Huntington, Vermont
Experience contemporary living in a beautiful Vermont country setting. Fielder Farm offers a unique and stunning Vermont vacation rental home in the heart of the Green Mountains.
Relax in our post-and-beam, monitor barn home. Everything you need to make our home your home is provided. Let the gracious living area and professionally equipped kitchen inspire the host in you as you invite family and friends to enjoy a sunset from the second-floor windows or take a long soak in the hot tub after a day of your favorite winter activity.
On 230 acres, the Farm has its own backcountry trails, a sledding hill and with a little shoveling, the pond becomes your own personal ice rink. Access to the Catamount Trail is right out your door. Snowshoe to the top of Little Baldie then ride your board or skis home.
The highlight of the lower farm is the Pond. Surrounded by acres of maintained lawn, the Pond is the heart and spirit of the Fielder Farm. It provides an unlimited source of entertainment throughout the year and attracts even the most reticent of visitors. The water is deep, clear and irresistible. Stone steps and rocky outcrops make entering and exiting the water easy and pleasant in the heat of summer and getting on and off the ice hassle-free with your skates in the winter.
Guests enter the Barn on the ground floor through the Mud Room featuring a native slate floor, dozens of cubbies in a variety of sizes and ample wall space covered with hooks. No matter the season every guest will find more than enough space to stow personal gear.
As you climb the stairs to the second floor Living space your attention is immediately drawn up the custom post and beam frame to the arching bridge and Monitor ceiling 25 feet above. A half a dozen windows along the eastern wall offer a brilliant view of the pond, lower pasture, and mountains beyond and fill the space with light throughout the day all year long. This light is the perfect complement to the natural finish on the heart pine floors. The thoughtful arrangement and open design of the second-floor living space allows a number of activities to carry on harmoniously.
Paying close attention to the details can make a big difference when it comes to using a kitchen day-to-day. The owners of the Barn are keen chefs who spent months cooking in this kitchen. The Kitchen combines elegance and functionality, blending Vermont granite and butcher block countertops, heart pine floors with stainless steel appliances and wood cabinets. The social space encourages casual interaction and provides a bird’s eye view of the meadow and stream below.
The Kitchen is open to the Dining area and the view beyond. The extendable table allows seating for 10 with room for two more at the kitchen island.
Glass doors behind the dining table open onto the spacious deck making the gas grill convenient to the kitchen all year long. It is also the perfect platform for the 6 person hot tub.
Two bedrooms with similar appointments off the second-floor living space make sharing the Barn uncomplicated.
The Loft bedrooms are accessible by a modified ship’s ladder. Each Loft has 3 built-in twin beds, a walk-in closet and plenty of built-in drawer and floor space.

This was our 3rd visit to Fielder Farm and it was wonderful as always. Although we had hoped for some snow, we had a great time hiking, relaxing by the wood stove and enjoying the hot tub. Our group included tweens through grandparents and everyone had a great time! We will definitely book again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Excellent hosts and incredible scenery and environment, will definitely come back again.
First thing we did was jump into the pond, spectacular property and the scenery was lovely. Hosts were helpful, friendly and welcoming and we look forward to many more return mini-vacations at their property. We will miss the swallows and bull frogs singing to us, and the cows joining us for coffee or cocktails. And don’t forget to buy the homemade maple syrup by the 1/2 gallon, goes great on oatmeal and in your morning coffee.
Fielder Farm is beautiful. The architecture of the Barn is amazing.
We had a great stay at the barn! Great sledding hill, trails for hiking, snowshoeing and skiing. If the pond was frozen we would have been out their skating too, next time! The hot tub was great after an afternoon of sledding but some stayed in for the toasty wood stove and hot chocolate! Lots of books and cozy places to curl up and read. Our hosts were very helpful when we had questions. Definitely a place I would return to. Thank you for having us!
I want to start off by saying how absolutely beautiful the house and property was. The kids had a blast fishing, running around in the yard and playing with the chickens. The house is not user friendly for really young kids but we made it work. Also, I think every ladybug in the state was at and in the house lol. I would definitely go back and stay there.
Sara and Bert's Fielder Farm is stunningly beautiful, spacious, comfortable and stocked with everything needed for a perfect stay. If you are looking for sweeping open space, a robust trail network, unobstructed star gazing all while a short drive from Burlington, Stowe, Montpelier and Middlebury this is the place for you!
We had a great stay. The barn is gorgeous, the pond is lovely for swimming and there are multiple hiking options right out the door. We didn’t use our car once after we arrived. Sarah and Bert were great hosts and their dog made sure we didn’t get lost when we were out hiking!
Immaculately kept, very fun property was just what we needed. The pond is a little too cool, but it is northern Vermont. Hot tub made it great. Fun place to cook and read a book. Not very close to Burlington but it's a very pleasant ride to town. Terrific place all around.
This was an idyllic spot. The pond is bliss, the views, too, watching the clouds move across the mountains. Taking in the stars from the hot tub was glorious. We felt very far away from everything, in the best possible way. Our hosts, Sarah and Bert, were wonderful. The kitchen had everything one could wish for, and when we asked for the slightly out of the ordinary (we were baking a birthday cake), Sarah swiftly provided a cake pan! As well as eggs and home-grown veggies... The property, and the walking available to guests without having to get in the car and drive was incredibly special. The care Sarah and Bert bestow on the place is impeccable. The barn was a beautiful space in which to spend a few peaceful days. And we so appreciated their incredible library. A splendid collection of books! We would come back in a heartbeat. The only reason we didn't give Fielder Farm 5 stars is because we happened to book right before a big wedding, and the preparations for that event were fairly mammoth, and ate into 1.5 days of our 4-night stay. Long hours of mowing intervened, breaking the lovely quiet, and ultimately making us need to get out of the house, even though for the rest of our time we'd been perfectly content to stay put. We understand the need for maintenance, and the challenge of timing mowing around weather, etc. And we appreciated the apology we received on departing, but I would say that a warning and/or a discount would have been the way to go. Perhaps in the future, best to have a buffer day when preparing for such an event. One other thought: the view is so lovely, we would've loved to have had access to a small table on the terrace, to dine outdoors on those beautiful evenings. But overall, a very special place indeed!
Great location, lovely views. Great hosts
We had an amazing stay at Sarah & Burt’s gorgeous barn. It is just as beautiful and tranquil as the photos show. Our kids loved catching frogs and polywogs in the pond. Easy access to nice hiking trails, and a lovely place to come back to and relax. Truly a great library inside, as well! That was the unexpected bonus. Communication with both hosts was easy and helpful. We would love to return!
We had an excellent time and really enjoyed ourselves. The pond and lands are well kept and great for a family gathering - and while it's a little out of town (which is what we wanted) ... it's only 15-20 minutes to restaurants, bars, etc. so you're not really even that far out. Mornings are beautiful.
Our stay at The Barn was absolutely wonderful. The surroundings are beautiful, calming, and accessible. The accommodations were unique, comfortable, and set up to accommodate a large group. The kitchen was particularly well appointed and we really didn't need anything. Sarah and Bert were gracious hosts who left us to do our events but we knew we could contact them with any questions. We truly enjoyed seeing this part of Vermont and would recommend Fielder Farm to anyone. We hope to come back again. Thank you, Sarah and Bert!
