Cabin On a Mountain Trout Stream

Recently built 1035 sq ft cabin with 900 ft of frontage on the Ompompanoosuc River. Loft area contains a large BR with a double bed and an attached sitting room with a single bed. The vaulted living room has a double sized sofa-bed and a Harry Potter "cupboard-under-the-stairs" that will hold a cot for your little wizard. A crib is available if needed. The large kitchen has a table, central island, double sink, refrigerator, microwave, convection oven, and a working antique wood-burning cook stove (Crawford Jubilee). Two bathrooms open off the kitchen -- one contains a sink, shower and W/C; the other a W/C. A large wrap-around deck overlooks the river and has ample room for picnic table and lounge chairs. A propane grill is by the deck. A piped gravity-fed spring provides low-pressure water even if the power goes out.

Imagine having your own private botanical and wildlife park with 3 hiking trails, a waterfall, a 30+ mile overlook, a frog pond, a swimming hole, and a gravel bar "beach". This is sure to keep everyone entertained. Telephone and high-speed internet is included. TV signals don't make it into this valley, so a VCR and CD video library is set up in the living room. A 175-yd practice fairway is part of the 35-acre wooded retreat. Access to the cabin is by a gravel road with a stone-bottom ford that is easily handled by an SUV during low water. During high water a pedestrian bridge does the trick. Moose, deer, bobcat, bear, turkey, and numerous small birds and animals call this property "home". If you're a rock climber, there are cliffs here that will test your abilities.

DIRECTIONS: Exit 14 of I-91. Head NW on Rt 113 towards Chelsea for 7-8 miles; when you reach B&B Store in West Fairlee, continue 2.65-mi more; property is on the right right past the yellow cape. Keep these directions handy as the mountains raise havoc with GPS and cell signals. NOTE: This is a drunk, druggie, pervert -free accommodation.

SPECIAL: 32-day month rate = $3699. Makes you exempt from the 9% Vt rooms and meals tax. (30 days you pay the tax; 32 days you don't). It's like 2 free days on top of the discounted monthly rate.
SEASONAL: June, July and August = $9,500. Act quick before the summer calendar gets chopped up.

Perfectly Secluded Romantic Getaway
This was everything we wanted and more in a honeymoon. The cabin was cozy, clean, and romantic. We wanted somewhere secluded with limited cell service (the WiFi was excellent but we switched our phones off). We were able to enjoy ourselves and our time with limited distractions. We can’t wait to return!

Richard was at the cottage to greet us. His property is very beautiful and serene. He is very knowledgeable about Vermont life We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage and the campfires we had at night. I couldn’t have found a better place to stay to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

Family vacation
We felt welcomed from the minute we arrived. Richard is an incredible host and his love of the property comes across. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable for our week long stay. Even though the recent rain had washed out part of the driveway, Richard made sure to help us carry our things up the short walk to the house and he was hard at work fixing the washout. There is plenty to do in the area but even if it’s a little grey and rainy like it was for us, the wood stove keeps the camp nice and cozy and was perfect for staying inside reading and playing board games. We could easily see ourselves going again in the future!

Relaxing Week
Another great stay at this beautiful property. We had a lot of fun exploring the surrounding areas and the property itself. We always find something new every time. There’s never time to get bored here. Lots of fun family time: campfires, lovely dinners and game nights. I already have a running list of places to visit, trails to hike and things to do right at the house for our next trip!

Perfect Home Base for our VT vacations!
This was our second visit to this beautiful property, and we had another fantastic experience. Richard takes such great care of the house and surrounding property. The house has everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. I love the vintage convection toaster oven—it doesn’t heat up the whole house, and cooks food so quickly! They don’t make quality appliances like that anymore. The property has great hiking trails, is beautifully landscaped and the river is a refreshing spot to enjoy on a hot day. There is also a lot to do in the area, if you do decide to leave the property for the day. More places to hike, waterfalls, antique shops and sugar houses are all relatively close by.

Great stay
It was a cute little cabin tucked . We stayed while it was 90+ degrees for a few days in a row and Richard made sure to keep us in the loop to keep the cabin cool. And it surprisingly stayed at a good temperature. The kids had a good time exploring the property.

Unique Location
Although the stream was devastated by the Vermont floods, it was still enjoyable to relax and watch pass by. Several opportunities to explore the area for fishing and hiking. Host was very accommodating and attentive. The wood burning stove made some of best vacation breakfasts ever. Great vacation!

Perfect Summer Vacation
My family absolutely loved our stay. Richard has put so much love and attention into the property. Usually on vacation, we go off on day trips and only return to have dinner and sleep. But at this property, I felt like I was missing out if I left the property! There is so much to do! We enjoyed hiking and exploring the nicely blazed trails. We picked blueberries, found newts and frogs, and played tetherball. Campfires and s’mores at night were great also. Communication with the owner was very easy. Richard was available to answer any questions and gave many good suggestions. I would definitely love to return to this beautiful cabin in the future.

Thank you Richard!
We were welcomed by Richard and appreciated his attention to details. He assisted us with our luggage and, helped us settle in. He provided a wealth of information to make our stay amazing. My son enjoyed the information given and had success on the river fishing. Wonderful experience and we hope to return.

This is the perfect place to get to get away from the electronics and reconnect as a family! We spent the week hiking, visiting local museums, playing board games, and enjoying camp fires. Richard was a great host and offered great recommendations on hikes and a local swimming spot. The kids enjoyed the tetherball and golf on the grounds. We had a great stay!

Quaint, comfortable, relaxing cabin in the woods by a calming mountain babbling brook.
Our stay at your mountain cabin was fantastic! It was just what we we hoping for and more. We so appreciated the quiet setting, all of the offerings of nature surrounding us, our “personal world”, the coziness amplified by the wood stoves, and the icing on the cake, the babbling mountain stream. Our only regret was that our stay came to an end too quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!
