The most classic of Vermont experiences awaits at this beautiful, light-filled home, scenically situated with views of the Ottauquechee River and the surrounding treetops. Skier, golfer, or fall leaf-peeper, this is the perfect home base in small-town Central Vermont.
Originally built in 1850 as worker housing for the mill that became Simon Pearce, this two-story home is in the heart of Quechee, just a few houses up the road from the picturesque Quechee Covered Bridge. Right in the village, you can stroll to a number of restaurants, shops, and the famous Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival that fills the skies each June. You'll also find Quechee State Park (just over a mile) and the village of Woodstock (seven miles) close by. Two miles away is the Quechee Club; purchase a pass and access two championship golf courses, a driving range, indoor and outdoor pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, eight Hard-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, paddle tennis, a lake with boats, a dock for fishing, a beach, an alpine ski hill, and a trail system for hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing. You'll also be 12 miles away from Dartmouth College.
After a day spent hiking or tasting the local maple syrup, come home to unwind in rocking chairs on the porch. Set the table out back for dinner at golden hour and gather around the firepit for s'mores and stories once the sun goes down. (Firewood is provided.)
The interior is a seamless blend of the timeless and modern, where wide-plank wood floors meet lofty, two-story ceilings. Enjoy a cozy living room with a smart TV, a kitchen with every essential, and a formal dining room for family meals and nightly board games. There's even a special play loft for the kids, offering an array of toys, books, and games.
