What a great property! We enjoyed swimming and wading and putting our chairs in the water and watching the beautiful sunset. Made our VT game experience that much better. Thanks for everything!

This was the perfect place to disconnect and unwind! We were only there for one night, but we had everything we could need. Looking forward to going back for a longer stay soon!

We had the best time! It felt like home the moment we got out of the car. We saw many animals: deer, geese, duck, beaver, heron, eagle, cardinal, etc. The sound of the creek was so relaxing. Family gathered on the porch, watched fire flies and stars come out. I never wanted to leave.

Let me tell you, my children and I did NOT want to leave this property. We traveled to four different places on our vacation and my stay at this house was our favorite! My children played in the creek catching crawdads. There were beautiful deer and two speckled fawns that wandered up for a drink from the stream. It was close to town yet felt very private and secluded. Of our entire vacation, I slept best in the bed on this property. Our entire family only wishes we could have stayed longer! We truly loved your home and your sweet little town! P.s. The pancakes at the little restaurant in town were FABULOUS!!!!!! If we lived in New Castle, we would eat at that little diner daily! The food was delicious and the folks there so very kind. New Castle is a special place filled with beautiful nature, architecture, and history. We truly hope to get be able to return and stay longer next time.

Why they chose this property

Waterfront property that is easily accessible right in front of the house. Large yard with removable fire pit and plenty of space to play or just relax and enjoy the creek. Many walking/hiking trails , a half acre primitive camping/picnic area as well as water activities are available with a signed waiver. This property is home to several fish species and many types of waterfowl. My favorites are the Blue Heron and the Bald Eagles that are regularly spotted along the creek. The Canadian Geese and the Whitetail Deer are regular visitors. It is a nature photographer’s dream world! Many of these visitors can be seen right from the porches of the Shady Rest. If you want a more challenging hike there are many popular trails nearby such as Dragon's Tooth and Mcafee’s Knob.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a unique vacation experience at a beautiful creek side setting. If you enjoy nature and the outdoors then this is the perfect place. Hunters welcome to stay as national forest public lands are only a couple miles away.
