Colesbrook Manor is a retreat destination any time of year but it sounds like a perfect luxury rental for Spring/Summer 2011.

Wake up to the sounds of Coles Brook as it meanders a course within the property grounds. A level road along the stream is perfect for a relaxing walk in the woods. About a half mile upstrem is a dam and a shallow lake.

Time for quiet contemplation and lengthy walks are possible. You may even see a moose!

This outstanding manor house was designed and built by the owner (who teaches carpentry and solar design), from the timber on the 70 acre lot. Students from the Heartwood Owner-Builder School assisted.

With its 6 bedrooms and 2 baths, antique-filled rooms, and convenient location, Colesbrook Manor will be the destination of one of your most unique vacations.
