River House has beautiful views of the Winooski Falls and is part of Burlington's historic mill neighborhood. It's a 10 minute walk to the Winooski Circle which is full of restaurants and activity. Downtown Burlington and Lake Champlain are a 10 min drive away. This unique, arty, brand new loft space includes hardwood floors, a small kitchen and bath, and a shared outdoor space. River House is a good fit for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

The space

River House was built in the summer of 2017 with its historic mill neighborhood in mind. The original house dates back to the 1890s and you'll see many historic details in the house such as photos, maps and books. There are funky, arty touches around the house including large paintings and some smaller works by local artists. The house is stocked with all the comforts of home and we hope your stay here will be restful and that you will get a chance to explore the neighborhood. River House is permitted and inspected by the city of Burlington.

Burlington, VT, United States

This is a unique historic neighborhood and the river twists through it. Down the street is the Chace Mill which has a vegan cafe and yoga studio. Across the river is the Champlain Mill which has an outdoor restaurant in the summer and further down the river by the dam is the Woolen Mills. And of course, the Winooski Circle has many restaurants to try and is only a 10 minute walk away.

We are centrally located and a quick drive/walk to Winooski, the UVM Medical Center, UVM, the Burlington International Airport and downtown Burlington. There are nearby walking trails on the Winooski River Walk, Casavant Natural Area and Centennial Woods. There is tons to do here, come visit!

Getting around
There are nearby bus routes and ample street parking if you have more than one car.

Please note:

The guest house is entirely private and is attached to our single family home. We share a backyard and we might cross paths in the foyer outside your front entrance.

We have two outdoor security cameras for our guests safety and ours. They are clearly visible near the entrance to River House and above the shared driveway. There are no cameras inside!

Please be aware that there is some traffic and airplane noise, as well as the very loud F-35 jets. We live in a busy part of town but River House is a little oasis.

    Everything about the Vermont River House was perfect! Eva was the perfect host and welcomed me with freshly baked granola, milk, yogurt, coffee, tea, and chocolate. Despite subzero temperatures, the tiny house was as cozy as could be, along with plush blankets to watch tv. Having the loft space provided a nice separation between the living and sleeping spaces. Finally, the location was perfect - so simple to walk to Winooski and also to walk, drive, or take the bus to downtown Burlington. Eva compiled a wonderful guidebook that explains the history of the property, along with the meaning of the artwork and photos inside the house. It is a must read for every guest!

    A charming little house along the river. Despite its small size, it was stocked with just about everything you need for a weekend or a weeklong trip, but it is quite small; if you need a lot of room to cook, use the bathroom, packed a lot of items for your trip, etc., then this is not the place for you. But if you enjoy staying in eclectic, fun places, and right in a local neighborhood, this is a great place for 1or 2 travelers. A convenient walk, bike, or car ride to many of the enjoyable activities in and around Burlington, VT.

    Had such a dreamy, delightful stay here. The hosts very thoughtfully provided everything we needed and more, from sleep masks to homemade granola to spices in a fully equipped kitchen. Loved the garden right outside the window and appreciated the treats they left for my and my boyfriend’s anniversary. Would absolutely recommend & hope to stay here again if we return to Burlington.

    The Tiny House was very clean and organized/stocked. Eva was a great host - we knew she was available if we needed anything but we didn't as it was well stocked. Extra touches like home-made granola and a guide book to the house and area were a nice touch. We enjoyed being able to walk over to Winooski, which has several really good restaurants was great. We highly recommend the Tiny House for a VT stay.

    My husband and I loved everything about our stay. The property is fantastic with a beautiful garden, lots of privacy and you can hear the falls. Inside was just as beautiful with so many delightful details, personal artwork and comfortable accommodations. The hammock chair was my personal favorite spot for morning coffee. Within walking distance of great food and drink. Great location to drive to Burlington. Zero notes. Wish our stay had been longer than 2 nights.

    My partner and I wanted a quick and simple getaway to do some hiking and explore the possibility of staying in a tiny home. The River House exceeded every single expectation of ours. Not only was the property pristinely clean from top to bottom, but the decor was perfect- very well thought out, which we appreciated and enjoyed. The bed was comfy and there were plenty of fans for the warmer summer days (also an ac but we did not need it). There was a special nook downstairs for lounging or using as another bed. In that space there is a hanging swing a very generous sized TV with all the streaming services! We really felt the authenticity of the area and the space. The bathroom was a great size for a tiny home. Plenty of room to move around and a good sized shower.Communicating with Eva was a joy! She gave us clear instructions on how to get in. Everything about this stay and location was well thought out. From the quality of things like kitchen staples and bath products to the superior construction of the space itself, this was a relaxing stay and a short walk to downtown Winooski. A mere stones throw from the river. The gardens around the property are so sweet and everything was in full bloom. Hummingbirds and pollinators galore. It was also fenced in which was nice to create the feeling of being in a little oasis. We just can’t say enough good things and we are already planning our next trip! Highly recommend!

    We were very happy in this cozy “tiny house”. The garden was lovely, and being able to sit outside in the mornings and evenings was a real treat. It was great to be within walking distance to so many restaurants. The noise from the military jets was a bit challenging, but just a brief annoyance.

    My husband and I stayed here during our kid's Senior Week at Champlain College, so we could enjoy the area before graduation. It's conveniently located to both that college, to UVM, an easy walk to Winooski, and in driving distance to many outdoor activities. The tiny house itself is beautiful and comfortable; and we would absolutely stay there again. Eva is a thoughtful host; this space has extras I don't usually see in short term rentals.

    We arrived a bit later than anticipated to the house. The lights were on, the house was easy to enter, and set up for the two of us to stay. The house has every light, charger, fan, kichen utensil, salt, pepper, tea, coffee and granola neatly organized in this cute space.The granola is delicious and a nice touch with the yogurt or milk provided. We spent more time relaxing in the house than I origainally thought we would. I did let the teenager with me set the pace. We will return to this space if it is available. I looked at futrue dates that work for us and it is rented and I understand why!

    Never stayed in a tiny house before. It was very cute and nicely decorated. Had everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is change the directions on finding the house. We were told it was a white house but actually looked blue with a shade of green for shutters. It was close to everything and all restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!
