THE PERFECT GETAWAY ... ............. FOR A WEEK OR TWO... .........................OR JUST A LONG WEEKEND........ ......................................................ANY TIME OF YEAR! LESS THAN THREE HOURS FROM BOSTON... and... LESS THAN FIVE HOURS FROM NEW YORK CITY (the "Ethan Allan Express" on Amtrack runs daily from Penn Station to Rutland, Vermont... ...just 20 miles from the house....although you may not want to mention that to the "in-laws"...) The perfect size group would be anywhere from just one couple up to two or three adult couples with maybe 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 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...(think "sleeping quarters" in the cabin of a boat... ...without the motion of the ocean). 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. More than enough room for two small families or up to seven or eight couples! Vacation Rental Amenities: Our house is completely furnished, including several cords of seasoned firewoodin 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. Activities and Attractions: Our winter guests enjoy skiing at Okemo (7 miles away) or Killington, the largest ski area in the East (19 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 snowmobile trails that criss-cross our area. Horse drawn sleigh rides and guided snowmobile tours are available. 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. 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. Bring your camera!
