Mountain Springs Retreat

Recharge in this serene retreat cradled in 18 lovely acres with two spring fed ponds and inspiring views all around. Lounge in a hammock and grill on a generous deck overlooking the swimming pond; enjoy sunrise and sunset over fall foliage; in winter, a crackling fire after sledding, baking, or movies. The stars shine brightly on a clear night with all constellations and the Milky Way highly visible. Here you will find peace and well-being, whether on vacation or working remotely. The space We aim to make sure you are comfortable!There is a large master bedroom with its own deck for star gazing. The large bedroom also has a portable AC. A more intimate first floor bedroom with gorgeous views, and a sleeping loft with sleeper sofa and two inflatable queen mattresses. There's a gorgeous Vermont Castings wood burning stove in the living room plus a contemporary gas fireplace in the dining room. The house is oriented toward the southern light in a partly forested partly grassy watershed whose many natural springs feed two ponds. The wrap around deck makes the space flow seamlessly indoors and outdoors to enjoy views in every direction. Guest access You will have access to the entire house and 18 acres of land except for the basement and a few closets. Other things to note Please note that washer/dryer is not available for shorter stays (less than 5 nights) so pack accordingly. Please let us know beforehand if you need to use the EV charger. For now, there is AC in only the upstairs bedroom (Most of the Summer it’s not needed). Also, be aware that this is a rural setting so expect animals such as deer, foxes, wild turkeys, skunks, porcupines, coyotes, frogs, and even the occasional bear on the property and also, you are likely to hear gunshots as hunting is popular in the area. As in all of upstate NY, you need to check for ticks after a hike in the woods. While the house is well insulated and all windows and doors screened, be aware that insects such as moths may find their way inside. In short, this is a country property and its nested in beautiful nature as far as the eye can see!
