About this property

This place is a biker, skier and artist’s paradise 4 miles from Kingdom Trails!

If you are looking for the true Vermont experience, a 4 mile scenic bike ride to Kingdom Trails, this place is for you. The property is located on top of 40 acres, with views of Vermont's green mountains in all directions and not a road in sight. The house is a artisan's dream, with built-in cherry cabinets, hardwood floors and concrete counter tops. Everything you could possibly need is here for a perfect Vermont vacation; wood stove, washer and dryer, fire pit, well appointed kitchen, trails to hike and snowshoe and a small cabin in the woods (with it's own woodstove). Bike or drive 5 miles on a scenic dirt road to East Burke Village, surrounded by skiing and mountain biking trails. Or jump in your car and head out on the pavement to beautiful Lake Willoughby. If you're an artist, or just love beautiful places, there are plenty of gardens and stonewalls to sketch, paint or photograph, and some big trees to dream under.


My husband, and sculptor, David Tanych and I (Meryl Lebowitz) have been working on this property for the past 10 years. We designed and built all of the buildings, which include an art studio, woodworking shop, metal studio and house.
I consider this compound our finest collaboration. We love having people connect with the property and encourage you to feel creative here! Bring cameras, sketch pads, notebooks...or just chill. It's fun to walk the trails and check out David's ponds at the bottom of our hill.

Please let us know if you might be bringing a pet. We ask that they not be left by themselves in the apartment, unless crated. We also have a $30 per day, per pet fee.

If you're looking for a place that can feed your soul, as well as offer you access to the best of what Vermont has to offer, this is the spot. Kids love it too, and yes, we have a bb gun.

Beautiful setting close to trails
This property was fantastic! We had gorgeous views, the apartment was much bigger than expected. Our dogs were welcomed and had a great time. We were a few minutes from all the trails. This place was perfect for us, we would absolutely stay again!

Région bucolique
Magnifique secteur avec la vue sur les montagnes et paysages bucoliques. Couché de soleil sur les montagnes est imprenable. Endroit de rêve et paisible et parfait pour amener une petite famille car le site est sécuritaire et l’espace est vaste pour qu’ils y jouent. Il y a de bonnes chances que nous y revenions l’an prochain.

Great stay, beautiful property in the NEK!
Property was great! We had a wonderful time. The apartment is larger than expected, and the wood burner makes it super cozy on cold VT days. The location had tons of art/sculptures to take in with the landscape. We had a young child who enjoyed the toys and books available at the apartment. I would recommend this location to anyone looking to stay in Vermont’s North East Kingdom.

About the host

Hosted by Meryl Lebowitz

Host profile image
I am an oil painter, who has been working as an artist for 30 years. David is a woodworker, and metal artist. Together we have collaborated on our property for 11 years. Recently, we have been spending our winters in California, perusing our art careers, returning to Vermont in time to plant the garden.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property with a vision of making it into a compound that would inspire creativity. It was a blank canvas with an incredible vista, except for the acres of clear-cut forest, which made it look as if a bomb had been dropped. First we cleaned up the land, which took a year, David built a barn to house our equipment on the second year, I started the perennial gardens, and together with our son, we began building the stone walls. The third year, my studio and David's woodshop were built, we then were able to work up here, while we lived off site. We began the house the following year, and David had the opportunity to build a structure with a rounded wall (the front wall of our house)....We lived in my studio for 6 months. Our first project in the house was an apartment, complete with David's beautiful wood cabinets and concrete counter tops. We lived there while we began working on the rest of our home. It is this apartment which we now rent on Homeaway.

What makes this property unique

Benefits? This compound is like heaven. Gardens, trails, firepits, a cabin in the woods, fresh air, no traffic, walking and running loops, privacy, organic veggies, beauty, beauty, beauty....

If you want to vacation in a rural area, you cant do better than this. And town is only 4 miles away.
