The Birches main house as well as Wayside Pond were built in 1907 by the noted Vermont artist Arthur Wilder, and the property stayed in that family's ownership for many years. Now a family compound with 26 acres overlooking Wayside Pond (spring fed and some 2 acres in size), The Birches consists of a main "lodge" residence, a guest quarters which can sleep 6, The Ice House (which started as storage for ice taken from Wayside Pond to be used at The Woodstock Inn) and now is a wonderful studio building set off from the other structures, a barn with stalls and plenty of storage, and the boathouse on Wayside Pond. The Birches offers generous living quarters as well as boundless opportunities for swimming, fishing, hockey games and ice skating, all within an easy driving to Woodstock Village.
