Private Lakeview Suite in B&B Retreat Near BTV

Nestled in 8 acres of forest and rolling gardens, Hearthwood is a small, private bed & breakfast that combines chic modern furnishings and rustic decor to provide the classic Vermont experience. Located only 8 miles from Burlington, 30-60 minutes from many top ski resorts, and a 10-minute drive to beaches and sunsets on Lake Champlain, Hearthwood offers convenient access to main attractions while being a stone's throw from historical Shelburne Village with its artisanal restaurants, quaint shops, charming vineyards, craft breweries and museums. Come visit and discover the magic of Hearthwood! Situated on a tranquil road only 15 minutes from downtown Burlington and nestled in 8 acres of serene forest, our elegant farmhouse, Hearthwood, is designed to be like a charming boutique-style B&B. The house is split up with a completely private guesthouse on one side and our family living separately on the other. The Lakeview Suite is one of our six large, elegant and fully private suites (each with its own private bathroom) available for guests to come to relax and rejuvenate. In addition to the suites, there is also a large fully-appointed gourmet guest kitchen stocked with a wide variety of breakfast fixings, a laundry room, and a living room for relaxing. We also offer a large selection of indoor and outdoor games and yoga mats upon request for guests to use while visiting. Guests also have access to our private forest and expansive lawns with Adirondack chairs and a picnic table for enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine. Our spacious suites are each newly renovated with high ceilings and serene forested views. Uniquely decorated with a blend of modern and antique furniture, they are designed to provide the experience of beauty, comfort and ease. Each has a deluxe pillow-top queen-sized bed, hand-scraped maple floors, comfortable arm chairs with throw blankets for journaling or curling up by the enormous picture windows, large closets, and tables for working or eating meals privately. They are furnished almost entirely with natural materials including soft cotton duvets, woven wool carpets, linen drapes and wooden hangers. They are also appointed with DirectTV, wireless internet (although not fast enough to stream movies), all linens, and towels. The Lakeview Suite is decorated in creams and blues. It has a private ensuite bath, large, beautiful windows overlooking the backyard which offers a distant but lovely view of the lake and a crystal chandelier to give it an extra touch of elegance. Or you may prefer one of our other suites.... The Rustic Suite: Decorated in the Italian colors of deep red, gold and blue. This south facing room has a large en suite bathroom, is the brightest of our three suites and gets wonderful afternoon sun that will make you want to curl up in front of the window and soak it all in. The Forest Suite: Decorated in creamy whites with accents of blue and green. It offers plenty of space for yoga, and has a full wall of windows for a truly serene forest view. You might even start “ommm-ing.” :) Since each suite is private, it's completely your choice whether to spend time on your own or hangout in the common areas and meet other guests. Either way, we invite you to come and enjoy your time in Vermont with us here at Hearthwood for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. Guests have access to their private suite and bathroom as well as all common areas of the guesthouse including the full guest kitchen, dining area, laundry facilities, and living room. They also have use of the expansive lawns and are free to wander the paths in our 8 acres of forest. A set of keys for both the guesthouse main door and private suite allows guests to enter on their own schedule. (Please note: Quiet hours are from 10pm-9am.) We live on the premises in a completely separate part of the house and are available from 9am to 8pm for any questions, concerns or just to say hello. Occasionally, guests may see us around the property outdoors or in the guesthouse as we garden, tidy up or prepare rooms for incoming guests. Otherwise, we simply give them space to relax and enjoy. (After hours, we're available via phone or text message for emergencies or urgent issues. Each guest is given our cell phone number for this reason.) This little corner of rural Vermont is only 2 miles from restaurants and shops, and minutes from beaches and sunsets on Lake Champlain. Sample local delights at vineyards and breweries a stone's throw away, and browse nearby museums and galleries. A car is definitely your best option for visiting us. However, Burlington has excellent public bus transportation, which extends out into the surrounding communities, and Hearthwood is only 2 miles from a public bus stop in Shelburne that provides transportation into Burlington. There is also an extensive network of bike lanes for those who prefer their transportation on two wheels. And as a last resort, there are also taxis available. Nestled on the border between the picturesque towns of Charlotte and Shelburne, Hearthwood is minutes away from almost anything you'll need. Visit the majestic Vanderbilt estate (Shelburne Farms), window shop in Shelburne Village, take a short hike up Mt. Philo with a picnic lunch and enjoy the panoramic views at the top, visit the breathtaking Charlotte Beach, find covered bridges, explore architecture and folk art at Shelburne Museum, or simply relax in our gardens. Your choices are limitless.
