Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
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. Spend summer days hiking, biking, swimming, or paddling at one of the many state parks nearby.

The space
Clean lines, tasteful decor, and calming neutral tones set the stage for a vacation home that feels both elegant and restful — the perfect place for families and groups to connect and unwind.

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 full 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. Full bath 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
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.

Fire up the new gas grill on the elevated deck with bench seating for 6–8, soak under the stars in the hot tub, or gather around the firepit for s’mores and campfire games.

Guest access
There is a locked supply closet in the basement, but otherwise the entire property is all yours!

Other things to note
PETS
Our home is dog friendly, however we do not accept cats due to allergies.

PELLETS AND FIREWOOD
We provide pellets for the pellet stove.

We do not provide wood for the fire pit, but it is available for purchase about 5 mins away (details provided ahead of check-in).

LOCAL EXPLORING
Silver Fern House is a great home base for exploring the Upper Valley in late spring and early summer.

Spend the day visiting farms and markets, hiking nearby trails, or wandering the shops and cafés in Woodstock and Hanover before returning to relax in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit in the evening.

Neighborhood highlights

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.
