Thisisit - Lincoln, VT

Surround yourself with the beauty of nature at this secluded log cabin, gorgeously situated to overlook a half-acre pond on the outskirts of Warren. At this quintessential Vermont retreat, you can watch passing wildlife, listen to the soothing sounds of the brook across the way, and enjoy the wonderful mountain and woodland views from the expansive deck and covered front porch. Inside, you'll have many comforts and conveniences of home including a cozy wood stove and a billiard room with a wet bar for your at-home entertainment.

During the spring and summer months, mountain bikers from around the world come to test their mettle on the extensive trail system in Mad River Valley, which also includes over 40 miles of single-track on Sugarbush Mountain. Fall is a time for vibrant colors and postcard-perfect hikes in Camels Hump State Forest, named for its camel-shaped peaks. The area's other seasonal outdoor activities include canoeing and kayaking the Mad River, rock climbing at Appalachian Gap, and zooming down the challenging ski slopes of Sugarbush Resort (six miles north) and Mad River Glen (15 miles north).

On the property itself, there are many activities to enjoy. Go for a refreshing swim in the pond on warm summer days, enjoying the natural setting around you. Winter is like being in a snow globe, and everyone can enjoy the fresh-powdered snow! There are maintained trails that can be accessed directly from the cabin, great for cross-country skiing (gentle slopes, mainly flat) and also great for snowmobiles (must have a pass from Vermont). If there are clear skies, build a fire at the pond, and enjoy the stars above! The caretaker keeps everything cleaned off and gives instructions on everything, including how to build fires. He is also well known for hauling kids and adults to the top of gap on a 4-wheeler, so they can sled down without a hike!
