Looking for the perfect getaway...perhaps for a week or two...or maybe just a long weekend...any time of year?
Our vacation home in Vermont may be just what you are searching for!
We are less than three hours from Boston...
...and less than five hours from New York City...(it should be noted that the "Ethan Allan Express" and "The Vermonter" on Amtrack run daily from Penn Station to Rutland and Bellows Falls, Vermont...just in case you would like to invite a few friends).
The perfect size group for our place would be one, two or three adult couples with anywhere from zero up to five or six little ones.
While there are only two "conventional" bedrooms in this vacation home (one of which is part of a completely separate "mother-in-law apartment" on the lower level of the house)... there is also a private queen-size sleeping loft... and one additional bedroom that we call "the cave" because the roof of the house slopes down into it. Great sleeping for adults or children in "the cave." But no standing up or dancing around... unless you happen to be less than four feet tall! All of these private sleeping spaces are queen-size. There are also several not-so-private sleeping areas. Everything from twin-size built in "sleeping nooks" to queen-size fold-out futons on frames. Plenty of room for two families or up to seven or eight couples.
Our house is completely furnished, including several cords of seasoned firewood. Linens, blankets, comforters, towels, pots, pans and dishes are all provided. There are two fully equipped kitchens as well as two large outdoor gas barbecues that are used year-round.
There are two and a half bathrooms and an extra large washer and dryer. In addition to gas heat throughout the house, there are three woodburning stoves, all of which are free-standing fireplaces, and plenty of seasoned firewood.
Our European hot water heating system cannot run out of hot water, no matter how large your group or how many showers you take. There are two TV's with crystal clear full premium movie package satellite dish reception, two VCR's, two DVD players and two complete stereo systems.
Our winter guests enjoy skiing and snowboarding at Okemo (seven miles away) and Killington, the largest ski area in the eastern United States (20 miles away). Bromley, Magic and Stratton are also well within striking distance. Cross-country skiing is available on prepared trails less than five miles from the house at Okemo Valley (a golf course in summer and fall), as well as on the innumerable snowmobile trails that crisscross our area. Even horse drawn sleigh rides are available in winter!
Summer and fall vacationers have all that Vermont has to offer close at hand. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, tennis, golf, antique hunting and even Old-Time Locomotive Train rides are all nearby. Step out onto the upper deck from the master bedroom and you feel like you are in a huge treehouse...this is most definitely NOT a condo on the slopes!
Boating and fishing (you can even try your hand at ice-fishing in winter) are all to be found on Lake Ninevah, less than a mile from our front door. Almost no visible new construction has been permitted on this more than 100 acre pristine lake in something approaching thirty years, leaving about 90% of its genuine wilderness shoreline intact (think "On Golden Pond"). Boats with motors of more than five horsepower are not permitted on Lake Ninevah, but we do throw in our two person kayak, our canoe and our fishing dinghy (all people powered) at no extra charge.
Foliage Season (late September to mid October) is an unforgettable experience in Vermont and usually peaks right around Columbus Day Weekend in October.

Area Description: Mount Holly is a tiny hamlet just north of Ludlow, Vermont, the small town at the foot of Okemo Mountain.

Hiking, biking, barbecuing, and hammock snoozing are all popular in summer! Music and art festivals abound in the area, particularly in Rutland (the second largest city in the state) and Manchester (also well known for its designer label factory outlet stores...just in case there are shopaholics in your group).
