Updated farmhouse built in 1860 located 8mi. from Jay Peak, in the heart of the village of Montgomery Center. There’s a bar/ restaurant and supermarket across the street but only the Trout River & forest out back. Easy access to skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and just downstream from a great swimming hole. One of a few places locally with access to fast internet (Gigabit). The house, now solar powered, sleeps 6-8 comfortably and is spacious and well furnished. 8 people + 2 infants max. The space 2,300 sq foot 3 bedroom farmhouse originally built in 1860, fully furnished and equipped. The first stage of renovations are complete, with a new, well appointed kitchen and completely renovated (but single) bathroom. There’s a large living room with original woodwork and funky old baby grand piano, large dining room, and a big yard with a fenced in area, horseshoe pits, and lots of parking. We offer plenty of indoor amenities, like wood stove, USB outlets & universal chargers, office area with printer & Xfinity Gigbit wifi always available for guests. There’s also a Smart TV with cable, Netflix & Prime, as well as PS3 & games, DVDs, board & card games, toys, etc. The kitchen is fits several cooks, with a gas stove, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook & serve meals. We keep basics like cooking oil, flour, sugar, spices, etc stocked for our guests. I live about an hour away in Burlington, VT, and our family uses the house regularly; a friend who lives down the road is always available to help. There's evidence of work in progress as we continue to make improvements (the next step is to finish the kitchen ceiling), but the house is clean, well furnished, and comfortable. Guest access The house is frequently used by our family, so most everything you need will be there. **Please be aware that the 8 person + 2 infant (1 year old or less) limit is set by the town, and not by me. If you exceed the limit, you will be asked to leave, and may be cited by law enforcement. I cannot afford to risk my license. You may have additional guests during the day, but they may not stay overnight. Dogs are welcome and there are food/water bowls and dog toys. There's an acute cat allergy in our family, so canine companions only, please. Unless you request one of us to be there, you will have the place to yourselves. Access the full house and the well stocked cook's kitchen, including use of staples (spices, pasta, flour, etc). Linens are provided, as are washer/dryer, high speed internet/wifi. There is a ski tuning bench and a wood stove that guests may use. There is a swimming hole out back for summertime, and a vegetable garden and BBQ grill for your use. Hiking and mountain biking trails are nearby and the Route 242 pass is a popular road biking destination. Our family includes a dog, but she won't be around when there are guests, and we clean very thoroughly, so unless you have acute allergies, it should not be a problem. Other things to note As noted, the house has been through a round of renovations, but there is more to be done. The house will be clean, but there may be evidence of some projects in progress. We recognize this by offering a reasonable price. The bedrooms, for example, are set up as they often were in old Vermont farmhouses, in a series- meaning you have to pass through one to get to another. We plan to build a corridor and add an upstairs bathroom in the next few years. We have also not yet completed the kitchen ceiling. Housekeeping services are available upon request.
