About this property

This contemporary design, cozy house sits high up in the woods on 10 acres of Pikes Falls Road between Stratton and Jamaica. PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT do seasonal winter rentals and we require a full week minimum rental over the December holiday season.
It's a great location - just 3 miles from the cute little town of Jamaica and just 4 miles from Stratton's Sunbowl access road. Close to skiing, hiking, Jamaica State Park, shopping (e.g - a great country store in Jamaica, lots of outlets in nearby Manchester), great restaurants, or just sit by the wood stove and enjoy the peaceful, secluded setting with a great view! The winter bonus is the great sledding (sleds provided, but at your own risk!) and hiking or snowshoeing right outside your door! (Note: property is high up a beautiful country road, AWD or 4WD is usually essential in the winter.) It's a peaceful, beautiful setting to sit by the wood stove (the most efficient source of heat) and watch the snow fall, or be at the slopes in a few minutes. In the summer enjoy hiking, golfing, fishing, canoeing and more nearby, including in Jamaica State Park which is just 3 miles away. A beautiful, natural swimming hole and waterfall at Pikes Falls is just a couple of miles away. Close to Stratton golf, yoga and other summer activities.

The small house has three bedrooms - 2 with adjacent baths, and an additional bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed. The bunk room is small and great for a couple of kids, but too small for adults. You may bring your own sheets and towels, or use ours and probably start laundry before you leave - details TBD.

This house has character and most renters want to come back - try our affordable rates and see for yourself!

Cozy Quiet

This property is as advertised. The owners made everything easy and welcoming. There are multiple roads (and the driveway) which are unpaved and any visitor would benefit from good ground clearance and 4wd/awd especially in wet conditions. Definitely worth the drive!

Very Unique Cabin in the Woods

The layout and location of the property is what you would want when visiting Vermont. There were a few repairs that needed to be done, but this did not affect our stay. If you want privacy in the Vermont mountains, this is the place!

Natural Beauty in Jamaica Vermont

Maggie was a wonderful host. We didn’t have any issues with the rental, but prior to arriving, she answered all our questions. We can’t wait to go back. We spent a much needed vacation in this secluded lovely home. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. Our adult children said, “How do you find these places that are so relaxing surrounded by nature?” At night, we left the windows open to hear the owls and breathe in the mountain air. If you love nature, you will love this place. We ate most breakfasts and dinners on the deck.
