Restored farmhouse 5 miles from Jay Peak Resort (#31443)

Jay Peak, Vermont
 

Description of the Jay Peak vacation home rental

Hidden away on 3 acres of land with its own brook and woods is this 100 year old farmhouse which has been restored and converted into a vacation rental property.

In winter, you are surrounded by pristine vistas - a blanket of white snow where you can step outside the mud room and go x-country skiing or snow-shoeing on over 200 acres of pasture and woods. If downhill skiing and snowboarding is your passion, drive 6 minutes up the mountain and you'll be at Jay Peak Resort where you can get your "powder fix" or if you've never enjoyed these sports, sign up for ski school and in a couple of hours, their experienced staff will have you on the slopes in no time at all.

Brookside Farmhouse immediately takes you back to a time where the hours and minutes turn much slower. There is a special sense of peace and tranquility to be found in this restored farmhouse with its wide plank wood floors downstairs and its many windows looking out to the privacy and beauty of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

Of course, modern amenities are a given with complimentary high speed internet access, phone service, satellite TV, extensive DVD and VCR libraries stocked with great titles for children and not to be forgotten, a pool table for kids of all ages.

If planning summer or fall family reunion, The Brookside Farmhouse is the place to be. Fish for your dinner at night in the brook running through the property - cook it on the outside BBQ, get desert by picking the delicious all organic raspberries and blackberries that are found throughout the property, go on hikes through the fields and mountains, enjoy a round of golf on the championship golf course at Jay Peak Resort. In other words, there is so much to do or nothing at all when you vacation at the Brookside Farmhouse, an affordable Vermont lodging facility very close to Jay Peak.

Area Description

Whether coming to enjoy all winter sports or in summer excellent trout fishing, golf, horseback riding, antiquing, swimming in natural swimming holes where children jump from glacier rocks into crystal clear rivers....the Jay Peak area of northern Vermont is arguably the most beautiful and unspoilt area of Vermont. Visit the 7 covered bridges in the Montgomery Center area, meet the locals and don't be surprised if you see a sign on the door saying "there is more than 6 inches of fresh powder so we are on the slopes...come back tomorrow" which is all part of the charm of this quintessential Vermont village.

If excitement and nightlife is required, take a drive across the border and visit downtown Montreal, a 1 1/2 hour drive to the northwest.

 Great Rental Property, November 18, 2008
By Angela Smith (Los Angeles, CA)
I recently stayed at the Brookside Farmhouse a few months ago as a summer family vacation. It was perfect for a large family with enough space for everyone. There is plenty to do without going too far even in the summer time. There is hiking, amazing views at the top of Jay Peak, kayaking into the sunset, swimming in a swimming hole, or just driving and looking at the amazing scenery. Vermont and the Brookside Farmhouse had much more to offer than I ever expected. I will for sure be returning. The hospitality was amazing.
 
By Monique Simmonds (Cayman Islands)
If 10 stars were an option, this is it! Our mini family reunion was enjoyed by the 10 of us! We really enjoyed the beauty & comfort of this home and its peaceful location. The kids had loads of room to run freely, play indoors, and enjoy the wonderful weather. This place is a place where we will return and definitely somewhere I recommend.

By Tammy (new york city, ny)
pros: comfortably cozy; adorably decorated; had everything we needed; nice big foyer for ski/snowboard gear storage; great price; nice and accommodating host(s). cons: only two bathrooms for a house that sleeps 14; the arch/door ways are meant for people under 6 feet tall.
