Vermont's Mountain Villa: Hot tub, Ski views, Pet+

**PANORAMIC MTN VIEWS** with gorgeous sunrises, sunsets & stargazing experiences. Newly installed Hot tub open all year round!

Nestled on the top of Andover Ridge, at an elevation of 2500 ft, this is the last house on the hill sitting on a 3 acres of lush green wooded area. May it be summer fall or winter, the views of the Green Mountains cant get any better from this mountain top home. One is close to 4 ski resorts (Okemo, Stratton, Bromley & Magic Mtns) & Green Mountain National Forest ALL within a 30 min drive.

The house is a 4 bedroom/3 bath with a massive loft total of 2600 sq ft of living space. An architecturally contemporary and unique stay with an open floor plan for the kitchen/dining/living area is perfect to entertain family and friends. Moon Hill Retreat comes with an 800 sqft master bedroom with mountain views and a private marble fireplace. Have you imagined waking up to the floating clouds at your level?

This privately owned house is a retreat for folks to enjoy and relax in the woods while experiencing luxury indoors. Amenities include a stone fireplace, wet bar, kitchen island, skylights, and sliders to an expansive deck.

The house has a unique rooftop at the highest level which can be accessed (with permission of the host if not raining or frosty) for witnessing the 360 mountain views. Open only seasonal & prior requests while booking.

We are looking forward for you to enjoy our place as much as we do and make memories for a lifetime!

WINTER:
As you'd imagine, you have decided to stay on a mountain top to enjoy what it's best known for. You absolutely need to have a 4-wheel drive during winter to drive up the house. Our caretakers do a great job plowing, snow cleaning, blowing, and ensuring the road is clean but in the event of heavy snow, a 2-wheel drive will be difficult.

We are dog-lovers ourselves and welcome dogs and cats at our house.

SMOKING:
This is no smoking house and any kind of smoking is strictly prohibited.

The video is motion activated, but can be checked at any time by the hosts via live feed. Any attempt at disabling or obscuring the cameras is prohibited.

Beautiful hilltop home
We thoroughly enjoyed the location of this property. Beautiful home with many windows and a nice deck providing great viewing opportunities. It was close to many hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls, and the sunset views were very nice to return to each evening. The host was very helpful and we would definitely stay here again if we returned to this area.

BEST RENTAL FOR VERMONT
We had the most amazing stay at moon hill. The house was breathtaking and the views it had to offer were beautiful. Perfect location for skiing, not too close so you can enjoy nature and quiet but not too far that you can get right to the mountain in the morning. Definitely recommend thank you so much moon hill!!

Beautiful Location and close to several towns
We really enjoyed our stay at Moon Hill. We work remotely and stayed at the house for 3 weeks. Vivek was always easy to get in touch with and quickly answered our questions and requests. The house was quite spacious for the two of us, but we had enough room to setup two offices and not be in each others way. The internet speed was perfect for our jobs. We thoroughly enjoyed vermont.
