Vacatipn with afult children

Stay was great. House and land were great. We enjoyed the river. The only downfall is there is no phone service. You have wifi, but if you step outside you lose it. We had a medical emergency and it took a while to be able to connect to 911.

River House ski trip

Me and a few friends stayed at the River House during a long weekend during the Winter. The house itself was very nice and had many amenities.The location is good for some of the ski resorts in lower Vermont. However there was a rather large snow storm and due to the half hour 40 minute drive to the mountain we were not able to go because of the roads. This was no fault of the owners obviously but if you want to guarantee getting to the mountain maybe pick a place closer and have access to a car with 4x4 capabilities that can make it through snow.Even though we were snowed in we still had plenty to do as the house was full of board games, a pool table and a TV you could hook up any gaming system to.Be aware that you will also be totally reliant on the wifi at the house. the location is a dead spot for cell service. At one point our internet was disconnected and it took us awhile to realize that it went down but all it took is for one of us to unplug and plug the router back in and it went back up.Overall a really fun trip.

Fall at the River House

This property is newly renovated, exceptionally clean, well located next to the river, and uniquely decorated with owner created and produced items from dish sets to pillows and various artworks throughout the home. The hosts, Noelle and Eric, were extremely helpful with explaining the house and surroundings to us, and were always available for any questions or needs that we might have. A really exceptional house with gracious hosts nearby. Highly recommended and we hope to visit again.

Perfection!

The River House was exactly the refuge our family needed over a long weekend. Not only did the home comfortable sleep 6 adults, and a toddler. We had everything we needed at the house, it was conveniently located and provided an oasis. The ping-pong and pool table were a huge hit, and the large private deck comfortable fit our family of 8. We cannot wait to return!

A gorgeous house in the woods of VT!

We had a wonderful family visit at the river house! The newly remodeled house was absolutely stunning, as was the surrounding nature. What made this house the most unique stay was the decor, ALL made by Noelle. From the artwork, to the pottery table ware, and even the pillows, Noelle’s artwork is incredible and made the experience so special. In addition, Eric was immediately responsive to any request or question and it was a pleasure to meet both Eric and Noelle! We recommend The River House to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in southern VT. We look forward to returning in the future!!
