Charming Vermont Home on 7 Acres w\/ Hot Tub, Fireplace and Pond!
About this house rental
Located in Vermont, this lovely house for $495 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Travel back in time to the picturesque, quaint villages and outdoor beauty of the Green Mountains in this sprawling Vermont vacation home! You will enjoy all the comforts of home and more as you awaken every morning from a deep and restful country sleep, gaze through the French doors at the beautiful misty mountains, and brew a cup of steaming French Roast coffee to enjoy on the balcony in your bathrobe. Maybe you don't even need to leave the house today after all. You can wander between our 3 living rooms, Great Room and Sun Room, trying to decide which one has the coziest spot for curling up with your coffee. Or maybe you'd rather decide which of our 3 decks and patios has the sunniest spot. Or you could wander up the back yard to the pond, relax in an Adirondack chair and watch the fish jump. But if all this fresh air has you feeling like a kid again, head for the tree swing in our big, gorgeous maple, or take a shady nap in our hammock. You can hardly tear yourself away, but there are so many wonderful things to explore in Dorset and Manchester! Dorset is a most charming, quaint location in every season. In the early spring you can enjoy visiting a real maple syrup 'sugar shack' to see how Vermont maple syrup is made, and by late April and May, our gardens are bursting with color. In summertime, you must pack a picnic lunch and head to the local favorite swimming spot, the Dorset marble quarry, and join the locals in a time-honored tradition of jumping off the ledges. The endless nearby hiking trails beckon to be explored. In the fall, our stately maple trees in the front yard, and the surrounding mountain sides are breath-takingly ablaze with color, and in winter you must skate on our pond, sled down our hill and take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride nearby! Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and snow mobiling are just 15 minutes away, and there's a great ice skating rink just 7 minutes away. Any time of year, exploring the 100-year old covered bridges and meandering down the back roads through the adorable, quaint towns is a cherished favorite pastime. All of these activities and more await you at Owlswood! Charming shops, bakery cafes and general stores are 3 minutes away on Dorset Green, and 7 minutes away in Manchester Center, not to mention the highly-acclaimed Southern Vermont Art Center, the historic Hildene House (former home of Robert Todd Lincoln) and the famous Vermont Country store. There are many local activities all year round, including the Manchester Summer Horse Festival, the water slide park at Bromley Ski Resort, art fairs, Sunday farmers' markets, outlet shopping, golf, fly-fishing, canoeing, horse-back riding, and don't forget incredible hiking, just minutes away. When you return home from exploring, enjoy an outdoor game of badminton or volleyball in our dedicated court, all set up and ready to play! We also provide a nice wooden corn hole set, bocce ball and croquet sets, as well as a football, soccer ball, baseball mitts & balls, and frisbees to use in our huge front and back yards. You can even swim in our pond, or row the 3-person raft around! But there's nothing like just relaxing at the picnic table while you throw in a line for some catch-and-release fishing, or taking a lazy summer nap in the our incredibly comfortable hammock under the shady maple tree on a summer's afternoon...heavenly. We even have several fun trails on our property, such as the Pond Loop Trail, and the Bird House Trail. Great for walking your dog right at the house! Once it's time to head indoors, start the evening by lighting a wood fire in the huge stone fireplace in the Great Room and playing some board games or starting a puzzle (we have lots!). Our brand-new, incredibly comfortable sectional sofa with a chaise lounge is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, or snuggle up to watch a little TV or movie you've been meaning to see on our new QLED 55" high-def, flat screen Smart TV, with Blu-Ray player. We also have another 42" SmartTV all set up in the lower living room area with a Wii video gaming system, and 25+ games from which to choose, including Guitar Hero. We have high-speed wireless internet, and you'll especially love our Sonos music system, on which you can play just about any song ever recorded at the touch of a button! We even have blue tooth speakers outdoors by the hot tub, too. There is a house phone with unlimited long-distance calling, and a USB printer for your use, as well. For dinner your first night, why not bake a delicious home-made Chicken Pot Pie from historic Dorset Union General store on Dorset Green? But be sure to venture out for a great meal at one of the many award-winning restaurants close by. Dorset and Manchester are renowned for their incredible chef-owned restaurants, and farm-to-table cuisine. You could spend years trying all the amazing restaurants within a 10-minutes radius of Owlswood! It's also fun to create your own farm-to-table experience, using fresh produce from local Dutton Farms (the kids will adore seeing their cute farm animals, too). So bring your favorite recipes from home and cook up a feast in our very well-appointed kitchen with a nice breakfast bar, then gather everyone in the formal dining room for a cozy fireside meal. After dinner it's time to relax and watch the sunset over the mountains in our very private 7 person jetted hot tub, or roast marshmallows around the outdoor bonfire pit while gazing at the incredible Milky Way. We even provide the firewood! Our little hamlet of Dorset, Vermont is located in the Southwest corner of the state, in the heart of the Green Mountains, only 4 hours drive from New York City and 3 hours from Boston. If you fly in, Albany, New York is the closest major airport, and Dorset is 1:15 minutes northeast by car. Burlington, Vermont is 2 hours north of us, and Manchester, New Hampshire is about 2:30 minutes east of us. We know you'll fall in love with Dorset just as we did. We can't wait to have you as our guests! Keywords: Sprawling House with Stone Fireplace

What an amazing weekend at Owlswood! From snowboarding at the local mountains, the hot tub at night and the mountain views from the property, our weekend getaway was perfect! The home had everything we needed from cookware to spices, all we really needed to bring was our clothes and outdoor gear. We highly recommend Owlswood.

Beautiful house and grounds, great place, well equipped, had everything we needed for our family of 11.
We had so much fun at this spacious, amazingly decorated house. We used jacuzzi after day of skiing and we enjoyed fire places in main living rooms.
The location is also very convenient, close to Manchester, very cute little town with quality shops and restaurants and close proximity to Stratton and Broomley for skiing.
Fast internet, easy communication with Suzanne, the owner made our stay even more enjoyable. And Sonos set up was also a wonderful addition.
We truly recommend this beautiful and amazing house.

This property is the perfect place to get away, relax, and explore Dorset/Manchester and surrounding areas. I stayed here as a big group for a wedding in the area. We were looking for a place where there was plenty to do on the property - and this is IT!
Suzanne is the absolute perfect host and has the running of this place down to a science. There are clear instructions for everything and she also can give great recommendations of things to do in the area.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Owlswood. It was exactly what we needed, and it was great that we were able to bring our dog. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again. Communication with the owner was great as well.

What an amazing property, and location! Beautifully situated on a slight hill, nestled up against a tree line, with stunning views out of the living room windows! Everyone in my family had a terrific time, and the pond was an enormous hit with my grandsons, and pup! This house is fully stocked for outdoor, as well as indoor fun! Hot tub and SONOS, what is not to love! We will be back, thank you so much Suzanne!!

Our extended family of 7 adults and 3 kids under 7 enjoyed this property for a week. Even when it rained, we went outside and played in the pond and the stream. There is so much to do on the property, that you don't need to look for other activities. We played badmitton, slept in the hammock, pushed kids on the tree swing, had a bonfire and swam in the pond! The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with loads of dishes, glassware, pots, pans, crockpot and lots of spices. We appreciated all of the decorative touches with owls and pinapples. We have already booked for the same week next year! Communication with the owner was excellent!

We had a wonderful time at Owlswood. We were a group of 11 friends up for a wedding nearby and we chose to stay for a long weekend. The property is perfect for a group getaway. During the day we hung by the pond, did some fishing, played card games, and enjoyed the sonos music system. At night we took full advantage of a fantastic hot tub.
The space was extremely well stocked with plenty of towels, bedding, etc. Suzanne provided us with extremely detailed and clear instructions and was very responsive.
We would definitely stay here again.

A group of female friends all turning 60 this year rented for a long weekend. This place was amazing - between hot tub / pond / fire pit / swing / flowers and most of all the scenery, it was perfect!
Highly recommend to others.

We had a blast at Owlswood! Our crew enjoyed the gorgeous wood-burning fireplace, the VAST backyard, the privacy, the hot tub, and the spaciousness of the house. I also truly appreciate that this house is dog friendly, but not at all in rough shape! Sometimes dog-friendly homes are gross. This house was clean, but lived-in. Not too nice that I was fearful that my dog would ruin anything in the home. This house is massive, we barely used half of it, so this house can easily house two families if needed. Stratton was not far (30 mins roughly?), and we had a great ski day. There is a very cute bakery in Dorset that I highly recommend as well, just 5 minutes down the road.

This was the the 2nd time we stayed at Owlswood and had a blast. Suzanne is the best and really made us feel welcome. We enjoyed the property and made some unforgettable memories. We come to Vermont every winter to ski and think we have found our house to stay each time. We can not wait to be back.

My family and I have been coming to this house for over 10 years and every time there is something new/improved. This time it was the comfortable new green couches in the living room. The location is perfect, the property is well maintained and the view is unmatched. My family and I love just spending our time by the beautiful fireplace, reading down in the great room with the view of the mountains or playing board games at the dining room table. When we want to get out and be active, there is plenty of space to walk around the property or even play some yard games.
Suzanne is very a attentive and gracious host who has great suggestions of what to do in the area from entertainment to local baked goods. We made more memories during our most recent stay at Owlswood and look forward to making more in the future!

This is such a beautiful home to stay in as a group of friends/family. We spent most of our time in the great room, all together, around the fire but could have chosen any of the other three gorgeous seating areas to spread out. The bedrooms are charming …..and the hot tub is perfect. The host could not have been more helpful and made our stay even better. We couldn’t have wished for more and would love to return again and again. Thank you.

My family stayed here with our dogs for a wedding and it was perfect. The photos do not do it justice! The property is beautiful and the house has everything you could possibly need. You really feel like you're staying in a family vacation home - it's comfortable, clean, spacious, and beautifully taken care of - we could not believe how large the house is as well! Suzanne was so helpful and responsive. We felt truly welcomed. This house would be perfect to host a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas in. The property is very special as well. Thank you for a great stay!

Large, comfortable, very well-equipped house and beautiful grounds, in a great location. Host was very helpful and available with answers within hours for all questions, needs, concerns, etc. - but as the house had everything we needed and then some, including very detailed instructions and information, we could have certainly managed without her responsiveness to emails and texts. She was very accommodating of our needs including check in and departure times; checked on whether lawn care/landscaping would interfere with our quiet enjoyment of the property, etc.
We are already planning to return here for another reunion - sadly probably not for several years. But would certainly rent this lovely property with very attentive host again. Absolutely as advertised.

Okay, so first, I just have to say how much I appreciate Suzanne. She was extremely responsive to anything I asked, and she has note/labels on everything! It was so helpful!
I feel like as beautiful as the pictures are for the listing, they don't do the property justice. It was gorgeous. The home is so comfortable and quiet. There is plenty of space for dog crates if you bring them like we did, and there is so much space outside! We loved sitting outside with tea at night and listening to the frogs and crickets. Truly a zen space.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you may need, and the bedrooms are super cozy and comfortable. The family room couch is SO comfy, that we fell asleep there a few times. You won't be disappointed by booking this property!
We had a great time and ate so much amazing food! We can't wait to go back!
