Beauty of Nature
This is my third stay here. It's a wonderful cabin and property for nature lovers! The lovely deck is a perfect place to take in the surroundings. A pond, a waterfall, a fire pit and a cozy cabin, totally private, what more could you ask for? If you have physical limitations, just be aware that you have to walk up a small hill and some stairs from the parking area and the spiral staircase inside may be difficult to navigate for some.

Beautiful and relaxing
The property is beautiful and very quiet. There are a few steps to go up to the cabin from the parking, it's a little steep but nothing too intense (probably more challenging with snow?). There is a little pond with a turtle and small fish where the waterfall drops. The cabin itself is beautiful and modern on the inside, a cozy living room, a tv room (Roku with some cable), a large patio in the front, the stairs are a little small but solid, the rooms are not huge and there is the slopped ceiling but we didn't mind. Note that the loft if not accessible to guests (I think it is because the railing is pretty low). Total there is a double bed in one bedroom, 2 single beds in the other and a pullout couch in tv room. The kitchen is well stocked compared the other rentals(a few spices, oil, coffee, vinegars, sugar), lots of dishes, pots, pans, utensils, a Keurig machine,french press, teapot. The washing machine was out of order when we visited, but that wasn't something we needed. Shower is big and the heated tiles were wonderful. Everything was super clean. There is a slight smell/taste (nothing major) to the water, so bring some if you are bothered by that. The "swimming hole" or large pond was so nice, we spent a lot of time in the water and by the water. There is a canoe, an adult kayak, a kid kayak and a paddle board. We tried all of them and really enjoyed it. The grass has taken over the sandy part of the beach, but it was still pleasant. We would come back anytime!

Even though it rained our entire stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness. The view from the deck overlooking the falls and creek to the pond and the rest of the property was amazing. Everything inside was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view, peaceful, great location.
We were looking for a rental in Barnard and this was a perfect location. The home is situated on a hill overlooking a pond. The loft for sleeping doesn’t have much headroom, but I enjoyed waking up and feeling like I was a treehouse. Loved the hammock, spacious kitchen, and radiant flooring in the bathroom. We hope to return again!

Cozy Cabin Stay
We had a great stay at this cozy cabin. Situated overlooking a scenic private pond, the charming cabin is in a perfect location to explore the beautiful Vermont area. It’s in close proximity to the picturesque Woodstock and Silver Lake in Barnard. Possibly due to the water tanks at the property, the water had a not so great smell so would recommend buying your own water for drinking.

Outdoor Paradise
Gorgeous property, we enjoyed our time there immensely! Early morning peaceful swims on private pond, soothing sound of the brook/waterfall(even though water level was low due to drought), nice deck overlooking pond, large fire pit, owls hooting, sweet, comfortable cabin stocked with basics, including a Weber charcoal grill. If you love the outdoors and wish to enjoy it to the fullest, this place is ideal. Lots of privacy. One minor annoyance was the shower door which does not close properly. Yes, as mentioned by others, bedrooms are on the small side with sloping ceilings, but they are fine, that didn't bother me. You also have to be willing to do a certain amount of climbing every time you leave/return to cabin. Small price to pay for staying at this wonderful place!

Beautiful cabin near Woodstock VT
We had a wonderful stay at Eli's cabin. The cabin itself is architecturally beautiful and tastefully furnished. It was perfect size for our family of four, although, if i am not mistaken it may accommodate more. The property is very secluded. there are 3 houses around the little lake/pond, but you will have complete privacy. A few important things to note: -We checked in at night time, and we went to the wrong house - check the map carefully because the GPS devices will recognize a different house on the property - turn right before the pond! -the days we stayed were very very cold. The cabin has one gas fireplace heating the place but to really warm up the cabin on a very cold day you may have to use the cast iron wood burning stove which does the magic! -we came here for skiing at Killington. GPS will tell you 40-45 mins to the ski area at Killington. Our advice is leave early in the morning and go to Skyship Gondola which is an easy access to the slopes from the main road with big convenient parking lots. You will save 10 minutes in driving time and avoid crowding at other Ski access areas such as K1, Ramshead etc. -Part of the village road that brings you to Eli's property is a dirt road. No issues in snow. However, on the day we were leaving we had the solid rain the night before and the outside temperature quickly rose to 50s. With the beautiful sunny day that followed the snow melted quickly and that part of the road turned into proper mud. If you have 4WD / SUV you will be fine - otherwise you will have to be very careful. -in this area you may not have / lose frequently cellphone reception (we have at&t) - this may as well be a plus. Eli's cabin has a great Wi-Fi. We, however, wouldn't change a thing! The place was great, the time spent there even better! Eli was very helpful and responsive. Happy to have had him as a host. We will be back!

Magical
Stepping onto this property and the surrounding Woodstock area is like entering a Christmas card. The rooms are charmingly decorated. The cabin is heated by a one setting gas fireplace and a log fireplace. The kitchen has almost everything one would need- I recommend bringing your own steel mesh colander and a small-medium pot. Windows on all sides of the cabin allow one's perspective to expand to the surrounding woods and field. It is good to practice Zen while navigating the stairs and upstairs ceilings, but by the end of several days, I encountered each with ease. It is also good to bring several layers of clothes for the cabin, from one shirt to a few fleece jackets, since the heat is somewhat dependent on the outside temperature. If you use the wood fireplace, the cabin heats up well. The supplied wood is properly aged. Be sure to check out the Marsh Billings National Park in Woodstock. You can park at Billings Farm. My husband and I walked on the hard snow with Yaktraks to South Peak, about an hour's walk. The vista of surrounding hills and the town of Woodstock was priceless. At noon, a few churches ring their bells, making the whole scene magical.

Great House
Owner was very easy to communicate and gave insight to the cabin and property prior to me reserving that might be limiting with people in our party. Spot on!!! Communication continued through check-in to make sure we had no problems at arrival. The cabin and property were wonderful and cozy. Main bedroom very comfortable mattress. We did no use the other bedroom. The wood stove and heating does make the upstairs HOT we set up a small fan in the doorway of the second bedroom facing the loft to circulate the air nicely. The property could be a little tough for more senior adults.. Stairway up to the cabin from driveway had me checking my footing a lot in the snow and ice and staircase up to the bedrooms is very tight and could be difficult for some. The appliances are new and perfect. The Wi-Fi in the cabin worked very well for us…but outside of the cabin and the ride up/down to Woodstock you will probably have limited to no cell service (10-15min drive). We had snow while visiting and the roadways near and around the cabin and driveway were well plowed and sanded. I would def recommend this cabin to others.

Beautiful location, peaceful and serene, one with nature
Location ideal for a true Fall get-away. Views from inside of cabin and on the deck are so peaceful and private. Easily lulled by the sound of the waterfall feet from the deck. First floor of cabin is comfortable and well appointed. In many respects this may just be the best place we have ever stayed when traveling throughout New England. The only drawbacks for my wife and I were the circular stairs and the upstairs bedrooms. The circular stairs are more difficult to negotiate with luggage that I expected. And a pain for trips to the bathroom at night. There are only a few spots where I could actually stand erect (I am 6 feet tall). I wish I had a nickel for every time I hit my head. If my back had been acting up, I'd have had a real problem. The ceiling in the bedroom with the double bed is so low on the window side, that my wife and I could not sleep together. She slept in the other bedroom. I could not really ascertain the extent of the low ceiling from the pictures. This cabin is not good for a tall person or a person with a bad back. Other than the bedrooms, we absolutely loved the cabin. I would recommend to the owner, to replace the loveseat by the woodturner stove with a queen sleeper sofa for just couples who lease the cabin. Then they would not need to use the upstairs.

The cabin was absolutely delightful! My family stayed here in August 2021. It was clean and well stocked. The owner even left some staples (milk, butter, coffee, maple syrup and Mac & cheese (for the kiddos)) in the kitchen. We loved kayaking, fishing, swimming and paddle boarding during the day in the pond. We had yummy roasted marshmallows and s’mores around the fire pit and did awesome stargazing at night from the deck. The waterfall was amazingly soothing all day and night. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

If you want a secluded spot, this is perfect. As stated the stairs to the bedrooms are steep as are the outside steps to cabin. The bathroom is located downstairs so a visit to the bathroom at night requires you to be alert. If you are nimble enough then you will love this cabin that is beautifully appointed.
