Comfortable seating in the living room adjoins the spacious custom kitchen with granite counter tops and maple cabinets. A pot filler over the stove makes for easy meal preparation. A complete selection of new kitchen appliances and utensils makes preparing and serving meals a pleasure. The kitchen connects to a spacious dining room through an antique dutch door. The master suite, located on the first floor, has a spacious bath with a shower for two & even has a special window overlooking the river! Watch the river as you soak in the two-person whirlpool. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each with its own unique en suite bath. A laundry room with washer and dryer is located on the first floor.
Each full ceramic-tiled bathroom is unique and is private to its bedroom. The master bath with privacy window with river-view has a rain head shower as well as a hand held shower and two wall jets.

Effective in 2008, all Vermont rental properties must be inspected and certified by the State of Vermont Division of Fire and Public Safety. Our home has been inspected and is in full compliance with state regulations. A certificate is posted in our home.
This home is available as a winter seasonal rental from November 2010 to April 2011 for $12,000, plus utilities, plowing, cleaning and security. Our home has been rented this year for the 2009-2010 winter season. Please think of us for next year.
South Londonderry is a tiny village that is typical of the lovely Green Mountains of Vermont. Our home is within walking distance of the Village Pantry du Logis for coffee, snacks and light take-out meals. You can also cross-country ski or snow shoe from the door along the lovely West River Trail.
Weston is just a short drive with it's Vermont Country Store and charming shops. Manchester, a shopper's paradise, is only 20 minutes away. The village of Ludlow and Okemo Mountain are 30 minutes away. Both Bromley and Magic are within a 15 minute drive.
July 1 through August 9, 2009, was the Vermont Summer Festival Horse show held at the Harold Beebe Farm in East Dorset. If you are a participant or spectator, we welcome you to stay in our home in 2010.
This summer, 2009, there are three spectacular meteor showers that can be viewed from our lawn: July 28-29 The Delta Aquarids - predawn, about 20 bright-yellow meteors occur per hour. Look for meteors to fan out east, north and west. July 29-30 The Capricornids - known for producing brilliant fireballs. It's best to observe right after sunset. If you can see the Milky Way, you'll probably be able to see this shower. August 12-13 The Perseids - look toward the constellation Perseus (about halfway above the horizon in the northeast quadrant of the sky) in the late evening. Recline with your feet facing south and look straight up. The Perseids should appear over your left shoulder...you could see 60 meteors in an hour.
Don't miss some special events this summer and the picturesque fall foliage season....
The Bondville Fair, August 28-30, 2009, features agricultural displays and contests, quilt show and contest, crafts, rides and games, music, bingo, truck, ox and horse pulling, antique tractors, clog and line dancing.
The 28th Annual Peru Fair, held on September 26, 2009, is rated by the state's Chamber of Commerce as among Vermont's Top 10 events. The homespun Peru Fair steps off with a 9:45 a.m. parade, followed by a pig roast, live music, dancing, hay rides and other entertainment. Dozens of local artisans and food vendors. Parking available at nearby Bromley Mountain, with shuttle buses provided to and from the village.
Columbus Day Weekend - October 10 & 11, 2009 - The village of Newfane hosts its annual Heritage Festival on the common, a two-day craft show with great food served by the local church. If you like apple pie, this is the place to buy a yummy one, have some homemade soup and apple cobbler a la mode. The festival features something for everyone. Eighty juried crafters share the picturesque common with a farmer's market, inside and outside food booths, flea and book table, super raffle, children's corner, and musical entertainment. It's usually a beautiful fall foliage weekend!
Our home is located on a quiet country road off Route 100, which "has been called the most scenic in New England" by Yankee magazine writer Michael Blanding. "In some circles, it's known as the 'Skier's Highway,' since it connects Vermont's giants - Mount Snow, Killington, Sugarbush, and Stowe - like knots on a whip." Let's not forget Stratton, which is only 15 minutes from our door!
"But this road really comes into its own in autumn, hitting the peak of fall foliage not once but many times as it traces and up and down course along the unspoiled edge of Green Mountain State Forest."
For snowmobile enthusiasts, we're not far from VAST trails in Bondville, off Kendall Farm Road, or in Londonderry off Route 11. Visit the Vermont Vast site for more info and to purchase trail maps.
Restaurants to be found nearby are The Mill, the Three Clock Inn, Johnny Seesaw's, Swiss Inn, American Grill, Outback at Winhall River, and Jake's.
