Best Location! Mountain Retreat on 7 Acres w/ Pond

Welcome to The Ranch, your pet-friendly retreat nestled in the woods! This spacious 5 bdrm home offers ample outdoor space & stunning views perched above a stocked trout pond. Experience the perfect blend of relaxation & adventure, with the ski resort just 6 miles away and the charming village of Stowe just minutes from your door. Hike, bike, enjoy local food, breweries or unwind at home. Whether seeking outdoor activities or peaceful moments, the Ranch is your ideal getaway in every season. The home does not feel pretentious or fancy - but is the perfect mix of an inviting family-friendly space and welcoming and cozy Vermont getaway. The main floor has had many new renovations including an all new entry way and 'great room' including all new kitchen appliances and countertops and newly refinished flooring... it feels very fresh! The house setting is among the most special pieces of the story. Nestled in the woods, the home is perched above a pond full of wildlife, and the hills surrounding the house seem to hug the home while extending an invitation to explore at the same time. There is a very special energy here... we hope you'll feel it too. The home is all yours for your time in Stowe with us, and you will have access via a keypad code at the entry. There is an apartment attached to the home. There is only one small shared wall that is in the entryway/mudroom of the home. The outdoor space is yours to use in full although we do ask the guests be mindful of others staying in the apartment and just not spend time around their outdoor living space, which is quite minimal comparatively. The only potential interaction possibility would be in the driveway. I am available via email/airbnb platform/mobile phone at any time during your stay but will not otherwise be on property. Occasionally I do some woodwork/picture framing cuts in the barn... but very rarely. The home is set in the woods off of a short dirt road that services 8 homes in total - but you'll only see a few of them. There is a community pond, however only 3 of the homes have waterfront on the pond... ours being one of them. Our little 'neighborhood' is only a few short minutes from all of the favorite spots in Stowe... Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe Mountain Resort and the Historic Village. It feels worlds away but it so conveniently located to all. We're just over the hill from Trapp Family Lodge so in the Summer months and on NYE when they have fireworks shows you'll be able to see them from the dining room window. :) You'll need a vehicle - there is nothing walking distance except the pond and any walking through the woods you'd like to do. In the Summer our trails connect into the Cady Hill Trails for Mt Biking access. Our driveway is definitely snowy and can be icy in the Winter - please plan accordingly with snow tires... there will be no getting up the road/driveway without snow tires. AWD/4WD definitely recommended because you never know when a big snow storm will come! Fingers crossed. :) The barn has nothing of any use except in its quaint visual setting on the property - and is used by the homeowner for storage - so we ask guests to please respect that space and stay out of it.

We had an amazing stay as the house and property were perfect for our family summer vacation. We loved relaxing out back by the pond with its peaceful view, and the big front yard was perfect for playing with our dog. The location couldn’t be better since it's just a short drive to downtown Stowe, Stowe Mountain, good hikes, and several great breweries we enjoyed visiting. The home was comfortable, well-kept, and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!
