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, Beautiful Spot
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.

The River Shack
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.

Anniversary getaway
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!
