Wells River, Vermont
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.
We love everything about this place , huge lot with bunch of cute details around . Lovely , roomy house. Would love to come back
Beautiful home perfect setting had everything we needed. Ty again
We have stayed at this property a number of times, and it always accommodates the group easily! Fire pit is the highlight in the evening to wind down before bed.
loved the house, yard , 10 min walk to water, and big cones ice cream are stay was great.
Felt like we were in a forest of our own, even though town is around the corner. The house is beautiful and we felt at home. If we come to Vermont, we will definetly book again.
House was very spacious and safe with a large yard for kids to play. Kitchen had plenty of dinnerware, cookware, and even some cooking oils and spices. A small amount of basic consumables (toilet paper, coffee pods, hand soap) were supplied. The furniture was a bit old, and the house could use some deeper cleaning (windows etc), but overall it was a nice stay.
Friends were getting married in Groton VT Labor Day weekend, so a group of us rented the house to have plenty of space to get ready beforehand and to relax afterwards. The house is comfortable and roomy and there is plenty of parking. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary items. The screened front porch and around the firepit were fave hangout spots. There is a WalMart nearby (in NH) for quick trips to get supplies. A few notes: Extra sheets and blankets were hard to find. The clawfoot tubs are lovely but the plugs were not useful if you wanted a bath. The full TV/remote control instructions are only in the welcome packet in the kitchen -- would be useful to have them with each TV as well.
We really enjoy our stay there, the privacy … I like that the kitchen was so furnished , It was like cooking at home. thank you !
We have stayed at this property twice, and it is always an excellent experience.
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.
