Beautiful property with a nice yard, had everything we needed. Everything was a short drive away, yet we were tucked in the woods in quiet. Spacious and comfortable for 7 of us, everything was very clean.
Perfect cottage for a family getaway during New Englandâs gorgeous autumn season! Close to so much from restaurants and local garden stands to Burlington, with all its city offerings; plus, only a short drive to some of the best foliage spots in VT. Pride of ownership shows in this cottage with its many amenities and home comforts. If weâd stayed a bit longer, Iâm pretty sure weâd have even taken on a croquet or badminton game! Thank you to Amy and Greg!
The description of the property was a little misleading. It's not four bedrooms. It has three bedrooms. It was a bit hot since there is no ac but would be an amazing place to stay in winter. The owner was very friendly. Overall a good stay.
I stayed at this property for a bass fishing tournament with friends. We had multiple Bass boats and vehicles and there was plenty of room for parking. The property has everything you need as far as appliances. The location is perfect for boat ramps and Lake Champlain activities. The property owner was very nice and lives next to rental property. The property was clean, but it was damp and musty inside. There are no A/Câs but plenty of fans. The property was run down compared to pictures on website. All in all it worked well for our fishing trip but is not a place I would stay with my family.
We loved staying here! Plenty of fun towns nearby (Burlington and Stowe were some of our favorites!); the river is a short, pleasant walk from the house, for fishing and enjoying the quiet beauty; Lake Champlain is also nearby, and the mountains are just beautiful...such a lovely area! I would come again and again!
This little house is simply and charmingly decorated, the beds are comfortable, and our hosts thought of everything...detailed info about the area, well-stocked kitchen, good reading and art supplies, bikes, a stroller, even a fire built and ready in the beautiful wood stove. She really thought of everything and we had a lovely time! We have littles, and it was so nice for them to have room to ride bikes and play in the yard. They loved all the little nooks and crannies of the house, and I loved that it was so toddler-friendly...an easy house to have our 2-year old in. Really great!
Just as a heads up, this home does not have AC...we happened to come in what the locals told us was an unusually hot and humid spell for Vermont, so we were pretty sticky in the house. I do love living with the windows open, so when it's more normal Vermont weather (cooler and not humid), I'm sure it's wonderful!
Our host was very inviting and welcoming, and we were very impressed with her attention to detail. Thank you so much for a place to make some wonderful memories!! I highly recommend this little place!!
It was a wonderfull stay in the cottage of Amy and Greg. Nice people when you need something just ask and they bring it overall we enjoyed our stay and we wil tell the people in Holland about there cottage.
The property was perfect and met or exceeded all of our expectations. It's about a 20-minute drive outside Burlington and we were there with friends for our daughter's graduation from UVM. It's a great value, especially as an alternative to the overpriced motels/hotel in Burlington. Nothing negative to say.
When I originally booked this place in January the pics were different and amenities that are displayed are very sneaky how they advertised this property! We had reserved for eight and had eight but not enough towels (the ones provided were torn ripped and had holes and stains) and Seating for eight like advertised one whole table is missing that pics show! Place was not very clean as I would expect! We are all itching and have several bites and are all crawling in our skin! More than one of us have rashes and pray it is not something more! No a/c and house is tremendously hot! We had to go buy fans bc one available was size of a cereal box and only one! There were ants all over our stuff in mornings when we got up in morning after only a few hours sleep! It is a short long walk to river and swimming is not there like advertised when I booked! Just overall disappointed! Will never recommend this place to anyone! She was welcoming and came when we were unpacking and was not dressed appropriately! I had four children and a family visiting while we were getting settled and got questioned on how many were there and only eight was allowed to stay which is all we had! I can see pictures are changed from when we booked so I believe more than myself were misdirected by pics and descriptions of this house! No really good cell service so we knew there was internet! Tried to connect to internet a couple hours before checkout to get code to put key back and was turned off and couldnât use! Not a quite neighborhood because neighbors like to rev car motors and do burnouts with children on bikes and also on way to boat launch! Lots of traffic! Cooking pans are are scraped up and burn your food! Just overall experience was not any I ever want to have again! Probably will always pay more per night and book a hotel! Never be back!!!
Although our purpose on visiting the Burlington area was for a conference/training on Classical Education, staying near the river at the River Cottage made it feel like a vacation. First of all, driving to and back to River Cottage from Williston was quick, easy, and picturesque. We got to enjoy downtown Burlington, Lake Champlain, all so close. The layout of the house provided several sitting areas for the four adults and three teens. We all enjoyed sitting outside by the fire and walking to the river. The beds were very comfortable, except the sleeper couch.
Even when more than a few needed the only-one bathroom, we worked it out. So glad to know now about this charming house, for sure will use it in the future.
We just spent a week at the River Cottage and loved it. Amy and Greg were fantastic hosts; a wealth of knowledge about the area and even watched our 15 month old for 10 minutes so I could load the car since my husband had a cancelled flight and I had to get out of the VRBo on my own with a toddler. Above and beyond. It also gives you easy access to both Burlington and the Champlain Islands - something for everyone (great toddler activities, activities for my teenage nieces who visited, and activities for my in-laws). The house itself was great - well stocked, plenty of space, and great yard complete with a badminton set. I would highly recommend it.
Great find for UVM graduation stay with family. Despite rain, it allowed for some time for family to share some special moments and even family photos at the dock! Thank you so very much.

We absolutely loved Amy and Gregâs place. It has such character and is a great size. We went for a bachelorette weekend and were able to fit plenty of people in the house! We would absolutely return!
Wonderful stay! Comfortable, clean & cozy but spacious!
We had a wonderful girls getaway weekend!
The house has everything you need. The five of us were very comfortable. The house was very clean and had nice linens. You can tell that Amy & Greg have put a lot of thought into their guests needs.
The manual was very helpful. They even left the woodstove ready to go (lit with one match!), and the outdoor fire pit (which we wish we had had time to use).
We enjoyed the outdoor lounge chairs that were positioned perfectly to enjoy the afternoon sun.
The house had really lovely natural sunlight as well, which doesn't show in the pictures online.
Amy gave us an excellent recommendation for a massage therapist who came to the house. We had a relaxing spa morning right at the cottage!
We also took a nice little walk to the point and sat by the river! It would have been perfect for us to have taken kayaks out on, had it been a warmer time of year!
It was only a 22 minute drive to Church Street Market in Burlington for shopping & eating out, although we took advantage of the wonderful cottage kitchen & opted to cook most of our meals at the house.
Overall it was the perfect fit for us! We would love to come back in the warmer months so we could take advantage of the outdoor activities in the area!
Thanks Amy & Greg!
We rented this lovely cottage for a few days escape to the Burlington area. Very well situated for day trips. Easy access to the highway. Amy was wonderful- very responsive. The cottage was well appointed and there was evem a prebuilt fire in the woodstove. The beds were very comfortable. Instructions were provided for everything. We were well taken care of. A nice place to relax and get away from it all.
Place was great. Woodstove was set up for us and we had a fire roaring within minutes of arrival. Close drive to Burlington and local breweries. Highly recommend!
Amy and Greg,
Thank you so much for everything! The River Cottage was an absolutely perfect weekend getaway. You have done an amazing job of personalizing the cottage and making it feel so inviting. We all hope to be back in the future!
Thanks!
