About this property

Goldfinch Hollow: Tucked Within 5 Private Acres

Experience the magic of Vermont! Breathe crisp air, the earthy scent of leaves, and the promise of cozy days.
**35 minutes from Mount Snow and Stratton! Relax at this modern timber frame cabin, nestled on 5 private acres in the magical woods of Southern Vermont. Surround yourself by the forest, awake to chirping birds, stargaze at night, and rejuvenate yourself in nature.

The house, modeled after a traditional Vermont sugar house, has cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors and cabinets, granite countertops, and a tiled shower.

No TV - this is a great way to promote real conversation and engage in activities such as reading, games, puzzles, knitting, and writing. True quiet, with nothing but the sound of nature, is the perfect way to disconnect.

We are happy to provide flexible check-in/out whenever possible.

Guest access
The entire cabin, covered porch, hammock, gardens, and yard are yours to enjoy.
Other things to note:
The bed in the loft is accessible by stairs.

Road is in great condition with the exception of mud season. Mud season is the name given to the period between winter’s end (March) and spring’s start (May) when unpaved roads become a muddy mess from melting snow and spring rains. This cabin is located on a dirt road and we recommend AWD or 4WD during this time period.

Hi my name is Kelsey and I live in southern Vermont with my husband David and four young children. We love to hike, bike, read, garden, and cook. We believe in living a sustainable, organic lifestyle, always looking to reduce the amount of waste we produce and mitigate our carbon footprint. We built a small timber frame with these values in mind and our children in tow every step of the way. We hope this space brings you profound joy.
