The Space
Welcome to Old Reed’s Mill! Located just moments away from the house, the crystal clear Orbeton is a native brook trout stream that gracefully winds through more than a mile of the land you'll occupy. As the warm summer months arrive, take the opportunity to dive into the refreshing swimming hole, where you'll find yourself captivated by the breathtaking beauty of nature seamlessly merging all around you.
Upon entering the house from the mudroom, prepare to be embraced by a stunning open-concept interior, newly renovated to perfection and adorned with repurposed boards hailing from a former barn on the property, imparting a vintage ambiance that is sure to impress. As you continue walking throughout the premises, it's impossible not to admire the artful union of rustic, timber-inspired details and minimalist decor, which serves to accentuate the property's innate connection to the natural world.
Once you've settled in, raise a glass to a well-deserved vacation and get a breath of fresh mountain air while perched on the second floor deck, enveloped by a sea of sugar maple and white birch trees in every direction. Within the embrace of our verdant woodland, the trees generously offer their sweet nectar, which we artfully transform into exquisite maple syrup every March. Our charming, on-site sugar shack is where this alchemy unfolds, as we lovingly coax the essence of the forest into a culinary delight.
