Any lover of nature and the beauty of Vermont will absolutely relish the opportunity to spend time at this wonderful RiverShack! The property itself has everything you need and more, and the surrounding areas have so much to offer in the ways of restorative time in nature. Lauren and Ian could not have been more accommodating as hosts and we will definitely be back. 10/10!
Lauren was the best, she responded quickly no matter how silly the question was. This includes planning before we arrived. Hands down she is attentive. Her place is very cozy and quaint. Everything is seemingly close by so the location is perfect. And the river!! Absolute perfection
This was an amazing stay! It was so comfortable and clean. The river was so relaxing to sit by and listen too. The hosts were very communicative and accommodating.
The “shack” was cozy and wonderfullly appointed. It had all the comforts of home. Our host(s) were very responsive to all our queries and would reply within a short time. The location, very close to Brattleboro and close to great skiing, is another point of recommendation.We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the River Shack wholeheartedly!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was clean, comfortable and close to several ski resorts. All the amenities were perfect and met all of our needs. It is beautiful spot to get away!
The River Shack was awesome. We spent alot of time relaxing by the river. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed.

We loved our stay! The location was beautiful, quiet and serene. The cabin was lovely, kitchen fully stalked, and bed was like sleeping in a cloud! Highly recommend!
The River Shack was all we had hoped and more! Well kept property with tons of amenities. Check in was easy, detailed instructions, and everything we needed was provided. The river was beautiful, and the surrounding area and towns were peaceful and pleasant. We made so many wonderful memories! Thank you to our hosts… it was amazing!
My three young children had a blast playing in the crystal clear river! Lots of fun. Comfortable cabin, very private.

Beautiful home with everything that we needed. Short drive to Landmark College to see our daughter and close to Brattleboro shopping and restaurants. The river was also wonderful to wake up to. Highly recommend!
Cozy retreat while visiting dad at nearby assisted living.
My spouse, our daughter, our two small dogs and I immediately felt comfortable and welcome upon entering the home. You have everything you need, comfortable, clean and serene spaces. The view of the river is amazing and so wonderful to spend time by the water. Looking forward to returning in the summer when it is warmer so we can swim and go tubing in the river.
We had a wonderful visit to the River Shack -- it was the perfect spot for our family of four, especially given that it rained during much of our trip. The well stocked games and comfy living area made it a great place to hang out. Lots of thoughtful touches, including throw blankets and phone power cords. Beautiful outdoor area on the river and a good location for activities around Brattleboro.

Thank you so much Erin! You & your family was a pleasure 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed yourselves despite the rain!
Nice property. There are many step downs in multiple rooms making it difficult for people with mobility challenges. Being beside the river was a delight. Parking space is limited. Overall we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

Thank you so much Jill for your kind review! We are putting step treads on the steps for a better traction to avoid accidents but a good note for people to be aware of! You were very pleasant guests, thank you for staying with us.
Cute place with lots of attention to detail & great location on the river. It’s been a very wet season in the area so everything was a bit damp (even with running a/c), but owner was very receptive to looking into how to improve that issue & how it affects the cabin & outdoor furniture. Overall we loved the quiet, the availability of inner tubes, kayak, hammock, campfire & outdoor seating. Full kitchen & laundry is a plus! Great atmosphere for slowing down the pace of busy lives!

Thank you Lara! I’m so happy you & your husband enjoyed your anniversary! This season has been abnormally wet but we are learning how to improve the property with the unexpected weather through out the season. You guys were wonderful guests! Thank you 😊
Love this property. We had everything we needed and then some. wasn't exactly sure as to where to put the trash as I don't have email on my phone , therefore I didn't receive the email about the trash and laundry until I got back home. I would rather have been able to text but everything worked out for us, and we had a wonderful, relaxing time.
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this cabin! The main bedroom is large with a comfortable bed, the second bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed (the top bunk was a little tight with the low ceiling so our girls both slept on the bottom bunk), the living room has a nice TV with various streaming services and a sound bar, and the kitchen is nicely stocked! The full sized washer and dryer was a bonus! One thing to to be aware of is that there is no door to the main bedroom, with a shade that blocks out the light but not the sound from the living room.
The area is quiet and not heavily populated so we didn't hear any outside noise except for the occasional passing car. We were able to get to Mt Snow in a little over 30 minutes and Okemo in about an hour.
Lauren was a great host, easy to reach and flexible which we appreciated!
This little place is a sweet, home away from home gem. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Communication was absolutely just right.
We walked in the front door, kicked off our shoes, and left stress locked right out. The house had everything we needed. The updated kitchen and bathroom were spotless. We enjoyed making dinner on the propane grill on the deck.
Out the back door we walked down the soft moss lawn straight to the river.
There were chairs and a hammock for relaxing in the sunshine. A fire pit and plenty of wood were available. The little screen room by the water is an enchanting space. If we'd had more time and a bit of camping gear we'd have slept out there to be near the water.
The river was not deep but it was very cold. We got in anyway. The current could be strong. Life jackets and a little kayak were provided! I recommend scout style talking water safety and hypothermia to older kids and adults, making smaller children wear life jackets, and keeping the life jackets to hand just in the unlikely case an adult falls or is otherwise unable to get back to shore.
This place was a relaxing delight. Two adult couples could squeeze in. An intrepid 3rd couple could sleep on mats or, with a bit of camping gear, in the screen room. The 2nd bedroom would also suit kids.
I cannot say enough good things about our host, this location, or our stay. I look forward to coming back. Thank you!
