About this villa rental
Nestled in a serene valley of the Green Mountain National Forest and boasting 5 acres of maple tree-laden land, this Victorian home is the place for an unparalleled retreat. The 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath vacation rental was built in 1856 and boasts a perfect blend of old-fashioned charm and modern luxury. Spend your days relaxing at the river on-site, taking a dip in the pool, or roasting s'mores at the fire pit. During winter, curl up with a book in the library and gaze out over a snowy hillside.

Summary of reviewsThe property was absolutely gorgeous with ample room, great hospitality, and a variety of activities. Guests enjoyed swimming, playing sports, and family gatherings. The house is a storybook place perfect for reunions and getaways.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
We spent a week here with four adults and four kids. We had ample room for everyone and enjoyed the property. This is an old rustic house and has some quirks, but the house is in great shape and the property is fantastic. If you are looking for a remote getaway this is nice, as the property has plenty of outdoor options to keep busy. The kitchen has a lot of utensils, pots and pans for use and there is outdoor equipment available as well.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2024
This is a wonderful place to spend a holiday. We were there for Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Snow fell on Thanksgiving day giving us a cozy feel and beautiful walks along a path across the field in front of the house. Be prepared for an older house. This is not for everyone but we prefer it. The working fireplace was a real plus. The Art - everywhere you look there is something interesting and thought provoking. The house has everything you need for a big group (we were a group of 10). The kitchen is not modern but has everything you need. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. We will rent again for sure.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2024
The house was a perfect weekend getaway for a group of friends from the city. It was absolutely gorgeous and had everything we could need. We even got two feet of snow, so it was a magical Vermont experience! We would definitely go back and thank you!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2021
It’s a very cute house, but its dirty and needs a lot of work that has clearly been neglected for some time. One of the showers is unusable as it leaks into the kitchen. It’s obvious that it’s been ignored for a while because there are water stains on the ceiling. From finding mouse poop in the salad bowl to broken furniture that had been taped back together or simply left broken (dining chairs, to rusty kitchen utensils. This house left a lot to be desired. Oh and there’s no AC on the second floor. Not great when it’s 84 degrees outside with only 1 window unit on the first floor.
