Located 40 minutes from Belleayre Mountain and about 45 minutes from Hunter, this post-and-beam in Woodstock is available now through May 15, which gives you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the winter recreation season. The listing mysteriously specifies “indoor pool not included,” which makes us wonder, is there an indoor pool but the tenants can’t use it? Or is that just a general piece of information? Beds: 3. Baths: 2.5. Square Feet: 2342. Lot Size: 1 acre.
