The apartment is a lovely blend of quaint and convenient. Tranquil setting w goats, chickens, gardens, and lots of birds at numerous feeders. Decor is tasteful, bed is excellent, towels are plush, both AC and heat work well, kitchenware is very nice, PLUS the place is well-stocked with everything from Q-tips to a worthy collection of great books. In all, it was great although I would have preferred a more meticulous and deeper clean before my arrival.

Snowstorm Paradise

Perfect Vermont stay! This spot has everything you need to get stuck in a blizzard from a comfy bed to a table to puzzle at while watching their goats. Jessica & Chad made us feel right at home, and even snowblowed a long trail around their property for us to walk our dog through two feet of snow! Talk about true hospitality. Definitely recommend to anyone that wants to be within 20 mins to Burlington or simply to enjoy some winter farm comfort. Thanks again J & C!

Great location with easy access to surrounding attractions

We had a wonderful experience at this farmhouse location with easy access to mutiple surrounding attractions. Jessica greeted us with a smile upon arrival. She and her husband, Chad proved to be a most pleasant and accommodating couple. The rental was dutch clean, and there was plenty of amenities on site. The bed was quite comfortable and the property was quiet. We recommend this rental for anyone interested in visiting the area.

Our second stay

We were happy to be able to book Jessica’s place again because we had stayed there before. It is much roomier than having to stay in a hotel room. Quiet but close to Burlington and the islands. Restful area with their goats and chickens. Scenic with a river across the street. Jessica was a great host. We plan to book again.

Country Apartment

This farmhouse apartment is just adorable with a a quiet setting and was just perfect for the 2 of us. We had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Our hosts were very attentive and we enjoyed sharing conversations. We also loved watching the goats and chickens play out back while we had our morning coffee. We would stay again if and when we are back in the area.

Relaxed

We were looking for a peaceful place to use as home base while visiting Burlington, and this listing was just that. The kitchen was very well stocked, the space was clean and simply decorated. It was easy to hop on the highway and get to Burlington quickly. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We’re enjoyed canoeing down the river. We would definitely stay here again.

Riverwatch

Great setting, quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed watching the goats every morning from the back sunroom. Very comfortable place. The only concern for remote workers would be the Wi-Fi connection isn’t ideal. Not an issue for us but just an FYI. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely!

I stayed at this lovely property, with my dog, for two nights. Jessica and Chad were friendly and helpful. The farm is across the street from the beautiful Lamoille River, and from splendid sunsets. I got a kick out of watching the goats and chickens in the farm pen behind the apartment. I had a cozy, relaxing stay. Everything was just right! I highly recommend it!

Perfect Peaceful Stay

This place was perfect for a weekend trip to VT. It was more peaceful and affordable than staying in Burlington and about a 20 minute drive to downtown. The apartment was the perfect size for two! The water was not suitable for drinking but gallons of drinking water were provided by the host. An AC in the bedroom and fan in the living room kept the unit cool. Jessica and Chad were amazing hosts, as were their goats Daisy, Dahlia and Sunflower! I would definitely stay here again.

Very unique farm house experience complete with goats chickens wild flowers bird feeders the host gave us homade applesauce and some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream She had some good suggestions for things to do in the area There is a river across the road and we were able to watch the Crew team from a local school row There were kayaks available as well The only negative was the TV would drop its streaming randomly. The bed was comfortable We would recomend this place if you don’t want cookie cutter hotel rooms and want a bit of farm culture this is it

A great experience at the Chittendon farmhouse

The farmhouse on the Lamoille river was a relaxing and memorable experience. Everything we needed was provided: A well-stocked kitchen with many utensils, extra blankets, and a super comfortable bed, (we both slept great!). And the views were amazing! The sunroom looked out to the back gardens with a view of the goat pen and chickens (delightful entertainment for both of us). Our host, Jessica planted over a dozen types of sunflowers in a beautiful range of colors all around the property. The front of the house faces the river and that view is amazingly tranquil. All these pastoral characteristics added up to a much appreciated peacefulness which allowed us to decompress and leave the farmhouse refreshed.

Burlington anniversary weekend

My husband and I spent a lovely Columbus Day weekend at Riverwatch. Due to the heavy traffic we arrived later than expected and Jessica and Chad were waiting for us on the porch with lights on. Riverwatch is exactly what you see in the pictures. Its quaint and charming. It was fun watching the goats and chickens. The apartment is perfect for 2 people for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. We were taking the Champlain dinner train and Burlington is a quick 20 minute drive. The kitchen and bathroom is stocked with everything you need. My husband loved the vintage Frigidaire! The bed was comfy and the rooms spotless. Its very expensive to stay and eat in Burlington. It rained all day Saturday and we loved having our own place to cook and relax. You cannot get that homey feeling at a hotel. We loved staying here and highly recommend Riverwatch for travelling and touring the Burlington area. Thanks Jessica and Chad for sharing your home. We definitely will stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Chad Wheeler

Host profile image
Chad is born and raised in Vermont, I have been here in Milton for close to 6 years. We love the property for so many reasons, the tranquility, the landscape, and the beautiful energy that surrounds us. We have recently added goats, ducks and chickens. They're all very sweet and quite entertaining. This home is also associated with UVM rowing and local rowers. During the rowing season you will see students and locals out on the river training. We love our home and truly enjoy sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

From the river access to the mature fruit trees this place is special. The home is filled with history being built in 1820 and in a neighborhood of many historic homes. The sunsets on the river are amazing. The soil is epic for growing flowers and veggies. Not to mention the close proximity to St Albans and Burlington. Just a hop skip and jump to some of the best skiing in the east as well.

What makes this property unique

There is something special about a 1800's farmhouse that isn't available in the halls of a hotel. Not to mention the friendly pups, goats and chickens. The river access is amazing as well and we have over 80 ft of dock that we share with the University of Vermont crew team. The river is 5 miles of amazing paddling, swimming and fishing that leads to Lake Champlain. Tranquil and quiet but with an easy commute to town. You can have the best of both worlds. That feeling of stepping into a simpler time. A place to read and relax or truly enjoy nature.
