VT Mountain Retreat – Near RESORTS

Charming and decorated to reflect past and present, this woodland cabin has three cozy bedrooms and two period style baths, one boasting a Jacuzzi! The front door opens into a spacious country style living room with a well equipped country kitchen. A natural log staircase ascends from the living room to a cozy bedroom loft offering a breathtaking view of rolling hills leading to Vermont’s lovely Green Mountains that rise out of the horizon.

Noted resorts include Stratton, Bromely and Magic.

The space
Cabin style window panes offer brief glimpses of the Green Mountains from each room making this little cottage a great place to escape the concrete jungle and enjoy some quiet time.

The home is heated principally with propane, offers optional wood heat in the form of a lovely old stove together with a plentiful supply of locally harvested firewood.

Our front lawn once considered for use as a landing strip for a private plane, gently slopes away, opening up to a broad vista of mountains, offering a spectacular array of bright hues – particularly in autumn.

The back of the home offers immediate access to plush woodlands. Private nature trails meander through the woods to a babbling mountain brook, providing a place for quiet reflection. Don’t be surprised if a wild turkey or two cross your path as you explore your own private woods.

The back of the house has immediate access to private trails that lead into denser woods.

Vacation rentals of more than 3 days will allow access to laundry room (washer and dryer).

Given the winter hideaway location it is strongly suggested that guests have 4 wheel or all wheel drive type vehicles.

Wild Wings Ski Touring Center (read their description below)
Wild Wings is a family friendly Nordic ski touring center. We are located in Peru, a small Vermont town, high up in the Green Mountain National Forest. Our trail system consists of loop trails that will satisfy all skill levels of cross-country skiers. Need to rent skis? Our rental shop is fully stocked with all sizes of classic equipment.

Traditionally, our trails have served classic cross-country skiers, but in 2018 we built a new 3k trail to accommodate both classic and skate skiing.

Weston Playhouse (see below)
As Vermont’s longest-running professional theatre, the Company celebrates the classics and nurtures the new with a multi-stage summer season of rollicking musicals, family-friendly productions, classic plays, and ground-breaking new works.

The Weston Priory – Beautiful Benedictine Monastery – (according to review below)
The Weston Priory is over 50 years old and the 10 or so brothers who live there follow the Benedictine way of life and also focus on peace and social justice. They have a beautiful property and offer hospitality to visitors whom join their services. The services are unlike typical catholic mass and instead are full of music, silence and inspired words offered from the heart by the brothers. The winter chapel is small but beautiful and summer services are in a large old barn. Communion is offered.
