Special Cabin at Silver Lake

This is a special spot: well appointed and equipped, private and quiet while close enough to easily tour larger towns such as Woodstock. Doreen greeted me, provided a very helpful overview and suggestions; her hospitality was exceptional.

Gorgeous cabin, gracious host!

We loved our stay in Barnard. Doreen was so kind and helpful in getting us set up when we arrived, then gave us our space. We loved the beautiful cabin, the surrounding wildlife, and the town, and we took advantage of the quaint (and well-stocked) general store and its fabulous bulletin board. We can’t wait to stay again!

Fantastic stay!

Wonderful cabin with all the amenities. Super comfy and cozy with fire pit outside, fire burning chimney, tv, bathroom and kitchen. Centrally located in the state for all sorts of adventures. We would definitely recommend this cabin as it gives you the opportunity to experience small town Vermont.

Peaceful setting

Comfortable, charming cottage that had everything needed for a relaxing mini vacation. We enjoyed the fire pit outside in the early evening, only to enjoy the beautiful fireplace inside later. The location was in great proximity to many things to do and visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Peaceful getaway

I stayed here for a couple of days after a business trip up in Burlington. I used it as a base for hiking, biking, and kayaking in nearby Silver Lake. The small space is very efficiently and comfortably arranged. Doreen was a great host and gave me good recommendations for places to go, and even loaned her kayak to me! I also enjoyed the outside sitting area at night, the stars were incredible.

Perfect trip

We had a fantastic trip last weekend to Vermont. Doreen greeted us as soon as we arrived and showed us around the cabin. It looks exactly as it does in the photos. It was a clear night and we sat out and watched the stars and I finally got to see the Milky Way. The cabin location is fantastic. Close to everything but feels like you are tucked away in the woods. Easy driving to Norwich to go to King Arthur, hiking at Queechee State park and visiting Woodstock. It was our first trip to Vermont but certainly not our last.

Relaxing

Wonderful atmosphere. Quiet, Comfortable, Cozy. The stone fireplace surrounded by knotty pine boards. Beautiful clear sky at night with the Milky Way arching overhead. The leaves of the apple trees falling in the light breeze. A very peaceful setting.

Perfect cabin for a relaxing weekend

I can't speak highly enough of Doreen. She warmly greeted us the second we arrived and gave us a tour. She's so friendly and she had stocked the cabin with everything we could have needed. She even added flowers and a happy anniversary sign since we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and she printed out a map for a hike she suggested. I loved how the cabin is decorated and it was the perfect spot to explore Vermont. I would highly recommend staying here.

Perfectly comfortable cabin vacation

We stayed at this rental for 2 nights to get away from from the big city and enjoy some peace and relaxation. This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. The place was exceptionally cleaned, and came with many luxuries not common to a cabin such as shower, TV, and kitchen. The rental is a short drive from the town of Woodstock which has anything a person might need, and nearby to outdoor activities. Doreen was a great host, she is a friendly person who made us feel right at home. Would return again if in the area, 5 STARS

A perfectly done respite for the soul!

Everything was perfect for my stay, even the weather! Doreen takes obvious pride in this lovely gem of a space. Nothing is left undone. Simply done, yet attention to every detail. It is a tranquil, serene cabin surrounded by trees and nature’s beauty. I will absolutely be back, not just to Vermont, but to this perfect piece of it!!

Wedding weekend

I booked this property for myself for the day’s leading up to my wedding and for my husband and I the night after until our honeymoon. Doreen is a wonderful hostess and pays great attention to detail. She was extremely kind, warm and welcoming. If we have the opportunity to come back to the area- we will definitely want to stay there. The cottage is cozy and perfect for a couple. The fireplace in October is amazing! Very highly recommend this property and hostess!

About the host

Hosted by Doreen

Host profile image
Hospitality is in my DNA. Having had a career with Ritz-Carlton Hotels and then Twin Farms resort here in Barnard, guest service is a part of me. I look forward to greeting my guests, anticipating their needs and providing a great experience.

Why they chose this property

This cozy cabin was created as a refuge for a writer and journalist in the 1920s. Enjoy the sound of the two brooks that converge within your sight, or snuggle up with a good book (or your partner!) in front of the huge stone fireplace inside or the Solo fire pit on your private terrace. We have plenty of apple wood to burn from our orchard!

What makes this property unique

Walk to the public beach in the village or to Silver Lake State Park, both just up the hill.
