The Jelly Mill-A River Retreat

Bask in the beauty of rural Vermont while nestled in the woods of a cozy cottage along the Green River. Sit on the front deck and enjoy the sounds of the river or stargaze while surrounded by the enchanting beauty of the rolling emerald hills. Right outside the door you can walk, bike or jog for miles on quiet country roads. Located on a dirt road 20 minutes from Brattleboro and just a few miles from the Massachusetts border, our cottage is the perfect place to relax or enjoy all the area has to offer.

COTTAGE:
Our three bedroom, one bath cottage, is the perfect escape for couples or groups. The right size to feel cozy on a romantic getaway and spacious enough to host a family/group of six. Custom touches throughout with our slate light switch covers and river rock knobs. Tastefully, simply decorated with unique wall art and furnishings.

We have a fully stocked kitchen- plenty of dishes, cutlery, cookware, cooking oil, spices. Gas range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, toaster oven and programmable drip coffee maker.

For entertainment we have a Roku device so you can stream on our 55” flat screen in living room and a 40" Smart TV in master bedroom. Hand drums, board games, adult and children’s books, as well as coloring books/crayons and children's toys.

**No baseboard heaters upstairs, so it stays cooler than main floor during cold weather, but we have lots of extra blankets to keep you toasty warm. We suggest placing one of our fans at the bottom of stairs to push the warm air up. In the summer it is warmer than the downstairs, but we'll have a fan in each room to help keep you cool, and there is an A/C in the bedroom that has the full size bed. There is also an A/C in the downstairs living room. Fans will be there all year for those who like white noise for sleeping.**

PRIVATE YARD:
Private yard with gas grill, picnic table and fire pit-we provide the wood. We have converted the garage into a patio area with a dining table where you can enjoy meals and be protected from the occasional summer thunder storm. A deck on the front of the house allows for the perfect place to listen to the river, enjoy morning coffee and evening libations, read a book, stargaze and watch the moonrise.

Access the brook behind our barn— our property is bordered by Jelly Mill Brook and Green River.

We won’t be at the house to greet you. We respect your privacy and will not drop in. We do live right down the road if you need us for anything.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITES in IDYLLIC LOCATION :
We live in an area popular with bikers, walkers, and runners for the MILES of quiet country dirt roads right outside the door. A mile and half down the road lands you in the quaint 1800s village of Green River complete with covered bridge, church, and small timber dam where you can swim and enjoy a picnic lunch.

OTHER THINGS to NOTE:
*Located in Guilford, Vermont, we are a 20 minute drive from Brattleboro where you will find the nearest grocery stores, restaurants, and gas stations. You will also travel on about four miles of dirt road to get here.

*Winter tires or AWD/4WD are highly suggested during the winter months.*

*There is no cell service in our area. We do have WiFi and a landline.

wonderful little get away far off the beaten path
It is a beautiful home with a ton of space (we only had 3 people, but it easily sleeps 6), very clean and well-kept. Our hosts provided everything we needed to make our stay perfect. I also like that the hosts were not overboard with all the rules, as with some other rentals. The hosts were beyond friendly and had excellent communication throughout the whole process. If you are looking for a lovely home with a ton of space to stay while exploring Vermont and Massachusetts, I highly recommend this place.

Such a lovely stay!
Near Brattleboro and great restaurants and shopping, but remote for privacy and scenic views. The cottage was quite clean and had everything we needed. Got a bit lost when we were close, and the hosts actually drove out to where we were to help us find it. Comfy bed (we only used one bedroom), well-stocked pantry. Overall wonderful experience.

The cottage is well appointed and lies in a beautiful, tranquil area on the Vermont / Massachusetts border. Hosts Mike and Noela were very helpful and thorough. We stayed in November and can just imagine how nice the region must be come summertime.

Wonderful Vermont woods getaway
Wonderful place, beautiful location. We will definitely be back! The house was well equipped for us to mostly stay put. Even though we were close to towns and outdoor activities, we were content to spend much of our time right on the property.

Wonderful!
A bit off the beaten path…but worth it! Such an immaculate, comfortable home. It is nestled within the gorgeous beauty of southern Vermont. You can be in Brattleboro for necessities in 20 minutes. There are so many wonderful walks you can take right outside your door. This was just the calm we needed toward the end of our 10 day trip. I would return in a heartbeat!

All the Comforts of Home in a Beautiful Location
This is my second time booking this home, it's such a great spot at a great price. This home has everything my family needed for a weekend away. The space was very comfortable and well-appointed with lots of outdoor and indoor spaces to enjoy. Noela was always quick to respond to messages. The location is just gorgeous with the river and the brook right across the street. Highly recommend.

We live in three different states and are usually only all together once a year at the oldest sister’s house. This year we decided to go away together after attending a graduation party. Lots of time to talk and laugh! This house was perfect for that!

Beautiful location
This cozy home is located on a beautiful river side, rural dirt road. Very quiet, our favorite feature was being able to hear the river when we were home. Brattleboro is an easy and beautiful drive. House was very clean and the bed is very comfy. Noela is very responsive and we appreciated the hospitality!

Cutest cabin in the woods
We loved this place! It was simple and clean, and way out in the middle of nowhere so we truly felt disconnected from work. We had a lovely dinner at Echo in Brattleboro, and went skiing at Magic Mountain (which was about an hour away), but otherwise loved the games and bongos and big comfy couch! We really want to come back in the summer to swim in the river and take a hike!

Girl’s weekend
The house was very clean and a perfect getaway for a weekend of scrapbooking with friends. It is a beautiful area to go for walks and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the river, or visit the covered bridge. The house has everything you need including a well-stocked kitchen, cozy blankets and plenty of sleeping space.
