Magical Retreat Cottage – A Tranquil Escape in the Green Mountains

Crafted in 2023 by skilled Vermont artisans, this eco-friendly retreat embodies the perfect harmony of nature and modern design. Featuring a stunning timber frame and expansive glass windows, the cottage offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forested hills. Whether you're unwinding by the cozy gas fireplace after a day on the slopes or simply seeking a peaceful escape, this serene haven provides the perfect environment to relax and rejuvenate.

Designed to reflect the natural beauty and tranquility of the land, the cottage is nestled between two pristine brooks, with the soothing sound of cascading waterfalls filling the air—even with the windows closed. On warm days, take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear pools just a short walk from the house.

Even while indoors—resting, cooking, or planning your next adventure—you are immersed in the beauty of the Green Mountains. If you wake early and stay alert, you’ll likely spot local wildlife foraging in the open field right in front of the cottage.

Modern Comforts & Thoughtful Design

Located just 15 minutes from Mount Snow and 30 minutes from Brattleboro and Stratton, this immaculate retreat was designed with sustainability in mind. Built with passive solar design, a state-of-the-art mini-split heat pump, and an eco-friendly direct vent propane fireplace, the home stays energy-efficient while ensuring a warm and inviting ambiance—perfect for a romantic getaway.

Situated on its own private road, the cottage features:

  • Spacious master bedroom loft
  • Second comfortable bedroom
  • Fully equipped kitchen with new quality appliances
  • Cozy dining and living area with an open floor plan
  • Smart TV on a rolling stand for flexible viewing
  • Large, south-facing deck overlooking a wildflower-filled field

In the warmer months, bring your swimsuits and explore the private brook and waterfalls, just 100-300 feet from the house along a scenic trail.
