House rental in Jamaica, Vermont - Ski House with character, near Stratton and Bromley Mountains - Property 144367

The House and Barn: House has been a family summer home for over 30 years - but rented out weekly in summer and fall, and every winter. Thus it is set up for tenants. It is well equipped with china, glass, cooking equipment etc. Sheets and towels, dish cloths and bathmats are all provided. One of the features is the way in which the living room and the country kitchen provide one open space. They are distinct separate areas, but are open to one another. Thus the person cooking is also 'part of' the group sitting around the fire. (From the end of the kitchen to the end of the living room is 36'.) The Barn has parking for two cars, but is difficult to use for parking in the winter, as the snow tends to block the doors. However, there is direct access from the house - and firewood is stored conveniently in the barn. House has a mudroom for storing skis and boots in the winter, swimsuits and sports gear in the summer. It also has a separate laundry room with washer and dryer.

The house has charm and character. It is about 200 years old, of wood construction. It is a perfect setting in the winter, with a group sitting around the fire and snow all around. The fact that it is on a plowed road, and the shops are just a short walk makes for a very convenient location. It has been carefully maintained and well looked after, and visitors always comment on how 'at home' they felt as soon as they walked through the door.

Ski: House is located on a plowed tarmac road, just off the Main Street. Stratton Ski area is just ten minutes down the road, 20 minutes to Bromley, and 30 minutes to Mt. Snow. House has mudroom for storing skis and boots.

Guest Book: We have loads of enthusiastic comments from renters. In the summer: people have found numerous places for dipping in water including a waterfall-fed pool; enjoy hiking, just walking out of the front door; have left lists of birds spotted; In the winter, the opportunity to access a range of ski areas plus cross-country is appreciated. Also, sitting around the wood-burning stove in winter evenings has been commented upon.
