The photos do not show how lovely and comfortable this house is. I stayed here by myself, with my dog, and felt very relaxed and safe. Loved reading in the hammock after a day of hiking. There are nice hikes, restaurants and galleries nearby.

We (2 adults, 2 kids) had such a wonderful visit! We especially loved hanging out in the river, eating and playing games on the deck, and reading in the hammock. The house was comfortable and well-equipped - perfect for our family getaway. We hope to return soon!

We had a lovely stay. The accommodations are great, and the kitchen is very well equipped, probably the best weve encountered over many VRBO rentals. Bryan was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this rental.

Nice spot on Mad River

Nice, clean, cozy property with access to the Mad River (although getting down there might be hard for people with mobility issues). Great back porch for reading/relaxing outdoors. Kids loved the river and the kids' nook in the stairs. Very close to village of Warren, Lincoln Gap, Warren Falls, Flatbread, Sugarbush, etc. Would stay again.

Norwich Parent’s Weekend

This was a wonderful cabin for our family to stay in while visiting our son for Parent’s Weekend at Norwich University. The home is clean and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. There are 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 1 bedroom in the basement. There is one full bathroom on the main floor. We enjoyed the beautiful foliage, walks down to the Mad River, and grilling steaks on the deck. It was a perfect weekend! We hope to be back next year!

Gem in the Mad River Valley

Bryan's place was absolutely beautiful! What a special mountain hideaway. We stayed for almost a week with our two young kids and dog and everyone was very comfortable. The weather was rainy and cool for August - and we were so glad we had booked Bryan's place since we spent more time in the house than anticipated. The grounds were immaculate. We walked down to the river a few times (it's steep, but our dog and 5 year old had no problem), roasted marshmallows and did puzzles on the deck. The inside was super clean and welcoming. This may have been the best stocked rental we ever stayed at! We did a lot of cooking and appreciated the wide assortment of pots and pans, we did a few loads of laundry, and just enjoyed spending time together as a family in cozy house. The location was perfect for us, very private but within minutes of many MRV attractions.

We had a nice time staying in this region. Waterfalls and local swim spots were great. Rivers were low, but we still enjoyed some fishing. Weather was a bit iffy one day so we drove 30 min North to Ben and Jerry's. The house is private, yet close enough to a grocery store, restaurants, and cute local stores (within 5-10 min drive). Access to the river is nice, but the walk back is uphill/long steady incline which may be difficult for some people. There is some distant road noise, but the outside is otherwise quiet. We had an issue with hot water, but the local contact Thom responded super fast and resolved the issue quickly. He also provided some restaurant and store suggestions. This house is probably best suited for groups up to 4 people, considering the living room/dining room space. We are a family of three dog. We only used the 2 bedrooms upstairs. Note that dogs are not allowed on beds or the couch so bring a crate (we did) if your dog is used to laying on furniture. The crate helped when we were out and at night.

Thank you Bryan for sharing your property! We very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described - we enjoyed using the well stocked kitchen for family dinners and waking up surrounded by the amazing Fall colors. The short hike down to the river was a great plus too! Thank you and hope to return!

Summer visit

A nice quiet and private property with fire pit, hammock, deck, grill and short walk down to a swimming hole. On hot days swimming hole can be busy since it's accessible from a park on the other side. I would just recommend going later in the day to avoid the crowds. Sugarbush glider rides are a short drive away, a very cool experience. Also close to the small village of Warren, the base area of Sugarbush and Waitsfield, all fun spots to visit. House was perfect for us in that there was only 3, but larger families may find it tight due to only one bathroom. And downstairs bedroom is nice but it is in the basement, and the escape hatch for emergencies probably should have some explanation. Overall we enjoyed the property and had a great week.

Wonderful Remote Enjoyment

Bryan's home was as advertised: Beautifully situated in a large private wooded area, which afforded us, and our dog, ample exploring opportunity. Mad River provided good swimming as well! The house provided every comfort, with a full sized deck and grill, a well-equipped kitchen, and easy open layout inside. Enjoyed the blueberries growing in the side yard as an easy-to-pick breakfast! While remote, we were never far from good restaurants and attractions. Great time!

The river house is a truly relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. Swim in the river, hike the Green Mountains, enjoy Waitsfield. Bryan’s house is a mad river valley gem. 2nd stay.
