There are 2 queens and a twin bed in the loft, along with a queen futon downstairs in the living room. The 3 spacious sleeping areas in the loft each have a dormer window.
The space
Our place was designed for music gatherings and over night guests with social ambiance in mind. But the large room also serves as a quiet environment for just one or two people to relax, read, meditate, watch movies or work. There are stairs leading up to the wall to wall carpeted loft with three alcoves for sleeping areas. We provide folding Chinese screens for additional privacy. Each alcove has a window view. We are only minutes away from Dartmouth and the many cultural gems and natural beauties in the area. We welcome people from all backgrounds.
Guest access
We offer two road bikes, two kayaks, badminton and an easy to set up folding ping pong table.

Other things to note
SUMMER: We encourage people to explore our 3 acre grounds and flower gardens. There are outside chairs, cushions and tables that are easy to relocate as the sun shifts. Guests have access to two road bikes in good condition and two kayaks secured down at the lake. There is a dock very close by for swimming, or you can take a 5 minute drive to the town beach, Treasure Island. There you'll find dressing rooms, a life guard, picnic tables, canoe rentals, and a pleasant community atmosphere.
WINTER INDOORS: Viewing winter fields and woods from our warm interior of verdant plants and natural light creates a great setting for a cold weather retreat. It’s perfect for meditating, study or work, and the apartment is large enough to include space for yoga with mats and meditation cushions for two. Or just curl up with a book from the large selection in our library.
WINTER OUTDOORS: For natural beauty and winter exercise, you can cross-country ski on beginner trails through the neighborhood woods and fields straight from our door. Or take a quick walk down to Lake Fairlee and ice fish with the locals. Ten miles east in Lyme, NH there are beautiful cross-country ski trails with beginning to advanced levels. You can also find good down-hill skiing in Lyme at Dartmouth Skiway. A fifteen minute drive north brings you to Lake Morey, famous for the largest groomed ice skating trail on any lake in the Unifed States. For the adventurous, the Post Mills airport offers year-round balloon rides.
WINTER, NIGHT LIFE AND CULTURE: Hanover NH (home of Dartmouth College) and White River Junction provide a wealth of night life and artistic inspiration. The Fall/Winter calendar goes into full swing starting in September with high calibre theatre and concert productions all the way to May — not to mention some very fine restaurants. Check out Northern Stage in White River Junction and the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth in Hanover.
GUITARS: We are also the site of Vermont Instruments where George has run a school for building acoustic stringed instruments since 1982. Two of his fine guitars are always in the apartment for guest use and we encourage musicians to practice here. We also welcome guest visits to the guitar shop where you can see the craft of lutherie in progress.
