Really neat/interesting house near Richmond and drivable to many of Vermont's destination points like Stowe, Woodstock, Killington. The hosts are excellent and timely in communicating and making recommendations (if you stay, go to Maple Soul for amazing Farm to Table food). The house is well-stocked and accommodates a large group (we had 8 and were very comfortable).

This house was spectacular and even better than the pics bc the house updates are not reflected in the pics. Fully, and I mean fully, stocked house that’s so well laid out. Meant for big families of all ages. The sounds of the river and birds right outside was so relaxing. Lois and Tim are very responsive to any questions. House is on a great piece of property. We will be back. We are hesitant to rent a dog -friendly house but it was so very clean. No fur anywhere despite how pet friendly it was with dog beds, gates, bowls, and even treats.

Perfect place for a family getaway

Stayed here with 6 people and a dog and we were all happy campers. My dog especially didn’t want to leave. Beautiful, well maintained property for morning walks and coffee. The house is huge with more than enough space for everyone to spread out and enjoy.

Vermont Treasure

We were a group of 4 couples who enjoyed this spacious home and beautiful grounds by the river. The owners were easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. The Rochester area has many accesses to trails and views in the Green Mountain Forest.

Great Private Place

This property is just as listed! Secluded, quiet and a great place for a multi family vacation! Plenty of space, loved the two living room and two kitchen option, large table and comfy furniture! Would recommend the early birds stay in the 3rd floor bedroom as there’s limited curtains, but overall was perfect and equipped with everything you may need or have forgotten!

What a wonderful place for a family!

We just finished a five day visit to Songbird Haven for the Christmas holiday - what a wonderful time we had! The property was perfect for our family with lovely open common space, coupled with private space for individual down time. We like to cook together on vacation and the kitchen was one of the best equipped we have ever seen. When I had questions on check-in day and contacted the owners, they got back to me immediately. Many thanks to Lois and Tim for sharing their lovely property with us.

Family Get Together

My husband and I stayed here with our adult children, their significant others, my mother and my son’s dog. We had the best time and everyone thought Songbird Haven was gorgeous! The general consensus was “Why don’t the owners live here! Haha” We walked around the beautiful property, dipped our feet in the river, played games, sat around the fire, cooked meals and ate on the deck. We highly recommend this property!

Amazing

Had a family Christmas at songbird and it did not disappoint! The house and property are massive with plenty of room for everyone. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. There’s detailed instructions for everything in the house. We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves anymore then we did it was amazing. Highly recommend.

Girls Trip at Songbird Haven

Lois and Tim were the best hosts. If we could rate 11 stars we would. The house was awesome. It was so well stocked with everything one could ever imagine. We visited Vermont for a much needed girls trip and really enjoyed the peaceful home. We walked along the White River and explored the beautiful property. Lois recommended local restaurants and sites that we found to be wonderful. We highly recommend Songbird Haven for any New England retreat. Although we never met, we consider Lois to be our new best friend.

Perfect get-away!

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give in every category! My family and I just loved, loved this house. It was spacious, comfortable, peaceful - you name it! The location was great for a week of skiing. Easy drive to Middlebury Snow Bowl, Killington and Sugarbush. After a long day of skiing, we loved coming home and making a big dinner in the beautiful kitchen and then sitting all together around the fire and admiring the amazing timber frame surroundings. Lois was a very communicative host - check in was simple and everything was easy to navigate once inside. We cannot wait for our next trip to Rochester.

Vermont at it’s best

The house easily fit three couples and two children ( 2 and 5 years old) and dogs. The house was well supplied with all you needed for cooking and grilling. The yard was very nice to walk and for the children to run around. The internet service was fast. The daytime outside temperatures were in the high 80’s and 90’s , the house fans kept the house comfortable. The access to the river required a little hill but not an issue.

Haven is the right description

Songbird haven was heaven for us. We escaped the heat of the Philly area to discover majestic mountains and raging rapids. The river calmed down midweek after the crazy storms. We went from a calm mountain stream to raging waters but it was fun to watch. The Generator is a huge plus. The owners have thought of everything to meet your needs. The beauty of the lush green mountains and the comfort and size of the house will make your vacay wonderful. Even with some bad weather, this was one of our best vacations. A gem We loved the river.

Perfect escape - wish we stayed longer

Spacious, with lots of beds, and lots of great outdoor spaces. It was 90 degrees (in VT!) on the weekend we were there, but the house stayed comfortable despite no AC. The basement bedrooms were particularly cool and comfortable. So many shared places for gathering throughout the home. I could imagine spending the holidays up there with the extended family. It is off of windy roads in the mountains, so access might be challenging in the winter, but no problems in the late spring. Easy access to Brandon (20 minutes) and Middlebury College (35 minutes). Some might find it too far away from the college, but the drive through the mountains is resetting and therapeutic. Our next child is also going to Middlebury, so we will likely book this place for his future graduation weekend.

Perfect vacation home

The owners have made this home absolutely perfect for any sort of group - large families, multiple families, and people with dogs. The house was beautiful, clean, and very spacious. The beds were all comfortable and the house is stocked with nearly everything you may need. They allowed us to bring our two large dogs and they had a great time running around in the yard and exploring the river. We had campfires at night and relaxed near the river during the day. Completely peaceful and a great spot to let your dogs run free. There are places to check out if you want to leave the house. Our young adult kids left and explored while we happily stayed back with the dogs. We will be back for sure. Our kids are getting older and they are starting to bring their significant others on vacation and this house was able to give everyone space and privacy but had lots of space to gather as a family. Additionally, we have trouble finding vacation homes that allow for our two English Mastiffs to join us. We were very grateful to find a place that did. ires at night

We are an island Family who were looking for a different Christmas experience. We surely got that!

We are an island family of 13 who were looking for a different Christmas experience. We joked about having a Christmas just like in the Hallmark movies and we defenitly got that and more! Coming from an Island it was a bit scary booking this vacay. With the help of Tim&Lois it became so much easier to plan. From tips of what to pack, where to eat, where to get groceries to updates of weather reports! They made the experience even better :) Getting to the house was an easy 3h drive from Boston. Ones we entered the house we were all speachless. It was way beyond our expectations. So beautiful decorated, clean and spacious. The house has everything! And I mean Everything! The only thing you have to pack are your clothes! We loved all the details in the house and we spent a lot of time playing with the kids outside in the snow, walking to the river was a beautiful treat. We played games( all provided) and cooked almost every night together ( the house had everything we needed for our meals). We had lots of plans to go sightseeing Vermont but ended up just staying home, it was too cozy to leave! Everything in the house was a 10 out of 10! Everything worked good, hot water, good WIFI, very comfortable beds, spacious rooms and bathrooms, enough linnens and towels ect. Having 2 washers/dryers was very convenient too. We are very happy we booked this property. We had great family moments and made memories( and 10000 pics) that will last for a lifetime... Thank you Tim & Lois for letting us enjoy your beautiful place! We hope to be back one day.. Ps: dinner at Maple Soul is a must do!!!!

Our Thanksgiving Getaway!

We stayed at this beautiful property over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. It couldn't have been more perfect for our family! We love the outdoors and this property was nestled between mountains and an amazing river. It was all the things we look for when traveling with a large family. There was plenty of space for everyone with their own rooms and bathrooms, a gorgeous well stocked kitchen that opens into a grand living room. We would absolutely recommend this to our friends and family and look to stay again in the future. It really set the tone for the start of our Christmas season. :)

Weekend getaway

The house and property are beautiful. Everything you could want in a home away from home. The Wi-Fi calling was great as there is limited cell service in the area over all. Everything one might need or want it near by if you have to run out for an errand. We walked the property and enjoyed the river. The stars at night were amazing. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 and our dogs were so comfortable. We will definitely be back again
