Beauty of Nature

This is my third stay here. It's a wonderful cabin and property for nature lovers! The lovely deck is a perfect place to take in the surroundings. A pond, a waterfall, a fire pit and a cozy cabin, totally private, what more could you ask for? If you have physical limitations, just be aware that you have to walk up a small hill and some stairs from the parking area and the spiral staircase inside may be difficult to navigate for some.

Escape to peace and quiet

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. You can enjoy this secluded home. Lovely pond with kayaks and canoe. Listen to the stream while relaxing on the deck. Great weekend getaway. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Gorgeous spot

This home is in a gorgeous, private spot. There is a bridge over a small waterfall to get to the house! We loved hearing the water, the great views out the front windows, the comfy sitting areas and the heated floor in the bathroom. This might not be the best choice for guests with mobility challenges, as the outside steps might be tough and there is a spiral staircase inside to get to the bedrooms. We had no trouble at all and loved the fairytale quality. The bedrooms do have low ceilings but we didn't have any trouble with that either. Easy drive to Woodstock. Loved it!!

Beautiful setting

Even though it rained our entire stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness. The view from the deck overlooking the falls and creek to the pond and the rest of the property was amazing. Everything inside was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!

My husband and I had a lovely stay in Barnard at the cabin. It is rustic and very charming! There are some stairs to climb and some low ceilings in the bedroom but it has a wonderful warm and cozy feel and I would recommend it.

Love this cabin!

My family and I just finished a lovely stay at this perfect cabin. We were absolutely charmed by every aspect of this place, from the pond in which we swam and canoed every day, to the small waterfall that runs through the property, to the beautifully appointed cabin with fantastic views, great linens and a well-stocked kitchen. We would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants a great getaway.

Excellent place to relax!

Hearing the waterfall while enjoying the night sky next to the fire melted any stress we had away. The place is a perfect cozy getaway from the world's noise. We had a great time canoeing and hiking in the area. Woodstock delivers on excellent dining. A great time!

Wonderful time in Vermont!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Listening to the waterfall next to the cabin was so peaceful. The pond was so much fun. The kids really enjoyed the beach and kayaking. The cabin was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The kids are already talking about coming back!

Great cabin and property = real getaway!

Lovely property with million dollar views. Want to come back in winter! Quaint and charming cabin is well appointed with nice kitchen. Rustic only in sense of one bath (downstairs) and sloped low ceiling in bedrooms upstairs.

Peaceful vacation spot

We really enjoyed the deck and the pond. The newly renovated bathroom is very nice. Location is great for hiking, biking, Woodstock and Barnard. Guests need to bring own drinking water because water from tap is not okay to drink. Sound of waterfall is lovely.

Beautiful view, peaceful, great location.

We were looking for a rental in Barnard and this was a perfect location. The home is situated on a hill overlooking a pond. The loft for sleeping doesn’t have much headroom, but I enjoyed waking up and feeling like I was a treehouse. Loved the hammock, spacious kitchen, and radiant flooring in the bathroom. We hope to return again!

Stunning location, well equipped and comfortable cabin

The cabin is in a stunning, secluded location with beautiful views down a tree-lined valley and over the lake. The cabin has a very spacious and comfortable first floor living space. The bedrooms are a tight squeeze - the photos on the listing give a fair view. Woodstock, 15 mins away is a beautiful town and great for restaurants and shopping. We visited in the Fall and the colors were INCREDIBLE

Great house on a waterfall!

We have a great time at this cabin! Lots of natural light, beautiful deck overlooking the waterfall and a grill where we did all our dinner cooking. Full kitchen is also available where we made breakfasts. Amount of space was perfect for husband, me & 2 little kids. We went on hikes close by in Woodstock and had lunches at the Farmer's Market. Would definitely recommend this place!

We had the most wonderful and relaxing experience in a beautiful home. The scenario and peacefulness is just what we needed! This is a home we would love to visit again. It was clean, inviting and comfortable. We were able to visit Silver Lake, and the Barnard General store, which brings you back in time. We would like thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
