ABOUT THIS SPACE

Blueberry Lodge was designed by renowned architect Piet Van Dijk with an open, modern plan that is conducive to entertaining and social gathering. The space can comfortably accommodate the needs of different family arrangements with its four bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. The great room on the second floor has multiple living spaces, an open kitchen, and arched ceiling with wood beams and windows for lots of natural light.

Blueberry Lodge has been our familyvacation home for 25 years, and provides a fun and engaging setting for multi-generational, relational gathering. Kids love it! We have been delighted to have many repeat visitors and hear how much groups enjoyed the unique layout and beautiful location.

There are two large wood burning stoves upstairs and we supply firewood. These stoves are the primary heating source for the second floor and create a cozy ambience. The second floor also has a large exterior deck with a gas grill and cafe table and outdoor seating.

Owners' presence on site is limited. One family member lives in town and we are responsive throughout the stay for any questions.

LOCATION AND TRAVEL

Ames Hill is a beautiful rural main road with spectacular views. Blueberry Lodge is at the apex of the hill, 8 miles from Brattleboro and 20 miles from Mount Snow. We are near the Marlboro old Muster ground and located along the main road through town. Road walking is safe with some lovely views. In the summer, Marlboro hosts the Marlboro Music Festival, and the Lodge is well-situated for southern Vermont skiing in the winter. The Lodge is quickly accessible to Interstate 91 and Brattleboro in all seasons and convenient for visitors from the south. It’s a great base camp for biking and touring southern Vermont and the tristate corner of MA, NH, and VT.

You will need a car. All-wheel drive is recommended. Marlboro is a country town. Please note that access to the Lodge requires driving at least 2 miles on unpaved, well-maintained roads. Blueberry Lodge is equipped with an electric car charger.

MUD SEASON

Late March and April are slow travel seasons for northern New England. We are available for bookings at lower rates, but cannot understate that the quality of the unpaved roads in a hilly area will be compromised in early spring. You will need 4 wheel drive and experience driving in such conditions to access Blueberry Lodge. You will be asked to confirm that you have both before we confirm your stay during spring mud season.

ACCESSIBILITY

This is a two-story home with one step up onto a slate tiled patio to enter. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the ground floor. Access to the second floor is by staircase.
