The sidewalk starts at the cottage which leads to the town in just over 1 mile. Perfect for a walk or bike ride. Pico, Killington and Bromley Mountains all less than an hour drive. Plentiful fishing and boating opportunities. 3 miles to Lake St Catherine, under 10 miles to Lake Bomoseen. Slate Valley biking trails surround the area.
The Cottage is located in the East Poultney Historic District, which encompasses the historic center of the rural village of East Poultney, Vermont. The district is centered on the triangular green at the center of the village (across the street from the front yard) and was developed mainly from the late 18th through mid-19th centuries, producing a village with strong Federal and Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The Cottage is right next door to the old Poultney Schoolhouse which is now the Poultney Historical Society building. Tours of select buildings are given by appointment only through the Poultney Historical Society.
This is the perfect area to ride a bicycle. The sidewalk starts right out by the front lawn, and continues down all the way to Poultney. There are plenty of local bike trails to ride on. For more trail information please visit https://slatevalleytrails.org/bike
The Cottage is located next to the Slate Valley snowmobile trail. The trail is easy to get on from the Cottage and is located right across the street at the Baptist church.
