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).

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.

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.

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.

If you are traveling with 2+ dogs, please get in touch for pre-approval before booking. Guests traveling with one dog may book instantly.

Dogs must be included at the time of booking, and a $50 pet fee will be included in your reservation cost.

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 from fall through winter.

In the fall, enjoy scenic country drives to check out the foliage, local farms and markets, and leisurely days exploring the shops and restaurants in nearby Woodstock, White River Junction, and Hanover.

During the holiday season, Woodstock is full of festive charm, especially over Wassail Weekend, an annual holiday festival (this year from December 11th-13th).

Once winter arrives, spend your days skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing before heading home for a soak in the hot tub.
