This home is very unique and special to me. I am a builder from Martha's Vineyard and put my heart, soul and experience into this one of a kind post and beam house. It sits on a private island on the West River that you access by going over a covered bridge. There are only two other homes on the island (island is over 100 acres). The house is 2800 square feet and the bedrooms range from 200 to 250 square feet. Each room has special touches down to the hand made tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms and branches in the railing systems. The kid's bunk bed system is handcrafted with logs and branches and sports an elevated walkway, trap door, and rope ladder. The massive 30-foot high interior fireplace is fashioned after a Lew French design and the spiral staircase to the loft has to be seen to be appreciated. I sit for hours listening to the river outside as it is only 30 feet from the house. Some days we put on our snowshoes and explore the island. We have just completed an around the island trail system that shows off its beauty complete with a 50-foot suspension bridge. My girls love looking for animal tracks. We have deer and beaver on the island. I have seen lynx tracks but have never seen one.

This is not really a rental property - this is my dream house. It is 10 miles from Stratton Mountain (about a 15-20 minute ride to the mountain) which is a great ski and snowboard area in the winter and golfing community in the summer. There is a swimming hole off of our trail system, waterfalls and the state park minutes away. And a bodega in town with all the supplies you would ever need.

The House rental comes with a parking pass so that you can always park right at the foot of the mountain. Stratton Mountain is one of the best run mountains I have ever been to. Their customer service is unmatched in Vermont - They give out tissues at the chair lifts on really cold days. The people that work at the mountain truly want you to have a good skiing experience. They are not just punching a clock. The ski school is first rate and my 6 year old daughter can already ski from the top of the mountain and guides me through some of the easier forest trails. Manchester is about 30 miles away and is home to every outlet store you would want to shop in.......... I could go on forever. Oh, and there is a jacuzzi that overlooks the river. Take a look at the pictures and contact me if you want to see more.

    Wonderful, peaceful home! We enjoyed the beautifulprivate wooded setting and the serenity of the river. The home is decorated so nicely and we especially enjoyed the fireplace, the hot tub, the air hockey, and the fire pit. The kids loved taking the bikes on the trail and swimming in the swimming hole and playing in the river!

    We had a lovely time in this amazing home. It’s right on a river which provided an endless view. And the home is so well appointed and creatively decorated.

    Had the absolute pleasure of staying at this home, which feels like a scene straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. From the incredible craftsmanship of the house to the West River and trails just steps away, every detail was perfect. The modern amenities combined with its proximity to Stratton, Bromley, and Mt. Snow make it an unbeatable location. On top of that, the host was fantastic—I had the chance to meet him and learn some of the home’s history, which added even more charm to the experience. This property truly stands in a league of its own. I’ve rented dozens of ski homes, but this one is on a completely different level. Thank you for the privilege of staying here!

    From entry to exit, this property has everything it said it would and more. My kids ranging from 6-13 loved it as well as the grandparents. Location is great. Island map and trail is fun to follow. Highly recommend

    We traveled with our children and some good friends for an annual ski trip over the holiday weekend. It was an exceptional weekend in no small part to Rob’s home. Rob was very helpful in the lead up to the stay fielding any questions we had. The home is well appointed with high end furnishings and felt more like staying at a friend’s house rather than a VRBO rental. The layout was perfect for our group. Outside of the living room there was a loft for the kids to play or watch a movie. The location is outstanding - less than 15 minutes to Stratton while feeling tucked away in nature given the island location. It was an extraordinarily relaxing spot with fabulous views from the whole house of the river.

    We can't say enough great things about this beautiful home! The house is lovely, cozy-comfortable with anything & everything we needed; even right sized play and practicality for the two-year-old. The property is amazing. We enjoyed walking the trails, listening to the river, & relaxing together. To top it off, the host was delightful.

    This was a lovely place and perfect for 8 adults. Wasn’t designed for the baby but there were plenty of us to keep an eye on him. The house design and construction is impressive. Very open but feels very homey.
