About this property

Waterfalls-View-Pond. Secluded Log Cabin Abuts Mt Snow. EV Outlet

This secluded log cabin located in the heart of southern Vermont conveniently abuts Mount Snow and the Green Mountain National Forest. Next to the cabin, a cold water mountain stream rushes down exposed bedrock into a shallow pool. Brief immersions into the water are rejuvenating. Relax to the calming sounds of the stream from within the comfort of the screened porch while taking in views of foliage, mountains, and waterfalls from the wrap around deck. A 600' long driveway, with a frog pond located midway up, ensures a quiet and private stay surrounded by nature.

The cabin is energy efficient, modern, and comfortable yet rustic and simple in design. Whole house heating and cooling is supplied by a geothermal heat pump. A fiber line and mesh router provides fast and reliable internet throughout all areas of the home. The cabin is also equipped with a fast charging electric vehicle outlet that provides up to 40 miles of charge per hour.

Listen to music from the house audio system with in-wall speakers that connect to a phone, tablet, or computer device via wifi. Speakers are located in the great room, loft, and kitchen. Cook food quickly and efficiently on the induction stove while enjoying your favorite tunes. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, and dishes.

Smart and dimmable lighting is used throughout the cabin. The 60" TV located in the basement room uses an Apple TV to provide access to Netflix and other streaming services - no cable.

The Carinthia base area at Mount Snow is accessible either by the widened shoulder along the road, or by a walking trail behind the home. Carinthia is the terrain park portion of Mount Snow with lots of rails, pipes, and jumps. Snowshoe through the back woods or ski-in to the cabin if there is enough snow in the woods. Experts only!

The forest behind the home has been conserved. Animal travel from the upland forest to the preserved wetlands and river located across the street can make for interesting wildlife viewing. Beyond the conserved woods surrounding the home is the Green Mountain National Forest where there are fishing, paddling, hunting, back-country skiing, camping, swimming, and hiking opportunities. Somerset Lake, Grout Pond, Mount Snow, Haystack, Bromley, and Stratton are all located within the GMNF.

The Valley Trail is located at the end of the cabin driveway on Handle road. This trail leads to Mount Snow and to the trail network located in the town of Dover. The Valley Trail is great for hiking, mountain biking, walking your dog, and coming soon - frisbee golf.

Historic homes, trail heads, and the Mount Snow and Hermitage Club ski resorts are located nearby on Handle Road. The Mount Snow ski resort is located 1/2 mile to the north of the cabin and the Hermitage Club is located is 2 miles to the south. Restaurants, ski lifts, lodges, bars, and shops are all easily accessible on foot or by car. The town of Dover is nearby and the town of Wilmington is a 10 minute drive from the house.

The cabin has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a loft. There is a bathroom on each floor. Two of the bedrooms each have one queen sized bed, and the third bedroom has a single bed and a bunk-bed. Every bedroom has heating and cooling, as well as a window that opens towards the waterfalls, so that you can enjoy the sounds as you sleep.

The cabin was sustainably constructed out of wood logs. It is all-electric with the exception of the clothes dryer. Grid power supplied to the home is sourced primarily by renewable energy. Drive your EV and enjoy an emission free vacation!

This cabin is ideal for travelers that want a private, modern, and peaceful place to comfortably experience nature while knowing that their stay has minimal environmental impact. I hope you have a wonderful visit to this Vermont cabin getaway. Enjoy quiet nights by the outdoor fire pit accompanied by the gentle rush of the nearby stream, while tree frogs and crickets peep throughout the night.

A Perfect Vermont Escape - Magical First Experience!

As Florida natives experiencing Vermont for the first time, this cabin exceeded all our expectations during our Thanksgiving week stay. The moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. The cabin strikes a perfect balance - while you feel completely immersed in nature, you're still conveniently close to town for any necessities. The interior is thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere that enhanced our Vermont experience. We took full advantage of the surrounding nature, going on hiking adventures and trying snow shoeing for the first time - activities that were easily accessible from our doorstep. The location is simply ideal. Whether you're looking to explore the wilderness or want to experience local Vermont charm in nearby towns, everything is within reach. As first-time visitors to Vermont, we couldn't have chosen a better home base for our adventures. What truly sets this cabin apart is how it creates an environment where you can fully disconnect and embrace the natural beauty of Vermont while still enjoying all the comforts of home. Even after returning to Florida, we can't stop thinking about our stay and are already dreaming of when we can return. For anyone considering a Vermont getaway, I cannot recommend this cabin highly enough. It provided the perfect setting for our family to create unforgettable memories and experience the magic of Vermont for the first time.

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.

Clean and cozy; GREAT porch! Responsive and helpful owner.

Overall definitely well appointed and comfortable house, with excellent kitchen, rooms, wifi nicely set back off main road with wonderful privacy and nearby trails. I loved sitting on the porch playing my guitar! Certainly a lovely, well made and supplied house for rental I would have no reservations recommending. That stipulated, being ~ 6'4" the upstairs bedrooms went to our somewhat shorter friends; it would have been terribly uncomfortable for me. There is no automatic dishwasher. There is a basement that could be used for sleeping another couple but note that was also the "TV room." Bottom line highly recommend, but perhaps best for two adult couples although certainly small children could easily be added to that number as there were bunk-beds upstairs.

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!

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.

A lovely, peaceful getaway

My family and I really enjoyed this quiet and private home in West Dover, VT. The house was extremely clean, which gave us peace of mind. The waterfalls were beautiful and provided a tranquil soundtrack for our stay. Though we did get a lot of rain during our week here, it gave us an excuse to just relax and do nothing. And this house made that pretty easy. It took us awhile to get use to how easily sound travels in the house, but other than that, it was a fairly flawless week. The only other thing that bummed us out was we hardly saw any wildlife, just a few birds here and there. The store around the corner (one minute by car) was quite convenient. We took a quick trip to see the Robert Frost Stone House Museum in Bennington, which made for an easy, enjoyable trip to get out and about. We really appreciated how spacious the house was - there were three of us and we each had our own floor and bathrooms! We were definitely rejuvenated after our stay, and Michael was great to work with.

All You Need

Wow on everything! Even the driveway is fun! Location is great. Fine dining, well stocked beer/wine market/deli, family food/arcade/bar, and a bunch of other stuff all within a mile or two. The big reservoir is 10-15 minutes away, parking was easy, wish I brought my 6 man raft, very accessible landing there. Jet skis & boats rentable. Creek near the house is gorgeous little waterfall after another. My 3 boys (9-13) and I hiked alongside it up to Mt. snow ski resort. Bugs not an issue in August. Good time! My wife liked dunking herself in the creek. Very friendly Vermonters everywhere. The house is amazing. Off the grid and on the ball. Kitchen is stocked, induction oven rocks, 3 floor audio system, nice laundry, claw foot tub, 3 baths/bedrooms. Screen porch has the view, grill fires up…I could go on. Will likely come back!

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!

Quiet mountain getaway

This is a great property! The mountains of VT are a relaxing place to unwind and nothing about this property disappointed. The waterfall was fantastic and the cold water in the pool proved refreshing - a crystal clear, clean spot to play in. The dog absolutely loved it too! The pond down the driveway was teeming with life, and was so interesting to explore. If you're going in late spring (May-June) be prepared to deal with the relentless biting black flies during the day. Some of our outdoor times were shorter than we would have liked due to the timing of our visit and the flies, but the fully screened in porch was the place to get away from them while still being outdoors. Thankfully, these flies seemed to take a break midday, are not active at night, and didn't interrupt our campfire plans. You will need to buy/bring your own wood and kindling if you intend to have a fire.

The perfect Vermont getaway

This was the perfect spot for all three of our family households to come together for our annual vacation. Talk about a quiet setting to disconnect, surrounded by trees and water! (Could not have imagined a better place to come to see some spectacular autumn colors in the leaves!) The location is great for quiet reflection, reading, and connecting as a family, but has the convenience of wifi and the AppleTV to allow some relaxing with a good movie or tv binge after a day outside. Great local restaurants and places of interest not too far away, and a nice kitchen for those evenings that we wanted to do a little cooking as a family. I would absolutely come back this spot again in the future. Not only was the place just as described but the communication with the owner was easy, quick, and very friendly. If you are looking for a nice retreat with the option of quiet solitude or being out and about, this is a fantastic place to have in mind.

BEAUTIFUL & PEACEFUL VACATION RENTAL

If you are looking for clean, peaceful vacation rental then this is the place. My family had the most relaxing AND exciting adventure while we were staying in this beautiful log cabin. There were days when we could not decide whether we were hiking, biking or just wanting to stay on the property fighting over the hammock on the porch or in the stream next to the home. The home was immaculate the minute we walked in! The grounds were peaceful and you really never had to leave. You can hike and bike right from the property. And believe me when I say there are trails everywhere from this home. Oh, and did I also mention NATURE galore, but remember you are now in animal kingdom, so please respect all wildlife while there. You will really enjoy seeing a lot! Our host was absolutely the nicest and easiest person to talk to and reach whenever there was a question. The information he has left for his quests is very informative (and funny), so please make sure you read everything! He put a lot of work in to letting you know about everything...and I mean everything! Since we have checked out, our adult children, my husband and I have not stopped talking about this gem and wonderful owner we have discovered in West Dover!!! WE WILL BE BACK AGAIN!! Thank you for such a memorable stay at your beautiful hideaway!

Nice place!

We enjoyed a relaxing week at the cabin with our adult kids and our dog. We found the property to be exactly as described. There was plenty of comfortable space inside and out to enjoy this peaceful environment. We had many nearby options for hiking and kayaking during the day. Evenings were spent grilling and chilling by the fire pit in the backyard. The waterfall was a big hit with all of us, but most enjoyed by our dog Tipper!

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!
