A Hidden Retreat in the Green Mountains
The Southeast Vermont Hideaway is a place to exhale — where morning mist lifts through the trees, the air smells of pine and maple, and the pace of life invites you to slow down.
Nestled on a quiet dirt road above downtown Saxtons River, this fully renovated former hunting lodge offers a rare mix of total privacy and easy access to Vermont Academy – as well as all the vibrant arts, wellness, and food culture southern Vermont has to offer.
Perfect for medium-term stays, sabbaticals, or creative retreats, this home balances rustic seclusion with modern comfort.

About Saxtons River
A small but storied village along the Connecticut River Valley, Saxtons River blends rural beauty with progressive small-town life.
Much of the village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its walkable downtown is filled with 19th-century charm — home to artists, educators, and innovators alike.
Surrounded by woods, wetlands, and farmland, the area offers access to endless hiking, skiing, and swimming spots, while still within reach of urban culture and community.
Nearby Westminster connects easily via I-91, U.S. Route 5, and Vermont Routes 121 & 123, placing all of southern Vermont — and the rest of New England — within reach.
Get in Touch
Whether you come to write, rest, or reconnect with nature, the Southeast Vermont Hideaway offers a grounded, self-sufficient retreat in one of Vermont’s most peaceful valleys.
Watch the stars from the hammock. Walk into town for coffee and conversation. Or stay snowed in by the fire with a good book.
Inquire for seasonal availability and extended-stay rates. Ideal for 1–6 month residencies and creative sabbaticals.
Minimum one-week stay.
