Cabin In The Woods

We absolutely love the little cabin in the woods! This was our second stay this year and have loved it each time. The cabin is cozy, clean and inviting. The property, on the inside and out, has everything you will need for an enjoyable and relaxing vacation. This is our new go to spot for all of our VT vacations, no matter the time of year!
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025

Hello! My husband Seth and I own On The River A-Frame together in Waterbury, Vermont. I’m a designer, and mother of two. Our family enjoys skiing, biking, paddling, dips in the lake, cabin projects, and wandering by the river when we’re at the a-frame. We love having the opportunity as hosts to share our favorite place and experiences with the wonderful people we’ve met

What makes this property unique

It's a funky a-frame! It's an authentic Vermont experience.
