In Vermont, it's all about that sexy, sprawling mudroom; offload and dry the day's gear here and be ready to go again tomorrow. Stream a movie on the large flatscreen. A covered front porch area leading to the mudroom is also ideal to stow skis, bikes, and other adventure gear. Don’t forget your ice skates or XC skis in the winter, we do our best to keep the pond ready for sliding if the weather presents and maintain a groomed XC track for gliding.

Fresh Eggs, Frozen Cider, Grass Fed Lamb, Garden Veggies, Flowers, Lambskins for sale upon request - all raised en farm organically with care. Within season, we start you off with a half dozen eggs, whole bean coffee, and flowers gratis. All this, and the farm is fully solar powered. Guest access The studio suite, with its own kitchen, two floors and two bathrooms, is your own private get-away. The studio is connected to the owner's house but interaction with the owners is limited (say hi! but don’t feel obligated to chit chat, unless you want to!). The homeowners may access the outdoor entryway and mudroom space to fetch firewood/tools. The spa room is yours exclusively to relax and restore in during your stay; the spa room has its own bathroom with a shower and toilet. Over a weekend if guests are out, we may perform cleaning service on hot tub. We will make sure to do this at a time when your access will not be impeded or delayed. The grounds include pastures, woods, a spring-fed pond and are available to guests for XC skiing, wandering, swimming, and ice skating when conditions are right. Bring your skates! Living and working according to the seasons, you will see us busy on the property growing food, raising animals, and tinkering away on our farmstead. Sometimes, chickens and sheep reside on this property; say hello but please do respect electric fencing. We usually have farm fresh eggs, fresh cut flowers, apple cider and grass fed lamb for sale! Just ask. This studio and the owner's home (2 adults and 1 child) are under the same roof. There are also two big dogs that roam the property and will take you on walks throughout. Bodhi and Oumi. To maintain allergy boundaries, we do not allow our pets in the studio, but they will be friendly enough that they may try and walk right in. Please refrain despite their cuteness. The studio is located above the owner's personal garage and insulated well from the owner's home that vision/sound is private. The mudroom/foyer is the buffer area between the owner's space and the studio space. The hot tub room is off the mudroom/foyer with windows that look out onto the property and mountains beyond. Other things to note We charge NO CLEANING FEE and ask that you take care of a few things upon checking out of our home. We are an environmentally minded family who cherishes our natural resources and beautiful surroundings. Can we be hedonists and conservationists at the same time? Sure we can. Use only what you need when you need it. We ask that guests turn down the heat via the Nest Thermostat in the studio when they leave. Turn off the lights when you're not around and at night. Countertop compost Pail. Separate your recycling. Keep it simple. We use only natural cleaning products and generally scent-free products, including laundry detergents. 60" SmartTV is great for streaming movies. Most streaming Apps are available (Netflix, Amazon, HBO) for you to login. Our hot tub is filled with natural spring water. Chlorine and bromine, pH balancers, are used to maintain cleanliness and water balance. For continued freshness throughout your stay, we require that guests shower prior to entering the tub - Every Time. There’s a private shower in the hot tub room to make this step very easy. Please rinse your bathing suits as well so that all soaps and detergents are removed. It's for your own benefit and will make your hot tub experiences all the better. For longer stays, we provide refresher maintenance to check and maintain proper water quality. It is very apparent when people do not shower before entering the hot tub. The water becomes cloudy and unpleasant. While we drain and clean the hot tub regularly, keeping the water clean via showering is very important. IF THE HOT TUB REQUIRES A DRAIN AND REFILL DUE TO GUESTS LEAVING THE WATER IN A STATE THAT IS NOT CLEAN ENOUGH FOR THE NEXT GUEST, $250 WILL BE CHARGED. This is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming process and particularly unfair to the next guest. If a guest requests a water change prior to arrival we can accommodate this request for an additional $250. Please provide 2 days' notice so that the tub will be hot upon arrival. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
