Silver Fern House
Property Details
Get away from it all at Silver Fern House! This warm and welcoming home blends natural beauty with a stylish and spacious interior. With a hot tub, fire pit, deck, pellet stove, theater room, and speakeasy, you don't even need to leave the house for a fun-filled vacation.
The location offers privacy and seclusion, but is just 20 minutes from shopping and dining in the charming village of Woodstock, with easy access to Killington and Okemo (both are about 40 minutes away).
KITCHEN + DINING
Our fully stocked kitchen features modern appliances, pantry essentials, and everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. Four counter seats make it easy to grab a quick bite or keep the chef company with a glass of wine.
Gather for meals at the dining table, which seats eight and is surrounded by windows overlooking the deck and gardens.
LIVING ROOM
Relax on the leather sectional for movie nights, board games, or simply chat and catch up with friends and family. In the cooler months, the pellet stove adds cozy warmth and ambiance.
BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS
Silver Fern House sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms on three levels, each with a queen bed.
Bedrooms 1+ 2 are upstairs, bedroom 3 is on the ground floor, and bedroom 4 is in the basement.
Bedroom 1: Spacious and light-filled, with high ceilings, abundant windows, and a semi-private en suite bathroom.
Bedroom 2: Cozy and charming with a cottage-core vibe; shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with Bedroom 1, which can be accessed from the hall.
Bedroom 3: This room is decorated in soothing natural tones with views of the yard. A 3/4 bathroom sits just across the hall.
Bedroom 4: Accented with vintage sleds and snowshoes for a touch of Vermont nostalgia, this room invites sweet dreams of snow. There is a 3/4 across the hall.
HOME THEATER
Your own private cinema awaits — complete with a massive screen, surround sound, and even a popcorn maker. Settle into two recliners, an armchair, and oversized beanbags for the ultimate movie-night experience.
SPEAKEASY AND MUSIC ROOM
For a night out without leaving home, head to the speakeasy above the garage. This hidden spot features a karaoke machine, drum set, bar seating, and two comfy couches. (Note: quiet hours are 9pm-8am)
OUTDOOR SPACES
The property is beautifully landscaped and completely private, with seasonal blooms, an apple orchard, and a pick-your-own vegetable garden in summer.
Spend fall nights around the in ground fire pit, soak under the stars in the hot tub, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings as you grill dinner on the deck.
Please note that once winter weather hits, the fire pit will be inaccessible due to snow cover.
Other details to note...

SKIING + SNOWBOARDING
Silver Fern House is within an hour of some of Vermont's top ski destinations:
Where you'll be
Perched on a hill, Silver Fern House offers both privacy and convenience in the heart of Vermont’s Upper Valley.
Just minutes from the villages of Hartland and Quechee, and 20 minutes from central Woodstock, you’ll have easy access to some of the area’s most beloved shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the endless options nearby — from hiking trails, swimming holes, and scenic bike routes to skiing at Killington and Okemo (both under an hour away).
In autumn, the hillsides come alive with Vermont’s famous foliage, while winter brings postcard-perfect snow days.
Despite the peaceful setting, you’re never far from essentials: farm stands, local markets, and general stores are a short drive away. Whether you’re here for a quiet country escape or as a base to explore quintessential Vermont towns, Silver Fern House is the perfect home base for your adventures.
Getting around
Winter visitors require a vehicle with AWD/4WD and either all season or snow tires. The last 1/4 mile of your drive and the driveway are on a steep approach on an unpaved road. While they are plowed and sanded as needed, guests without appropriate vehicles have had difficulty reaching the house.
Please be sure to read the Winter Driving and Access Disclosure at the end of the rental agreement when you make your reservation. If you have any questions or concerns prior to booking, please email hello@splendidstaysvt.com
Features and Amenities
What Our Guests Are Saying
-
Beautiful place all around. We had a wonderful time!
-
Great location and a peaceful drive to Woodstock and quick to get to Quechee. At the end of the week I didn't want to leave! Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds for all ages. The layout of the house is pretty open, but those of us in our party with two small babies were able to stretch out in the basement "apartment" as we called it which was very sound proof (and use the provided pack and play). The yard / garden is beautiful and while we didn't make use of it, there was abundant outdoor space on the porch and with a fire pit. The basement bathroom was a bit of patchy with hot water as it was next to the laundry room, but we made out fine sharing the two upstairs bathrooms. The lighting is a bit low in some key areas throughout the house—the dining table at night can feel a little dim and the master bedroom also felt quite dark at night though it got beautiful natural light during the day. Some things to consider but overall would definitely book this place again!

Beautiful home! Perfect place to stay for girls trip to Vermont!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely beautiful, very well maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The location was excellent and very convenient. Everything about the property exceeded our expectations — it was comfortable, stylish, and felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
-
We loved our stay at this property! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The grounds were beautiful and included lots of fun bonuses like the fire pit and hot tub. We also enjoyed the board games and the kind gift of pancake mix and maple syrup. The area has lots of attractions and is extremely scenic. Kate was always very polite and responded quickly to questions. We would definitely stay here again!
-
We had a lovely stay, and Kate was very responsive throughout our visit. The house had everything we needed, and the setting was wonderfully peaceful and quiet. We really enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it!
-
Beautiful yard. We played lawn games and soaked in the hot tub. Her house was cozy and clean. Host was very responsive. Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved the place. There was plenty of space for our family to relax. We loved having coffee or cider in the Adirondack chairs. The kitchen has everything you would dream of needing, including rich coffee, pancake mix, and Vermont syrup. My son is a drummer and loved the room above the garage. Both teens loved the movie room and hot tub. I loved the comfortable bed and beautiful forest view. A perfect Vermont vacation spot. Thank you!
