Tranquil Brookside Retreat with Hot Tub & Firepit

Imagine waking to the gentle sound of a babbling brook, soaking in your private hot tub beneath a star-filled Vermont sky, and sharing s'mores and laughter around a crackling fire with the people you love most. This is the Brookside Retreat—a thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom home where memory-making moments happen naturally, whether you're gathering for a weekend escape, a multi-generational family reunion, or a quiet retreat with friends.

Perfectly positioned on the edge of Green Mountain National Forest with direct trail access, this timber-accented lodge feels like a sanctuary. Yet you're just minutes from world-class skiing, farm-to-table dining, shopping, and classic Vermont experiences. It's the rare property that delivers both genuine seclusion and easy adventure.

THE SPACE

Three Bedrooms + Home Office with Murphy Bed Option

This home sleeps up to 8 guests with flexibility built in. The Green Mountain Room features a king bed, while the Maple Room and Brookside Suite each offer a queen bed. The dedicated home office includes a convertible queen Murphy bed that's available upon request. Just let us know your preference at booking, and we'll have everything ready for you.

Open-Concept Living Areas

High vaulted ceilings and exposed beams create an airy, welcoming atmosphere. Abundant seating throughout the main living space invites you to spread out or gather around the Samsung Frame Smart TV with Sonos speaker for movie nights or the big game.

Lower-Level Lodge-Style Lounge

This is where group fun comes alive. A gas fireplace, Roku Smart TV, poker table, bumper pool table, and board games make it ideal for family tournaments, movie marathons, or just hanging out. A kitchenette downstairs means snacks and drinks are always within reach—no need to trek upstairs for late-night munchies.

KITCHEN & DINING

Fully Equipped for Cooking & Gathering

Prepare family feasts or casual snacks in a kitchen featuring updated appliances, ample counter space, and everything you need: dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer. The dining table seats everyone comfortably, so no one eats in shifts.

Expansive Outdoor Dining Deck

Step outside to a large deck with grilling facilities and dining seating. Forest and brook views create the perfect backdrop for group meals, morning coffee, or evening cocktails.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

Two full bathrooms and one half bath serve the home, ensuring mornings run smoothly. High-quality linens, towels, and spa-inspired bath amenities come standard—small touches that make your stay feel extra special.

A Word on the Office/Bedroom 4

The fourth sleeping space is housed within the dedicated home office, separated by a privacy screen. While there's no traditional door, this flexible arrangement works beautifully for groups who need office space during the day and an extra bed at night. The Murphy bed stays stored for daytime work use and deploys on request for sleeping.

OUTDOOR SPACES & RECREATION

Private Hot Tub & Firepit

These are the heart of evening relaxation. Soak under the stars, roast marshmallows for s'mores, and let the sound of the brook melt away the day's stress. This is where your best conversations happen.

Direct Forest Access

You're steps away from Green Mountain National Forest with immediate trail access—no long drives to hiking. Whether you're a casual walker or serious hiker, adventure starts at your doorstep.

COMFORT & CONNECTIVITY

High-Speed WiFi & Dedicated Workspace

Work remotely without compromise. The home office is equipped for productivity, so whether you're catching up on emails or planning tomorrow's adventures, you've got reliable connectivity.

Seasonal Climate Control

Two A/C units (in the living room and master bedroom) keep things comfortable in summer, while heating ensures cozy winters. The backup generator means power outages won't interrupt your stay.

Pet-Friendly for Small Dogs

Well-behaved small dogs are welcome with prior host approval. Please tidy up after them.

NEIGHBORHOOD & NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

This property puts you in the heart of Southern Vermont adventure:

Skiing & Winter Sports (3–4 miles)

Bromley Adventure Park is your closest option, with Stratton, Magic, and Okemo all within short drives for serious vertical and varied terrain. Three cross-country ski/snowshoe venues in the immediate area.

Outdoor Recreation

Hapgood Pond, Dorset Quarry, local waterfalls, and swimming holes are minutes away. Four golf courses nearby cater to all skill levels, and hiking trails are endless.

Shopping, Dining & Local Flavor (6–15 minutes away)

Londonderry (6 miles) has groceries, a local butcher, and casual eateries for quick meals. Manchester (15 minutes) offers upscale shopping and farm-to-table dining. The famous Vermont Country Store, Orvis flagship, general stores, farm stands, galleries, and brewery tours all showcase authentic Vermont character.

Scenic Byways & Day Trips

The area is packed with seasonal attractions and picturesque drives perfect for memorable day trips. Every direction reveals something worth exploring.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

This home was designed for people who want privacy without isolation, relaxation without boredom. It works beautifully for multi-generational family gatherings, friend groups, work retreats, or quiet romantic getaways. The combination of intimate indoor spaces, world-class outdoor recreation, and curated proximity to dining and culture makes it rare—you don't have to choose between seclusion and adventure here.

GOOD TO KNOW

Rural Mountain Setting

Wildlife encounters are part of the authentic Vermont experience. We provide a bear-proof trash can and ask that you keep food secured. It's part of what makes this location special.

Road & Access

The property sits on well-maintained unpaved roads. A vehicle is required year-round and especially important to have good tires in the winter—please drive with care. Front-wheel or all-wheel drive will serve you best. This rural positioning is precisely why you're steps from the forest and far from crowds.

Cell Service & Connectivity

High-speed internet is present, but cell service can be spotty in the area. Not a bad thing if you're looking to unplug—but good to know if you need constant connectivity.

Flexible Spaces

This home adapts to your needs. The office-bedroom hybrid works as pure office space, pure guest room, or both. The Murphy bed deploys only if you request it at booking. We're here to make your stay fit your plans exactly.

Self-Check-In

Smart lock entry means you arrive on your own timeline. No waiting for a host; just unlock and settle in.
