Wonderful spot with personal touches
This was a great place to stay for a ski trip in Stratton - it was about 30 minutes to drive to the mountain, but along beautiful roads with lovely scenery. The house is well supplied with high quality cooking supplies - love the handy notes on items reminding us to use filtered water or wooden utensils in order to take care of them! Hot tub was great for sore muscles from skiing, and the master bedroom is enormous. This is really a mini-retreat center.
