Wonderful VT Get Away, Great Family Fun, with WiFi.

This newly constructed (2002) Vermont Cape is located on 50 very private acres of rolling open grasslands and pristine woodlands with breathtaking views of Mount Mansfield and Vermont's Green Mountains. You'll pass several dairy farms as you find your way to this one of a kind escape location. Situated on a ridge spanning the townships of Greensboro, Craftsbury and Hardwick, this home affords all the comforts of a luxury resort while allowing for all the solitude and peace of mind of an alpine camping trip. The home features beautiful exposed beams, hardwood floors throughout, custom built cabinets, plus a large fireplace. Activities for all seasons abound outside your front door. In summer, there is swimming, biking and hiking; in winter, cross country skiing, sledding and snowmobiling. For lake lovers in the summer, Caspian Lake in Greensboro is only 5 minutes away. For downhill lovers in winter, Stowe and Jay Peak are less than an hour away.

New to the home, in response to popular demand, is WiFi.

This home sleeps 14 comfortably with six bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Included are: downstairs master bedroom with full bath, fireplace, king size bed, and walk in closet; downstairs guest bedroom with full bath and queen size bed; two upstairs bedrooms with queen beds; one upstairs bedroom with two twin beds; upstairs dormitory with four beds. The upstairs also includes two full baths, and a family game and exercise room with television.

The downstairs layout is open. There is an expansive kitchen complete with all modern amenities (two ovens), which leads to a dining area, which leads to a living room with a large brick fireplace. Also included downstairs is a pantry room with washer and dryer and second refrigerator, a separate library and television room with satellite reception, a 1/2 bath for guests, and a warm storage area for coats, boots and winter gear.

For the spring through fall months, there is a large screened in porch with separate dining and sitting areas.

There's more. For the warmer months there is an in-ground pool, complete with patio and pool house that includes a changing room, and outdoor shower. Also, there is an outdoor basketball court. A two car garage is attached to the main house, separated by a cold mud room.

Greensboro is in the center of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, rich with cultural activities and Vermont charm. Within miles, in every direction, there are countless hiking, biking, skiing and snowmobiling trails. There are numerous lakes to fish and swim, and nearby Barr Hill preserve offers spectacular views of both the Green Mountains of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hampshire and welcomes picnickers. Antique stores can be found in every town.

Burlington is 1 1/4 hrs away; Montpelier is only a 40 minute drive. Downhill skiing at Stowe or Jay Peak is 1 hour away. The hub of Vermont's local food movement is here, with several organic farmers and cheese makers offering their produce at local food markets and outdoor stands. And, of course, all can be found and had at Willey's General Store in Greensboro. The cafe at the Highland Arts Center in Greensboro and the Positive Pie restaurant in Hardwick offer some of Vermont's finest dining. Summer months offer a Sunday night concert series on Caspian Lake, and family fun at Circus Smirkus. There is also golf and tennis, open to guests, at the Green Mountain Country Club in Greensboro.

Lovely farmhouse in the Northeast Kingdom
We stayed for a week with a group of friends. The house is spacious and comfortable. The owner, Tom, was in touch by phone and was very helpful. The weather didn’t cooperate for half the week but we were able to use the pool on the non-rainy days. There are many areas to hike and bike nearby. We really enjoyed our trip and would love to return.

Beautiful views, comfortable home
Our families of 10 adults had a wonderful time. The house is well-designed and very comfortable. Thanks to the heatwave, we spent most of our time in the pool. The kitchen had everything we needed, and more, which was great for enjoying everything from the various farm stands we came across on our day trips. The views are just wonderful at any time of day or night.

Wonderful family reunion location with beautiful views and space for all!
This is a beautiful property, large enough to comfortably accommodate a big group, but still retaining the charm of a country cabin. We came to Vermont to see the eclipse and needed a place to fit 6 adults and 3 children. This home had room to spare. We had everything we needed for a long weekend. The host is incredibly nice and helpful as were the folks in town (despite being overrun with crazy out-of-towners like us for the event). The home is on a dirt road which was very well maintained (even after a surprise early April snowstorm that ended the day we arrived). Our kids enjoyed playing in the snow and riding sleds down the small hill in the yard. We enjoyed several family dinners prepared in the beautiful kitchen and gathered around the large dining table. Evenings doing puzzles by the fire were a highlight for all ages as well. We very much look forward to coming back one day to enjoy this place in the summertime (and checking out the pool).

Wonderful place for a large group
This is a stunning home on a large scenic property in picturesque rural Vermont. The house had all the space and features we needed for our group XC ski trip with 14 adults. Bedrooms were very comfortable, and importantly, it had enough bathrooms for everyone. The large well-stocked kitchen (all the cookware and decent knives!) and dining room was a highlight for our group meals. The library, game room, and ping pong table in the basement were also great. The working fireplace in the living room made our winter stay extra cozy for group social time after skiing. I hope we can come back in the summer to use the pool, porch, and more of the property! Snow tires are highly recommended in the winter as this is on a hilly rural dirt road about 4.5mi from Hardwick center and some distance from any main road. Minor things could be improved - a couple bathrooms were low on toilet paper with no extra stock, and most had no hand or bath soap/conditioner. The host apologized but said he expected guests to replace TP. When you pay thousands to rent a home I expect they maintain these basics, no? They also ask guests to wash and dry all towels before checkout to save cleaning staff time. Last, they need to clarify checkout time - VRBO listing said 11am, the host said 10:30am, then the cleaners showed up at 10am. 10am is unusually early. The host was very responsive to our questions and easy to communicate with throughout. He also helped us retrieve an item we left behind! Thanks Tom!

Great spot for larger groups in the NEK!
This was our 6th year doing a winter friends weekend in the NEK and our third straight year staying at this house. It's great for large groups - tons of bedrooms and bathrooms and a huge open kitchen/living room area so people can hang out together when they want and take their own space when they want. The kitchen is well-equipped with supplies and the second oven and especially the second fridge in the laundry are super helpful. Looking forward to next year!

Hardwick Vt. Family Vacation
The house was a great place to get away. More than large enough for our group of twelve family members. A quiet well supplied place to gather. The owner, Tom went above and beyond to give us information about the house and the surrounding area. The house was well furnished and a beautiful place to be. We would stay there again if we ever travel in that area again. Great stay.

Wonderful house and vacation
Our three families, totally 9, (ages 13-79) really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home and property. The home was very clean, spacious and included all the necessities we needed for the week. The open floor plan allowed us to easily communicate from the kitchen to the living room area. The kitchen was FULLY equipped with everything you would need for eating, cooking, baking and plenty of dishware. Even though the house is in a rural area (bonus), there were no issues with the WiFi. Our favorite room was the huge screened in porch where we enjoyed happy hour, watching rain storms and beautiful sunsets. It also contains another long dining table where we spent evenings playing games. Since we visited in August (12th-19th), we were fortunate to enjoy the yummy blueberries on the property. Our baking guru's made blueberry pancakes, scones, bruckle, and a delicious blueberry pie. Tom Cummins, property owner, was excellent in communicating with us at ALL times and providing essential information about the house, specific directions to the house and entry. He was also kind enough to provide us with lots of general information about the area (shopping, great places to eat, etc.).....all great recommendations. One update: The Grand Union is now a TOPS. The property has an inviting pool, however, due to rain and cooler days and night-time temps, our family didn't use it. Overall, this is a wonderful property and location!! Michelle S.

The house and property were wonderful. Lots of great spaces, indoors and outdoors to gather. We loved hanging out at the pool, preparing meals in the well equipped kitchen and eating on the screened porch. The location is spectacular with beautiful views and great walks right out the door. Our host was very responsive and gave of us lots of helpful information about the house and the area.

What a great location for Snowmobiling
The house was very nice and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. There were 6 guys all Snowmobilers and we just loved it. House had everything you would need to spend the weekend or a week. We have decided that it is going to be our annual weekend getaway at the house. Siting by the fire after a long day of riding at -45 degrees outside was really nice. I would recommend it to anyone

Perfect spot for a large group
Stayed here with a group of 8 adults, skiing at Craftsbury. We were excited to visit based on the listing, but honestly, neither pictures nor description can do it justice - this house is beautiful, functional, well-stocked, with incredible views. The entire process was clear and easy, with good directions and instructions. The kitchen had everything we needed for large group meals, including multiple people cooking at once. Two ovens! Decent knives! Plenty of good pots and pans! I'm used to bringing my own kitchen stuff for a rental and I didn't need any of it. We experienced no issues with the house. Beds were comfy, showers worked well, plenty of hot water, parking, storage, fridge space, counter space, couches. We could all be in one space all at once, or have multiple groups doing their own thing in their own space. Best VRBO experience any of us have had. Great easy access to Hardwick, Craftsbury, Greensboro, and if we come back folks will also stay here and go to Stowe, Jay, and Burke.
