity is to hunt for firewood in the nearby forest, then gather around and enjoy the warmth and glow of a crackling fire while sharing stories and making memories. Plenty of firewood is available as well.

The outdoor kitchen just added for those who love to cook and enjoy with friends and family. (pictures coming soon)

The family room on the main floor is great for movies and family fun, it has an open space concept design, a great fireplace that will keep everyone nice and toasty during the colder nights.

The guest/game house has three bedrooms and two and half bath on the second floor, and the game room is on the first floor.(please note pictures of guest/game house are coming soon).

You can enjoy privacy off the main road with a well-groomed landscape and eye-catching mountain views of Vermont. It’s perfect for family and friends looking to enjoy a seasonal retreat in a country home.

The rural estate is perfect for winter sport enthusiast, summer adventurers, and autumn lovers. The open concept main level features a large kitchen and dining area for group eating. The spacious common area offers comfy couches, a big fireplace to warm up to, TV for entertainment, and huge windows with plenty of natural light. The whole house has wood panel walls and decorations to give a mountain cabin ambiance.

The lower-level family room features a big couch, and tv for comfortable relaxation and entertainment. There are also three bedrooms, one is good for some solitude, while another has amazing bunk beds that kids just love. The house is equipped with smart TV’s for easy connecting along with great Wi-Fi for all devices. The front has a covered front porch with rocking chairs for relaxing amidst mountain views. Enjoy the breathtaking foliage in the fall as you witness Vermont’s countryside in its full festive colors.

There is plenty of parking on the driveway and there is a paved section of the driveway with a basketball hoop that’s ready for game time. The outdoor patio is perfect to enjoy the summer weather, garden atmosphere, outdoor BBQ’s, and stargazing. The well-groomed yard is great for activities such as volleyball, horseshoes, bocce, and sledding. There are miles of trials for nature walks and hiking.

The Perfect Day

In the winter, wake up early to hit the slopes, come back to the house to eat lunch and warm up by the fireplace, then head over to the Windham Hill Inn for fine dining of the best seasonal cuisine like cider Brined Pork Chop, at night relax as a group with a movie and some popcorn.

For the Summer or Fall, sharpen your golf game at the Tater Hill Golf Club, enjoy a lunch and a cocktail at their clubhouse restaurant, take a late-afternoon hike on a picturesque trail, and finally enjoy an outdoor BBQ during the sunset with a fun yard game.

Don’t forget to cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool! The views are absolutely breathtaking, a real treat for summer guests and something you will look forward to every day! In between swims, hunt for firewood in the forest and pile it up next to the outdoor firepit, ready to burn as the sun sets.

At the end of the day, soak those muscles in the hot tub, and gather around the fire with your favorite beverage, and a good book, unless there is a lively conversation to be had. A real treat is to watch the sunset while in the arms of a loved one, with a drink to keep you warm.

Then it is time for bed, and a great night’s sleep so you will wake up refreshed and relaxed for the next day of amazing Vermont fun!

The Neighborhood

Windham is a small, historical town with a warm, local atmosphere. There are plenty of stores within minutes of driving for all of your supplies and groceries. Experience farm-to-table dining at cozy inns and restaurants, as well.

If you like to cook, locally owned and operated farms provide the freshest produce, eggs, meats, cheeses, and baked goods. The eggs are a special delight, their golden yellow yolks are perfect for making omelets or boiled and cut up in a salad. You can pair your food selections with local wines and beers, which can be purchased either directly from the wineries and breweries, or in any number of shops and stores.

For guests saying during the warmer months, the berry picking (June to October) is also very popular, as is fishing in the lakes and rivers, or you can go boating, rafting, and tubing. The swimming pool is open from the end of May to the end of September, the actual dates depends on weather.

For those who love to fish, the lakes and rivers are stocked with trout, and there are local fish to catch as well, bass and pike to name a couple. You can fly fish, cast and reel with lures, or use live bait, whichever format you wish to choose! And in Manchester there is a fishing school which can teach you techniques to increase the chances you go home with a trophy or meal for the family.

In addition to the fishing schools, Manchester has a ton to offer: great restaurants and bars, cute shops and art galleries, and a large discount outlet mall for premier clothes and accessories at great prices. For those looking for something sportier, you can learn how to drive off-road with the Land Rover Driving Experience school, and there is a shooting school to improve your hunting and target shooting techniques. There are museums and Lincoln’s family home to visit, as well.

The VAST trails are very close to the property, perfect for a group of vacationing snowmobilers in winter, or a group that wants to hike and see Vermont’s nature up close, see it come alive in spring, or those great sounds, smells, and sights of autumn.

We hope you will love this home just as much as you love Vermont.

*Pool is open from May to October, weather permitting.

Vermont Ski Vacation
The house was very clean and checked all of the boxes with the amenities for our stay. It's a beautiful house with plenty of space for multiple families and the separate game -room house was great when the weather wasn't as good for skiing. It's about 30 min from Mt Snow and Stratton and not far from Manchester City. It was also really nice to arrive and not worry about towels, dish soap, coffee, shampoo, paper products, bedding, etc. We used a local chef that was recommended one night for dinner and she was amazing as well. Overall 5 star place.

Clean and relaxing with plenty to do Perfect for a large group
Lots of privacy, generous common space areas with places to read, relax, play games, play pool, enjoy the views and eat. A few small glitches (no batteries in TV remote or anywhere on the property and a broken Keurig) were immediately resolved. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool area. The grass/lawn was shin to knee high and in desperate need of being cut and prohibited use of the grounds beyond the pool (we brought frisbees and whiffle ball and were unable to use either)

Fun Family Winter Vacation
This is our second stay at this property and it is simply superb. The house was immaculate when we arrived. The house is both beautiful and functional for large groups. It is perfectly situated between five different ski resortss. We were able to go skiing each day and come back to a kitchen that could feed our large group all at one time and also offered the relaxation/entertainment of a hot tub, sauna, large fire place, pool table, ping pong and foosball tables, and a dart set. We used them all and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house has a new addition, a garage converted into a game room with additional bed and bath rooms. The new accommodations are even nicer than the original house. If you want to take a large group to vacation in southern Vermont I can't think of a more enjoyable place to spend your time.

Ski Weekend Retreat
Suki's property was wonderful stay. Everything was set to go and extremely clean when we arrived and the instructions were extremely clear. The property itself is located in a quiet, private area, but is still in driving distance to many ski mountains and more. We ordered take out pizza from Jake's on Friday which is about 10 minutes down the road and it was great and easy! For those concerned about any service/ wifi, it was clear and fast and we had about 20 people in the house. We were able to to bring 3 children (a 2 year old and two infants) and it was a perfect fit with space for them to sleep/ stay as well. We hadn't all gotten together since the pandemic began, so it was a great retreat where we could stay put or walk around the property in snow shoes as well. The view is amazing from the house. The kitchen was stocked with essentials (including two coffee makers-- very important for us!) and the fireplace and ample firewood was a warm welcome during a very cold/snowy January weekend for ambiance and that cozy feeling. Some of the beds were firm, but well appointed so it's more of a preference thing to be aware of. We did leave something behind by accident, but Suki was incredibly responsive and helpful as we realized it as well. Overall, our stay was impeccable and I definitely recommend for families/ friends who are framily as a quiet getaway to reconnect with each other. For this italian-american, the two fridges came in handy as well as I was in charge of food for the weekend :) Thank you, Suki, for a great weekend and your responsiveness/ help with our post-stay snafoo!
