The house was very clean and had everything that we needed. Lively view of the river in the back and we enjoyed the outdoor sauna. We attended a wedding in Moretown and it was the perfect location.

We enjoyed a family weekend at the beautiful mad river retreat. The house was very comfortable, clean and well organized. We explored the river and swam in the clean and refreshing water hole by the house. This was our first visit to the mad river valley and won’t be the last, We really enjoyed the mountains, beautiful scenery and friendly community and had much fun tubing and fishing. Michelle was an amazing host!!

Clean, adorable little Vermont country home. Host is friendly and quick to respond. We are extremely happy with our stay. Beautiful, tranquil, well kept home and property. Beautiful perennials, outdoor sauna, outdoor fire pit overlooking the mad River. The sound of the mad River is so peaceful. This house comes with everything you need and can think of. Just bring your groceries and suitcase. Comfortable beds and bedding. We highly recommend and will definitely return next year. Guest book to sign and a welcome package with book listing check in/ check out details and local restaurants. Instructions on how to use sauna and emergency contact info. They have everything you need.
