We enjoyed this charming home and extended our stay. We particularly enjoyed the peaceful riverside setting, nearby charming town, gourmet restaurants and stunning landscape. We’d love to return and explore Vermont from this cozy, character-filled home.

What a GORGEOUS house! This was a last minute trip, we ached for some solitude and nature. The river sounded and looked beautiful, the birds were chirping, there was two cows across the street that I spent most of the day watching, cute barn cats roaming around. Download the Merlin app to help identify all the birds singing outside! Having a functional fireplace was incredible! We walked a scenic walk to the Norman Rockwell Inn & covered bridge on a lovely sunny day. The real highlight for us was hearing the American Woodcock in the field just over the bridge at 8pm. We’re birders & we were trying to find one back in RI, so to see the mating dance just across the street was a dream. We brought our kayaks & tried the put-ins in town. Beautiful paddle. The shower was a little quirky but we figured it out. The bedrooms were gorgeous, the kitchen had everything although we bring our own pots/pans. We checked out the Hildene Estate for a little history lesson. Amazing, sweet little spot!
