This place is magical! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We are SO HAPPY we chose to come to this TRUE Heaven in Vermont. When you first, arrive you know this place is special...You will see A Plus landscaping and the beautiful home that sits next to the peaceful sounds of the nearby stream. Inside there is comfy couches, chairs, beds, clean bathrooms, games, complimentary marshmallows and wine, and all of the items you need to feel comfortable and content. The swimming hole nearby is cool and refreshing. I did not fish with the provided fishing poles, but I did snorkel around and saw two rainbow trout in the hole. I recommend letting those fish grow, and just go down the road a bit to the bigger area that does have well stocked trout and other fish. Our hosts had five fishing poles with tackle to use if we had wanted. And the hosts are AMAZING. Susan, who I talked to, was so helpful, delightful, and caring about our stay. Getting to stay and enjoy this home is an experience you will NEVER forget. My wife and friends plan to come back forevermore to enjoy this this magical place. If you are lucky like we were, you can see the clouds and stars of the milky way. It was so clear here. And for the rest of the nights (July) we were treated to dazzling firefly shows. We are so grateful for time here and you definitely will be too.

Got to hike on Wright's Mountain on three different days. What a wonderful resource, and so close by.
The river house was perfect! The sound of the babbling river rocked us to sleep. Our dog loved the privacy and freedom of the property. Bradford is a little gem in Vermont with excellent restaurants. Susan was a very responsive host! We WILL come crack soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the River House. Susan was an ideal host - communication was great and she's easily reached if needed. It's clear that she cares about the well maintained property and that you have a great time visiting it. We arrived to some thoughtful welcome gifts including yard games for the kids and all the trappings for smores. The house is very comfortable and well organized. Its not new, but is a perfect cabin by the river complete with privacy, a firepit, a great lawn, decks, and a well provisioned kitchen. The river level was quite high when we visited, so we couldn't swim, but we did manage some river walks. Saw a moose up on the hill one morning, and visited the Beetlejuice sites just up the road. Bradford is a short drive (5 miles) with a couple really nice restaurants (the Little Grille and Colatinas) and its a quick ride either down toward Hanover or over to great hiking on the NH side. Check in / check out is easy, all the linens, beds and bathrooms were clean, comfortable and neat. Though the house as no AC, it held the overnight cool inside through most of the afternoon and cools off very quickly with lots of windows and fans, so sleeping was not an issue despite the heat wave. Would definitely recommend this house for a comfortable, rustic getaway with lots to do nearby.
A beautiful and relaxing spot. We loved the privacy (and the convenience of Bradford nearby.). In spite of the drought we and our dogs enjoyed the river. We appreciate how much Susan cares about her gorgeous place and her guests. We highly recommend Susan and Dutch as hosts!
We had a great time enjoying the quiet and nature of VT. The only reason for 4 stars is all the furniture could use an update. On a rainy day, stuck in the house, it was hard to get comfortable. Otherwise, it was a fun time. We saw bald eagles, a beaver, and tons of hummingbirds.
The property is within a one hour drive of many attractions in the Green Mountains of VT as well the White Mountains of NH. It's also just 10 minutes away from a grocery store and restaurants in Bradford. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Susan was very attentive to our questions which was very much appreciated. The cabin is situated in a bucolic location that allowed us to relax and enjoy nature from the deck, around the fire pit, or at the swimming hole. The best memory was watching the Perseids meteor shower while sitting around the fire on the last night we were there. The only minor glitch was that the VRBO app apparently doesn't allow one to view prior messages unless there's a cell signal. We have T-Mobile and there was no signal at the cabin so I was unable to view the lock box combination when we arrived and had to drive to Bradford for a signal. That's not the owners' fault, but something that people with T-Mobile cell plans should keep in mind.
It's a large camp on a river relatively well equipped, clean, comfortable, attentive owners. It could use some routine maintenance.

The cabin is a lovely location, right on a gorgeous, private river. We swam in it each day (there’s a swimming hole great for a dip), hung out on the deck, made great dinners, and seriously deeply relaxed. It was just what we needed! Thanks so much, Susan! :)
Susan is such a sweet host and is super responsive! The property is as described with everything you can possibly need in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. There is a long driveway running parallel with the river and along it you can explore the swimming hole or the small waterfall by just wading in. The property was extremely dog friendly and there is first floor bedroom if steep stairs may be an issue for your dog or a guest. Overall this trip was exactly what my husband and I needed - remote/secluded with plenty of hiking opportunities to clear our minds and disconnect from the outside world.
