The Cole House is Avaialble
for the Ski Season
from December 1, 2008 - April 13, 2009.
We are specifically looking for a family for the house.
Rent:
$10,500 for the Season plus Utilities.
What the Cole House and Cole Cabin are all about
The Cole House and the companion Cole Cabin offer unpretentious, but authentic ski housing that is away from the city-like atmosphere at the Stratton Ski Resort. These houses are a refuge from the hurly-burly of the city and the resort itself. They are a short five minute drive from the resort, yet they are separate and apart on a dead-end dirt road that is kept open all year round. To get to the resort, take a right at the bottom of the lane, 500 feet later take a right up Brazier's Way, the back access road to the resort. Five minutes later you ready to ski.
Want to spend a day doing something other than ski. Want to getaway from the crowds at the resort? Consider the Cole House and Cole Cabin. With a skateable pond on the property, you suddenly have an alternative activity for the kids that costs you nothing extra except the labor to shovel the snow off it.
The Details
How many people will the Cole House sleep comfortably?
Six (6) people comfortably, eight in a pinch. There are lots
of beds but a small amount of common space, This dwelling is ideal for
a small to medium sized family. The last three years we have had a family
of four in the house and they have loved it. Need a larger space for
two families? Consider renting both the Cole Cabin and the Cole house.
Others have done it. You can have one house for each family, yet they
are close enough that you can easily do things together.
How many Cars can the parking area next to the
house hold in the winter?
Three (3) cars is pretty much it. Unfortunately, cars can't be
parked on the road, because they will block the snow plow. There is
a parking area down at the bottom of the lane opposite the golf school,
but I can't guarantee that Stratton will keep it open this winter.
How many bedrooms does the Cole House have and
what size are the beds?
There are two bedrooms downstairs, each with a double bed. There are
two bedrooms upstairs, one with a double bed and one with a double and
a single bed. There is also a little sleeping nook upstairs with a cot
in it suitable for a child.
How many bathrooms are there?
There is a split bath downstairs, as in a sink and a toilet in
one room and a sink, tub and shower in the other room. Upstairs there
is a bath with a shower. There is a washer and dryer in the basement.
What period does the rental cover?
From Saturday, December 1, 2008 - Sunday, April 13, 2009. This
rental is for recreational use only, not full time use. Recreational
use is defined as for weekends, holiday periods, vacations, etc. No
one may inhabit the dwelling full time during the rental. The utilities
and the rent are based on recreational use only.
How much is the rent for the Cole House?
$10,500.00 plus Utilities (click to
see a listing of the utilities)
$3500 is paid up front for the utilities. This sum covers everything
including plowing, caretaking, propane, Wood, Electricity, Satellite
programming, Water conditioning and Telephone (local service; you use
your credit card for Long Distance calls). This fee does not cover
cleaning
or trash removal. Cleaning can be arranged with a local cleaning person
for an additional fee. Trash disposal is easy for you to do. It is
but
a five minute drive just past the Sunbowl to the Stratton trash and
recycling center or you can take the trash home with you on weekends.
I pay the bills during the ski season and deduct the cost from the
$3500. At the end of the season you get an accounting and any money
not used
is returned to you.
Can we sell Shares in the house?
No. Only the family whose names appear on the Letter of Agreement
and their friends, when they are there, may use the dwelling. This dwelling
may not be sublet nor may shares be sold apportioning use of the house
or cabin.
Is there a Security Deposit and how much is it?
$1000.00
