Historic Home w/glass house, mtn views, swim pond, near skiing, weekly discounts

Historic circa 1800 country farmhouse (4 br; 3 full bath) surrounded by nature on 155 private acres yet near to ski areas (see below) w/large swimming pond and mountain views, with attached glass house for dining, star gazing and relaxing views of mountains and gardens. Now restored, the house was formerly a stop along the old stage coach route and a working farm, creamery and cheese factory (see 'Sherman House' at Clarendon Historical Society website https://www.clarendonvthistory.org/HSWF_DisplayItem?ID=1467&XS=A)

Spectacular views of the Vermont Taconic mountains to the west, Dorset Peak visible 16 miles to the South, and down the road the Green mountains and Killington/Pico Peaks visible to the East. Easy access to Vt. Route 7 about six minutes away. Historic town of Clarendon Springs ~1/4 mile downhill from the house, highlight Clarendon House (c. 1835, National Register of Historic Places) -- see photo of painting by James Hope.

Please note that we are a non-smoking and fur free house (no pets) in order to protect the structure and furnishings, which include antiques, as well as to accommodate the smoke/fur free health needs of the owners and guests. As a result, please also note that the house is not appropriate for unchaperoned college age groups, based on prior experiences. Also, a $50/person/night guest fee applies to groups larger than four (max occupancy allowed is 7); There is also a $200 cleaning fee.

Thank you once again for considering spending your valuable vacation time at this special house and property!

Amenities include remodeled bathrooms (3 full) and living/wood stove room, connected heated/cooled glass house with 8' x 8' fireplace. Kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, and attached laundry/mud room with washing machine and dryer. Also, cable TV, high speed internet service, and DVD player. Pond for swimming/kayaking, large lawn and slate patio overlooking 180 degree mountain views. Mountain terrain and property, as well as nearby Appalachian Trail ideal for hiking/biking/cross country skiing.

This home and its location offers something for everyone, with easy access to major ski areas (30 mins. to Killington and Okemo, 45 mins. to Stratton, Bromley), towns (Rutland/Manchester/Dorset), museums, marble quarries, horse back riding, and much more or simply relax at the house and enjoy the quiet by reading/dining on the patio in summer or hanging out around the wood burning stove in winter.

Gracious countryhouse
This was the perfect location for a family reunion over the holidays. Close to skiing at Killington, a variety of spaces in the house for different activities and moments of the day, the large kitchen was perfect for holiday baking and Alex’s guide provided great ideas for things to do in the area.

Even better than it looks!
We had a wonderful stay at this impeccably maintained, charming home. It is competely modern in conveniencies (gorgeous bathrooms and kitchen, comfortable beds), extremely comfortable to hang out in, but feels very historic. The furniture and every detail is superb. We were blown away and already had high expectations. The outside is similarly gorgeous - fabulous views, wonderful privacy, a gem buried deep in the Green Mountains. We simply can't recommend this property highly enough. As an added plus, the owner was super helpful with suggestions about things to see/do. We'll be back!

Beautifully Decorated in a Beautiful Environment
This was a perfect property for us. The location with great views was matched by the character and quality of the inside furniture and attention to design details. It also had a very well appointed kitchen, better quality than in the usual rental. All in all, a place to soothe the nerves.

Perfect for us!
The house was great for us - we used all the different spaces and particularly enjoyed eating in the glass room with the doors open and the evening breeze coming through. I appreciated that the kitchen had everything we needed, that the spaces were all appealing & comfortable, and that Alex was extremely responsive to my questions. We were a party of six adults and never felt cramped. Highly recommended!

Beautiful historic farmhouse
This was just what we needed for a quiet weekend visit to Rutland. The photos online don't do it justice, for the views from the hilltop are wonderful, especially at sunset and sunrise. We enjoyed cozy fires each night, and there was plenty of room for our family to spread out and have privacy when we needed it.

This was our second visit to this property and we love it. The home is warm and cozy with a great heating system and a super nice wood burning stove. The house is decorated beautifully and the beds and other furnishings are comfortable and nicely appointed. The house is well stocked with all the basics and then some. The views from the house and grounds surrounding this gem are fantastic and so serene. We will be sure to book again for next year's ski season with the house being in close proximity to several ski areas. Thank you Alex for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We had a comfortable stay in Alex’s charming farmhouse. House is close to pico and killington where our family was skiing. Close to hiking trails. Beautiful, peaceful location. House furnishings and decor reminded us of an English style house. The farmhouse and location must be beautiful in all seasons. We would love to return in summer and fall to experience the house and area. Owner is very responsive. Highly recommend Alex’s property for your stay.

Perfect getaway!
My husband and I decided at the last minute to book a quick anniversary trip to Vermont. We wanted to escape the southern heat and have a chance to experience some cool fall weather. We picked this beautiful historic home and from the moment we secured the booking, we knew it was going to be perfect. The owner, Alex, was extremely communicative and quick to respond to my many questions. We flew into Boston and rented a car to drive north. Alex reached out to inquire about our time of arrival so that the home would be prepared with the correct lighting to avoid having to feel lost in a dark house. We walked in and fell in love with the home instantly. It looked and smelled so clean and everything was in its place. Alex had even prepared a beautiful surprise bottle of wine and dessert for our anniversary! Such a nice touch! I loved looking at all the antiques, pictures, and decor. Very tastefully decorated and it felt comfortable, not cluttered or over crowded. It was only the two of us so we slept in the upstairs queen bedroom. The bed was so comfortable and we both slept soundly. I loved that the bathrooms were updated and modern with enough lighting to get ready any time of day. The wonderfully smelling Dorset Daughters soaps and lotions reminded me of the scent I found in Ireland, so refreshing! I had forgotten my hairdryer but Alex had a really nice brand in a box under the cabinet! He really did think of everything! We took many road trips throughout our stay and Alex was quick to provide recommendations for restaurants or other activities in the towns we visited. In the evening, we sat outside in the chairs by the pond to stargaze and we have never seen so many stars in our lives! Alex never seemed to mind my countless texts and really helped make our quick trip to VT a success!! Guests, during your stay, if you are hungry, be sure to check out Sweet Caroline's, Mary's Cafe, and Roots for locally sourced cuisine. If you are in for a beautiful drive on winding country roads head north to Montpelier, on to Stowe, west to Burlington by Lake Champlain, and Shelburne stopping by the Shelburne Museum for a cultural treat! Thank you Alex!!
