Hillside log home in Pittsfield 7 miles from Killington base and Pico ski areas

“The Owl’s Nest” is centrally located in the heart of the Green Mountains in the town of Pittsfield, close to several world class ski resorts, the historic towns of Middlebury, and Woodstock, called America’s prettiest town, and just a few hours drive from Montreal, Boston or New York City. The Owl’s Nest is a beautiful log home that sits on 11 wooded acres in ski country just 7 miles from Killington’s K-1 base lodge or from Pico Mountain ski area. The warm and inviting great room is comfortably furnished and features a cathedral ceiling, an oversized fieldstone fireplace and exposed log posts and beams. Its two sets of oversized sliding doors lead onto a sunny south facing deck. Living, dining and kitchen are open architecture so you can all be together.

On the main floor there are two bedrooms - one with a queen size bed and one with two twin beds. The spacious bath on the main floor has a tub with shower. Upstairs are a master suite and a loft, currently used as an office space, overlooking the great room. (There’s a double size futon that can be moved into the master for little ones that want to be near mom and dad.) The master bedroom has a queen size bed and en-suite with separate shower and sky-lit jetted tub. The walk out basement is a family/ recreation room with a regulation size pool table and a dart board. (We are working on getting the non-working woodstove replaced.) There’s also a large bonus room with two child size bunk beds. The large, tiled bath has a shower.  The basement level has a utility room with instructions for using the new washer and dryer if you’re staying longer term. There is generous closet space throughout the house. The house may not be appropriate for unsupervised young children.

The Owl’s Nest well equipped kitchen has all the basics you need, plus an island, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster and blender. The large wrap around deck is covered on the east side. The house faces south and the southerly facing deck is about 12 feet deep with a large teak table that seats 6-8 people comfortably. Great for dining outside under the table’s umbrella in summer. Guests in excess of 6 people will receive an additional cleaning fee per person.

Pittsfield is a small village nestled between Stockbridge and Killington. The center of the town of Pittsfield is just 2 miles from the house. The general store has a good deli, basic groceries, Vermont themed gifts, good wine and beer selections, and tables where you can have a great breakfast or lunch. Across the street are a small grocer that also has a good deli and sandwiches, a gas station, and post office. Although a local favorite, the Clear River Tavern has closed, it has been replaced by a great Southern style restaurant, The Toasted Pecan.

The Owl’s Nest is 8/10 mile off Rte #100 and accessible from Rte #89 or Rte #4. The road is steep in places, as is our driveway. The house is best reached with AWD/4-wheel drive in winter and snow tires are a must! Weather in Vermont can be unpredictable, so please be prepared. Please read the directions to the house carefully as they contain landmarks to help you find the house. If you arrive after dark, there are no streetlights to guide you.

Please note: We have a cat who is in residence with us when we are in the house. All of the bedrooms have wall-to-wall carpet. If you have allergies, we may not be the right fit for you.futon that can be moved into the master
