What our guests are saying...
Old Ark Retreat is described as a beautiful, spacious, and cozy home that works especially well for group getaways and family stays, with a warm cabin feel and thoughtful layout. Guests consistently praised the comfortable beds, inviting furniture, natural light, and rustic decor that created a relaxing and homey atmosphere. The property was frequently noted as clean, bright, and well stocked, with a kitchen equipped for easy meal preparation and plenty of essentials throughout the home. Its setting feels private, peaceful, and quiet while still offering convenient access to nearby dining, shops, and skiing. Guests also enjoyed the surrounding mountain scenery and the retreat-like feel of the wooded location. Memorable features included the fireplace, hot tub, game spaces, decks, yard, fire pit, and thoughtful touches for dogs.
Overview
Serenity awaits at this private all-season retreat, ideally located between Mount Snow, Wilmington Village, Lake Raponda, and a bounty of year-round activities for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. In the summer, you can paddleboard, kayak, and boat only seven miles away. In the fall, hike local trails right from the end of your driveway, enjoy local festivals and music at Mount Snow, or tee it up at Haystack Golf Club. In winter, leave the bustle of the mountain behind and enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub while you grill or eat takeout from the many nearby restaurants.
Situated at the end of a winding country road, the home is a private enclave that welcomes family and friends to its dog-friendly space. Gather around the firepit and play cornhole, and in season, enjoy herbs and some veggies from the raised beds. The open-concept main floor offers a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxation. Enjoy Ping-Pong, and foosball on the lower level which also has a myriad of games and puzzles and a tv with a USB to connect to other devices. On the main floor, a wood-burning insert adds a cozy feel, and the Roku TV enables guests to access all their usual streaming from plush and comfy seating. The well-appointed kitchen makes family-style meal prep a breeze, and the large dining table can accommodate larger groups.

This home is a cozy retreat in the Vermont woods. The decor throughout is casually elegant with tasteful rustic touches. The beds are comfortable and clean. Fun game room with foosball and ping pong. Hot tub was clean and warm when we arrived and heated up to a hot temp quickly. Plenty of dishes, cookware, bakeware, small appliances for anything you want to do in the kitchen.
