About this property

Rustic Retreat Cozy and Pet friendly Log Cabin in the Woods.

Breath-taking views of mountains, ponds and wildlife are in store from your hillside log cabin. Four hundred secluded acres of pristine, wide open meadows and ponds are surrounded by magnificent views of Vermont mountains. Great private location for walking, hiking, biking.

See our own web site under Links & Videos for more photos and information.

THE LOG CABIN
sleeps 1-4 people. It has two bedrooms (one with a queen bed, the other with two single beds) and one full bath with two sinks; a pleasantly furnished living room with a big stone fireplace, cable TV and DVD/Video player, Wi-Fi; a dining area; a fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher; a laundry room with washer and dryer; and a gas grill. It overlooks a fenced cattle grazing field and 400 acres of farmland and woodlands.

Golf is a 10-minute drive to the Lake St. Catherine Country Club or at the famed Saratoga National Golf Course, named one of the Top 100 Golf Courses by Golf Digest.

Hidden Valley Farm is central to all major ski areas. Bromley (see link at Links & Videos) is the closest, a 30 minute drive. Pico, Killington, Stratton, Okemo are all about an hour drive.

The lovely Lake St.Catherine State Park is a five-minute drive -- convenient for fishing, boating and jet skiing, There is also a private mountain on the property for hiking and viewing. Enjoy all these activities and more in a beautiful private setting.

This property is perfect for cooling off in summer, viewing breath-taking foliage in fall, or enjoying the Vermont ski slopes in winter. Our sweeping 400 acres offer you expansive room for outdoor activities.

Activities on the Farm
Great private location for walking, hiking, biking and watching for wildlife. Meander through wild flowers. Walk the farm’s meadows. Explore the pine and maple woodlands. Hike our mountain. Barbeque and enjoy the fire pit under the moonlight.

Get re-acquainted with serenity as you breathe Vermont’s legendary fresh air deeply into your lungs to clear your mind and energize your spirit.

Watch for wildlife. Wild rabbits and families of wild turkeys are likely to march by during the day. Deer come at sunrise and sunset. Listen to owls at night. Foxes are occasional visitors. Like all farms, field mice are present in the fields, but controlled in the house.

In winter, enjoy sledding in the snow on the farm.

It is our mission to send our guests back home refreshed, renewed and revitalized. Vermont will do that for you. If it’s peace of mind you’re hoping to rediscover, it’s waiting for you at Hidden Valley Farm.

Activities off the Farm
The heart of our small town—the Wells Country Store—offers essential groceries; a variety of homemade baked goodies made fresh every morning; soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch and Juli’s excellent wine collection.

The lovely Lake St. Catherine in the Lake St. Catherine State Park is a 5-10 drive, just past the town’s miniature golf course. The park is convenient for picnicking (picnic tables provided), fishing, boating and jet skiing.

Another great stay in Wells!

Our fourth stay on the property! We appreciated the updates including a new kitchen stove and flooring in the kitchen. House is very cozy and comfortable. We ended up not having a fire because it was pretty warm but there was plenty of firewood delivered during our stay. We can't wait to come back!

Nicely appointed, peaceful, log cabin

We loved that we were 10 minutes from Lake St. Catherine. We enjoyed being atop a hill overlooking farm country. We got a kick out of watching the cows wander out of the treeline early in the a.m. This was a nice experience.We' d definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Amazing Weekend With Friends

We had a great stay in the log cabin. Beautiful and tranquil location. Super easy check in. The cabin was comfortable for 6 adults. Merry Lee our host was great to work with and was very responsive, though we had total privacy during our stay. We cooked out on the grill in the yard and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Wifi and tv worked great, which was great because there was limited cell reception (Bonus!). We would love to stay here again

The property is beautiful and a good value.

We brought our 3 nephews and our golden retriever, Maxie for Easter weekend. The Cabin is cozy and equipped and had plenty of space for the five of us. Maxie and the boys spent hours in the crystal clear pond... boating/kayaking and having a blast. We enjoyed all the surrounding woods on our hikes directly from the cabin and found the cows to be an added bonus! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

As usual, a typical, peaceful and beautiful environment!

Renting was easy with clear and consistent communication between me andMerry Lee. My only surprise was that there were only 5 or 6 logs for the fire and if more was needed, they were to be purchased elsewhere. However, I will gladly return and ,next time, bring more logs myself. Thanks, Merry Lee! Neil

Great cabin (with one note, read below)

We enjoyed our stay at the log cabin at Hidden Valley Farm. It was clean, comfortable with a great fireplace and front porch overlooking a beautiful view. Check-in/check-out was easy. The hosts left plenty of firewood for the firepit and fireplace. Note- the farmhouse on the property is also a rental so you may see and hear other people. It may have been particular to our stay but there was a large group renting the house who played loud music outside, drove ATVs around the property and had a bonfire. This made it less than ideal as we were expecting more peace and quiet in this setting. But they did respect the 10pm quiet hours rule and it was quiet after that. Overall, we recommend the cabin.

Serenity and Relaxation

My family and I had such a wonderful mini-vacation in Vermont at the Cabin on the Farm! The views of the mountain, fresh green air, and invigorating hiking trails allowed us to have the break from the world that we so needed. The farm is quiet and breathtakingly beautiful, which allowed our family to have true quality time. Thank you so much for our stay!

Needs updating

Property was nice but needs updating… Bed was not comfortable, and should be replaced. Property setting was beautiful, but access was by dirt road and extended dirt driveway, that should be in description. Directions provided in email for internet connection were wrong, but we found updated instructions in manual on table. Internet connection is needed for devices as otherwise there was no coverage…

A perfect family weekend

We wanted a weekend getaway that would please the whole family. This property delivered! We had plenty of space to roam and even private hiking trails. We were lucky and had beautiful weather for March and spent most of our time outside playing yard games and exploring. The fireplace was very nice, especially the morning we lost power. After finding a nice diner for breakfast, the power was restored and the cabin was warm once again. The kids enjoyed the pond and seeing the cows and chickens and trying to navigate to the summit of the "mountain". My wife and I loved the peace and quiet. Cell service was iffy (which was great!) but the wifi saved me in a pinch. We hadn't even gotten down the driveway when our 4 yo and 11 yo asked if we were coming back next year. We may just have to! A thank you to Merry Lee for allowing us to stay!
