ABOUT

The SunCottage is a unique property located in the village of South Woodstock, Vermont. A one bedroom, one bath home perfect for a couple looking for a quiet escape amid streams, fields and woods. The Scandinavian design is simple and natural. It's a geothermal home with all its electricity and heat generated from the sun and earth. There are three floors: an upstairs TV room; a main floor with kitchen, living, bed and bathroom; and a downstairs exercise room with hot tub and sauna.

The home is newly built, completed in December 2019. It is immaculate and fully furnished with brand-new appliances and furniture throughout.

Outside there are hiking paths, a stone patio, bridges over streams and waterfalls. A large firepit on the hilltop is unlike anything you have ever seen. A sun-tracking solar array allows the SunCottage to produce more electricity than it consumes, and in certain seasons we store the excess energy in two Tesla batteries or sell it back to the grid! Triple-glazed windows, 12 inch thick walls, and a Trombe bottlewall in the basement are just a few of the elements that make the SunCottage one of the most sustainable homes in the Green Mountains.

It’s a 200 yard walk to the Kedron Valley Inn’s Pond where you can go for an easy swim or relax by the water. And if you’d like some breakfast or lunch or just need some coffee and milk there is the excellent South Woodstock Country Store a bit beyond the Pond.  The SunCottage is located on a dirt road off-the-beaten path but close enough to be a part of things. A perfect base for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and just a ten minute drive from the historic village of Woodstock with its ski slopes, golf course, shops and incomparable restaurants.

The house feature that guests love most is the spring-fed 4 person Jacuzzi hot tub. We guarantee you'll indulge, be it summer or winter! Dry off in the Finnish sauna or make it steamy while ladling cool water over hot rocks. The adjacent exercise room includes a NordicTrack elliptical and a rowing machine for those looking for a workout. We’re excited to share our self-designed passive solar cottage with you. Enjoy a stay in a natural setting, in a sustainable home where your peaceful enjoyment & contentment are our top priorities.
