About this property

Secluded Log Cabin Escape with Waterfalls, Scenic Views, Pond & EV Outlet

This eco-friendly Vermont log cabin offers a peaceful, modern retreat less than half a mile from Mount Snow Resort and directly alongside the Green Mountain National forest. Thoughtfully designed with sustainable materials the cabin blends rustic charm with contemporary comfort. A cold-water stream flows beside the home, creating a soothing natural backdrop that can be enjoyed from the screened porch, where guests can relax to the sound of waterfalls while taking in mountain and foliage views. A long, private driveway, complete with a small pond midway, ensures quiet seclusion, yet provides exceptionally easy access to skiing, hiking, restaurants, and year-round outdoor activities.

Inside, the open-concept layout is perfect for families and groups, featuring three bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a bathroom on every floor and each bedroom has a window that opens towards the waterfalls. The cabin is equipped with a ducted geothermal heat pump for whole-house heating and cooling, fast fiber internet with mesh WiFi, and an EV charger that provides up to 40 miles of range per hour. Guests can enjoy music throughout the home using the Airplay connected audio system, with speakers in the great room, loft, and kitchen. The fully stocked kitchen includes an induction stove for efficient cooking, and the smart, dimmable lighting system adds a warm and customizable atmosphere. Downstairs, a cozy media room with 60" TV offers access to Netflix and other streaming apps for relaxing nights in.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the cabin’s direct access to the Valley Trail at the end of the driveway, connecting to the wider Dover and Mount Snow trail networks. This trail is ideal for hiking, biking, dog walking, pickleball, and frisbee golf. Throughout summer and fall, Mount Snow provides scenic chairlift rides, events, and extensive hiking and biking trails, while winter opens up snowshoeing opportunities in the back woods. Ski back to the cabin when conditions allow.

The surrounding area includes additional trailheads, historic homes, the Hermitage Club, and popular destinations such as Somerset Lake, Grout Pond, Bromley, and Stratton, all within the vast Green Mountain National Forest. Wildlife sightings are common thanks to the conserved forest behind the property and the wetlands and river across the road, making the cabin a wonderful spot for nature watching.

Evenings at the cabin are especially peaceful. Guests can gather around the outdoor fire pit, listening to the rushing stream and the chorus of frogs under the stars. With its blend of privacy, modern amenities, sustainability, and direct access to Vermont’s best outdoor experiences, this cabin is the perfect getaway for travelers seeking comfort, nature, and tranquility. We hope you enjoy an unforgettable stay at this Vermont mountain retreat!

Cabin was great. Host was great and communicative. We showed up for prime leaf peeping season during a drought. It then proceeded to rain every day we were there. We were able to get a few short wet hikes in in the areas close to the cabin. Cabin had everything we needed for a quiet getaway. Local towns were quant and supplied us with great eats. Would stay again.

The cabin was actually bigger than we really needed for two people and two dogs, but that wasn't a problem at all. It was probably the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed at. If you want secluded, this cabin is your thing. Very close to the Valley View walking Trail and restaurants in West Dover. If it had been warmer weather, I would have opened the windows to hear the waterfall at night. My only problem was that as a 6'3" guy, I hit my head on the beam in the top floor bathroom, but I had two other bathrooms to use instead, so a non-issue.

A wonderful summer weekend getaway

It may technically be a long cabin but it is a lovely house. Clean, roomy, open, well-equipped. We are a close family and now that my children are grown we don't often have time to just hang out. This was our chance. We cooked meals and listened to playlists over the house sound system. We sat outside and listened to the wind and the waterfall. Went for hikes. As I mentioned, our kids are grown but my wife and I agreed they would've loved the place even when they were younger.

Perfect stay

The host was an excellent communicator, and an extremely thoughtful host. The cabin was immaculate and filled with subtle, considerate details. Cozy blankets, comfy furniture and pretty much anything you need- towels, extra pillows, full kitchen, a waterfall in the backyard, I mean you can’t ask for more. Truly, this cabin is a quiet, peaceful retreat. Screened porch and windows, and fabulous solitude, it was exactly what I was looking for. We had no issues at all during our stay, but based on previous communication, if I had, I know this host would be very responsive. I can’t wait to visit again. Also we lived Two Tannery Road, located VERY close to the property and a great meal and history.

Nice house by the stream

Well appointed home, in a private location in the heart of Southern Vermont. We visited there at the end of September, and even if the weather was not cooperating, we manage to have a good, relaxing time. The house was also featuring an EV charging outlet, and we took advantage of that. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Perfect vermont getaway!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this log cabin! It was exactly as described, sparkling clean, and incredibly comfortable. It is a beautiful property. We loved sitting on the porch, dipping in the waterfall, and just generally relaxing. It is a short drive to wilmington and west dover, and there is an access point to the lovely valley trail right across the street. It was the perfect place for a summer getaway. The host was also very communicative and nice. We hope to come back soon! Do not miss out on this wonderful house!

We had a short, wonderful stay at Michael’s place.Our GSD could have spent the entire weekend in the waterfalls. The house is clean, the bed comfortable, and the waterfall lulls you to sleep. Down the road is a consignment called Twice Blessed.It was amazing, and so organized! And the general store right down the road from the cabin is very well stocked.

Check in and check out was without any issues. I like to have contact with the owner and we communicated with respective needed information. Michael let us know he was available. The Cabin in the woods is what I’d like to remember this place to be. It was by far the cleanest cabin my husband and I have ever stayed at. It was the perfect place for the both of us, at this time of our lives. The cabin is secluded with trees all around. We sat on the porch and listened to the summer songs of birds, bugs and the stream in the back while reading and gazing amongst the trees. We walked the lane from the cabin to the road and back. There’s a little pond with lily pads and flowers.The owner has a must read manual about his family and the cabin. I loved how they had built and set up the place for the past meeting the future. It’s set up with room lights that turn on when you walk in. No need to figure out where to flip a switch. We come to Vermont during Leaf Peeping Season, however we’ve not been during the summer. We had perfect weather during the week we stayed. We drove to the Vermont Country Store, saw a play at the Weston Playhouse and had lunch. You must have a maple creamee. We drove to Manchester and shopped, had lunch, drove to Dorset and attended another play at their Playhouse Theatre. Then back to Manchester to eat at Ye Old Tavern. All our adventures were 45 minutes to an hour from the cabin. Thank you for hosting us with your amazing cabin. Yes! We’d stay again.

Prime location and cozy stay

We had an excellent stay here! Four adults and two infants fit comfortably, with plenty of room to spare. The property is rustic and cozy, set on a beautiful property. This house is FULLY STOCKED! Everything we thought we would need was already there, including outdoor lanterns and spices. No detail was overlooked. We took full advantage of the outdoor grill and fireplace -- we had a beautiful view of the night sky. The babies loved the creek pool. With Mount Snow right next door, there are plenty of activities, and we enjoyed local hiking trails (less than a 10-minute drive away). Michael was an excellent communicator, and we would love to stay again during the winter season.

Great home base

A good location with access to lots of different activities. We enjoyed visiting Hogback Mountain for its wonderful views and shopping in the very walkable downtown Wilmington. Mount Stratton and Bromley Mountains were easy drives and offered some fun summer activities including a gondola ride and alpine slide. We had fun hiking and swimming around Pike Falls and especially enjoyed the on-site waterfalls/spring hole for our very own Scandinavian spa experience. The house was comfortable and clean with a great porch. Napping on the hammock was relaxing snd the star viewing was incredible. This house was a great find!

Relaxing, lovely mountain retreat

My husband, our college-aged teen and her boyfriend absolutely LOVED Michael's mountain retreat. Besides being impeccably clean -- a MUST! for me -- there was plenty of space for us to spread out and do what we wanted to do, be that play in the waterfall, nap, read, sit on the porch and watch birds, etc. Michael communicated everything we needed to know proactively and obviously has put a lot of heart and soul into this beautiful home. Thank you, Michael, for sharing!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Kirkland

Host profile image
I live in southern Vermont and am located nearby so as to be able to assist with any issues that may arise.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is walking distance to Mount Snow, either through the woods or along the Handle Road, but far enough away to be separate from the noise and activity of the resort and road. Carinthia lodge, Two Tannery restaurant, Snow Mountain supermarket, Dover Bar and Grill, the Snow Barn, and ski lifts are all less than 3/4 mile from the house. It is close to hiking and biking trails, historic homes, and the Hermitage Club.

The Green Mountain National Forest is accessible from the back forest or from a public trail located a short distance south on Handle road. Across the street, the North Branch of the Deerfield River runs through the Tannery Wildlife Refuge, a conserved forested area.

What makes this property unique

Surrounded by forest and streams, this southern Vermont mountain retreat is great for exploring nature during all seasons.

In the springtime, the sounds of the rushing waterfalls creates an exciting soundscape. Walk down the driveway and the sounds shift from waterfalls to frogs peeping at the pond. Here amphibians cheep in chorus as they gather to lay eggs. During the summer, wild flowers grow tall in the field. After a hike or bike ride, brief dips into the shallow cold water stream pool are exhilarating and can be therapeutic. In Autumn, the views of the foliage from the front porch are spectacular. Explore the back forest on snowshoes or ski back to the cabin if there is enough snow in the woods in winter.

The cabin is all-electric and zero emission with the exception of the gas dryer. Grid power supplying electricity to the home is sourced primarily by renewable energy. The home was constructed out of sustainable materials - logs. As well, fixtures, furniture, and other building materials were repurposed and reused throughout the build.

I hope you have a great experience at this eco-friendly and energy efficient log cabin!
