Secluded Vermont Log Cabin with Waterfalls-View-Pond-EV Outlet

This log cabin located in the heart of southern Vermont conveniently abuts Mount Snow and the Green Mountain National Forest. Next to the cabin, a cold water mountain stream rushes down exposed bedrock. Relax to the sounds of the stream from within the comfort of the screened porch while taking in views of foliage and mountains. The long driveway with a pond located midway ensures a quiet and peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, while also providing easy access to town and mountain resort activities.

The cabin is energy efficient, modern, and comfortable yet rustic and simple in design. Whole house heating and cooling is supplied to each room by a ducted geothermal heat pump. A fiber line and mesh router provides fast and reliable internet throughout all areas of the home. The cabin is also equipped with a fast charging electric vehicle outlet that provides up to 40 miles of charge per hour.

Listen to music from the house audio system with in-wall speakers that connect to a phone, tablet, or computer device via Airplay. Speakers are located in the great room, loft, and kitchen. Cook food quickly and efficiently on the induction stove while enjoying your favorite tunes. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, and dishes.

Smart and dimmable lighting is used throughout the cabin. The 60" TV located in the basement room uses an Apple TV to provide access to Netflix and other streaming services - no cable.

The Carinthia base area at Mount Snow is accessible either by the widened shoulder along the road, or by a walking trail behind the home. Carinthia is the terrain park portion of Mount Snow with lots of rails, pipes, and jumps. Snowshoe through the woods or ski back to the cabin if there is enough snow in the woods. Experts only!

The forest behind the home has been conserved. Animal travel from the upland forest to the preserved wetlands and river located across the street can make for interesting wildlife viewing. Beyond the conserved woods surrounding the home is the Green Mountain National Forest where there are fishing, paddling, hunting, back-country skiing, camping, swimming, and hiking opportunities. Somerset Lake, Grout Pond, Mount Snow, Haystack, Bromley, and Stratton are all located within the GMNF.

The Valley Trail is located at the end of the cabin driveway on Handle Road. This trail leads to Mount Snow and to the trail network located in the town of Dover. The Valley Trail is great for hiking, mountain biking, walking your dog, pickleball, and frisbee golf.

Historic homes, trail heads, and the Mount Snow and Hermitage Club ski resorts are located nearby on Handle Road. The Mount Snow is located .5 miles north of the cabin and the Hermitage Club is located is 2 miles to the south. Restaurants, ski lifts, lodges, bars, golf courses, and shops are all easily accessible. The town of Dover is close by and the town of Wilmington is a 10 minute drive from the house.

The cabin has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a loft. There is a bathroom on each floor. Two of the bedrooms each have one queen sized bed, and the third bedroom has a single bed and a bunk-bed. Every bedroom has heating and cooling, as well as a window that opens towards the waterfalls, so that you can enjoy the sounds as you sleep.

The cabin was sustainably constructed out of wood logs. It is all-electric with the exception of the clothes dryer. The energy mix of the grid power supplied to the home is 100% carbon free, sourced primarily from renewable energy. Drive your EV and enjoy a zero-emission vacation!

This cabin is ideal for travelers that want a private, modern, and peaceful place to comfortably experience nature while knowing that their stay has minimal environmental impact. I hope you have a wonderful visit to this Vermont cabin getaway. Enjoy quiet nights by the outdoor fire pit accompanied by the gentle rush of the nearby stream, while tree frogs and crickets peep throughout the night.
