We had a lovely week at Noela's and Mike's cottage on River Road. The location was great. We biked along the Green River, walked in several spots and took a nice dip in the river next to the Green River Covered bridge right down the road! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook meals at home including the outdoor grill. It made our week's stay exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you!

This is a very comfy, very secluded place that’s not too far from anything but far enough to feel the nature. I recommend the Meadow and Acorn Beach down River Rd, and heading up Jelly Mill Rd to see the lake ls mill foundations.Noela and Mike are great and their place is as well. Not sure how comfy it’ll be when it’s hot, but I’ll come back and find out!

Daniel, Thank you for leaving the house spotless and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We have window a/c units for the downstairs living room AND both upstairs bedrooms which we typically install in May. Your first couple of days here were exceptionally warm for April but we still thought it was too early to put in the a/c's ;) Hope the fans helped. Thank you again, Noela

Amazing stay here!

Great location, communicative and welcoming hosts, and great amenities. We loved grilling and using the firepit. The surrounding area is great to walk around in. Easy drive from here to Mt Snow.

Gorgeous house with everything we needed! Really lovely and responsive hosts, as well. We loved the remote location with opportunities to swim in the river and at the Green River Dam. Dirt roads provide miles of scenic bicycling. A quiet and relaxing spot!

Jelly Mill

This property to date of our stays rates the highest marks for cleanliness. We had a great time and Noela and Mike were very responsive. It is a quiet house with incredible views of the mountains. We will stay here again.

Great place to "get away from it all"

Check in was easy, communication was fantastic and the place was very clean. We happened to go during the hottest part of the summer, so the place could be a little warm during the day. Overall though, it was just what we needed.

The Jelly Mill is in a quiet setting, surrounded by forest and with a lovely little river across the road. The house itself is very comfortable, clean and welcoming. Noela & Mike are great hosts and give very clear information. Overall, we found it to be a peaceful 'home base' for visiting local family.
