Escape to your own private mountain sanctuary in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains. This special combo rental includes both Grace Cottage and Gratitude Cottage—two charming, handcrafted cottages located on the same secluded property high in the forests of Strafford. Together, they create an unforgettable retreat for families, friends, couples traveling together, wellness groups, or anyone seeking space, privacy, and a deeper connection with nature.
Surrounded by peaceful woods and breathtaking mountain vistas, this unique property invites guests to slow down and embrace the rhythm of Vermont life. Wake each morning to fresh mountain air, sip coffee while overlooking distant peaks including spectacular views toward Killington Mountain, and spend your days exploring the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Both cottages were thoughtfully designed and partially constructed using slipform stone crafted from rocks harvested directly from the property itself. The result is a warm, authentic mountain retreat unlike any other—a place where rustic craftsmanship, natural materials, and serene surroundings combine to create an atmosphere of comfort and renewal.
Grace Cottage offers a cozy and intimate retreat featuring beautiful mountain views, handcrafted stone details, and inviting living spaces designed for relaxation. Its lofted layout and warm interior create the perfect setting for couples, small families, or friends looking for a peaceful escape.
Just a short walk away on the same property, Gratitude Cottage provides additional space and privacy while maintaining the same connection to nature and mountain living. With long-range views, a spacious deck, and tranquil forest surroundings, it offers an ideal complement to Grace Cottage, allowing groups to stay together while still enjoying their own private retreat spaces.
Booking both cottages together creates a rare opportunity to enjoy an entire private mountain property. Whether gathering around after a day of adventure, sharing meals while overlooking the mountains, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the forest, this combo rental offers the perfect balance of togetherness and personal space.
No matter the season, the surrounding area offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Winter brings world-class skiing and snowboarding at nearby Vermont resorts, while spring and summer invite guests to hike scenic trails, discover waterfalls, and explore the rolling countryside. Fall transforms the mountains into one of New England's most spectacular displays of color, making this an unforgettable destination year-round.
The property itself is a destination. Located deep within Vermont's beautiful countryside, guests will travel approximately two miles along scenic dirt roads to reach this secluded mountain retreat. During winter and mud season, all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles with appropriate tires are strongly recommended to ensure a comfortable arrival.
