A Timeless Vermont Retreat with STR Potential: 882 Mitchell Road, Shrewsbury
If you’re looking for a storybook Vermont property with short-term rental (STR) potential, 882 Mitchell Road in Shrewsbury is calling your name. Nestled on nearly 50 acres of pristine land with mountain views, a serene pond, and end-of-road privacy, this home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a destination.
Why We Love It for STRs:
From a StaySavvy perspective, this property checks multiple boxes for Airbnb success:
Scenic Seclusion: Travelers are increasingly looking for peace, privacy, and a connection to nature. This property’s setting—bordered by 2,000+ acres of state forest—offers exactly that.
Character & Warmth: The home itself exudes Vermont charm, with wood beams, vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and handcrafted details that guests remember (and review).
Amenities for All Seasons: A spring-fed pond, fire pit, hot tub, covered porch, and nearby hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling trails make it a year-round draw for guests.
Room to Scale: With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, it can easily host families, groups, or retreats. Bonus: a walk-out lower level and detached 2-car garage offer space for potential add-ons like a game room or studio suite.
What to Know Before You Buy:
The town of Shrewsbury is welcoming and ideally situated between Rutland and Okemo/Killington.
Vermont STR regulations vary by town and county, so a proper zoning check is recommended (we can help with that).
With a little marketing finesse and thoughtful furnishings, this property could be positioned as a high-end rural escape or an “eco-luxury” listing.
