3 Bedroom House in Greensboro

This one-level, 2,700 sq. foot structure is known as 'Gray Eyrie.' Built as their dream house by a retired professor & his wife, it sits atop Greensboro's Baker Hill with a 180-degree view over the village and 700-acre Lake Caspian, one of Vermont's most pristine lakes. The 80-acre property adjoins The Nature Conservancy's 256-acre Barr Hill Preserve, offering miles of hiking trails and picnic sites with sightings of wildlife and views spanning the Green Mountains of Vermont and White Mountains of New Hampshire. Biking is another popular activity.
A separate guesthouse (VRBO property 300035) with two bedrooms, sleeping four, is available for rent as well. A dock on the lake, 0.6 mile down Baker Hill, offers the house and guest house a canoe and private access to swimming, boating and fishing.
Both the main house and guesthouse are closed for the winter, Oct. 17-May 15.
Greensboro is a preeminently rural community in Orleans County, one of three that make up Vermont's fabled Northeast Kingdom.

The village and hinterland offer picturesque drives over back-country roads beside rivers, lakes and hills.

Summary: Gray Eyrie is one my favorite places on earth. Clive and his family are friendly, generous, and wonderful hosts. The house and the view are incredibly special, and Greensboro is a charming community. The surrounding region provides so many ways to enjoy the beauty of the natural world. Am always sad to leave, and already planning my return!

Summary: We just came back from spending 5 days at the Gray Eyrie. We all wished we had booked for the whole week. You can't beat the view. We enjoyed our dinners in the backyard overlooking the lake and its surroundings. We took many pictures. The Eyrie is perfect for people who are looking for a peaceful retreat that is still close to many places to visit. From the house we had direct access to Barr Hill. That was a great hike. The Greensboro grocery store is only 5 minutes away. It offers anything you need to cook a delicious meal. We also had tea at a lovely place in Hardwick called the Perennial Pleasures Nursery. The property also offers a private access to the lake that you share with renters from the guest house. The owner of the house, Clive, is very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Clive for renting out your beautiful property. We'll be back!

Summary: We stayed 11 days and would love to return. The house was clean, sunlit and beautiful, with all the amenities you need and none you don't need. The tranquility, the amazing birdsong, the views and lake swims are unsurpassed. As an illustration of the peacefulness, we took a hike to the adjoining nature reserve and suddenly heard a low rumbling breaking the silence. Turns out it was the sound of cows chewing. Thank you!

Summary: Peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. Quiet too! A place to be for a little solitude from the bustle of urban life and to enjoy what the Northeast Kingdom is about.

Summary: When you approach from the road you'll see a house on top of a hill ... and yes that's it! It is comfortable, spacious, well equipped, with large panoramic windows that afford grand views of the Green Mountains and Vermont's ever changing skies. It borders conservation land; you can go hiking right out the front door. Go down the half mile driveway and across the road is your private Caspian Lake dock with canoe. If you are looking for the latest in 21st century amenities and entertainment, this may not be for you (but it has a phone and Internet and you can stream anything you want). But if you are looking for comfort in solitude surrounded by the outdoors, you can hardly do better. And for rainy days the house has more books than some libraries, including children's books.
