A World Away: There is a bench by the brook for reading and relaxing. Much of our time is spent outside. Late afternoon we enjoy the sunset, at night we gather for bonfires and to view the stars. The decor is traditional Swiss. There is a queen-sized bed in the living room with a view of the fireplace, two bedrooms (one with two twin beds which can be pushed together, the other has a single twin bed), and our attic, although not fancy, has 3 twin beds and a full sized bed where the older kids love to 'hang out.' We do allow dogs, but we ask that they are well-trained and calm. This is not a place for wild nightlife (although you can find it in nearby towns) it's a place of pristine beauty, warmth, and fun for families!

Lots to do: If you are seeking more adventure, there is hiking and white water rafting nearby in Morrisville and Stowe. Stowe also has mini golf, movies and live theatre, golfing and some of the world's best spas. In Stowe you can take a gondola to the top of Mt. Mansfield for beautiful views and a restaurant which serves lunch. Also, the mountain has an alpine slide. There's horse back riding in both towns too. And Trappe Family Lodge (of the Sound of Music fame) has evening classical concerts in their meadow. Lake Eden offers great fishing, as do surrounding streams and lakes. And for a real treat you can charter a boat and go deep sea fishing in Lake Champlain. Our kids each caught 4 huge lake trout last year, and had a ball doing it!

Guest Book: There you’ll find gourmet restaurants, including the Trappe Family (Sound of Music) Lodge, boutiques, and a fabulous bike trail which goes through pastures and beautiful woods. Stowe also has a gondola ride to the top of Mt Mansfield, a mountain slide, and a movie theatre. Over the mountain, the beautiful village of Craftsbury holds outdoor concerts on their green every Sunday evening. Throughout the area you will find loads of antique shops, and on weekends there are all kinds of events from auctions to country dances and fiddlers concerts. Our place in Eden is definitely God's country. One week of counting the stars in the sky, falling asleep to a crackling fire, and waking up to the sound of the mountain brook, and you and your loved ones will be new people!
