Relaxing and fun
Love this property. We had everything we needed and then some. wasn't exactly sure as to where to put the trash as I don't have email on my phone , therefore I didn't receive the email about the trash and laundry until I got back home. I would rather have been able to text but everything worked out for us, and we had a wonderful, relaxing time.

Beautiful home with everything that we needed. Short drive to Landmark College to see our daughter and close to Brattleboro shopping and restaurants. The river was also wonderful to wake up to. Highly recommend!

Cozy, Beautiful Spot
We had a wonderful visit to the River Shack -- it was the perfect spot for our family of four, especially given that it rained during much of our trip. The well stocked games and comfy living area made it a great place to hang out. Lots of thoughtful touches, including throw blankets and phone power cords. Beautiful outdoor area on the river and a good location for activities around Brattleboro.

The River Shack
Nice property. There are many step downs in multiple rooms making it difficult for people with mobility challenges. Being beside the river was a delight. Parking space is limited. Overall we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

Anniversary getaway
Cute place with lots of attention to detail & great location on the river. It’s been a very wet season in the area so everything was a bit damp (even with running a/c), but owner was very receptive to looking into how to improve that issue & how it affects the cabin & outdoor furniture. Overall we loved the quiet, the availability of inner tubes, kayak, hammock, campfire & outdoor seating. Full kitchen & laundry is a plus! Great atmosphere for slowing down the pace of busy lives!

Lovely! What a find! So grateful!
This little place is a sweet, home away from home gem. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Communication was absolutely just right. We walked in the front door, kicked off our shoes, and left stress locked right out. The house had everything we needed. The updated kitchen and bathroom were spotless. We enjoyed making dinner on the propane grill on the deck. Out the back door we walked down the soft moss lawn straight to the river. There were chairs and a hammock for relaxing in the sunshine. A fire pit and plenty of wood were available. The little screen room by the water is an enchanting space. If we'd had more time and a bit of camping gear we'd have slept out there to be near the water. The river was not deep but it was very cold. We got in anyway. The current could be strong. Life jackets and a little kayak were provided! I recommend scout style talking water safety and hypothermia to older kids and adults, making smaller children wear life jackets, and keeping the life jackets to hand just in the unlikely case an adult falls or is otherwise unable to get back to shore. This place was a relaxing delight. Two adult couples could squeeze in. An intrepid 3rd couple could sleep on mats or, with a bit of camping gear, in the screen room. The 2nd bedroom would also suit kids. I cannot say enough good things about our host, this location, or our stay. I look forward to coming back. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was clean, comfortable and close to several ski resorts. All the amenities were perfect and met all of our needs. It is beautiful spot to get away!

Cozy cabin close to the mountains!
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this cabin! The main bedroom is large with a comfortable bed, the second bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed (the top bunk was a little tight with the low ceiling so our girls both slept on the bottom bunk), the living room has a nice TV with various streaming services and a sound bar, and the kitchen is nicely stocked! The full sized washer and dryer was a bonus! One thing to to be aware of is that there is no door to the main bedroom, with a shade that blocks out the light but not the sound from the living room. The area is quiet and not heavily populated so we didn't hear any outside noise except for the occasional passing car. We were able to get to Mt Snow in a little over 30 minutes and Okemo in about an hour. Lauren was a great host, easy to reach and flexible which we appreciated!
