About this house rental
This cozy 4 bedroom 2 bath home sits atop a hill on 3 acres in the quiet village of Wells River, VT (population ~500) along the New Hampshire border and part of the Northern Kingdom area of Vermont. Surrounded by nature and the Connecticut River, you'll quickly find the home and the area relaxing. This is a perfect location for those looking to enjoy fall foliage season in the fall, as well as fresh water activities in the summer, and snow activities in the winter.
We recently renovated this 2 story home which was built in the 1920's. The home features and updated kitchen with brand new appliances, granite counter tops, and hardwood floors throughout. The rest of the main floor includes a formal dining area and 2 living rooms with televisions and with chimneys that open up to a screened in porch which is perfect for enjoying nature while sipping coffee or wine. Also on the main floor are 2 bedrooms each with queen size beds and 1 full bath.
Upstairs there are 2 additional bedrooms with the first having a twin trundle bed which can be used as 2 twin beds or put together to make a king size bed. Down the hall, there's an additional bedroom with a queen size bed and another 1 full bathroom.
Each bathroom has claw foot tubs that were original the home and perfect for soaking. If you're not into baths, no worries, the tubs also include a stand-up shower or hose off the kids out front!
In the basement, there is a washer and dryer, and renters have access to equipment such as tubes, tents, and sports equipment.
Outside enjoy the fire pit, tree swings, picnic table, or play a game of badminton. For those looking to enjoy nature even more, feel free to use the air mattresses and sleep on the porch or set up the tent anywhere on the 3 acre property.
On a typical day, you'll see chipmunks, a variety of birds, and deer on the property. Occasionally, you may spy a fox or moose as well.

Charming with lots of room. Private, very clean, with everything you need. Just an amazing home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Allison.

Rustic and clean 100yo home was great. Big spaces, full kitchen, comfortable beds, good water pressure, tasty apples on the tree in the yard, huge fire pit and awesome screened front porch. Only 2 bathrooms but it's enough to be able to stay in such a cool house.

The house is located on a quiet side road, no through traffic so very peaceful., The property is very large with ample space. The extensive garden allows sitting in sun or shade, as you wish, at any time of day. It is surrounded by huge, mature mixed growth trees. A mother deer and her two young ones came to clear up the fallen apples in the morning and evening. Beautiful to watch them. House was very clean with comfortable furniture and modern appliances. It is a short walk to shops and restaurants in Wells River (Vermont side) or across a bridge over the river in Woodsville (New Hampshire side). There are many trails within a short distance, along the river or up in the hills. The White Mountains to the East offer many hiking possibilities in the State Parks. The small towns in the vicinity such as St. Johnsbury are well worth a visit. See Bierstadt’s immense “Dome of the Yosemite” in the Atheneum there.Allison responded promptly to all communications. The check in instructions and welcome info were clear and helpful. We really enjoyed the stay. (If you like burgers, we recommend Sarkeys’s in Wells River. Hand made and cooked to order, probably the best we have eaten! They have many other food choices, and a nice saloon.)
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
Great location if you're stay in this part of Vermont/ New Hampshire. The town itself has limited food and retail options. I'd opt for accommodations in nearby Littleton, NH if you prefer to eat out. The kitchen was up-to-date but the rest of the house has old appliances, an abundance of personal items, creaky beds, small showers, and furniture draped in blankets. Instead of the charming country house vibe I expected, it feels cluttered. There are countless delicate personal items spread around the dining and living areas. Bedrooms lack side tables, reading lamps, and updated bedding. The sheets and pillows were quite old. Despite my critiques, it's clear that the hosts care deeply about this house and its history. It's full of their memories and they treat it like a museum. Perhaps they should think more about the guest experience. That being said there are limited options in this area so upgrades may not be worth their investment and for many travelers the price is right.
