Come stay in our beautiful home in beautiful central Vermont, with our two friendly dogs and two sweet, older horses.
We're in search of a housesitter or housesitters who are active and capable. The dogs need at least an hour's off-leash walk in the woods, daily. The horse care is very basic - a half hour in the morning and then making sure they have hay and water in the evening - and the horses are very sweet and easy.
Our house is on a dead-end dirt road with just four houses before ours and five houses past us, spread over about two miles. From our deck we look out at lovely low mountains with a glimpse of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
We are 7 miles outside of Montpelier, the small state capital that is big on good food, music, and friendly people. Burlington, on gorgeous Lake Champlain, is just an hour away, with more good food, music and art.
There are miles of classic dirt roads around us, with beaufiful views, perfect for easy mountain biking. There is a tiny food co-op in the picturesque village of Adamant less than 5 miles away, and Maple Corner, complete with the Whammy Bar (open mike nights, groups coming to play), deli and food store is 5 miles in the other direction.
The house is bright with an open floor plan. Large windows to the south and east. In addition to the deck and back lawn, we have a screened-in porch. There is wi-fi. We just switched software around and are having trouble finding photos - we'll post more of inside the house as soon as we get that sorted.
We have great neighbors, too!
