================== AND HERES SOME MORE ABOUT OUR COTTAGE .....
We are in the heart of the Green Mountains between Killington and Stratton/Bromley. We have beautiful (spectacular!!) views off to the west and northwest (great sunsets). Our cottage sits on a hill surrounded by stately maples and open pastures. It sits at 2100 feet above sea level and overlooks a lake with a 75 mile view across the mountains of Vermont and into New York State (we see the highest mountain in NY). We are one mile from Star Lake which has a beach and boat access. The cottage is very private being surrounded by 180 acres of our land, and hundreds more acres of friends, family and the State of Vermont. We have our own trail network for hiking, snowshoeing and xc skiing, and theres lots of other hiking all around the town and local area. On our land across the road from the cottage there are four beaver ponds that string along a brook that runs into Star Lake.
..... and we have a moose that visits every now and then [EMAIL us for this picture and many others].
Although private, this house is in the heart of the Vermont ski and tourist area so there are lots of restaurants, shops, and activities within 5 to 10 miles (Mt. Holly, Ludlow, Weston, etc.)

=============== AND HERES SOME COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS:
Dear Ron and Dottie,
Well, were finally making the difficult transition back to the land called work after our awesome visit to your bit of heaven on earth. Indeed our stay at your heavenly haven refreshed both our spirits and bodies, and put Vermont on the "must see again & again" list of places to visit. What a perfect way for us to have celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Hey, we may not have spotted your neighborhood moose, but he was tracking us!! What excitement we got from spotting his fresh tracks on our way back from clumping down to see one of the beaver dams on your property!! :)
What can I say, our stay in your little cottage changed our lives.... Hey, Im getting ready to put kindling in our never used before fireplace, just to bring back some Belmont ambience to our San Diego nest!! (That fire-stoking bit is an AMAZING new activity for this San Diego native to start doing, trust me on this one!! :)
I hope this note finds you and Dottie well.......
Drop us a line now and again to keep us posted on your lives, ok Now that weve touched each other, youre in our hearts forever; you cant get out of it! :)
Hugs,
Pat ... and Denny, San Diego, CA

Ron and Dottie-
Thank you for a wonderful week in Vermont. It is so beautiful, especially with your fall leaves. May we ask a favor -- could you email the photos of the moose that visited us during our stay -- we want to add them to a CD we are doing of our vacation.

Dear Ron and Dottie-
Thank you for the use of your lovely cottage. All the charming touches, from fresh flowers to the welcoming gifts, made us feel so welcomed. The country-side is lovely and we so enjoyed sitting on the deck to view its beauty. I hope we’ll come back again. This is truly a gem.
Many blessings,
Judy M. and family, Mass.

We had the most fabulous ski season. Your cottage made our winter escape an absolute treat. The views were delightful, the coziness of the cottage felt like home away from home. We all had such a lovely time we just have to come back. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your home.

Dear Ron and Dottie--
Thanks very much for letting us enjoy your very comfortable cottage. The photos wed seen both in the brochure and on the internet didnt do justice to either the clean and modern facilities, nor the marvelous views. We look forward to returning some day. Many thanks again.
