Ponder & Wander

Ponder & Wander: Vermont

Set on 22 acres of private land boasting ponds, streams and an abundance of nature – this spot in Wilmington offers a peaceful escape beyond the realms of city living. Perfect for larger groups, up to three families can stay here comfortably, with three ensuite bedrooms spread across two floors and an expansive living room on each floor - both overlooking the ponds, one with vaulted ceilings.

With an indoor hot tub, three covered porches (equipped with rocking chairs, a dining area and a barbecue), and a games room featuring a ping pong table, pop-a-shot, and skeeball – you'll have the recipe for a fun and nature-filled escape when staying here.

However, the biggest highlight rests outside on the surrounding private land. Spend sunny afternoons out on the pond as the host provides two canoes, one tandem kayak, and six children's-sized kayaks for guests to use at their own leisure.

This secluded retreat is just a twenty-minute drive from fabulous skiing at Mount Snow. For exploring nature beyond the property, swim in the nearby Harriman Reservoir or hike in Molly Stark State park, both less than ten minutes away in the car.
