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.
East Wallingford is home to this vacation home. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Green Mountain National Forest and Star Lake Wildlife Management Area, while Community Historical Museum of Mount Holly and Mill Museum are cultural highlights. Traveling with kids? Consider The Ice House Ice Skating and Timber Ripper Mountain Coaster. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, or check out other outdoor activities such as snowmobiling and sledding.
