About this property

Spectacular timber frame on 60 acres, private swimming pond & trails - Sleeps 8

This property is in Orange, Vermont where sugar maples abound. Enjoy fiery red, orange and yellow colors of fall foliage undisturbed from this spectacular, eco-friendly timber frame home set on 60+ acres. Relax while strolling around (or swimming!) in our private pond or hiking/biking on well-maintained single track mtn bike trails. Prepare meals in an our open-plan kitchen and serve them at the breakfast bar or on our large, country style dining room table. Take in the forest and mountain views from the deck, with a large table for outdoor dining. During the day your kids may enjoy exploring the brook or pond, playing board games, flying high on our rope swing or curling up with a book from our extensive children's book collection. Play ping pong in the basement and, on clear nights, enjoy the bright Milky Way as a perfect backdrop while you roast marshmallows from Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. This is a delightful spot to enjoy the quiet beauty of Vermont in any season.

Such a great property! We came for the eclipse but absolutely did not want to leave. The home was clean, well-equipped, cozy and perfect. Our hosts were communicative and lovely. I am looking forward to coming back again soon; our experience couldn’t have been better.

Wonderful time in beautiful, private location

Our group of 6: grandparent, parents, 3 kids had a great time staying here. Spacious home, beautiful surroundings, lots of room to roam around for the kids. Very peaceful and private. We loaded up on food for the week and large ate in the house. It’s somewhat of a drive to get to restaurants and attractions, but we didn’t mind.

Relaxing, quiet, sanctuary

Relaxing and quiet. beautiful views. Comfortable and nicely appointed amenities. Our short stay did not allow time or have the weather cooperate to explore the available trails but looked interesting. We spent quality family time removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. It was just what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Colin and Genevieve

This is our family homestead. My husband Colin was raised here and, after buying the property from his father, we decided it was the perfect spot to have our own family. To do this we put in organic vegetable gardens and built a pig pen and chicken coop for a very local food source. Next, because we love to mountain bike, we spent our free time building several miles of fun, flowy single track through the woods. We also cleared glades for skiing in the winter behind the house.

We have loved raising our family in this peaceful space. Watching the kids play in the sandbox or apple trees, or our black lab swim circles in the pond, has never gotten old. Now that we cannot be here full time, we decided to refurbish the home to make it more comfortable for visitors, updating the kitchen and bedrooms. We are so happy to have the chance to share it with others and hope you will find this the perfect place to unwind with your friends and family.

What makes this property unique

The house has solar collectors to provide hot water and solar panels for green electricity. While we are on the grid (so no risk or running out of power or hot water) it's nice to know your carbon footprint will be kept to a minimum.

See the Milky Way! The location of our home is great for seeing the night sky. With so little light pollution sitting on our open porch you will be amazed at all the stars you can see and, if you are there in the heart of summer, the fire flies are a show all on their own.

Hear the sounds of summer from bard owls to bluebirds. The wetland, brook and pond on the property are home to peepers and bullfrogs, painted turtles and salamanders. Being surrounded by this natural habitat can be a source of fun and learning for your children and provides a wonderful chorus of sounds as you fall asleep.
