Property Truths
Although a favorite of most guests, this property might not be a fit for demanding travelers. It's professionally cleaned, laundry is washed at 140°, we have the top fiber-optic cable available in the area, it has a generator, and our heating system is under 10yrs old and regularly serviced. However, it's also a historic house in a rural setting with rooms the caliber of the “popular” historic Equinox Hotel in Manchester. The furnishings are primarily antique and antiques are old. The floors creek and the windows can be hard to open. The kitchen dining area can feel cramped for groups greater than 10. The cable and Wi-Fi as mentioned, are the best in the area, but the best in this area is not as good as where you come from. If what I'm telling you sounds charming, and most guests do find it charming, then I'm sure you will love this house.
Location
A favorite with initiated travelers and truly Vermont at its best! Perfectly located in the shire of Weston with grazing cows on one side and the West River on the other. You get amazing star gazing, mineral water straight from the faucet into your coffee tea or bath and no stoplights, but with high-speed WIFI, paved roads, cell-service, a grocer, a liquor store, and incredible shopping skiing and dining. Ski five top mountains 10-miles to Okemo, 8-miles to Magic, 11-miles to Bromley, 18-miles to Stratton, and 13-miles to both VAST and Appalachian Trail. Shop at the world famous original Vermont Country Store less than 1-mile away or 40 Manchester retailers just 14 miles away. Eat at four Michelin quality restaurants and find 12 more family-friendly eats within 10 miles. Fly-fishing, hiking, skiing, biking trails, theatre, and even Benedictine Monks at Weston Priory are also nearby! Grounds feature perennials, apple trees, stone walls, swimming pool, an old barn, and scenic vistas at every turn. Just a short walk to the Weston Theatre Company and the original Vermont Country Store.
History
The Apple Knoll was built in 1830 and first used as a sheep farm. It's a Georgian style timber frame house with views of the West River, shire of Weston, and Mounts Tabor Mansfield and Equinox. In the year built, Merino wool prices spiked to 50 cents a pound and VT experienced the “Great Torrent”, the worst flooding in a century. Over the next 30 years Vermont saw its first railroad, spread of the abolitionist movement, a booming economy first in agriculture then forestry mining and manufacturing, and outbreak of the Civil War.
