JennyBrook Farm was recently featured in the 2003 Forbes.com Fall Rental Guide at http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2003/08/29/cx_bs_0829home.html Check it out! Think New England. Choose a charming Vermont farmhouse rental for a mountain view, a memorable ski vacation, a cool summer getaway with a 2-acre pond or an autumn trip to view nature's color.  Located in the peaceful Green Mountain National Forest at the meeting point of two mountain streams, Jenny Brook Farm is a nature lover's delight.  The completely restored 1830's farmhouse has all the amenities, if you're adventurous enough to choose a home that's "off the power grid."  We generate our own electricity, so that means there are a few extras you'll need to know.  The house has 4 bedrooms: a master suite with bath and a queen bed, one queen guest bedroom and a guest bedroom with two twins.  A sleeping loft that opens to the den below has a full size bed, a twin bed and a bath.  The house handles 6 to 8 people.  Jenny Brook Farm is a great New England honeymoon getaway.

With a fully equipped modern kitchen including a Jenn-Air cooktop, plus an 8-burner cast iron wood stove, you can even cook the old-fashined way.  The home has a brick fireplace in the dining room in front of an antique banquet table that can seat a crowd.  The focal point in the den is a huge river-stone fireplace, floor to ceiling wondows and original hand-hewn beams in what was formerly an attached barn.  The 36-acre New England farm sits at the end of a town-maintained gravel road so you'll feel like you're escaping from it all.  There's a mountain view in every direction and wildlife wherever you look. In reality, you're just 2 1/2 miles from one of Vermont's most picturesque villages situated right on the West River.  Weston, Vermont is the home of the famous Vermont Country Store, where you'll find old fashioned provisions and remedies that you just can't find elsewhere.  You'll love the Weston Playhouse productions--a theatre with Broadway quality plays all summer long.  Weston is home to several small museums, charming little shops, a gourmet country inn restaurant and a town green with a gazebo that just takes you back to a simpler time.

Skiing is what you do in winter.  The farm is located close to 5 major resorts--Okemo Mountain, Stratton, Magic Mountain, Bromley and Killington/Pico.  If you prefer cross country skiing, you don't even have to get into your car.  Just 100 yards beyond the house the plowed road ends and the state maintained cross-country skiing trails begin.  In just minutes you're off through the woods, by streams, into the mountains for a most peaceful and satisfying winter sport.  Whether you choose winter, summer or fall, this is a New England vacation spot where you'll experience nature up close. Wildlife is everywhere.  Last July we saw a shiny, frisky black bear foraging in the woods, a mother moose and her calf trot by our den window, a beaver plodding along our nearby field and a mother grouse protecting 9 large eggs under one of our deck chairs by the pond.  So if you are game to learn a few extras about managing a fully modern house on a generator system, this could the the vacation rental home for you.
