Gem in the woods

We were very excited to find this property! Our family is from Westminster and we’ve outgrown guest rooms and couches. Renting two hotel rooms in Bratt or Springfield or Keene has been a drag. This was great! Everyone got their own bed, plenty of bathrooms and showers, quiet setting. Beautiful views, and just a few minutes to both grandparents! The teens had fun trying to figure out who Ted Williams was and looking up the family’s histories. House is full of memorabilia for Ted and his wife. A bear game by one of the mornings to poke through the trash, we didn’t see him, but were then glued to the windows hoping to see him come back. Definitely coming back here every visit to VT!

A Must for Red Sox Fans

We stayed here during a recent trip to the area for golfing. While not baseball enthusiasts, we very much enjoyed the Ted Williams and Red Sox theme. So much history and memorabilia, it was also educational! You could feel the passion his family had when renovating and decorating the place. The view was fantastic and the location was easy to access and find. The house was very clean and accommodating. It had all the utensils we needed, including a coffee bar. We hope to stay again next year!

Wonderful Stay

The visit was fantastic. The owner/manager of the property was very communicative and quick to respond with any questions. The place was a wonderful house to visit with friends. Plenty of space to gather in the kitchen/living room area. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you for a great time!

A Home Run for our family

Ted Williams' onetime home turned out to be the perfect place for our little family reunion, with a variety of seating and sleeping arrangements indoors and expansive grounds outside. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen roomy and well stocked. Not everybody in our party cared about all the Wiliams-related artwork and memorabilia, but I was thrilled to be amongst it all -- and some of it is quite impressive. The location is secluded -- but so is practically everything in this part of Vermont, so the need to travel some distance for groceries, restaurants, etc. is a given. It's such a lovely area, you won't mind the drives. Anytime I'm bringing a large group of people to southeastern Vermont, I'll hope to book this house again.

Wonderful home and property

There was plenty of space inside and outside for kids to adventure while the adults could gather in the kitchen/living room area. Large dining room with the fireplace also gave the adults an area at night while kids slept to socialize. The bathtub and sauna were added bonuses, b the property grounds themselves were amazing to explore!

Absolutely amazing

This house is down right amazing. Ignoring the fact that this was owned and is adorned with memorabilia from the greatest red sock of all time, the house is gorgeous. With wide pine floors, hand hewn post and beam construction, beautiful landscaping, and views to die for this property is amazing. We had 10 people and were very comfortable. Adrienne and Claudia were the best hosts you could ask for. We will try to come back as much as possible. Highly recommend!!

Family Reunion

We rented both properties at the Splendid Splinter to celebrate a 50th anniversary as well as family reunion. The home is amazing with wonderful history as well as beautiful construction and finishes. It is peaceful and quiet with great views from the decks. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking to get away from the crowds but to have some rustic elegance while away.

Even in the chilly early spring it was exquisite—and the story around Ted Williams family was fun

It was delightful— even when we had a small heater issue, it was fixed immediately. The only concern was some of the pictures on the Miss Vermont room we’re not appropriate for a little boys. It was only soft porn—but any is offensive. We HOPE to go back

We initially found house due to location, chose it for its amenities (and the fun twist for baseball nut members of family), and fully enjoyed our stay.

The one where I turn 50

My husband, friends and I had the most amazing time at The Splendid Splinter to celebrate my 50th birthday. The house was spacious, beautifully decorated and the perfect getaway for a fun weekend with friends. If you’re a baseball fan, this is a ‘home run’ of a house, and even if you’re not, you’ll still be in love with it! Claudia, the owner, met us outside and was just as excited as us that we were there...she even helped bring in our carload of stuff!! We had an amazing time just relaxing on the deck taking in the beautiful view and huge fires at night around the gigantic fire pit. We loved the house and every minute of our weekend!! Thank you Claudia!!

Great Weekend!

My husband and I spent the weekend at this beautiful property. It was quiet, peaceful, and the accommodations were perfect! Everything is very high-end and well thought out and we were lacking for nothing. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, and the views were just spectacular from every room! The owner went above and beyond in every aspect, and we will absolutely be back as soon as we can.
