Beautiful year round home located in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, 7 miles from Hill Farmstead (with the world's #1 beer as rated by RateBeer for many years running!), 15 minutes from the picturesque towns of Craftsbury and Greensboro, and 40 minutes from great mountain biking on East Burke's Kingdom Trails.

Our location offers plenty of privacy as the last house on a well-maintained dirt road, and situated on 47 acres with our own spring-fed pond on the premises. Views from the western-facing deck are of the northern range of Vermont's Green Mountains, from Mt. Mansfield to Jay Peak.

Beautiful vistas around every curve and quintessential New England towns complete with country stores are an easy drive. Get a picnic lunch, stop at Parker Pie for some great pizza, hit the diner, or enjoy fine dining in nearby Craftsbury.

The house has a fully equipped kitchen, internet, WIFI, games, gas and charcoal grills, outdoor firepit, beach towels, floats and inner tubes for swimming, and an eclectic assortment of books and board games. The lockable garage has plenty of space to hang bikes and store your gear. There is a firestick 55 TV, and 6-7 broadcast stations come in crystal clear.

Our comfortable beds include some brand-new posturpedic mattresses. In addition to the 2 king-size, 1 queen, and 4 twin beds, and an Aerobed is also available.

SUMMER: a great area for those wanting to simply relax on our deck, enjoy a drive in the country, visit craft and antique stores, or enjoy more active pursuits like mountain biking, trail walking, hiking, running, swimming, w/canoeing, kayaking, sailing nearby. Swim in a variety of lakes with free public beaches within a short drive - Lake Caspian (Greensboro), Shadow Lake and Daniels Pond (Glover). Mountain bike on dirt roads right outside the door, or drive 40 minutes to enjoy the Kingdom Trails in East Burke. Hike Mt. Hor or Mt. Pisgah overlooking Lake Willoughby, take the tram to the top of Jay Peak and enjoy their water park, or skip the car and simply enjoy quite walks on White Road, just out the door!

    Plenty of space for our group of 6. The kitchen/dining area is nicely laid out. The living room and deck are nice to relax in. Great sunsets from the deck.

    The house was a perfect Fall getaway. Very private and secluded surrounded by the beautiful Fall foliage. The check-in process was smooth and communication was never an issue. We will be back next Fall.

    Comfortable house with well-outfitted kitchen and plenty of room for ten family members to be together yet have privacy when needed. Plenty of games for the kids and the pond, while more of a trek than we realized, was a huge hit with everyone, with a very magical vibe. Ample bedrooms, but I will mention that if anyone in your party is hyper-sensitive to typical basement odors, they would have a hard time staying in the two ground floor bedrooms. Otherwise, we had a great vacation at the Gilpins house - thank you so much!

    The locale was great. Isolated and private. Local swim place. The house smelled moldy and pond was no swimmable. It had leashes and other animals. I would suggest the lake 10 minutes away.

    We had seven adults here to cross country ski for three days. This group has done a three day trip for over 30 years. We skied one day at Craftsbury, and one day at Jay Peak XC. We loved how well equipped this house was compared to most other rentals we have had. PLENTY of room for the seven of us. The living room was a very nice room to gather in and hang out after skiing.

    We enjoyed a terrific stay here in Greensboro. The property was lovely, and the kitchen had everything we needed (and much exceeded standards for a VRBO!) Incredible views at sunset over the mountains, and quiet. As a ski trip we especially loved the central stove and warm feel of the house. I recommend that one takes the roads seriously in the winter! We had a few cars which were not entirely up to the task of the snowy dirt roads (we were, all of us, city folk w/o snow tires). Plows came by every morning but those roads and hills deserve some respect. Would definitely recommend for exploring this beautiful corner of Vermont in any season.
