About this property

Nestled in the Woods of Chimney Hill--Very Close to Wilmington VT/Mt Snow

Enjoy unwinding at Fiddlehead--a peaceful, well-appointed home nestled in the ferns and woods of the Chimney Hill resort community. The quaint and historic town of Wilmington with its delightful shops, restaurants, and full-size grocery store is only 5 minutes away. Hit the slopes at Mt. Snow Ski Area in less than 15 minutes, and reach Stratton Mountain in only half an hour. In five minutes you can be at the expansive Harriman Reservoir for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding and other watersports with many other beautiful clear mountain lakes, rivers, and state parks nearby.

The house features two comfortable living areas, 2 full baths, and spacious accommodations for a group of up to 8 guests in 3 bedrooms and an adorable and private loft. A cozy wood burning stove and two efficient Rennai gas heaters compliment the electric baseboard heating system to keep you toasty on the coldest nights. The main living area opens onto a large deck where you can sit and enjoy being enveloped in the surrounding trees. A fire pit in the back yard beckons you for roasting s'mores or chatting under the stars. This tastefully decorated home is filled with everything you need for a relaxing and worry-free visit, including comfortable beds with premium linens, plush bath towels and a fully equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher, slow-cooker, gas range, microwave/convection oven, and coffee maker. Also included is a full-sized washer and dryer.

Tennis courts, a children's play area, and a seasonal ice skating rink are just a 3 minute walk through the woods. Hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snowmobile trails run along a babbling brook right around the corner from the house. The community clubhouse, a short drive away, has a large outdoor pool, a year-round indoor pool, hot tub, exercise room, game room and other amenities for your use.

Fantastic winter rental!

We rented this house for all of Jan and Feb. It was perfect for our family of 5 plus friends and family overnight visitors. 4 min from downtown Wilmington and 12 min from the main base of mount snow. Bob was an excellent host - incredibly responsive and helpful at all hours. Would highly recommend!

Great family ski house

We felt welcomed into the quaint, charming ski cottage right away. Love the decor and VT mountain feel. It was the perfect place for our family to relax after skiing at Mt. Snow each day. Easy drive to/from the mountain. We would highly recommend. Special thanks to Bob, who was extremely helpful, and easy to reach, before and during the trip. Thank you for your hospitality!

Excellent Winter Getaway

This property was so CLEAN and had every amenity needed for our 4 night stay. Sheets, towels, blankets, fully stocked kitchen, wood for fire and plenty of extras (hand soaps, shampoo/conditioner/bar soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, board games and more). Owners were quick to respond to questions. The layout and location of this property were ideal for the 2 adults and 4 teens in our group. Great spaces to gather for game night or just hanging out and also close to Mt. Snow, restaurants, and shopping. Highly recommend! Thank you Bob and Teri - you have a beautiful home.

Autumn in Vermont

This is a lovely property in southern Vermont. We are very familiar with this area and have spent time at other properties nearby in the past. The house is beautiful, roomy, and quite comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for home cooking. The bedrooms are roomy and lovely. We have not one negative thing to say about the property. The owners communication was great and explanations and instructions clear and not at all onerous. The surrounding area has trails and a nearby stream. The town of Wilmington is delightful. We hope to be back.

Mt Snow Ski Trip

What a lovely place to stay for a three week ski trip! The house was even better than I expected. Clean, warm and so comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and so clean that I didn’t need to clean anywhere before unpacking our food for the trip! Plenty of pots/pans, silverware, dishes and appliances to do any type of cooking. The neighborhood was quiet and snowplowing came quickly after snowfall so that we could get to the ski slope for fresh powder. We traveled with two pups and getting in and out for walks was easy. The house is set up perfectly for winter, where we could easily shed our coats and boots while keeping the rest of the house warm and clean. We really loved the wood stove and firewood in the evening for Apres Ski. The town of Wilmington was fun to explore and has several good restaurants for dining out. Would definitely return here for a future trip.

Great Property in a great Location!

The first thing I noticed about this property was how clean it was. Usually properties that allow pets have a bit of a smell but the hard flooring and furniture covers made it easy to keep things tidy. We visited in early April during Mud Season so we saw sun, rain, snow and sleet. The property served as a cozy place to hang out in bad weather or bask in the sun on the deck, while also offering quick access to town and nearby hiking. The kitchen was well appointed with cookware and utensils so we could cook some meals while also enjoying the local restaurants. Some were closed for mud season until May, which was bit of a bummer but there was still a wide selection to choose from. We'd be glad to stay again in any season.

Cozy cabin

This cabin was the perfect place for our party of 6 to stay for a long weekend. There was more than enough communal space for everyone to hang out with two living rooms, a dining area, and the kitchen. The kitchen was well-stocked with many utensils and cooking items. We also really appreciated the pancake mix and delicious maple cream that the hosts left for us- it was a very sweet touch! We enjoyed the fireplace, and it was nice that every room had its own thermostat to keep us warm on the chilly nights. Location was perfect- only a 3 minute drive to downtown Wilmington and a short drive to Mount Snow. Would highly recommend for large groups!

Amazing getaway!

We loved everything about Fiddlehead! The home is lovely and the kitchen is super equipped. The layout is great and the pictures don’t do justice, it’s so pretty. The beds were very comfy, the wood burning stove was used every day, and the areas around town were fun to visit! We would definitely stay here again. And Bob was wonderful to work with. Very accommodating. Perfect getaway for ski fun at Mt. Snow.
