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.

GREAT ROOM
From the moment you walk in the door you will feel completely at home. The great room offers a cathedral ceiling living/dining space with wood-burning stone fireplace, wet bar, cherry flooring, with cathedral-height floor to ceiling windows offering picturesque views. The open space makes for the perfect place for large gatherings to snuggle by the fire and take in the amazing views, or gather around the dinning table for family games or meals.

KITCHEN
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.

BEDROOMS
The lodge is great for a group of friends, 5 couples or large family gatherings. 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 upstairs is served by front and back staircases, with a full bath, and 4 additional bedrooms - all with clean, comfortable bedding for your stay.

OFFICE
Homeschooling or working remote? No problem! Off the Great Room is a private office complete with a large desk, two 21 inch monitors, web camera, wireless keyboard and mouse. High-speed internet throughout the house provides download speeds up to 1200 Mbps (national average is 99.3)!

GAMEROOM
The walkout basement is a pine paneled family game room with bar area with full refrigerator, set of cozy couches with large flatscreen, and a bathroom with shower. Outfitted with a pool table, dart board, foosball table, card table, toys for young kids and even vintage video games (Nintendo 64 & PlayStation 2); the lower level is great place for friendly competition with family and friends or a place to send the kids for hours on end.

OUTDOORS
Gorgeous grounds with picturesque fenced pool, Gazebo for relaxing, vegetable and perennial gardens plus raspberry and blueberries bushes for picking, fire pit for meadow picnics. Outdoor games available for use include cornhole, bocci ball, and Kuub. Imagine exploring its stream, stone walls, trails; drifting along its river, floating in the private pool while enjoying breathtaking views - a world unto itself yet close to town and medical services, Mt Snow, Magic, Bromley and Stratton resorts less than a half hour drive.

Come make your memories during any season at the Chestnut Lodge!

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

Winter get away
We took our family away- ages teen to infant- and everyone had a great time. The property is gorgeous and private. Kids went sledding and played in snow, toys for the little ones and bonus was great selection of books for the adults. Owners were very responsive.

Great new year’s escape!
A beautiful and spacious home with all the amenities, located on a gorgeous property. Great for a weekend ski trip with 3 families-easy 30 minute drive to Mount Snow. Comfortable with plenty of space and a well stocked kitchen. Great host communication. The kids loved the basement. Would definitely recommend.

Great Stay
This is a great property for vacation. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and the house accommodated everyone easily. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies (pots pans etc), there are tons of games, and space for everyone. The basement games are perfect if the weather isn’t great and the pool/yard is great when it is. The area is secluded and exactly what we were looking for. The owner was also very quick to respond to questions.

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.
