"Little House" near Montpelier & Maple Corner, Calais, Vermont

Sweet & simple cabin living, "Little House " just two miles to Maple Corner & Curtis Pond and 8 miles to Montpelier. Small, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cabin on 6.5 open acres. The perfect spot for a Vermont vacation - or staycation.

Mountain & meadow views. Outdoor shower, screened porch, Heat pump/AC (not in each bedroom but in the open living space), WIFI, well water, solar panels, mature blueberry bushes, strawberries, apple trees, lilacs and perennials.

Sunny, bright, simple interior. Wood and tile floors. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Fabulous star gazing. Prime firefly viewing. Mowed walking paths (and a tent site should you wish to pop a tent) and immediate access to many local trails and dirt roads great for walking, running or biking. There are plenty of opportunities to see and hear wildlife from the house. We regularly hear coyotes, owls and other birds (if you get really lucky, you may hear a loon from nearby Bliss Pond).
Within 2 miles you will find: Curtis Pond (swim area and boat launch), The Maple Corner Community Store (and US Post Office), The Whammy Bar, The Maple Corner Community Center, The Old West Church, The Kent Tavern (with stone walking labyrinth) and an amazing art show in the fall, The Robinson Sawmill, The Adamant Music School, The Adamant Co-op, The Adamant Community Club, Peck Farm Orchard and Templeton Farm.

Calais and Montpelier (Exit 8 off Interstate 89) are located in Central Vermont. You can easily get to "The Valley" the Waitsfield/Warren area (Exit 9) or to the Stowe/Waterbury area (Exit 10) in under 40 mins. Burlington and Lake Champlain is just under one hour North on Interstate 89.

Things you won't find at Little House: TV, cable, microwave or dishwasher. No harsh cleaners or detergents. Carpeting, scented candles or air "fresheners." Food delivery services or Uber/Lift. Please note: both bathrooms are very small. There is no bathtub.

"Little House" is my primary home.
In spring 2022 I purchased a small "tiny house" for myself as a remote office space. It is situated in the back corner of the property (far from the main house, with a separate driveway). During your stay I may be in the tiny house with my medium goldendoodle, Bleu, traveling, or staying near by. Please note my early 20’s son lives in the basement apartment. There is a separate entrance. He works for a local non-profit media company and makes himself scarce when we have guests. But he can also be called upon should you need anything! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Also, feel free to message me if you wish to book an extended stay ( different rates would apply) or if you have a special event or request for dates that are currently "blocked out" on the availability calendar. Thank you! ~Jennifer of Little House

Cozy Cottage!
I have always wanted to visits Vermont and this little cottage checked all of the boxes. Cute, cozy and comfortable in an out of the way location. Wether you plan to explore Vermont or just want a quiet place for R&R this place is it. Although we were here for all things fall, this would be a great base for cross country skiing in the winter. Thank you Jennifer for creating such a nice space.

Little house was a Big Hit
Quaint property in the lovely Vermont countryside. We enjoyed our stay here; it had everything we needed for a relaxing stay in the area. Nice walking area and close to maple sugar farm. The owner was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable.

Friends visiting from Ontario loved this place. Quiet country setting, yet only 10 minutes from shopping locations. Great swimming and hiking near by. Will definitely be back. Our host was very nice and made our stay one of a kind.

Country getaway
This is a charming small house, located about 15 minutes from Montpelier, but out in the country. Beautiful property. Doesn't have a TV, but we enjoyed streaming shows on our laptop.

Little House
I wouldn't change a thing! Clean, but warm and welcoming. Uncluttered, but something interesting or beautiful wherever you look. Thoughtful touches throughout and check in was a breeze. I know who I'm going to try to get ahold of should I decide to set up a vacation rental!

Great Stay
Our trip to Calais was wonderful. Jennifer was a great host. She even provided us with a calendar of local events in Calais which was an incredibly charming community. Everything in the listing is 100% accurate. A beautiful home on a great piece of property with a small hiking area and excellent wildlife. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay so we didn't have to eat out unless we wanted to check out a local restaurant. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations for our trip. Will definitely be visiting again in the future.
