This lovely Southern Vermont home is centrally located and close to everything a group needs for a fantastic vacation. Minutes to Bromley, Magic, and Stratton mountains for the outdoor adventurers. Minutes to the quaint town of Londonderry, which has shops, bars, restaurants and an excellent small-town grocery store. Over the mountain and through the woods is the great small city of Manchester, offering fine dining, great shopping, golfing, and more.
The home is perfect for families or a group of friends looking to make some memories. A game room with a pool table, sauna, huge firepit, entertainment room, and workout room. We welcome long-term renters, the home has a private office and super-fast internet so you will not lag on those video conference calls.
The Space
The home has three bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, and sleeps up to eight guests. An additional two guests can sleep on a pull-out couch in the downstairs media room, for a total capacity of ten guests for the home.
On the main floor is a full-stocked kitchen, with great appliances that the group’s chef will love, and plenty of silverware and plate ware for the house. All you need to do is bring the food! The dining room table seats up to eight, and there is a corner wood fireplace that will keep the room nice and toasty.
The game room is also on the main floor, with a pool table, bar, TV and plenty of seating. It is a great place to shoot a round or two while watching the game.
Downstairs is the entertainment room with a huge TV, the sauna, and the workout room. We have provided some weights for the workout room, but you are welcome to bring your own. It is a great place for those who would like to do yoga as well.
Out back is a very nice stone patio, perfect for enjoying those beautiful Vermont days and nights, and is quite private. There is a huge firepit, you are welcome to burn any downed trees and branches you find on the property.
The Perfect Experience
Since you are close to everything, you can have an eclectic vacation, doing a little of this and a little of that, or you can focus in on what your group loves to do. We recommend waking up with a nice cup of coffee or tea and enjoying the crisp and clean Vermont air out back, before cooking up breakfast or brunch in the kitchen.
The mountains are very close, only minutes away, so you can have a late morning ski session followed by lunch at the house, or in one of the mountain towns. Then you can hit the slopes again for an afternoon session, or catch the game in the game room while hosting a friendly billiards tournament.
As the sun sets, we recommend lighting a fire in the fireplace, or gathering wood for the firepit outback. As the fire crackles, you can toast with your favorite beverage, or a local selection from the nearby grocery store. For those with sore muscles, perhaps a visit to the sauna will do the trick.
The Neighborhood
One of the best features for winter renters is that the home is located in between three of the best mountains in Southern Vermont—Bromley, Stratton and Magic Mountain. Two excellent cross-country skiing centers, Wild Wings and Viking Nordic, are in the area as well. There are also options for snowmobiling. If this is not enough, Manchester and its surrounding areas offer several unique and unforgettable sleigh ride experiences, including dogsledding.
In the summer enjoy numerous hiking or cycling opportunities nearby. Bromley Sun Mountain Summer Park offers family adventures for the whole day of fun including New England’s longest zipline, Vermont’s longest water-slide raft ride, America’s longest triple-track Alpine Slide, climbing walls, mini-golf and much more. Stratton, Magic and Manchester have great golf courses as well. Fishers can purchase their license in town and pick up the Vermont Fishing Guide to find the hottest places to cast a line.
If you are looking for the small-town Vermont experience, the villages of South Londonderry and Londonderry are minutes away. Grab an incredible sandwich at The Corner Market Deli in South Londonderry, or grab a pint at The New American Grille in Londonderry. These small towns are fun to explore, with roadside farmer’s stands for the best produce you can imagine, small quaint shoppes to support local artists, and more.
