Property Truths
Although a favorite of most guests, this property might not be a fit for demanding travelers. It's professionally cleaned, laundry is washed at 140°, we have the top cable available in the area, and our heating system is under 10yrs old and regularly serviced. However, it's also a historic house in a rural setting with rooms the caliber of the “popular” historic Equinox Hotel in Manchester. The furnishings are primarily antique and antiques are old. The floors creek and the windows can be hard to open. The kitchen dining area can feel cramped for groups greater than 14. The cable and Wi-Fi as mentioned, are the best in the area, but the best in this area is not as good as where you come from. If what I'm telling you sounds charming, and most guests do consider a charming, I'm sure you will love this house.


Location
A rare combination of creature comfort, solitude, and lavish dining and drinking. This is going to be easy, you deserve this. Set in the Green Mountain National Forest with amazing star gazing, mineral water straight from the faucet into your coffee tea or bath and no stoplights, but with WIFI, paved roads, cell-service, a grocer, a liquor store, and incredible shopping skiing and dining. Ski four top mountains - Bromley, (3 miles), Magic (6 miles), Stratton (13 miles), or Okemo (18 miles). Shop 40 Manchester retailers just 12 miles away. Eat at four Michelin quality restaurants and find 12 more family-friendly eats within 6 miles. If you prefer to relax onsite you can enjoy a outdoor hot-tub on the meadow, a walk in the forest, a drink and a book in a spa-bath or in front of a fireplace, or hit your private tavern for drinks and bocce-ball, giant-Jenga, or croquet. This place will really put your stress triggers on pause. Six thousand square feet of interior space and thousands of acres to get lost in:)

History
The Blue Door Farm was formerly known as the Nordic Inn. It is listed in the Vermont Nordic Ski Hall of Fame, and fondly remembered by locals and initiated travelers as the place to go to do anything from falling in love and getting engaged, to celebrating/reuniting with old friends and family. Now as the Blue Door Farm, it is updated remodeled and 100% private. The Blue Door Farm has hosted a wide variety of groups including - Reiki water-healing and other wellness retreats, the Burton Snowboard family, a Bollywood star, the twin baby stars of the Diane Keaton movie Baby Boom (filmed nearby), a former NYC Chief of Police, a Para-Olympic gold medalist, and even a reunion for an 80s band with a multi-platinum album.
