Third queen bedroom, a large utility closet for skis and boots, full bath with tub and shower, and a stackable washer and dryer by the entry.

Location
Talmont sits on the ridge above Sunnyside, with sweeping lake views on the drive up. The house borders protected conservancy land, so the forest next door stays wild. Fire Sign Cafe, Shadyside Lounge and West Shore Market are minutes away, and the Paige Meadows trailhead parking is just 0.4 miles away for cross-country skiing.

Good to know
- Stairs: the original staircase is steep, with open gaps between treads.
- Heat: gas central heating, plus the wood stove. The furnace fan is electric, so the wood stove is the backup heat during power outages.
- Internet: West Shore service can drop during storms.
- Owner apartment: a separate apartment below with its own entrance. The owners may be there on occasion and plan around your stays.
- Cleaning: no service during the lease; your group shares cleaning and restocking.
- Bears: trash in the bear box, nothing scented in cars, and the door’s bear wires on when you leave.

- Email us your group size, ski plans and any dog details.
