Cozy Pet-Friendly Getaway

We had an amazing time in Londonderry, enjoying this very well-appointed cabin (with comfy beds!), private yard and fire pit, and the deck that overlooked the West River…peaceful, yet very close to necessities and a weekend farmer’s market! Patty was super responsive and we appreciated the pet-friendly accommodations! Would recommend highly for a summertime retreat!

Cozy Cabin the Woods

We had a lovely stay at this cabin in Londonderry, VT. The well-appointed home was the perfect size for our family and our small dog. The cabin was conveniently located to Manchester, the Vermont Summer Festival horse show, Bromley and Stratton. We would stay here again!

Fall Escape

West River Lodge is conveniently located close to multiple state parks that offer hiking options. Nestled in the mountains, it’s close to multiple ski resorts. It offers an authentic cabin experience, decorated with an historical touch including the wood burning stone fireplace. The kitchen is efficient and well-stocked. The serene view of the river from the deck is an extra delight, in addition to the large fire pit in the back. Manchester is a scenic 15 minute drive if you are looking for more shopping and restaurant options but the local spots are worth exploring.

ups and downs of the cabin

the area is wonderful! nice shops and charming villages. the house has one bathroom near the kitchen. two bedrooms upstairs and quite a trip to the bathroom in the nite! the property was advertised as having an outdoor fire pit. it was one of the things that attracted us. when we got there the chairs and fire area were buried under a lot of snow. when i asked if the caretaker could uncover, the answer was no. we were disappointed about that. the kitchen was well equipped but some of the things needed to be cleaned or replaced, for example the only small saucepan had burned on food in the bottom. it was replaced after 2 days when i asked. not possible to walk at all from the house....the road is busy and no sidewalks. the living room was pretty and cozy with the wood stove and the internet worked well.

Relaxing getaway

Our stay at the West River Lodge was great! The cabin is very cozy, nicely decorated and equipped with everything we needed. We cooked dinner one of the nights we were there and all we had to bring was the food…the kitchen was fully stocked with pans, dishes and flatware…even a vegetable peeler and can opener! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Fun getaway.

The cabin was well appointed and clean with comfy sofas and beds. Interior design was quirky and fun giving it a cheery tone. Wifi was strong and stable with plenty of places to stream/work/game. Very conveniently located about 20 mins from Manchester and Ludlow right on Rt100. The convenience came with the slight price of traffic noise which I imagine is not that bad normally, but there is a ton of road reconstruction happening due to the storm so heavy equipment was frequently passing. Great supermarket just around the corner made supplying our stay a cinch. Check out Lowell Lake for a spur of the moment hike just 2 miles away. Overall a fantastic location for basing an exploration of VT.

Awesome location and cottage!

The location and town is lovely. Everything you need is right down the street. Tons of awesome swimming holes and hiking/fish spots all within 20+ miles away. The cottage itself is terrific and has everything that you could need. Clean, spacious kitchen and living/dining room. Nice yard with a great firepit area. Secluded deck with a grill. Cozy bedrooms and a nice bathroom/shower. Plenty of privacy and overall great cottage and place to go for a relaxing and fun weekend getaway. 5/5 would recommend!

We were delighted with the cabin. Great location, inside was decorated delightfully and very quiet inside. Although we did not use the fire-pit, it looks awesome. So many places to hike near by. If your looking for that Vermont feel vacation this is your place. ❤️

Adorable and Convenient Cabin

This place was great. We were very comfortable there. We really enjoyed the location of the cabin. Perfect for little day jaunts and then we would come home and cook a nice dinner and relax. Super convenient with a great grocery store less than a .5 mile. The internet worked great. We all slept like rocks with the crisp air coming in from outside. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very, very comfortable. Everything worked. A few things that could be improved upon which are completely our personal preference. We think some new linens would be nice. Also, the pots could use an upgrade and the knives could use sharpening. While the Christmas decorations were charming, it was August....so it might have been nice to not have the Christmas trees up and the Christmas hand towels and let's just say there was a lot of Christmas. The cabin was clean, but could use a deep clean because when you had to plug something in there was a lot of dust bunnies in the corners or if you looked closely and the freezer was not the cleanest when we got there (maybe from needing to keep the compost in there?). The driveway is very steep and washed out due to recent rain storms so we were glad we had 4WD. Also - the one bathroom on the first floor is very far from the other two bedrooms that are upstairs and the stairs are steep. So that isn't the best to navigate at night. A 1/2 bath upstairs would really take this place to the next level. We were with friends who we are very close with so one bathroom was OK, but a 1/2 bath upstairs and an outdoor shower would be awesome upgrades. The most relaxing trip we have had in while. Thank you so much!

Wonderful cabin

This place was a charm! My kids had a blast running around the house, we went fishing on the lake, we checked the river across the street, visit some farms, country stores, etc. Plenty of stuff to do, s’mores at night. The house was very clean when we arrived, host provided everything we needed for our stay. All appliances were working, plenty of fire wood to burn too. We will definitely come back some time in the near future, we loved the house, enjoy Vermont in general.

Prefect getaway

First time in VT, the whole experience great, the house is easy to locate on route 100 right next to the river, very close to a grocery store, hardware store, gas station and many other places. We enjoy making s’mores, cooking, warming up on with the fireplace at night... loved the mornings seating in the front porch drinking coffee and relaxing to the sound of the river right in front of us. The kids had a blast just running around, eating, playin with our dog. We visited some local farms, country stores, went fishing on Lowell lake (do not follow GPS-ask a local), drove to Woodstock and Manchester just to see, the scenic routes are lovely. Overall a place to go and relax, the house has everything you need for that and more. Will come back!!!

This sweet little cabin was perfect for our Pandemic birthday getaway. From the quaint Christmas/winter decor to the well-appointed kitchen to the real fire place, it was just what we needed to rest and restore. The location is also great - 20 minutes to all the skiing in the area and a good selection of dining, from down home to fine. Pat was great about responding to emails and even mailed our forgotten phone charger back to us.

Spring ski trip

Everything was great. It was to bad about the dish washer but there was nothing to be done about that. The part arrived on Monday and was quickly repaired. It was very hard to wash the dishes because there was no hot water and no water pressure at the kitchen sink. The home was very quiet and we had a good rest. We can’t wait to return!

We loved our stay in this quintessential Vermont cabin

I recently enjoyed a three-night stay at the West River Lodge with my wife and two young children, one of who celebrated her eighth birthday during our trip. We spent three days skiing during our visit — two at Magic Mountain and one at Bromley. The location was perfect — about 7 minutes to Magic and 9 minutes to Bromley. It was also less than 1/2 mile from the local market and multiple restaurants. In addition to the location, the cabin was everything you would expect and hope for in a Vermont ski trip. It was a good size for a family of four (or more) with three nice bedrooms plenty big enough to sleep six. The decorations at every turn added nice touches to the cabin, and I was really impressed with how warm and cozy it was inside from the second we arrive. I had worried that it might be cold or drafty, but it was anything but. I also followed directions for how to start a fire and had no issues doing so. If this review sounds overly effusive, that's because it was well warranted. This really was the quintessential Vermont ski cabin for a long weekend. We would definitely return again!
