About this property

Songbird Haven–majestic VT Timberframe, Dog-Friendly Home Along The White River

Enjoy the Vermont countryside any time of the year on over 7 acres alongside the White River. This home offers full amenities within a three-floor footprint of over 4,600 square feet. With two kitchens and two master bedroom suites, this is an ideal location for family reunions or multi-family vacations, including the family dog(s).

Songbird Haven is known for its spectacular valley and mountain views, private walking paths and direct river access. In warm weather, meander down to wade or float in the river, mountain bike along the rural roads, hike one of the many Green Mountain trails, and stargaze the dark skies at night. Fall asleep lulled by the soothing sound of the babbling creek.

In the winter, cross country ski, snowshoe or snow mobile from your front door or drive ~ 30 minutes to ski Killington, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen or Middlebury Snow Bowl. Come back to relax by the fire with a good book while enjoying a well-deserved glass of wine/whiskey.

To experience small town Vermont at its best, drive 5 minutes into Rochester which features Sandy's Bakery, Rochester Café (with its quaint soda fountain), Doc's Tavern, and Maple Soul (a locally sourced farm-to-table restaurant with 'soul').

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Lois

Host profile image
We are empty-nesters now parenting our yellow lab Baxter. It's hard to tell who loves the Green Mountains more ... for us, it's a way to get away from our hectic jobs and get outside (one of Tim's favorite terms). For Baxter, well ... his life isn't so hectic but he loves the freedom of getting outside and having the run of 7 acres and river access!

Why they chose this property

We spent some time in Rochester for a 3-day family wedding in 2016 and fell in love with the area. Tim loved the hiking and long valley views, and Lois loved the charm of downtown Rochester (and a few of the easier hiking trails). It was a special place and time for our extended family and we felt a deep connection to the area. For Tim, it reminded him of his native Scotland. (Yes, he is wearing a kilt in the photo.) For Lois, it was a great opportunity to unplug and get off the grid!

What makes this property unique

What sold us first on Songbird Haven was the expansive post-and-beam great room. The river access and 7 acres of fields with meadow and mountain views were a bonus!

The house was comfortable and spacious and reminded us of the many two-family vacations we took (often with Lois' sister) when all of our kids were little. Hotels didn't work so well with kids (and a dog or 2) in tow, but having a comfortable home where we could spread out, cook in on occasion, and just relax with the family was the perfect formula.

We saw Songbird Haven as a place where we could share the multi-family / friend vacation tradition and build new memories!
