The Apartment, The Creek Cabin, and The Guest House can all be found online!
Guests have access to the entire cabin, the vegetable garden, swimming pond, fire pit and sauna. All walking trails are available to guests, and are marked. Please avoid areas around other buildings on Sky Hollow to allow all guests their privacy. All barns are also private. No fees for use of the sauna are required, but donations are accepted to help cover the costs of firewood.
Your hosts live in the main farmhouse. We request our privacy and will respect yours, but want to be sure your stay with us is as comfortable as possible, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us! Generally, the area is very quiet, and everyone knows to be respectful of space, privacy and noise.
The Cabin is located beyond the end of the dirt road - (1 mile up from Route 100 North). There is minimal traffic other than owners or other guests who may come to swim, enjoy the sauna, or hike. The village of Rochester features great eateries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a bakery, a lovely public library, art gallery, antique store, a great playground at the elementary school, swimming holes, yoga studio, and more, and it is within driving distance of larger towns like Rutland and Killington, Middlebury, Waitsfield and Warren, and West Lebanon NH for day trips.
PYO organic berries at Sunshine Berry farm in town, tubing in the White River, biking and hiking close to home are all part of the community offerings.
Public transportation is a 20+ minute drive away - a vehicle is necessary. Parking is available at the cabin. 4wd and a vehicle with decent road clearance is recommended.
Your hosts have 2 golden retrievers (Kodak & Copper) - they are friendly and (usually!) well-behaved, but do bark and run to greet you, so please drive slowly and don't be alarmed! We also have a cat, several free range chickens, and a friendly horse (Moose) who grazes in view of the cabin. Please be aware of electrified fencing (especially with small children!). Maple syrup and eggs offered for sale when available. Please consider that you may or may not have cell service during your stay - AT&T has good coverage, but Verizon is spotty...there is a nice rock on the mountain top where it works well! Check coverage maps for other carriers.
