Four Nights at High Meadow, Shrewsbury, Vermont:
Situated on 125 secluded acres with panoramic 225-degree views and looking west towards the Adirondack Mountains, this Vermont estate has everything you could want for outdoor adventures and family activities. Abutting and surrounded on all four sides by the 12,500-acre Calvin Coolidge State Forest, nature rules this property. The famous Catamount Trail, a cross-county ski trail that runs the length of the state, passes directly next to the driveway and there is a private 6-km trail system on the property for leisurely walks, snowshoeing or a vigorous cross-country ski adventure with one trail leading to the summit cabin offering 300-degree views while sitting on the porch. For downhill skiing, the new and luxurious Jackson Gore base lodge of Okemo is 25 minutes away, and Killington Mountain, with more than 200 trails, is only 35 minutes by car. If relaxation is what you would like - or following a long day on the slopes - the house boasts a 35-foot tall stone fireplace and a billiards table in the Gathering Room, perfect for aprés ski. There is also a fitness room and sauna, new kitchen with all amenities, media room for movie night, two dining area options, and an outdoor fireplace to take in the world class sunsets. Lastly, though you are blissfully secluded on the property, one of the oldest general stores of Vermont of over 100 years old is just down the road and offers all the charm you could imagine and the best fresh-baked scones and muffins to grab on your way to the slopes! 5 bedrooms, 8 guests. This item is available for a 4-night long weekend stay during the period from October 1, 2017 through April 1, 2018, with the exception of November 18-25, December 16-30, 2017 and February 16-20, 2018.
