Folks, this is Vermont. The house is historic, rustic, quaint and comfortable, with a great fire place. The kitchen has everything you'll need to make a full meal or a late night snack. The Battenkill river is right across the street (no really, it is right across the street). Views of the majestic mountain range and absolute silence at night are exactly what we needed to escape, well, life. Arlington is a quick 5 minute drive and then for another 10 mins you're enjoying all that Manchester has to offer. We relaxed and the kids skied Killington, Straton and Okemo. If you're looking for the Ritz, this is not the place for you, but then again if that's your vibe, you're probably in the wrong state altogether. Book, pack 'n go!
