Beautiful historic property

This is a well-located historic property right along the Housatonic River. The owner, Brigitte, does everything possible to make things comfy. It’s an excellent choice!

Thank you for your review, Victor, but it is on the BATTENKILL River, not the Housatonic!

Perfect Romantic Getaway on the River

The home was gorgeous and was very comfortable. It felt like a secluded spot away from a beautiful little town. There was even seating by the river that provided a beautiful spot to drink coffee each morning. It was just the experience my fiancé and I were looking for!

Perfect VT River Hideaway

We had a brilliant stay in this delightful VT farmhouse, which is completely up to date, and absolutely stunning. Super clean, fantastic decor, great and everything needed-in-kitchen, even a washer/dryer! Brigitte is quick to respond and delightful. PS...great fishing and relaxing under the willows right on the Battenkill River...

Brigitte’s quaint Vermont house was just what our family was looking for for a small winter vacation

The house fit my family perfectly. It was a great experience. Manchester is a great town about 9 miles away with great restaurants. Skiing was not too far away either. Looks like a lot to do in summer there also. Brigitte was great as well. Very cute home. We had a great time.

Location, location, location

This property is nestled right on the Battenkill, which is exactly where we wanted to be. We bought tubes and tube down the river. The house was plenty big for the four of us. It was stocked with everything we needed, Including laundry.

The best feeling

We had a beautiful stay on the Battenkill with a stunning river and the coziest home base to explore the valley and the green mountains. Brigitte was extremely helpful and easy to connect to and joy to communicate with. We already wish we were back!

Relaxing

Brigette was wonderful to communicate with and the property is very comfortable and relaxing. Sitting by the fire or river is so rejuvenating. Tubing and kayaking on the Battenkill was so fun. Fishing from the property was also good! Thanks Brigette

Perfect Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in VT. The location of the house was perfect. We were able to launch our kayaks right from the property. There was a Par 3 golf course right across the street which we played many times. You could walk to the village for bite to eat or ice cream. If you just wanted to relax, you could pull up a chair by the river. We enjoyed out stay tremendously. We will definitely be back.
