Authentic Log Home in Warren. Ski town. Mountain biking. Short walk to lake. | Ski Chalet in Warren

Nestled in the heart of Vermont, Kismet Cabin offers a central location for a mecca of activities. Just steps away from an array of adventures, wedding venues, & tranquil retreats, this authentic log home is ideal for friends, families, and multigenerational gatherings. It features two living rooms, two kitchens, three bedrooms, five beds, two queen pull-out sofas, a wrap-around deck, fire pit, & a covered porch with a porch swing—perfect for enjoying the morning sunrise or evening star gazing.
The Kismet Cabin resembles a duplex featuring a connecting room. Initially, it was a modest seasonal cabin constructed in the 60s. Later, in the 90s, a Log Home extension was added using locally harvested timber, connecting to the original structure. It presents two distinct ambiences: the airy and luminous log side, complete with a dining space and generous kitchen, and the snug, inviting cabin side (remodeled in 2015) that radiates tranquility and comfort.

ADDITIONAL SLEEPING
The compact loft houses two twin inflatable mattresses. The loft is short and not designed for standing. It overlooks the second living room. It was my cherished hideaway as a child and teenager, and it's becoming just as beloved by my children!

The vanity houses a refreshing mist, soothing lotion, and even artisanal lip balm. If you've forgotten any essentials, check under the sink for a hairdryer, spare toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, a sewing kit, and more.
COVERED PORCH
The front porch is equipped with a swing, two Adirondack chairs, and a bistro table, making it an ideal spot for savoring your morning coffee or relaxing with an evening cocktail.
BACKYARD
Trace the path of Edison lights along the wraparound deck to the backyard, where a terraced vegetable and flower garden invites you to partake. Discover a fire pit encircled by eight convertible chairs, complete with a woodpile and cooking grates near the forest's edge. The back porch, also reachable from Bedroom 2, features a twin and two single Adirondack chairs with a table. A woodland garden meanders around the cabin, leading back to the parking area.
---------------------------------------------------
PARKING/DRIVING/VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
The cabin driveway accommodates parking for two vehicles, with additional space for up to two vehicles available across the road.
In SUMMER and AUTUMN 4-wheel drive is NOT NECESSARY but please know the last 0.5 mi is a dirt road.
In WINTER all vehicles MUST HAVE 4-wheel drive and winter tires. It is a steep dirt road the last 0.25 mi.
During MUD SEASON (the time when everything thaws as the earth gets ready for spring, typically sometime between late March and early May) it is RECOMMENDED to have a vehicle with a higher clearance and 4 wheel drive. Also, during mud season both vehicles must park in the lower driveway.
--------------------------------------
Please avoid driving up Hillside Road without a 4-wheel drive vehicle in winter. Those who do so during winter and subsequently get stuck will incur a $200 fine. While our neighbors are kind and helpful, they do not appreciate the road being blocked unnecessarily.
One parking space is typically available (though not guaranteed) at the hill's base for guests who opt to park their vehicle there and either walk up or catch a ride with another guest. When I was a kid, it was common practice in winter to leave the Prelude at the bottom and do shuttle runs in the Isuzu!
