Micheal’s home is very special. Perched on the river right in town - cozy, well-appointed with gorgeous views. We had a front row seat to a bald eagle swooping down over the river. Perfection!

Everything about River House is perfect. The location, the view, the comfortable beds. The serenity of the decor. The local artwork. The communication and responsiveness from the hosts and ease of check-in. We will be back!

Beautiful, quiet house walking distance to town

We stayed here for two nights. We walked in to Middlebury downtown where there are shops, restaurants, and museums. The house is beautiful, modern farmstead style. AC for the heat of the summer, and heated master bath floor, which is welcome year round. Lovely mornings and evenings on the porch watching birds on the river.
