One of the oldest farms in Windham County, has a unique Vermont charm with barns built in 1780.

Its quintessential white farmhouse is nestled on three hundred acres of nature, beauty, and stunning vistas. Surrounded by the Green Mountains, its’ historical essence is felt in every corner, from the welcoming weathered stonewalls to the maple tree-lined drive, wildflower fields, gardens, an orchard, pastures, ponds, and barns. All these create the perfect backdrop for any special and unique celebration.

The property boasts a wide variety of intimate and more formal settings for the perfect romantic wedding, festive, or milestone celebrations. Just a stone’s throw from the scenic village of Newfane, Vermont, Silhouette Hill is an ideal location as it is close to many Vermont Inns and spacious short-term rentals make it the perfect spot for out-of-town visitors.

    “Laurie and Henriette will take such great care of you. They are so flexible and accommodating. You can truly use their spectacular space to make your own magical event. We make a point to go back once a year around our anniversary to visit the magical space.
    Plenty of space to have lawn games or a separate area for cocktail hour. The space is a beautiful open canvas, you can get very creative. There’s room for parking if guests drive themselves. Really you can’t ask for a better place to get married.
    You will have a magical time getting married here.”

    “Hands down, the best decision for our wedding was choosing Silhouette Hill as our venue!
    It was absolutely breathtaking! It encapsulates every bit of why we love living in the Green Mountain State, and made it possible to share Vermont’s beauty with our family and friends on our special day.
    Laurie & Henriette are so down to earth, kind, and helpful through it all. They truly make you feel like you are family. It is such an incredible gift for them to share their breathtaking views and land with any couple! We are forever grateful for their hospitality . We have so many beautiful memories (and pictures!) of our wedding day, and it’s all because we chose to have it at Silhouette Hill! It is such a special place nestled in the Green Mountains, and forever in our hearts. “
