Modern private home 30 acres w/ pool, river, billiards, & near 4 ski mtns

Welcome to Chestnut Lodge! An unpretentious woodland entrance hides a stunning space. Atop a sweeping hillside meadow, Chestnut Lodge sits in a park-like setting and spectacular views of neighboring mountains. Nestled among 30 private acres of woodlands, hillside, and the West River; the lodge is far enough from the bustle of the resort ski areas but an easy drive to skiing, hiking and everything the area has to offer.

The country kitchen features granite countertops, propane brick fireplace, and breakfast bar with stunning views through bay windows. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, silverware and appliances you need to fill the house with inviting scents to draw your family and friends into Chestnut Lodge from the great outdoors. The kitchen also provides direct access to an outdoor grilling deck and large screened in porch overlooking the private outdoor pool – perfect for summer fun in the mountain air all day long.

The main level provides a master bedroom suite right off the kitchen and features a king bed, spa tub and Jack and Jill vanity with a walk-in shower.

The House, Lands and View of this place are all amazing. Great for big family gathering to escape and rejoice and relax. We came to explore a bit of Vermont, which we did, but we also found ourselves reluctant to go out as the house and property were so captivating all on their own!

The house was just as described, we could walk from the property to the trail that was only a few hundred feet from one of the streams that feeds West River. The pool was a big hit! Not heated but the solar cover kept the water nice, and the grill down by the pool was great for having lunch. 3 generations truly enjoyed our stay and we were able to see some amazing wildlife. Lots of places to hike and enjoy the River and falls. Jelly mill falls was one of our favorites. Jordan was extremely receptive and accommodating, it was truly an amazing holiday♥️

Paradise
The property was easy to reach, and delightful to occupy. Amenities abound, and our five kids had no trouble occupying their time. Walking the property, we explored the length of the creek, discovering an old bridge and lots of animal trails. Fishing at Townsend park is picturesque, thrifting at second chance a treat! Easy access to groceries, coffee and fabulous scones. The kitchen is so well equipped that we decided to cook every night, even making a rhubarb pie from the garden. Cocktails on the second floor porch were picture-perfect. And s’mores over the fire pit made the evening for kids If you’ve never tried axe-throwing - here’s your chance. Two adults bulls-eyed after a dozen tries. The whole thing works though, because our host, Jordan was abundantly available . I’ve come to appreciate that the more I rent for the family- especially in remote locations. We felt entirely cared for. This is a place to relax, make memories, be healthy, and reflect in utter natural beauty.

An amazing property, perfect for our family reunion!
We booked our stay at the very last minute, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! Every member of our family, spanning ages 19 to 81, had an enchanting time. Despite a few rain showers, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with billiards, darts, and Foosball, organizing a spirited family tournament. We made use of every amenity the house offered, ensuring there was never a dull moment. When the weather allowed, we found ourselves in the sparkling pool and found great comfort in the shaded seating of the pool gazebo. Even on rainy days, the well-appointed living room provided a cozy spot to watch the clouds and mist weather roll through the Green Mountains. The serene beauty outside our windows made staying indoors a pleasure. In essence, we never felt the need to leave the property. Both Millennials and Baby Boomers alike were thoroughly pleased with our stay. Thank you once again for such a wonderful experience. We look forward to returning next year! Mike and Jo Heron

Everything was as expected. This property lived up to the dream! My family had a wonderfull time! My only complaint is caretakers could care a bit more for this house. No trash pick up between guests? Full bags of mulch never used (although not needed).Enjoyed the wildlife beautiful birds and we even saw a young bear snacking on the blueberries.

A Beautiful Wedding Venue
My now wife and I found this property back in November. We reached out to Jordan and Tabitha, who were very accommodating and let us take several tours of the house and property before our big day. When our wedding day finally came, they were very accommodating and lenient with us and our vendors. Several vendors could not pick up their equipment until a day after we left and Jordan and Tabitha had no issues with that. They definitely went above and beyond and made our wedding even more special. So many guests at our wedding commented on how beautiful and serene this property is, and we could not agree more. It truly felt like we were in our own world there.

Heaven in the Green Mountains
As we arrived we were awe struck by the property and the lush shades of green. Spring in Vermont is glorious! We were there for a graduation ceremony and the gamily and our dinner guests were all very comfortable and happy. The kitchen had all we needed to prepare a meal for a large group. The living and seating areas were plentiful so we could have different age groups having conversations. It was a bit early for the pool for me, but some of the family jumped in as the sun came out. The beds and pillow were super comfortable. Everyone slept great. If we have the opportunity to go back to the area we would definitely stay again. If you are lucky enough to stay at this house you will not be disappointed. Thank you for opening your lovely home. Valerie and Rick

Wet Summer Getaway
We booked this vacation not knowing we would be caught up in the heaviest rain Vermont would see in the past 20-30 years. With that being said, we chose the absolute perfect house for our stay. Jordan and Tabitha’s 30 acres of mountain paradise were better than advertised. Our 3 boys ranging in age from 5-13 had so much fun playing darts, pool, foosball and swimming, that the couple of day trips cancelled due to road closures, became an afterthought. Everything you could possibly need in a vacation is available at the house, which really made our stay stress free, and really relaxing. We will definitely visit again and look forward to that next adventure.
