Nestled in the serene landscape of Newfane Vermont, midway between Stratton and Mt. Snow mountain resorts, this charming riverfront house is the perfect retreat for families and dog lovers alike. With three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, this contemporary three-level home sits on three secluded acres and offers ample room for relaxation and adventure. Just across the quiet street, you’ll find private access to the West River, where you can swim, kayak, or simply enjoy the tranquil sounds of nature from the dock and seating area.
The interior of the house is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring a cozy wood stove and a gas fireplace to keep you warm during chilly evenings. The large deck is perfect for outdoor dining or lounging, while two additional balconies—one off the bedroom and another off the living room—provide stunning views and a peaceful place to unwind. Open the sliders to the bedroom balcony at night and let the soothing sounds of the flowing river lull you to sleep.
This property is not just a house; it’s a place where creativity flourished, as an award-winning author penned her best-selling book "Learning to Swim" while living here. With amenities like WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a firepit for evening gatherings, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable stay.
Located midway between Stratton and Mt. Snow, this home offers easy access to skiing and outdoor activities year-round.
