This large vacation home will accommodate up to seven couples or one
or two families. While there are only two "conventional" bedrooms in
this three level log house (one of which is part of a completely
separate "mother-in-law apartment"), there is also a fully enclosed
queen size private sleeping loft ... plus a queen size room that we
call "the cave" because the roof of the house slopes down into
it...there is plenty of sleeping room for two adults in "the cave"...
but no standing up or dancing around...(unless you happen to be under
four feet tall)...All four of these private spaces are queen size. 

There are also several non-private sleeping spaces ... everything from
twin size built in "sleeping nooks" to full and queen size fold out
futons on frames.

 An ideal size group would be one, two or three adult couples...with
anywhere from zero all the way up to five or six children. 

We are located on 21 of our own beautifully wooded, private and
secluded acres in the heart of Vermont, with spectacular mountain
views from three decks (see photo). Heat is supplied primarily from
three wood-burning stoves, two of which are large free-standing
fireplaces. There is also a back-up gas heating system throughout the
house, just in case you forget (or you just aren't in the mood) to
stoke up the fire.

The house is completely furnished, including several cords of seasoned
firewood in winter. 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, two of which are free-standing fireplaces, and
plenty of seasoned firewood. We recently installed a European hot
water heating system that 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, a DVD player and two complete stereo systems.

Ski Okemo (7 miles away) in winter.. or Killington, the largest ski
area in the East (about 20 miles away). Cross-country skiing on
prepared trails is available less than 5 miles from the house at Okemo
Valley Fox Run (a golf course in summer and fall), as well as on the
innumerable prepared V.A.S.T. snowmobile trails that criss-cross our
area. Horse drawn sleigh rides, guided snowmobile tours, even hot tubs
are available (delivered to our door and set up in advance). 

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 NOT a condo on the slopes! 

Boating and fishing are all to be found on Lake Ninevah, less than one
mile from our front door. Virtually no visible new construction has
been permitted on this pristine 200 acre lake in more than thirty
years, leaving about 90% of its genuine wilderness shoreline intact.
It should be noted that boats with motors of more than 5 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 (an unforgettable experience in Vermont)
usually peaks right around Columbus Day Weekend in October.
