Treetop Chalet

From the floor-to-ceiling windows to the distant view of Stratton Mountain across the treetops, this Peru home is the quintessential Vermont getaway. Between the classic, ski-inspired decor, the crackling fireplace, and the wondrous natural setting, you'll have the delightful feeling that you've stepped back in time.

This ski chalet sits in the rural outskirts of small-town Peru, a region that's renowned for its skiing and hiking. Take your pick of slopes at Bromley Mountain Ski Resort (two miles), Stratton Mountain Resort (13 miles), Mount Snow (25 miles), and Killington Resort (38 miles). Spend summer mornings hiking the Long Trail (accessed four miles west) and autumn days taking scenic drives amid the gorgeous foliage.

From the moment you step inside, this Euro-style chalet will put a smile on your face. Shed your boots, coats, and hats by the door and be greeted by sunlight streaming in through two walls of glass. The living area is wonderfully open, offering multiple seating vignettes for curling up by the fire, playing cards at the game table, or screening a favorite movie. The kitchen has every essential for homemade meals and the dining area a spectacular view.

Spend summer evenings outside on the large deck, barbecuing on the gas grill and admiring the colors of the sunset. At night, the four bedrooms are full of character, each with large windows framing the landscape. Two bathrooms are shared between them.
