The Kitchen was equipped with coffee, sugar, powdered creamer, spices, and olive oil to cook. He supplied dog bags and treats. The chickens roam free, and you have to watch where you step; you'll step in chicken poop. The river was nice across the street, and I saw the rowing team. It does have a nice view. The host was friendly and approachable, which helped potential guests feel more at ease about their stay, but it also lacked the extra essentials we needed. We purchased lightbulbs and paper towels. The stove and some of the dishes (in the dishwasher) were still dirty. The stove and countertops were not cleaned, and there were bugs/dust on the back countertops.If a broom and a dustpan were available, we would have used them. We also believe we saw a little animal scurry across the floor on 2 occasions.I feel it could have been a better experience than what the rating stated.

Thank you for your feedback, the housekeepers have kept that in mind. There are always paper towels in the kitchen and there was a fresh roll on the counter provided at check in. Not sure about the dishes in the dishwasher as it was run just before you got there. There is also a broom and dustpan in the entry way closet. I was home as well and had given my personal number if there were any issues but was never contacted. Also, please keep in mind if bringing your dog, let the host know that it barks very loudly at the smallest sound. Thank you for choosing Riverwatch. Safe travels in the future.
Chad was a wonderful host! Very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. He even made homemade dog treats for our little pup. The apartment was a quiant little spot just outside Burlington and was perfect for our weekend getaway. Couldn’t reccomend more!

Thank you for choosing Riverwatch. Thank you as well for being gracious guests who respected the property. It was great meeting you and your pup. You are welcome back anytime!
Really beautiful property, especially if you like wild birds and watching their chickens and goats. Tidy little apartment had all we needed. Very approachable hosts.
Nice clean, well equipped apartment. Right across the street from a private dock on the Lamoille River. The 3 large goats on the property provided some wonderful comic relief.
We really enjoyed our stay at this charming old farmhouse right on the river. The place was cozy, personable, and full of rustic charm, with the quiet country setting making it easy to relax and unwind. Our host, Chad, was friendly and accommodating—we enjoyed seeing him each morning. The location was convenient too, with groceries less than 10 minutes away. The kitchen had the basics, and I even learned how to make coffee with a French press (highly recommend future guests give it a try!). A wonderful country escape that we’d happily return to.

The bed was comfortable. The bathroom needs a refresher course or at least a good cleaning. It’s an old farmhouse so I don’t expect sparkling but it was not up to our standards of cleanliness.

Thank you for choosing Riverwatch. As you remember you arrived at the property an hour before check in. We do our best to facilitate early arrivals but when they happen before we get a chance to fully finish the unit it makes things difficult. Please in the future respect the check in times of owners or communicate that you want to arrive early and this shouldn't be a problem.
The apartment is a lovely blend of quaint and convenient. Tranquil setting w goats, chickens, gardens, and lots of birds at numerous feeders. Decor is tasteful, bed is excellent, towels are plush, both AC and heat work well, kitchenware is very nice, PLUS the place is well-stocked with everything from Q-tips to a worthy collection of great books. In all, it was great although I would have preferred a more meticulous and deeper clean before my arrival.
Excellent place to stay for a work trip to the region. Quiet, clean, and nearby local attractions.

About the host
Hosted by Chad Wheeler
Chad is born and raised in Vermont, I have been here in Milton for close to 6 years. We love the property for so many reasons, the tranquility, the landscape, and the beautiful energy that surrounds us. We have recently added goats, ducks and chickens. They're all very sweet and quite entertaining. This home is also associated with UVM rowing and local rowers. During the rowing season you will see students and locals out on the river training. We love our home and truly enjoy sharing it with others.
Why they chose this property
From the river access to the mature fruit trees this place is special. The home is filled with history being built in 1820 and in a neighborhood of many historic homes. The sunsets on the river are amazing. The soil is epic for growing flowers and veggies. Not to mention the close proximity to St Albans and Burlington. Just a hop skip and jump to some of the best skiing in the east as well.
What makes this property unique
There is something special about a 1800's farmhouse that isn't available in the halls of a hotel. Not to mention the friendly pups, goats and chickens. The river access is amazing as well and we have over 80 ft of dock that we share with the University of Vermont crew team. The river is 5 miles of amazing paddling, swimming and fishing that leads to Lake Champlain. Tranquil and quiet but with an easy commute to town. You can have the best of both worlds. That feeling of stepping into a simpler time. A place to read and relax or truly enjoy nature.
