Pre-trip communications were concise and helpful. Responses were timely. The cottage was comfortable and welcoming. The location was beautiful and convenient for getting to local activities, while still being private and able to get away from it all. The ease of the experience made the trip more relaxed and pleasant. I can’t say enough good things about my time at the cottage

Quiet and Secluded, yet close to everything

Beautiful property with a nice yard, had everything we needed. Everything was a short drive away, yet we were tucked in the woods in quiet. Spacious and comfortable for 7 of us, everything was very clean.

This is a beautiful, well-appointed home. We made many meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The beds and linens are very comfortable. The outside space has wonderful sitting areas and we enjoyed the firepit and the horseshoe pits. 10 minutes from Burlington so we went back and forth many times.

Great stay at a cozy river cottage! There were so many things to do in and near Burlington. I stayed with my husband and 2 small children plus a couple of other adult friends. We managed to work around having 6 people with 1 bathroom, but we knew that going in. My kids loved the badminton and croquet in the yard.

River Cottage

The description of the property was a little misleading. It's not four bedrooms. It has three bedrooms. It was a bit hot since there is no ac but would be an amazing place to stay in winter. The owner was very friendly. Overall a good stay.

VT River Cottage Stay in the Autumn

Perfect cottage for a family getaway during New England’s gorgeous autumn season! Close to so much from restaurants and local garden stands to Burlington, with all its city offerings; plus, only a short drive to some of the best foliage spots in VT. Pride of ownership shows in this cottage with its many amenities and home comforts. If we’d stayed a bit longer, I’m pretty sure we’d have even taken on a croquet or badminton game! Thank you to Amy and Greg!

Lake Champlain

I stayed at this property for a bass fishing tournament with friends. We had multiple Bass boats and vehicles and there was plenty of room for parking. The property has everything you need as far as appliances. The location is perfect for boat ramps and Lake Champlain activities. The property owner was very nice and lives next to rental property. The property was clean, but it was damp and musty inside. There are no A/C’s but plenty of fans. The property was run down compared to pictures on website. All in all it worked well for our fishing trip but is not a place I would stay with my family.

Adorable little cottage! Perfect location!

We loved staying here! Plenty of fun towns nearby (Burlington and Stowe were some of our favorites!); the river is a short, pleasant walk from the house, for fishing and enjoying the quiet beauty; Lake Champlain is also nearby, and the mountains are just beautiful...such a lovely area! I would come again and again! This little house is simply and charmingly decorated, the beds are comfortable, and our hosts thought of everything...detailed info about the area, well-stocked kitchen, good reading and art supplies, bikes, a stroller, even a fire built and ready in the beautiful wood stove. She really thought of everything and we had a lovely time! We have littles, and it was so nice for them to have room to ride bikes and play in the yard. They loved all the little nooks and crannies of the house, and I loved that it was so toddler-friendly...an easy house to have our 2-year old in. Really great! Just as a heads up, this home does not have AC...we happened to come in what the locals told us was an unusually hot and humid spell for Vermont, so we were pretty sticky in the house. I do love living with the windows open, so when it's more normal Vermont weather (cooler and not humid), I'm sure it's wonderful! Our host was very inviting and welcoming, and we were very impressed with her attention to detail. Thank you so much for a place to make some wonderful memories!! I highly recommend this little place!!

Decent Vermont stay

The property is visually very cute, has a beautiful yard, and is well equipped. They have yard games and firewood and all manner of kitchen equipment. It's close to the highway and to Burlington and the lake, easy to get around. The hosts are communicative. They have a water filtration Berkey in the kitchen so no need to bring water. There is no AC but there are ceiling fans in the bedrooms, which did help. I would not come back this time of year (early July) but perhaps early June or after Labor Day would be comfortable. The house is in need of a deep clean (the floors were sticky and the carpet turned socks black) and some form of curtains to keep the heat/light out in the summer, especially in the back bedroom. The host insists on coming by personally after you check in. While it was kind of her to bring over some berries, this feels intrusive. The house manual is also a bear to read. The box fans need a good clean. The outdoor furniture is in poor condition. The neighbors seem to rev car engines and blast music. This property is probably best suited to short stays for adults vs. longer stays or families with young kids.

Thanks for this feedback, Rachel! We always appreciate any opportunity to improve our guest experience. We are moving quickly to address these issues: a deep cleaning is scheduled and our new outdoor furniture has been ordered - we are so excited about the upgrade!

River Cottage

The property was perfect and met or exceeded all of our expectations. It's about a 20-minute drive outside Burlington and we were there with friends for our daughter's graduation from UVM. It's a great value, especially as an alternative to the overpriced motels/hotel in Burlington. Nothing negative to say.
