Historic 1843 Belmont Home, Near Okemo & VAST, Sleeps 10+, Gigabit WiFi

Escape to Mr. Bear’s Cabin, a lovingly restored 1843 historic home in Belmont, where original woodwork, authentic character, and modern comforts come together. With over 100 friendly and playful bear-themed touches throughout and thoughtfully renovated spaces, this is not a cookie-cutter rental, it’s a home with soul and story.

The Space:
Sleeps 10–12 comfortably across 4 bedrooms plus two flexible sleeping areas:

• 2 queen beds
• 2 full beds
• Queen sleeper sofa (lower living area, adjacent to a private half bath)
• Full futon (upper living area, adjacent to a full bath)

And 4 bathrooms in total:
• 2 fully renovated full bathrooms
• Brand-new deep soaking tub with heated vent
• 2 half baths, thoughtfully placed for privacy

Expect the authentic character of an 1843 Vermont home: charming slants, original details, and creaky hardwood floors, paired with renovated bathrooms, a custom kitchen, EV charger, and modern conveniences where they matter.

Why Guests Love Staying Here:
Entertainment & Gathering
• Restored antique pool table
• Extensive games and books
• Large Roku TV room
• Multiple cozy spaces for groups to spread out

The Kitchen
• Fully renovated and well equipped for group meals
• Or skip cooking — everything you need is next door

Next-Door Convenience at the Belmont General Store (literally steps away)
• Espresso drinks and breakfast sandwiches
• Mount Holly Brewing craft beers and ciders
• Lunch options and everyday essentials
• Forgot a toothbrush or need milk? No driving required

The Bear Theme
• Over 100 friendly and playful bears throughout the home (guests love trying to count them)
• Mr. Bear himself holds court in the billiards room, skis and santa hat at the ready

Location Highlights:
• 10 minutes to Okemo/Jackson Gore
• 30–40 minutes to Killington and Bromley
• Direct access to the VAST snowmobile trail
• Steps to the Belmont General Store (hot food, espresso drinks, craft beer, cider, wine, and essentials)
• Star Lake is a 2-minute walk for kayaking and paddleboarding
• Set beside a creek and behind a large open field... quiet, peaceful, and scenic

A Few Things Guests Appreciate:
1. No checkout chore list. I charge a cleaning fee so my cleaners are paid a real living wage. You won’t be asked to strip beds, start laundry, or scrub anything on your way out.
2. No overwhelming house rules. I expect the home to be treated with respect, but trust my guests and keep things straightforward.
3. A responsive, hands-on host. I care deeply about the guest experience and am available if anything comes up during your stay.

Eric,I will try to be patient but I have to say our experience was disappointing. We arrived after the stipulated arrival time. We had invited my sister and her family to visit us for dinner. We found the property to be a construction site with ladders all over, and multiple people on the roof, and a construction van and debris around the house. So, we unloaded and parked on the back side of the library across the street. Upon arrival, we found the dishwasher full of dirty dishes and the refrigerator had someone else's food in it. My wife asked if were were at the right house. I went to bed that night in a sweater and socks because I thought I was getting sick. It wasn't until I woke at 5am Saturday that I realized the house was cold. I searched around the house until I found a thermostat and realized the heat was turned off. There were no instructions with the house as to where the thermostat was or how to program it but I managed to turn on the heat. I later reset the thermostat to 60 degrees when we left but I would encourage you to provide written instructions to future guests on how to operate the heating system.Also, regarding your comment about our being the test guests for the new bathroom.. Unfortunately, the toilet in the first floor bathroom doesn't work and didn't work from the time we arrived. We tried a plunger. I recommend you contact a plumber. Also, the first floor bedroom doesn't have curtains, and two of the bedrooms don't have dressers or stands
