Cozy Historic Hilltop Cottage with Mount Ascutney View

This exceedingly charming cottage on a wooded hilltop just outside of Brownsville has great views of Mt Ascutney and a burbling brook at the base of the hill. The historic converted early 1800's one room school house is filled with many antique furnishings. Hanging in the stairway are photographs of the house when it was the Hammond Hill School, with its teacher and her students. Enjoy the coziness of a gas fireplace in the living room or a wood fire in the chiminea on the deck. The cottage features a fully equipped and outfitted kitchen. Both bedrooms are upstairs, the master with a queen size bed and the second bedroom with a full-size double bed. The stairs are steep and may be a challenge for some individuals. All bed and bath linens are supplied.

Mt. Ascutney, only 5 minutes away, with opportunities for hiking, mountain biking or cross country skiing. There is easy access to the VAST trail network for snowmobiling, cross country skiing or snow shoeing. Mountain bikers will find some of the best single track trails in New England. Miles of great trails are accessible right from the house.
Ascutney Mountain Resort has many amenities including a shop for kayak and bicycle rentals. There is a full restaurant and bar available in the main lodge. In addition, the resort has outdoor tennis courts and a heated indoor swimming pool with an adjacent fitness room. There are several ski mountains in the area including Okemo, Killington, Suicide 6, Pico and Sunapee. There is no down hill skiing available at Ascutney. For you golfers, there are 5 courses only 15 to 45 minutes away.

The village of Woodstock, about 25 minutes from Brownsville is known world-wide for its artisans, its artists, and the galleries that show their works. It is also home to the Billings Farm, the Woodstock Inn and the Rockefeller Woodstock Resort. Nearby is the Green Mountain Horse Association in South Woodstock.

Close to Woodstock is the Village of Quechee where you’ll find the famous glass works factory of Simon Pearce with its retail shop of glassware and wonderful restaurant.

Nearby on the Connecticut river is the Cornish Art Colony with the home of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and the Maxfield Parrish museum.

There really is something for everyone any time of year!

Peaceful
We all enjoyed our stay here. After being in Niagara Falls for a few days it was nice to come here and relax before heading back to Maine. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The cottage is so quaint and the amenities were wonderful. We all had a wonderful time! We hope to return someday….

Perfect Getaway
This property was the perfect accommodation for me and my husband as we road tripped across New England during the fall. The house was just as described. It sits on a bit of a hill. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the small fire pit and drinking coffee. The house was cozy and close to town without being in town. I enjoyed the few historic pictures on the wall. I would recommend and if we are in this area again, I hope this property is available.

A cozy comfortable quiet private cottage
We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was in a great private location that was quiet and peaceful. It had everything we needed. If it were a little warmer, we would've spent more time on the deck with the campfire and do some grilling, but we enjoyed lounging by the fire inside just fine. The price was reasonable. We would stay there again.

Storybook Vermont Memories
My sister and I took my mom to Vermont for her 70th birthday. I chose this cottage because it was adorable and had a history. It was the perfect place for us to home base for a few days of general stores, covered bridges, Sugarbush Maple Syrup Farm, Dartmouth, King Arthur Four Company flagship store, and more. It was quiet and cozy. It does have a "very old house" smell to it - but it's a very old house. With 40F degree nights, the heater set to 65F worked great. Although we didn't have the chance to build a fire on the back patio, the supplies were available - as was everything else we needed! Thanks for a wonderful and memorable stay!!
