If you need a place in the Wells, VT area to stay to accomodate a large group (or even just a couple), this would be my first choice. Ideal for 3 couples but has room for small children. The host could not have been more accommodating and even provided our two little ones with extra's. Responses to my questions were answered in minutes so really appreciated the communication. The house was clean, well equipped and pet friendly. The view from their deck is beautiful as well. Everyone in our group was thrilled with the house and I'm sure you would be too!

Great retreat!

The Rye Chalet was a great experience for our group. The house is extremely well provisioned and is clean and comfortable. Great views, surrounded by woods and blessed quiet. Easy access to neighboring towns and areas with lots to do, especially if you like hiking and outdoors. Excellent communications and support from the host. Would stay here again.

Amazing stay

My family and I decided to book this wonderful place for my husbands 40th family. As soon as we pulled up it took my breath away. The scenery alone was spectacular. There was so much greenery everywhere we looked. Everything was stocked well and the host was excellent with questions when we asked. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning in the future.

Rye Chalet

Very nice and clean property with a beautiful view from the deck! The fire pit was lovely in the evening and the host supplied ingredients for making s’mores! The sky was completely clear and we enjoyed star gazing while we enjoyed the fire! The host provided quick responses to questions I asked and provided amazingly detailed information about the property, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend the Rye Chalet to others and hope to stay again soon!!!

Great Home / Beautiful Location

Our family of four (5) (sons ages 7 and 10 and dog) stayed at the property in July '21. The house lived up to the listing/pics/reviews. The property was a great place for our family to unwind. Being able to bring along our furry family member was an added bonus. Location was great; as we were able to enjoy the benefits of the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains. Hope to be back in the future.

The perfect spot!

We stayed here with a group of friends for a mountain biking trip. We have stayed up at Kingdom Trails for the past 9 yrs and were looking to change it up. This spot was perfect! Close to all three trail heads, plenty of space for everyone indoors and out, great parking situation, not too far from town but felt very secluded. We had some questions about where things were stored while we were there and the hosts were incredibly responsive. Truly 5 star experience!

Great suggestion Janet. I’m assuming you are referring to the kitchen door. We cannot leave a key as previous guests forgot to leave them after check out. Let’s do this, I’ll install a keyless entry there just like the main entrance. That should work. Great suggestion 👍 done. Thank you for staying and your feedback. 🌞

Great Long Weekend

We were down in the area for to attend the VT NH Shrine football game in Castleton and had several family members attending. The house and property were perfect for this with 3 seperate bedrooms. One thing we noticed immediately was how quiet it is, especially at night. Hang out on the deck and relax and enjoy. The house has just about everything you will need. Check in was easy. Thanks again for a great stay.

A great place

We spent two weeks here with our family and the house was perfect for our group. Big enough to spread out with great spaces to gather together. The house was very well stocked with high quality linens and towels, plenty of kitchen pots and pans, lots of dishes, mugs, and glasses, and some extra touches like supplies for s’mores, wood for the fire pit, and charging stations for our electronics throughout the house. Land is lovely and location great. You can walk into Wells and you are about 30 mins from great shops and restaurants in Dorset and Manchester. Highly recommend this house.
