A freestanding cottage on a historic Vermont estate, built around a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace and wrapped in William Morris botanical wallpaper — private, enclosed, and unlike any other cottage in central Vermont. A queen bed, full kitchen, private deck and fire pit, Boyer State Forest trail access from the door, and an outdoor sauna with reserved sessions. 12 minutes from Montpelier, 41 from Sugarbush, 43 from Stowe. The space The living area centers on the fireplace — floor-to-ceiling fieldstone, the defining feature of the room. Opposite it, a corduroy sofa sits against the William Morris Pimpernel wallpaper, its deep navy botanical pattern wrapping three walls around the sleeping area and spilling onto the wall behind the couch. An antique ox cart coffee table sits between them, worn smooth and genuinely old. The sloped ceiling gives the room an intimate, enclosed quality. The sleeping area is tucked into the wallpapered end of the cottage — a queen bed, warm amber light, and the sense of being thoroughly inside somewhere. Bedside lamps include USB charging ports. In the kitchen, two antique brass flame sconces flank the walls, giving the room its evening character. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need. A small cafe table with two metal chairs on the private deck is where mornings happen — string lights surrounding, mountain view in front of you. Below the deck, a private fire pit sits on the grass in front of the stone wall, with two solid cedar Adirondack chairs. The cottage and its outdoor spaces are entirely yours. The bathroom carries the cottage's character through — mustard yellow walls, botanical toile shower curtain. Boyer State Forest trail access begins directly from the property — hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing from the door. An outdoor wood sauna sits on the stone patio just outside — low string lights around the patio, mountain views in front of you, two teak loungers for cooling down between rounds. It seats four on two-tiered benching with interior lighting and a full glass door. In winter, the snow is right there — step out, roll in it, go back in. That's the whole point. The sauna is shared between both Boyer Estate properties and reserved exclusively online — your session is private, with no overlap from other guests. Booking details sent to confirmed guests before arrival. The Earhart Cottage is a freestanding building on Boyer Estate, situated on the other side of the garage from the Meadow Suite.

High speed Wi-Fi throughout. 100% cotton sheets, full towels, and all bathroom and kitchen essentials provided. Drip coffee maker with complimentary coffee, tea, creamers, and sugar ready and waiting. A pack-and-play is available in the closet for families with infants — please bring your own crib bedding. Guest access You'll access the cottage via keypad — your door code will be sent prior to arrival. A Ring doorbell is located at the front door of the main house if you need to reach us directly. The cottage and its surrounding outdoor spaces are entirely yours for your stay, including the private deck, fire pit, and Boyer State Forest trails directly from the property. Other things to note The property is situated on a dirt road. In winter (December through March) expect snowpack and occasional icy patches — AWD or 4WD with snow tires or quality all-season tires is strongly recommended. Most guests with appropriate vehicles have no issues. During Vermont's mud season (typically late March through early May), a portion of the road the property is on will close. This does not affect arrival from the interstate, which is how most guests will be coming. Full routing details are included in your pre-arrival message after booking. This is a strictly pet-free property. We maintain this standard to ensure every guest arrives to a clean, hair-free, allergen-free space. We conduct thorough inspections between every stay. Undisclosed pets will result in an additional deep-cleaning fee charged through Airbnb's resolution center and may affect your guest standing.
