1-bedroom walkout basement apartment with French doors that open onto a private patio. It is located at Log Heaven, a full scribe Log Home on 10 beautiful acres in Royalton Vermont. We are close to I-89, the White River, Silver Lake , Saskadena Ski Area, and Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park . You need to travel on a gravel road which by VT standards is well maintained for 1.5-3 miles depending which direction you travel. We are 45 min to Killington Ski Resort, 1 hr to Okemo Ski area. The apartment has full kitchen (no dishwasher) and bath, large open living /dining area, bedroom with queen bed , futon for extra guests, outdoor gas grill, and patio seating. There is access to laundry facilities and exercise equipment . Outdoor area offer trails for hiking or snowshoeing, perennial gardens, and outdoor fire pit. We have extra snowshoes and the wood for the fire pit is at no charge. You have your own separate apartment with patio and grill but have access to the laundry room and treadmill in the other part of the basement. You are also welcome to utilize trails and enjoy the property and the upper covered porch as well. We live upstairs, you are welcome to walk up the inside basement stairs and knock on the door to say hello. No need to walk outside and around the house :) Please let me know if you need anything, such as more paper goods, a specific kitchen pan or utensil that is not there, if something is malfunctioning or questions about heat. Please check with me regarding use of washer and dryer. Our house sits on 10 acres on a gravel road, but it is less than 5 miles from Interstate 89. Friendly neighbors abound, sharing in the creation and use of the trails, and giving a friendly wave to people passing by. While central Vermont is a great place for biking, unless you are an avid cyclist, you will need a vehicle. The gravel road is well maintained since it is a school bus route but be aware it can sometimes be rough due to recent weather. Four or all wheel drive is strongly recommended in the winter months and good road clearance during mud season. Did you know that Vermont has 5 seasons! Anyone who has been to real Vermont knows that a large percent of town roads are gravel. If you do not want to get your car dusty please book at a place that is on a paved road. If you plan to bring a dog you must contact me first before booking. We allow well behaved dogs, no cats. There will be a doggy towel on the hook at the door to dry off wet muddy paws before letting the pooch run around the apartment. My definition of a well behaved dog is one that is house broken, does not climb or sleep on furniture or beds. It does not scratch doors or furniture and can come when called. If your dog cannot be called off of chasing something such as an animal like a chicken, it must be on a leash. I also expect you to be in control of your dog at all times which means if you plan to leave the premises and leave your dog behind it must be crated unless you speak with me first. Winter Travel: Strongly suggest a 4 wheel or all wheel drive with good clearance and snow tires. Please contact me if you have questions. We live on a well maintained gravel road, but it is Vermont and I'm not in control of road conditions. Clean up after yourselves. Please remove shoes and boots in doorway. No skis or boards in the house. Boots can dry in the basement (we have a couple of boot dryers) You can pick vegetables and berries in season for what you need for your meal.
