Island Pond Century Home
Charming fully furnished four bedroom home. Stained glass windows, custom woodwork. Three lovely porches. Steps away from covered bridge to town. Access VAST trail from your driveway. 20 miles to Burke, 10 miles to Silvio O Conte Wildlife Refuge. Attention Cyclists and Birders! Situated up on the hill in town. This sweet lady is a charming old beauty built in 1907. We have used her gently for our vacation home for over a decade. The entire home, upstairs and down are available to guests including a fully furnished kitchen and dining room. Four bedrooms are available upstairs, a full bath, as well as a common room at the top of the stairs that leads out to a balcony. Downstairs : Living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath. We have pulled our blankets out and slept in the common room upstairs on summer nights just to enjoy the fresh air. Please remember that there are no parties allowed. We live in Alaska and can be contacted through this site, (EMAIL HIDDEN) We will get back with you within 24 hours. Our neighbors, Alan, a 7th generation Vermonter and his wife BJ will be your onsite hosts. They are a great source of local knowledge. VAST trail access is just up the street from your driveway. A recently restored footbridge makes traveling to downtown about a 5-minute walk. There is a grocery store at the bottom of the footbridge. Summertime Friday night live music and food vendors in the park. Winter events and festivals. One of the best kept secrets in the neighborhood is seasonally operated "Jesse's Little Kitchen" Nightly specials, pasta, pizza, Italian sandwiches, salads, wonderful fresh pies (which sell out early, so order them ahead of time if possible). Jesse operates her business in a huge Victorian home about a block from the house. There is no bus or train service. We rent a car in Boston, or Manchester NH and drive up. Boston is about four hours, Manchester 2.5 Hours. The drive is beautiful and once outside of Boston, the traffic is light. We have central heating which can also be switched to circulate cool air from the cellar throughout the house in the summer months. Screens are provided, and we enjoy the cool evening breezes at night.
