Storybook House on Wrights Mountain

Welcome to The Treehouse!

This is the place to come for relaxation and rejuvenation!

The Treehouse is a totally private, beautiful house in a wooded 10 acres. It overlooks a small, spring fed, half acre pond...with mountain views. 7 minutes from RT I-91 and close to everything. No other houses in sight and all 10 acres are available for walking, boating and exploring.

This is a unique home with an open floor plan, cathedral ceiling and lots of windows. Built in 2008, the house is quiet and peaceful.

Furnishings Include some Frank Lloyd Wright designed dining chairs from Copeland furniture in Bradford and a hand waxed Ellis dining table, made from old New England tobacco barn boards.

There is a main floor bedroom with a queen size bed and Copeland dresser, mirror and chair. And the large open loft has a queen and a full size bed, and a sofa.

The large open floor plan living room has 2 sofas. The house is heated with oil and includes reliable internet and smart TV with Netflix. It also boasts 2 decks on the East and West sides of the house and 1 deck by the the pond for stargazing and wildlife viewing. Or for just sitting and reading. There is a fire pit by the pond and canoeing and kayaking are available on the pond with paddles and pfd's in the Pond House. Wood is provided for the fire pit. There are some short hiking trails around the property as well.

Our property manager, Morgan, lives nearby and is a wonderful resource for all things Vermont. He is also a personal chef and is available to cook a dinner or brunch right there at the house for you. Just give him a call to check his availability.

This property is an ideal getaway situated on beautifully kept grounds. There is a real sense of being in the country with some rustic, such as the painted wooden floor, some kitch, and some elegant and artful touches. The bedroom and loft are air conditioned which cools the entire house and the main living room has two overhead Casablanca fans for cooling in the summer...even though it stands at 1,000 feet above sea level!
Note: The ground floor office is not part of the rental and unoccupied. The wood burning stove is not available for fires.

Below are some excerpts from guests who stayed with us last year and wrote in our "Share your stay with us" book, which we leave out for travellers:

"It's hard to leave this beautiful, restorative place... I will totally be recommending this place to my dearest companions back home. "

"Check-out day...Not wanting to leave...We will miss this place and the wonderful pond and hiking trails."

"Our days were full of the music of birdsong, frog chirps, and wind in the trees. We loved waking up in the trees...such great windows in this house."

"Just the quiet and escape we needed from the world. So nice to sit out on the deck and read a good book."

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house had plenty of space for us to spread out and relax during the rainy days. When the weather was nicer we enjoyed the property - sipping coffee on the deck, walking the trails, and kayaking in the pond. We would definitely stay here again.

A Wonderful Cabin In Bradford
The house was well kept and a great location for the town of Bradford. It’s seriously a hidden gem with plenty of space for a family. The kitchen was well stocked and there is plenty of things to do with kids/adults. The grill was a great addition for cooking. I am seriously looking forward to coming back to stay when visiting family in Vermont.

Great Vacation
My family and I had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Treehouse. My kids spent hours on the trails, at the outdoor firepit, in and around the pond, and in the woods. A great place to relax and recharge while spending time in nature. Great communication from the owners and property manager. Plus, quick drive to town and close to lots of hikes. We had a terrific visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in the woods. We relaxed in the porch and the pond. We took long walks on the dirt road. We enjoyed watching the birds and the wildlife. The weather was perfect for enjoying this beautiful woodlands setting

Anniversary Getaway
The property needs a good painting and the floor should be covered with a nice Pergo finish not painted plywood. The owner should state that the bottom half of the house is not available to the guests and that they cannot use the wood stove in the living room.

The house is nice and the location is very pretty. As stated in the description, the house is located on several acres. I mentioned one improvement to the owner as a suggestion for the future and that would be blinds that could be closed at night in the den/kitchen area.

Peaceful Getaway
We had a wonderful stay. It rained every day, but we were able to take walks along the peaceful dirt road and around the property between the rain storms. We completed two puzzles and read several books. Watching the rain fall on the pond was beautiful. The hosue was comfotable and had everything we needed. It was a treat kayak on the pond and enjoy the woodland property. We will be back!

What a gem!
This house has it all if you want to get away from it all. The owner and his property manager could not have been more accommodating from before the trip till after we checked out. The trails, the pond, the grounds all amazing. We will be back to this gem in the woods. I could not recommend this place more. The pond was a great place to relax, swim and kayak. Although you feel secluded, the town is only 5 min away with a surprisingly great Italian restaurant ( and I’m a Italian food snob from Brooklyn). The perfect Vermont get away.

Peace and quiet
This property is very well equipped, and the host thoyght of everything. There are beautiful views from every window and sitting on the deck was a wonderful respite. Thank you for labeling all the light switches that is a big help. It would also be helpful to put another safety tape at the top of the stairs in the loft. Overall, we had such a good time, it was the perfect location We also loved your Henkel cutlery set. Still can’t get over those amazing knives.

Perfect Vermont vacation
Special thanks to Morgan for jumping our car the first night! The weather was perfect. We canoed on the pond everyday and our son loved catching the crayfish. We ate blueberries and black raspberries from bushes by the house and had fires outside each night. The beds and linens were comfy and deck was great. Notes about the house - don’t expect long hot showers, and the loft wall is precariously short. Just fyi. No problem for us though. There’s no need to leave the amazing property, but we enjoyed a trip to Harvey’s Lake to swim, and to the bookstore in Bradford. Go to Four Corners Farms for all your food. They grow everything they sell and it was all amazing, fruit, veg, meat, milk, cheese. Our time at the tree house was all bird song and frog chirps and peace. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks to Steve for sharing your wonderful retreat.

Wonderful and peaceful time in the forest
The house was everything I had hoped for and more. My husband and I loved walking the trails on the property and around the pond along with exploring the town of Bradford (Fairway is an impressive store, and the deli is very tasty!). My favorite parts were kayaking around the small pond, playing croquet on the lawn, having coffee on the porch and watching the stars from it, too. We did hear a coyote howl and growl several times across the pond when we set up a campfire one night, and we promptly put the fire out with a few buckets of water and went back inside! (I read later that coyotes hardly ever attack, but it was scary at the time in the pitch dark!) The house was overall wonderfully stocked and had lots of towels and blankets, plus having a full kitchen was a delight. My only minor complaint was that there were a few insects and spiders in the house (and a few found their way to my neck when lounging on the couch) but that is totally expected of a house in the woods... So it's pretty minor and didn't bother me too much. Overall I had a wonderful time and would love to visit again!!

Bradford Stay
The pond was smaller than expected. I felt the photos appeared to be a bit deceiving. The floor in the house is painted over wood. Upon getting ready for bed we noticed one of the beds dirty it contained beads so we had one less bed to use on top of the beds being extremely uncomfortable. Nearby neighbors heard blasting the music throughout the night. The water gets very hot at times or it didn’t even get warm ( I experienced a lot of cold water). Lighting could be a little brighter in the house at night but has a lot of natural light during the day… Went to make coffee and the coffee pot contained coffee grounds and coffee from previous guest. I was a bit disappointed with my experience. Overall, it was an okay getaway. The property is close to towns; easy enough to travel to other locations that are a little further away. Spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying the hustle of nature. Cell Service was great so staying connected to GPS was very helpful.

We came to the area for the fall foliage- the “treehouse” was perfect accommodations The owner sent an email as soon as we booked to welcome us and the property manager sent a text on the checkin date to give us contact info if needed - I so appreciated their attention to kind gestures ! I would definitely recommend this property - it has such character and the grounds are beautiful
