The Cottage is located in historic East Poultney, Vermont, beside the former Poultney schoolhouse, now home to the local historical society. Guests can also relax and unwind in the private hot tub located on the property, perfect after a day of hiking, biking, skiing, or exploring the area.
Surrounded by the beautiful Slate Valley hiking and biking trail system, the area offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and small-town charm. The village of Poultney is just one mile away and features restaurants, shops, stores, and a local pub. A sidewalk begins directly in front of the cottage and leads all the way into town, making it ideal for walking, jogging, or biking.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being less than an hour from Pico, Killington, and Bromley Mountains, while Lake St. Catherine is only 3 miles away and Lake Bomoseen is under 10 miles from the property.
The Cottage itself was originally built in 1910 as a “Mother-in-Law” home. Though cozy in size, this charming two bedroom house is warm, comfortable, and full of character. The shower is beautifully crafted from locally sourced Vermont slate. Guests will enjoy all the comforts of home, including linens, kitchen essentials for preparing meals, strong WiFi, and cable TV with Roku.
Guests have full access to the entire home, along with both the front and back yards.
