“The Crooked House” w/ sauna on private wooded lot near Woodstock, Killington

“The Crooked House” w/ sauna on private wooded lot near Woodstock, KillingtonEscape to the beautiful mountains of Vermont. Our four-season house is nestled on a mountainside located near Killington, Woodstock, and Green Mountain National Forest. The house is in a private community that has a recreation area between the White and Tweed Rivers with a swimming hole and 2 tennis courts. Close to skiing, golfing, hiking, and river activities, there is never a bad time of year to visit!The 3BR / 2.5BA home sleeps 8 and the whole group can fit around the dining room table but there are also two spots at the breakfast bar if preferred. While it fits a group of 8, it is cozy and not too big for just a couple to enjoy on their own.The upper level of the house is the master bedroom which features a king bed with a Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt Firm* mattress and has its own private bath. There is a sitting area with a desk and reading chair surrounded by large windows which provide beautiful views of the trees. The bedroom has a (smaller) Samsung LED TV with Blu-ray player and Apple TV. Also located in the bedroom is a unique spiral staircase that leads to the sauna.The lower level has a bedroom with a queen bed and another bedroom with two single over single bunk beds (sleeps 4). There is a full bath on this level along with a half-bath/laundry room combination. There are plenty of drawers, hooks, and shelves for everyone’s things.The kitchen is on the main level of the house and has quartz counters and stainless steel appliances and is well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, knives, utensils, and spices. It has a 5-burner gas stove and a double-oven with convection option. There is also a wet bar around the corner from the kitchen with additional space for beverage making. If grilling is your thing, there is a Weber gas grill on the deck.Just off the kitchen and dining room area is the living room. It has a wood-burning fireplace insert, couch and recliners, and a Samsung LED Smart TV with Bose soundbar, Apple TV, and Blu-ray player.The house has ECFiber fiber-optic high-speed internet. So, while there is no cable, there is streaming available through the Smart TV and Apple TV (bring your cable provider login information from home to access your favorite channels). Additionally, the house has a supply of DVDs, board games, cards, puzzles, and books to enjoy.Please note that there is no cell phone signal at the house, but you can use the Wi-Fi to make calls with a Wi-Fi-calling enabled cell phone or text through iMessage and similar services. We also have a house phone with unlimited calling to the US and Canada.There is a covered entry to the house that keeps the firewood dry and easy to access. The covered entry also includes racks to hold your skis and a spot for snowboards too. Inside, the foyer has shoe and boot racks and plenty of hooks for coats.From the house, it is 25 minutes to Killington’s Snowshed and Skyeship lodges or to Pico Mountain, 40 minutes to Sugarbush and Okemo, 55 minutes to Mad River Glen, and 90 minutes to Stowe. Close enough to enjoy what each resort has to offer, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet and solitude of the mountains.This is a non-smoking property and pets are not permitted. Thank you in advance for respecting our house rules, they are very important to us.Finally, a note from our HOA regarding the community roads in the winter:”We make every effort to ensure the roads are timely plowed and sanded. However, during ongoing storms our roads (like all steep gravel roads in Vermont) can be treacherous. Members, visitors and guests will likely need good snow tires or chains to travel most of our roadways in snowy conditions, and definitely to access the steeper portions of the road during a storm. Four-wheel drive alone is inadequate on many snowy portions of roads when a car does not have winter tires/snow tires. Tires rated “all-season” for city driving are not considered winter tires/snow tires and will not make it up steeper roadways in a snowstorm.Reminder: an emergency parking area is located on Timber Hawk Road (at the first open clearing on the right, marked by two wooden posts). This area may be used on a short-term basis when a car cannot make it up the road during a storm.Be prepared: Anyone driving back roads in winter, especially at night, should ensure that they are equipped with flashlights/headlamps and shoes suitable for walking uphill in the snow.We expect all owners, guests and renters to drive and act responsibly at all times. If a vehicle becomes stuck or disabled, it poses a risk to plow operators and other drivers. It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to get it dislodged, at his or her own expense.”* Please read about the king Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt Firm mattress on their website:https://www.tempurpedic.com/shop-mattresses/tempur-proadapt/v/2574 or google information on it yourself to decide if this is the right mattress for you. My husband loves it for his back but it may be too firm for some.Meals and Rooms Tax#: MRT-10478663
