Best backcountry skiing in New England - mountain getaway with stunning views! • Jay Peak Resort 3 miles away! • Ski home from Jay Peak via Big Jay! • Backcountry ski 4 mountains from your door! • Backcountry guiding available (15% discount for guests!) • Tour Long Trail, Catamount Trail, Big Jay & Little Jay from here! Our only neighbors are animals in the surrounding mountains & forests. Managed by Vermont Mountain Experience. Note: There is also a guest house that sleeps 8.
Nestled between Big Jay, Little Jay, Buchanan Mountain and Domey's Dome is our comfortable mountain home. You will be staying in the entire first floor. We live on the top two floors of the house. While our guest house is a great place, the 1st floor is beautiful. The view from all windows is magnificent (see photos).
There are double/full size bunk beds in the 1st bedroom. The two other beds are queen-sized wall beds. They are all in different rooms giving everyone their own private sleeping space.
Jay Brook's relaxing sound can be heard from your covered patio. Guests comment on how all beds are nicely nestled in their own private spaces. The view of the mountains from the living room, bedroom and dining rooms is stunning even when it's cloudy and snowing. The starry skies are amazing and wonderful to view while sitting by the fire pit. Dry wood is right there for your use.
Jay Peak gets more snow than any other New England resort and we are right there in the same snow pocket. Forecasts usually underestimate our snowfall.
Our home is just off Mountain Road (VT 242) close to Jay Peak. We have streams on each side of the property. Both feed into Jay Brook which runs just below the home and can be heard year-round. We are surrounded by beautiful mountains and woods. This apartment is the first floor of our three floor home. We live on the top two floors. This house and the guest house are the only two places that can been seen or heard from this property.
Hike to the Long Trail from the house.
A 3-mile drive to Jay Peak Resort and Water Park.
