Welcome to Riverside Vista, a quintessential New England retreat set on the banks of the Ottaquechee River in the heart of Woodstock Village. Behind a classic white fence and stone wall, this beautifully preserved home offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and riverside serenity.

Step inside to a warm and welcoming interior filled with natural light and character. The main living areas are designed for relaxation and connection, with comfortable seating, curated décor, and large windows that frame lovely views of the river and neighborhood. Whether you’re enjoying a book from the shelves, or gathering with friends and family, the atmosphere is both inviting and memorable.

What makes Riverside Vista truly special is its rare, direct connection to the river. Nearly every room offers glimpses of the Ottaquechee’s sparkling waters, and the gentle sound of the current creates a peaceful backdrop from morning to night. Step out the back door and you’ll find a private stone patio perched just above the riverbank—perfect for sipping your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water, or winding down in the evening with a glass of wine by the firepit as string lights twinkle overhead. Adirondack chairs and a grassy lawn invite you to linger, watch the river flow, and feel your cares melt away.

The kitchen balances classic farmhouse charm with modern convenience, featuring exposed beams, butcher block counters, and quality appliances—making it easy to prepare meals to share at the dining table or outside by the river. The home sleeps guests comfortably in three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms: two with king beds—including a main-level suite with a private ensuite bath—and one with a queen bed. Large windows, soft linens, and peaceful river views make each space a restful sanctuary. With two full bathrooms and a half bath, everyone has plenty of space and privacy.

Riverside Vista’s location is unbeatable—just a short stroll from Woodstock’s shops, restaurants, and historic sites, with Mt. Tom’s hiking trails practically in your backyard. But it’s the ever-present river that sets this home apart, offering a sense of tranquility and connection to nature that’s hard to find elsewhere. Here, every stay is shaped by the sights and sounds of the Ottaquechee, and every day brings a new way to enjoy the beauty of life on the water.
