Actual View from Stonybrook Six - From the Living Room, Dining Room, and Master Bedroom
Your Stowe Vermont Vacation Dream - Come True
|
When you are planning a Stowe Vermont Vacation, Stonybrook is one of the
premier places to stay.
Ideally located between the village and the mountain, this 2-bedroom condo has
a breathtaking view (see above) - over the front lawn, to the rail fence, then to the
hay field and historic farm house, and finally on up the valley to a
spectacular panorama of both Mt Mansfield and Spruce Peak.

|
|
This is one of the few livingrooms in Stonybrook, indeed one of the few livingrooms anywhere in Stowe, where you can sit in either couch and see Mt Mansfield.
Even more rarely, when sitting in the rear couch, or just walking around the unit, you can see both Mt Mansfield and Spruce Peak - not to mention the hayfield and historic farmhouse in the foreground.
|
 |
| Living Room View 1 - Wireless Internet Access |
|
|
Throughout the unit are professionally taken
Vermont photos, including ski shots, native scenery and cows from the
neighboring farm. While you are visiting, you have no question that you
are "in Vermont."
The photo over the mantle is a dramatic sunrise view of a nearby Vermont farm cottage, taken by Jim Rathmell, a Burlington, Vermont photographer.
The entertainment system includes a new 37" Plasma HDTV, TiVo DVR, DVD & VCR Players and WiFi Internet access. Fireplace includes complimentary wood. (Note the wood bin on the patio deck to right)

| Living Room View 2 - Plasma HD TV with TiVo DVR |

Dining Room includes place settings for six. The dining room Mountain view (not shown) is the same as the living room - i.e. the view at the top of this Home page.
On the wall behind the table are three photos taken by Jeff Schneiderman of Williston, VT - depicting three closeup shots of a Vermont frosted window pane, a turkey feather, and looking down through four feet of ice on Lake Champlain.
Now, after spilling the beans to you, your assigned task, should you choose to accept it, is to challenge the rest of your family and visitors to guess what these three pictures actually are!

One of the favorite pastimes of our warm weather guests is breakfast, lunch, and dinner on our patio, which is sheltered from above by the master bedroom patio deck, and shaded by an enormous pine tree on the right. This elegant private dining nook with its spectacular view is always one of the fondest memories our visitors take home.

Perched on the counter is the famous Stonybrook Six Vermont Cow Soap Dispenser. For the delight of all ages, upon grabbing her and pressing firmly down, she responds with two marvelously genuine Mooooos!

The Master Bedroom has two closets, a flat screen TV, a chest with dressing mirror, and a king size bed with mattress specifications designed to match the widely-praised Westin Heavenly Bed.
The two photos are a close-up of the lens of a New England lighthouse, and pebbles in a mountain stream. On the opposite wall is a great shot of a rustic, Vermont red barn.
In the morning you awake to the view over the upper patio deck to the left, taking in the same inspiring panorama as from the living room and dining room.

And last but not least, in the upstairs hall are some marvelous, personally taken photos of the true black and white, Vermont cows that graze in the neighboring farm during the summer. But for those refreshing and charming shots, you must come, visit, and see for yourself!
