High Shelter is a 270-acre sheep farm offering complete privacy from the road, lovely views of Mount Ascutney, and on-site hosts to your Vermont vacation.
The four-room guest apartment is the 1200 square foot ground floor of our farmhouse; your hosts live on the upper floors. The apartment has a king bed and a queen sleep sofa, full kitchen, washer/dryer, private patio, grill and fire pit.
Swimming pool is open all summer and is shared with main house. Pond and stream on property. Gather your own eggs from the laying flock, pick your own flowers from the garden, pour our maple syrup on your breakfast pancakes, build a fire in the woodstove, walk down a dirt road to the beaver pond and watch the bitterns fish.
In 10 minutes by car, you can be picnicking by a covered bridge, canoeing the Connecticut River, playing golf at the Crown Point Club, or hiking Mount Ascutney trails. When you have finished rusticating, enjoy the excellent cell phone reception, high speed DSL, 200 TV channels, and central heat and air conditioning.
