2 Bedroom House in Moretown

As featured in Conde Nast Traveler (1/21/22)
Peaceful & impeccable retreat with a 180 degree view of Vermont's tallest mountains. Near Vermont's premier skiing, hiking, & outdoor adventures, you’ll love the sunset views and cozy atmosphere (huge sheepskin in front of the fireplace) and the attention to detail (live-edge wood details, spa-like bathroom). This is an incredible retreat for couples and families, adventurers and business travelers alike!
COMPLETE COVID-19 CLEANING
The stand-alone Above the Clouds Guesthouse was built with attention to every detail and a commitment to creating a peaceful, uplifting environment. While you're likely to travel to Vermont to partake in its natural beauty and outdoor adventures it's so lovely here that you may never want to leave.
Located at the end of a quarter-mile-long driveway that passes through birch and hemlock woods you'll find yourself perched at the top of the world overlooking a 180+degree mountain vista. Other than the adjacent main house (located across the driveway but placed so both houses have privacy), the only signs of life are lights twinkling across the valley at night and the wildlife that shares the land.
The 1000+ square foot open-concept second story can sleep up to four, while the 250+ sf downstairs can sleep another two on the sofa bed. Upstairs the hand-crafted wooden headboard, made from local maple, is a one-of-a-kind work of art that creates privacy for the queen-size primary bed. It is situated so it has incredible views of the surrounding mountains and enjoys morning sunrises and evening sunsets.
At the opposite end of the room, the reading nook has a sheepskin-covered daybed that can be separated into two twins or turned into a king-sized bed at night. The couch in the lower living room converts into a comfortable queen-size bed (plus a memory foam topper for those who want it).
Though the room downstairs is only separated by the open staircase, the downstairs becomes a cozy sleeping area. All bed linens, towels, and pillows are hotel quality with both down and non-down options.
Our spa-like bathroom has a shower large enough for two with both rainfall and hand-held showerheads, plus a pebble floor to massage your feet. The sink is made from a hand-carved boulder and sits atop a spalted maple live-edge counter held up by a birch tree base harvested from our property. The skylight overlooking the adjacent forest top fills the room with light. The live-edge wood sliding door is a beautiful piece of art. For those who want to bathe in the midst of Vermont's great outdoors, there is an outdoor shower that affords complete privacy and absolutely amazing views during the summer months.
For food prep and dining, the full kitchen has a KitchenAid dishwasher and Euro-fridge under-counter fridge/freezer (plus a full-sized fridge/freezer downstairs). It is equipped with gourmet appliances, including 2 high-efficiency portable induction cooktops, a full-sized microwave oven, a countertop oven large enough to roast a chicken. Best of all, is the dining atmosphere because there are incredible views from every window and a beautiful granite counter surrounded by comfortable leather bar stools.
The living room, with views in every direction, adjoins an 8'x20' deck with clear walls, providing an amazing place for outdoor living high up in the trees. During warm weather, sleep under the stars on the sumptuous deck furniture; BBQ on the Weber grill, dine at the teak table, and roast marshmallows (provided) over the firepit on the garden patio; or take a relaxing outdoor shower while looking out over the valley!
For your entertainment, the TV is hooked up to DirecTV and has a FireTV. There is also Bose Bluetooth speaker for listening to your favorite music. For some old-fashioned fun, there is a generous store of board games, books, and puzzles.
Both houses are powered by the sun and have high-speed fiber-optic internet (500 mbps up and down). We offer a complimentary Level 2 EV charging station.
TRAVEL: You'll definitely need a car to get here. Winter visitors will certainly want at least front-wheel drive and snow tires. During Vermont's mud season (generally from mid March through early April), however, AWD and good vehicle clearance are essential. If you're willing to put up with the mess of the mud, fresh maple syrup (and sugar on snow), as well as quiet-mountain and spring season skiing definitely make a mud season trek worth the adventure.

Summary: This was our second wonderful stay at Above the Clouds. The incredible view is what we love most about it. Many reviewers, including myself, have described how special the view is. The added bonus, however, is that when there, you feel as if you have landed in a soft nest of comfort and luxury up in the trees. Marianne and Bob have thought of every detail to make their place not just a VRBO accommodation, but a pampered indulgence! They have succeeded in creating a space that is pleasing to all the senses - from the sheepskin throws by the fireplace, beautiful lighting, soft linens, cozy robes and slippers, perfect pillows, spa ambiance and amenities in the bath, a welcome wine and cheese board, local maple syrup, waffle mix, and gourmet hot chocolate and spices. And, as is not always the case elsewhere, even the pull-out beds here are high quality memory foam and every bit as comfortable as the beautifully carved queen bed. Couldn't ask for anything more!
