Beautiful Vermont. Lovely village. Come for skiing, hiking, kayaking, dining and exploring. Then, return from your adventures to a comfortable home--fully equipped kitchen, fluffy towels, a comfy bed, speedy wi-fi, and a cosy gas fireplace. Our guests love the Gideon Lee House, a home away from home. Historical and also eco-friendly, this unique stone house has energy efficient appliances, air conditioning, solar panels and Tesla batteries. Come and enjoy Vermont! The space Hang your hat, take off your shoes, and walk in on the refinished pine floors to settle in and relax after your day in the country. Create dinner in the well-equipped kitchen while watching the sun set over the western hills. Or grill in the field down below and catch the sunset beyond the stream. Enjoy dinner around the farmhouse table and share your adventures of the day. Then move into the living room area for your choice of entertainment, or head outside for s'mores under the stars. Upstairs, the front master bedroom provides a quiet space for sleep and relaxation. The nearby office area has a desk and a sitting area. The comfy futon opens up to sleep one or two extra guests. Beyond the office, a delightful, bright bedroom hosts twin beds under the eves. Morning sun streams in and the day begins! Off the upstairs hallway, a full-sized bathroom with large shower, double sinks, and a washer and dryer is practical and up-to-date. Despite all the modern upgrades, we have tried to keep the charm and quaint "quirkiness" of the house, built in 1840 for Gideon Lee, his wife Nancy and their children. Guest access We live in a separate area beyond the garage in the converted barn. Guests have use of the whole Stone House with their own entryway. The lovely private field down below is available for games, tossing a ball, and sitting around the fire-pit. Other things to note The Gideon Lee house was built in 1840 by the Clark brothers using local stone, gneiss and mica schist. It sparkles in the sunlight! We have renovated and restored it to maintain its character. Solar panels on the barn roof off set the electric bill. The appliances are all new, as is the wiring, plumbing, heating system and air conditioning units. Even so, it has bumpy floors, some rough woodwork and lots of charm! We love the deep, recessed windows and the light that fills the house. We have enjoyed furnishing it with family antiques, original artwork, and local finds. We hope you enjoy the experience of living in a unique stone house, lovingly restored to a comfortable home, perfect for families, singles and couples.
