Check in time is generally 4 PM, and checkout is around 11 AM. We are very flexible. This is an old farm house, and I tell guests not to expect the Taj Mahal. Cell phones really don't work well, but there is a wall phone to call 911 in an emergency. People can call you at the farm. If you want to let the kids camp, then that's fine. This is a down home atmosphere where you can sit and relax without all the daily running around. This is the kind of place that I used to dream of when I lived in NYC- clean air, water and peace and quiet. Come on up. Reservations are booking fast. Wireless Internet service available for free outside of the local library.


Further details about this house rental

You Will Find All the Comforts of Home: At Bluff Mt. Retreat you will find all the comforts of home in this old 4 bedroom farmhouse. There is a fully furnished kitchen, washer, dryer, mudroom, a loving room, a dining room, and a reading room, both with excellent views of the mountains. Upstairs are the bedrooms with double beds in each and a single in one. Bedding and sheets are provided. There are bathrooms on both floors and lots of hooks to hang your hats on. On the outside you will find large lawns to play on. There are perennial gardens that are constantly being updated. Wildlife is plentiful, you never know what will show up, a bobcat, evening grossbeaks, fox, moose? Behind the house are acres and acres of woodlands to walk and explore. Bluff Mt. can easily be reached in any season..well, bring the snowshoes in winter. The privacy is unparalleled. Nobody will bother you because it is so secluded. But it is easy to get to, only a short way across the RR tracks and up the lane. Ample parking.

Why Stay Here?: Bluff Mountain Retreat is where you want to come to get away from it all. Imagine seeing thousands of stars at night. Imagine hearing nothing but the song of peepers or ovenbirds at night. Well, sometimes there is the clinking of the train as it rumbles through Island Pond, but mostly, you will hear the wind in the trees and your own thoughts tinkering in your head. Every season is beautiful here. Sit and watch the snowflakes fall or the flowers bloom. Enjoy nature at it's fullest. There are hiking trails behind the house that go up to Bluff Mt. itself. Bring your bikes and tour the Kingdom. There are ample waterways to canoe and kayak on. In winter, Jay Peak and Burke Mountain are close by. Cross country ski too. For snowmobilers, the Vast trail is nearby. We have created this retreat with simplicity in mind. No outside distractions- just what you want to do on your off days. Come alone and write that novel you have been dreaming of, or bring your extended family.

You are guaranteed to have fun no matter who you come with. The house has lots of room to sleep inside and you can pitch tents outside also. The drinking water is delicious and the air is clear and clean. The views are magnificent. This is the place to visit if you enjoy exploring. If you love the outdoors, but want to come in at night, love privacy but want shopping to be convenient, have children, friends, relatives that would like to share a place with you, then stay at Bluff Mountain Retreat. It is the kind of place that I dreamed of visiting when I was younger with small children because it is simple. If you are an artist, then bring your brushes or camera because the views are fantastic and the sunsets stunning. Bring your motorcycle touring buddies. There is a great fire pit to sit and tell tall tales. This is the kind of place that I am hoping you will tell your friends about. You will get down home genuine friendly service from our family. Please call or e-mail soon

Other Activities: canoeing, kayaking, birdwatching, trainwatching, snowmobliing, leaf peeping, theaters, moosewatching, fishing, campfires, wildflowers,
