Welcome to Chestnut Lodge! A woodland entrance hides a stunning private escape! 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, fishing, and everything the area has to offer. Nestled in a tranquil wooded setting, this spacious house offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, making it ideal for a peaceful getaway or an outdoor adventure.

    Wonderful property. Perfect for our family trip. Plenty of room , the basement being the most used by the kids. Clean, neat with all the essentials. Large kitchen well stocked. Sledding on the property itself was priceless. Would definitely recommend and rent again. Hosts and property manager available and easy to communicate with.

    We recently stayed at this home for our son's wedding, and it could not have been more perfect. The house itself is the most well-equipped property I’ve ever rented—everything we needed (and more) was thoughtfully provided. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, with sweeping views that made for an incredible backdrop to our celebration. It’s truly an ideal setting for a small wedding or gathering.Equally important, the owners were exceptionally easy and gracious to work with—responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our experience special. We are so grateful to have found this place and would recommend it without hesitation.

    Beautiful property and home with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation. We especially enjoyed the pool and the disc golf. There is plenty of room inside and out to find a quiet place to read and relax. Kitchen was fully equipped with room for everyone at either the dining room table or the kitchen nook table to enjoy a meal together.Game room for the younger folks to hang out after dinner was a plus.Great place, would stay here again whenever we are in the area.

    The hosts were amazing! We were aLao able to talk with the property manager (Shaunna) while we were there. She was extremely helpful and made sure our stay was great. We had a small wedding at the property with our close friends and family. It was a perfect location with amazing views.

    We had such a wonderful vacation with family and friends. Watching birds at the feeders while eating breakfast, picking fresh berries from the garden, relaxing by the pool, strolling the property with our dogs, playing games and doing puzzles-we relaxed and enjoyed each others company. We even saw a black bear meandering through the yard near the tree line! We’ll be back!

    Great home and grounds for our multigenerational family getaway. The house had plenty of rooms for our party of 11. It was clean and had everything you could need and then some. The property grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The grandkids had a blast enjoying swimming, disc golf, dress up, game room and just exploring the grounds. Many hiking areas nearby. My husband and son golfed nearby. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable time for everyone. Check in and check out was a breeze. Would recommend this lovely home and look forward to doing it again.

    Our family had a wonderful time at this property. It was way better than what we were expecting. It was very clean and very well kept. Also, the owners were extremely responsive to all questions prior to arrival, and when we had one question when we were there, they answered it via phone right away.We definitely will rebook.

    Overall, the property checked all of our boxes. Location, space for number of guests, amenities, etc. Kitchen was fully stocked.Plowing of the driveway was key with a snow/ice storm in the middle of our stay.Internet speed was also fast as well for a full house of connected teens.There are not quite enough full bathrooms/showers for the number of possible guests especially in the upstairs space.The main tv/apps were glitchy. That needs to be looked at and updated. The firestick in the main floor bedroom was not setup correctly.

    This place was just about perfect with excellent hosts that were easy to communicate to. My only ask would be to get shades to block the sun in the morning in the bedroom to the left of the upstairs bathroom. We did not use that bedroom because of this reason. That being said, we loved this place so much that we already booked again for next year.

    What an amazing home for an extended family getaway! Our three families, 6 adults and 7 children, were blown away by how wonderful Tabitha and Jordan’s home was and how much it really felt like a home away from home. Every amenity and necessity you could possibly need was readily available, from a very well stocked kitchen to a large assortment of games and outdoor fun equipment. The home is beautiful, well decorated, and spacious with a great balance of gathering spaces and quiet solo spots to get away from the chaos when needed. The property is vast, gorgeous, and so tranquil- fully surrounded by the mountains. We were blessed with a big snowfall the night we arrived and the kids spent the entire day playing and sledding right outside the front door. We are already planning our next trip back!

    We loved this property with stunning foliage, hiking trails, and perfect views. The house had everything we needed to accommodate a large group and more with lots of thoughtful touches. Plenty of space, panoramic views, screened in porch, fireplace, pool table, and connected speakers throughout. We have stayed at many different rentals for our annual trip over the years and this one is our new favorite.

    The House, Lands and View of this place are all amazing. Great for big family gathering to escape and rejoice and relax. We came to explore a bit of Vermont, which we did, but we also found ourselves reluctant to go out as the house and property were so captivating all on their own!
