About this property

The Jelly Mill-A Peaceful River Retreat

Bask in the beauty of rural Vermont while nestled in the woods of a cozy cottage along the Green River. Sit on the front deck and enjoy the sounds of the river or stargaze while surrounded by the enchanting beauty of the rolling emerald hills. Right outside the door you can walk, bike or jog for miles on quiet scenic dirt roads. Located on a dirt road 20 minutes from Brattleboro and just a few miles from the Massachusetts border, our cottage is the perfect place to relax or enjoy all the area has to offer.

COTTAGE:
Our three bedroom, one bath cottage, is the perfect escape for couples or groups. The right size to feel cozy on a romantic getaway and spacious enough to host a family/group of six. Custom touches throughout with our slate light switch covers and river rock knobs. Tastefully, simply decorated with unique wall art and furnishings.

We have a fully stocked kitchen- plenty of dishes, cutlery, cookware, cooking oil, spices. Gas range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, toaster oven and programmable drip coffee maker.

For entertainment we have a Roku device so you can stream on our 55” flat screen in living room and a 40" Smart TV in master bedroom. Hand drums, board games, adult and children’s books, as well as coloring books/crayons and children's toys.

**No baseboard heaters upstairs, so it stays cooler than main floor during cold weather, but we have lots of extra blankets to keep you toasty warm. We suggest placing one of our fans at the bottom of stairs to push the warm air up.** Both upstairs bedrooms have an A/C and we have four fans that will be there year round. There is also an A/C in the downstairs living room.

PRIVATE YARD:
Private yard with gas grill and fire pit-we provide the wood. We have converted the garage into a patio area with a dining table where you can enjoy meals and be protected from the occasional summer thunder storm. A deck on the front of the house allows for the perfect place to listen to the river, enjoy morning coffee and evening libations, read a book, stargaze and watch the moonrise. There’s a picnic table behind our barn where you can drink in the serene sight and sounds of the brook.

Access the brook behind our barn— our property is bordered by Jelly Mill Brook and Green River.

We won’t be at the house to greet you. We respect your privacy and will not drop in. We do live right down the road if you need us for anything.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITES in IDYLLIC LOCATION :
We live in an area popular with bikers, walkers, and runners for the MILES of quiet country dirt roads right outside the door. A mile and half down the road lands you in the quaint 1800s village of Green River complete with covered bridge, church, and small timber dam where you can swim and enjoy a picnic lunch.

OTHER THINGS to NOTE:
*Located in Guilford, Vermont, we are a 20 minute drive from Brattleboro where you will find the nearest grocery stores, restaurants, and gas stations. You will also travel on about four miles of dirt road to get here.

*Winter tires or AWD/4WD are highly suggested during the winter months.*

*There is no cell service in our area. We do have WiFi and a landline.

About the host

Hosted by Noela and Mike

Host profile image

Mike and I were born and raised in Vermont and have lived in the Green River area of Guilford for 27 years. Seven years ago we bought this sweet little cottage down the road from us and completely renovated the interior. We are artisans with an online business, and work out of a shop on our property, right down the road from the cottage. You can see our work throughout the home—we handcraft slate switch plate covers and river rock knobs. We have a hands off approach to hosting—we value your privacy, but will be there if you need us for anything.
