West Dummerston House | Renovated Church Sanctuary: Ski and Swim, Relax, Cook, Gather.

3 Bedroom House in West Dummerston, Dummerston

I bought this church from the Roman Catholic Diocese 15 years ago.
25 foot cathedral ceilings, six burner cook stove, soapstone farm sink, double shower heads, two full baths, original stained glass with beautiful morning light. House yoga mats, gas fireplace, 40" flat screen with cable and couch and stuff chairs for lounging and talking, 9' cherry dining table
The stained glass is original and is illuminated each morning by the sunrise coming up over the hill. This stunning space is the result of a three year renovation. The curved walls and archways create a true sanctuary like space that is hard to leave once you are there.
Stratton Mountain is 30 minutes to the access road and under 35 to Mount Snow. Brattleboro, just five minutes away, has been voted consistently as one of the best small towns in America to visit. If you want to ski, snow shoe, shop, eat, sip local brew and explore the town, or never leave the Sanctuary, this is your spot!
The master suite is up in the extended 'choir loft' that I built out to make a spacious bedroom and dressing room, and has it's own full bath with double-headed shower and 54" claw-foot tub.
There are two beautiful, very small private rooms to the left and right of what used to be the altar. They feature curved walls, queen beds, and a large skylight in each. There is a full bathroom for these rooms with European style shower as well as full laundry for the house.
The kitchen is a chef's delight with a six burner, two grill, double oven Garland Restaurant gas stove, double soapstone farm sink and beautifully detailed concrete countertops. Lots of counter space and a large farm table island in the middle provide adequate prep, serving and 'hang out' space (everyone seems to love to congregate in the kitchen!).
The heat is radiant floor which is wonderful for this space with 25' vaulted ceilings. There is also a propane instant on-demand glass door fireplace on the 'altar' for ambience throughout the space and cozying up to after a day on the mountains.
The TV lounge under the choir loft has couches and a lounge chair for watching movies, reading and relaxing. We have cable, Netflix and Amazon capability through the Blue Ray player, and of course, high speed Internet.
There are country roads for walking, a wonderful river to visit nearby, a great neighborhood if you want to make friends, and the US post office right in the village.
The Church is a most welcoming and generous space for one to six!

Summary: Natalie’s home is a unique architectural, historical and artistic experience. The place is very fun and it’s exciting to cook on a giant ten burner antique stove just as it’s cool to shower in her bathroom finished in true artisanal tiles. Loved it.

Summary: We had a great time in Dummerston! The vrbo was amazing and not too far away from scenic areas and shopping.

Summary: My partner is from Vermont so we selected a place where the family could gather to celebrate his father's 86th birthday. The home is full of art and lots of treasures to behold. There is a tenant downstairs, so be aware. There is a library/community space behind the home for extra parking and space for little ones to play. The rules are very specific so just check in with the owners beforehand if you have little kids.

Summary: This place is a gem. We were looking for a getaway that allowed us downtime, relaxation and was centrally located to our interests. (Outdoor activities) Not only did we have those needs met but the kitchen was well appointed and the space is so beautiful that it helped us recharge in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Natalie is a friendly, responsive and easy to work with host. We will be returning!!

Summary: The Church House (as we called it) was an amazing space that held our family both physically and metaphorically with love. The space is open and gracious and the accommodations were very comfortable. This is truly a unique experience and one that I would highly recommend.
