Private Tavern, Hot Tub, 8-Fireplaces, Spa Baths, Fire Pit, Baths Ensuite - Shop or Ski!

This is the Blue Door Farm, a Gertrude Rentals property. Enormous “Camp-like” property with 18ft Pool (above-ground), Hot-tub, Hiking Trails, Meadow Games, Pond in the Woods, 5 Spa-baths, 8 Fireplaces, 5 full and 3 half baths, commercial caliber Cellar-Tavern with Stone Fireplace, sun-deck, stained glass windows, chefs kitchen, huge All-season Sunroom, lush tapestry curtains, antiques and oriental rugs, and amazing bedding and mattresses. Set on 10 acres with unfettered access to 400,000 acres of forest once enjoyed by Kipling and Frost near the top Skiing, Shopping, Golf, & Restaurants in the Green Mountains!

Activities - Onsite: Pool (above-ground 18' wide x 4' deep), fire pit drum circles, cornhole ladders & croquet, pond in the woods, basement bocce, chalk murals on the old shed, hikes and discovery walks, and bird feeder building. Nearby: swimming holes & waterfalls, fishing, railway hikes, farms, adventure parks, the Battenkill, the VAST, the Appalachian Trail, and Golf to name a few.

Location - ""Shaantipoorn ekaant"": a rare combination of solitude and creature comfort. This is going to be easy, you deserve this. Set in the Green Mountain National Forest with amazing star gazing, mineral water straight from the faucet into your coffee tea or bath and no stoplights, but with WiFi, paved roads, cell-service, a grocer, a liquor store, and incredible shopping skiing and dining. Ski four top mountains - Bromley, (3 miles), Magic (6 miles), Stratton (13 miles), or Okemo (18 miles). Shop 40 Manchester retailers just 12 miles away. Eat at four Michelin quality restaurants and find six more family-friendly eats within 6 miles. If you prefer to stay onsite you can enjoy an outdoor hot-tub on the meadow, a walk in the forest, a drink and a book in a spa-bath or in front of a fireplace, or hit your private tavern for drinks and bocce-ball giant-Jenga or croquet. This place will really put your stress triggers on pause. Six thousand square feet of interior space and thousands of acres to get lost in:)

History –The Blue Door Farm was formerly known as the Nordic Inn. It is listed in the Vermont Nordic Ski Hall of Fame, and fondly remembered by locals and initiated travelers as the place to go to do anything from falling in love and getting engaged, to celebrating/reuniting with old friends and family. Since its renovation the Blue Door Farm, now private, has hosted a wide variety of groups including - Reiki water-healing and other wellness retreats, the Burton Snowboard family, a Bollywood star, the twin baby stars of Diane Keaton's movie Baby Boom (filmed nearby), a former NYC Chief of Police, a Para-Olympic gold medalist, and even a “partial” reunion for an 80s band with a multi-platinum album.

Blue Door Farm is a great house, we loved the little pub in the basement. Everything you need to let your family enjoy quaint, quiet, quality time together. Don't miss Taylor Farms if you have little ones or Mike and Tammy's fried chicken any time or the donuts on Sunday, maple are the best.

A Truly Phenomenal Experience
This was an amazing property. The beauty of it made for a truly wonderful weekend experience! The initial booking was smooth and effortless. Communication with the host was stellar from start to finish! When we arrived two of the caretakers were on site to greet us. They thanked us for choosing to stay, offered to help with getting settled, and gave us vital advice on preventing bobcats and bears from being attracted. hey even left some farm fresh eggs for us! Our first stop on our setup tour (we arrived a day before the remaining guests) was the cottage. It was absolutely beautiful and my opinion, the online description does not do it justice. The main house was a dream. The layout was enchanting, with great flow and perfect light and a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were stunning and comfortable. The would be any home cooks ideal place to create amazing meals. Our favorite places were the sunroom and the tavern. This was an absolutely perfect vacation. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. This is definitely a property that far outshines its advertisements.

good bang for the buck, but a little banged up
Pros: a bunch of relatively equal bedrooms pretty well equipped kitchen very good value rate rental super close to bromley Cons: everything was a little run down, particularly the cottage bedrooms and the tavern room, which was still fun but a little dingy. Nothing crazy but some signs of moisture here and there, maybe a knob falls off the stove, just a little banged up. still an incredible price considering how many people it holds.

Great House for a family gathering
I couldn’t be happier with our stay at Blue Door Farm and Cottage! They truly want you to just relax and enjoy your time with loved ones. The house has everything you need it’s comfortable, cozy, with tons of activities from outdoor activities(trails behind the house, rock wall, fire pit and a place to play a good family football game and we can’t forget the hot tub) to indoor (pool table, ping pong, chess, Jenga.) My family made tons of memories this weekend and can’t wait to stay again!

GREAT PROPERTY FOR A FAMILY TRIP
This house is perfect for a large group! We stayed at Blue Door Farm for our Annual Family Ski Trip. We were a group of 16, ages 1-76, and this house had something for everyone. Our 20-year-olds loved the bar area. The house had a couple of nice sitting rooms and a good sized kitchen making it easy for us all to be together BUT also providing separate spaces. The house had every kitchen utensil, pot, pan, we needed plus amazing stoves and appliances. We ate just about every meal there, and the well-equipped Kitchen made it very easy to prepare meals for a group our size. The yard was huge, and the house has a large firepit and hot tub area. It was wonderful that we could bring our dog, who especially enjoyed the outside space. Dan is a great host and was very fast with their responses to our questions. I highly recommend this rental and the comments were unanimous from my family were that they would love to go back to this house next year.

Our group of nine women fit more than comfortably into this large comfortable home. The setting is absolutely picturesque. The rooms are large, and the bedrooms have attached bathrooms, making everybody most comfortable with their accommodations. The kitchen is large and accommodated our group perfectly. It is very well appointed having everything we needed to dine in. We enjoyed the large fire pit nightly and the hot tub regularly. Great location just outside of Manchester.

Spent the most perfect time here!
This property is a great choice. First of all, the check in process was extremely easy and quick, which was amazing since it was a bit late when we arrived and had no energy to deal with check in issues, so this was a super plus. Also, the host was so helpful and quick to answer my husband a couple questions we had and it made everything run even smoothly. Now going into the actual house, it was just absolutely the best! Each room has a bathroom with a good size if not huge clean bathtubs, and super comfortable mattresses and sheets, the kitchen had everything we needed, we had a super delicious meal and it was an amazing time spent with my family… the basement had a pool table, fire place where we made s’mores 🤤 bar, tv, and a half bath, comfy couches and chairs in spacious room which was awesome for our kids to play in while we also had fun… also, about kids, we found it very thoughtful of Dan to leave highchairs and playpacks for babies, our little girl thanks him :) The hot tub also gave us a good time outside while it was a lil chilly 🔥😆 well, we had a stay better than we could’ve thought, and we’re so thankful for every detail that made our time spent there just unforgettable! Hope to comeback soon:)

Blue Door Farm is a one of a kind rental. It is a beautiful property with lots of space outdoors and indoors. We had a family reunion week with 15 people from three generations. There was plenty of room. The bedrooms are comfortable, each with its own bathroom. There are plenty of common area spaces to accommodate everyone. Being there in the summer (early August) we spent a great deal of time outdoors on the lawn, by the fire pit, in the hot tub and pool, and eating our meals at the extended picnic table on the patio. The chef's kitchen was well utilized during our week. Dan is a wonderful host. We highly recommend this property for large groups.

Great ski getaway
Weekend with friends - 6 families. The house was incredible... everything we needed and more! Very well stocked. Everything we needed to cook and grill. A large outside firepit, hot tub and basement tavern kept everyone entertained each night. Host communication was top notch and he obviously cared that we had everything we needed. A++! Stratton was only a short drive away and Bromley is only a few minutes away for those who ski. We'll be back!

Great Weekend Getaway
We had an amazing time at Blue Door Farm. The house was great for a group - we spent most of our time at the house in the kitchen, in the tavern playing games and watching football, and in the hot tub. There was plenty of space for our group to be comfortable. It was really nice to have a bedroom and separate bathroom for every couple. The only issue all weekend is the heating in the house. In such a big house, it's really difficult to regulate the temperature when there are so few thermostats, especially in the bedrooms on the 3rd floor. It was either 90 degrees in the bedrooms, or freezing cold in the kitchen. There is also very little insulation in some areas, so it was pretty drafty at times. It didn't take away from our experience, just feedback. The property is absolutely gorgeous, I would love to come back in the summer too! Thank you!
