About this property

On Silver Lake Close To Woodstock

Perched on the edge of pristine Silver Lake, my country home sits on a large rolling lot overlooking the lake enjoyed by many visitors from all corners of the globe.

The house consists of three levels with 4 bedrooms and a bathroom on each level. The upper floor has two bedrooms (queen and full beds), a bathroom with a claw foot bathtub for soaking, and a sitting room with a desk for writing or reading. All the upper level rooms overlook the lake.

On the main floor, you'll find a well-equipped gourmet kitchen, main bedroom with a full bathroom, and a 40-foot sun room for dining while overlooking Silver Lake. The sun room has a work space. The living room, with a large gas fireplace and comfy sectional sofa, is perfect for snuggling up with family and dear friends; playing board games; lingering after a yummy meal; or curling up with a good book.

The light-filled lower level opens up to the patio with its stunning lake view. There's a spacious open floor plan with living room/kitchen, bedroom with queen bed, and full bathroom with a dry sauna.

The house is perfect for gathering with families and friends and also provides many private nooks when you desire space to be solo.

IN THE SUMMER, enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the garden patio. Swim, kayak, or sit on the dock with a good book. There are two kayaks, life jackets and lots of space for lounging by the lake.

Our Weber gas grill makes it easy to prepare yummy meals for the whole family, while enjoying the sunset on Silver Lake. End the day relaxing around the fire pit!

If you choose to explore the immediate area, recreational facilities open to the public include:

1) Robert Trent Jones golf course/ spa / indoor pool,

2) Billings Farm and Museum, a fantastic operating museum/dairy farm annexed to the Rockefeller mansion and National Park consisting of 900 pristine acres for hiking and horseback riding.

Diane is a wonderful host and her home is immaculate and well appointed. Could not have asked for a better week and visit in Barnard for our infant son’s first Christmas. Grandparents and family joined us and everyone was extremely comfortable and able to spread out with their own space to relax. We loved cooking in the very well appointed kitchen and the gas fireplace was well used throughout the week! Can’t wait for the next visit to Silver Lake!

Wonderful vacation spot

The house, location and lake are all perfect for a family vacation. The house is beautiful yet very comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It was great to be able to walk to the general store and the state park. The lake is one of the best for swimming, and we really enjoyed the available kayaks. Communication with the owner was excellent. Everything was wonderful, a treat to be able to stay here.

Winter Getaway at Silver Lake

What an absolutely spectacular place to stay. The home is warm and very inviting. The view of the (snow covered) lake is beautiful. The layout is perfect especially for those that are seeking a little peace and tranquility. If you like to cook/entertain then you will be happy in this kitchen! Nothing is better than a beautiful and well stocked kitchen with great cookware! Everything was just perfect and surpassed my expectations. It was simply the best. I hope to be back in the future.

Wonderful time on SIlver Lake

We had a terrific time in this beautiful house right on Silver Lake. The kitchen was large and very sell stocked. The rest of the house was nicely furnished. Everything was extremely comfortable. Our puppies loved swimming in the lake and running around the large back yard. This is a beautiful part of Vermont with lots to do

Wonderful home in a beautiful spot!

What a wonderful place to spend snowy winter days! We found the peace and beauty we were seeking, both inside, in this lovely home, and while snowshoeing on the frozen lake right outside our door. Best gas fireplace ever and the sectional couch is super comfy! Loved all the windows and the open floor plan. We had such a restorative time and we thank you, Diane. We enjoyed connecting with you!

Beautiful relaxing lake home

My family and I wanted a winter vacation and we surely got it. The home was beautiful and the lake was frozen. There were sleds we were able to use and the back yard was perfect for sledding down. The house was within close distance to multiple ski resorts. We were able to visit three different ones on three different days. The view from the back looking towards the lake was breath taking.

Back for a visit

We had the good fortune of staying at this property in 2021. We always wanted to return and finally our calendars allowed for a brief albeit lovely visit this January. We had the whole house this time which was lovely and much quieter (last time there was a loud teen in the basement apartment...just weekends). The house still has spectacular views and a cozy feel. We like being in Barnard. Not far from Woodstock or some of our Ikon ski mountains. Our host is terrific. Very quick to respond! We hope to return again!

Quintessential Christmas

If you are so fortunate to be able to stay at this property, you will feel as we did, that you have won the vacation Lottery. The property is beyond clean, comfortable(all the beds too) and the care and consciousness that went into linens was not lost on us. We were able to spread out and enjoy the views, yet come together to make dinner in the well appointed Kitchen. Diane was so kind in reaching out during the storm(she was also in communication during our stay to unsure our comfort), and with the whole house generator we had nothing to worry about. Barnard and the lake offer a respite that allows you to unwind and nourish. We hope our path brings us back soon.

A slice of heaven in Vermont

My family and I stayed over Memorial Day weekend and could not have been happier. The location is amazing, with the Barnard General Store being a stone’s throw from the house, and Woodstock a few minutes’ drive away. We spent most of our time outdoors birdwatching and soaking in the incredible views and clean, fresh air but time spent indoors was just as enjoyable, snuggling in front of the fireplace, cooking together in the wonderful kitchen stocked with all the supplies you need, and falling asleep in the very comfortable beds. This is a truly magical place full of happy, loving energy and little glimpses into the extraordinary family to whom it belongs. We wrote an ode to the silver lake retreat in the guest book before dragging ourselves out of the door at checkout...we didn’t want to leave!! Needless to say, it has been officially decided that this is our new family vacation spot and we cannot wait to return.

Beautiful gem on Barnard's Silver Lake

Diane's home is just stunning. It is even more expansive than the photos capture, while still being warm, welcoming, and cozy. It has everything you would need on a relaxing getaway on Silver Lake, with personal touches, and feels private despite being just a short walk to the Barnard General Store (which has groceries and prepared food, should you decide not to stray far from this beautiful home). My family stayed here while they were in town for my wedding and my parents were so happy with the space. My dad made use of the dock, going for paddles early in the morning on quiet Silver Lake and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio together the morning of our wedding. Barnard itself is such a gem of a town with so much to explore in the surrounding area but even if you never left this property, you would have the best time away! Highly recommend this space for families or that group of friends that feel like a vacation in themselves. It is hard to think of leaving the space, but if you do, be sure to go to nearby Fable Farm for their tasting room of natural wines and ciders, Kiss the Cow Farmstand, Abracadabra for coffee and donuts, Cloudland Farm for dinner. And of course, the BGS for pancakes or sandwiches. Thank you Diane for accommodating my family and making our wedding weekend all the more special.
