About this property

Cabin On a Mountain Trout Stream

Recently built 1035 sq ft cabin with 900 ft of frontage on the Ompompanoosuc River. Loft area contains a large BR with a double bed and an attached sitting room with a single bed. The vaulted living room has a double sized sofa-bed and a Harry Potter "cupboard-under-the-stairs" that will hold a cot for your little wizard. A crib is available if needed. The large kitchen has a table, central island, double sink, refrigerator, microwave, convection oven, and a working antique wood-burning cook stove (Crawford Jubilee). Two bathrooms open off the kitchen -- one contains a sink, shower and W/C; the other a W/C. A large wrap-around deck overlooks the river and has ample room for picnic table and lounge chairs. A propane grill is by the deck. A piped gravity-fed spring provides low-pressure water even if the power goes out.

Imagine having your own private botanical and wildlife park with 3 hiking trails, a waterfall, a 30+ mile overlook, a frog pond, a swimming hole, and a gravel bar "beach". This is sure to keep everyone entertained. Telephone and high-speed internet is included. TV signals don't make it into this valley, so a VCR and CD video library is set up in the living room. A 175-yd practice fairway is part of the 35-acre wooded retreat. Access to the cabin is by a gravel road with a stone-bottom ford that is easily handled by an SUV during low water. During high water a pedestrian bridge does the trick. Moose, deer, bobcat, bear, turkey, and numerous small birds and animals call this property "home". If you're a rock climber, there are cliffs here that will test your abilities.

DIRECTIONS: Exit 14 of I-91. Head NW on Rt 113 towards Chelsea for 7-8 miles; when you reach B&B Store in West Fairlee, continue 2.65-mi more; property is on the right right past the yellow cape. Keep these directions handy as the mountains raise havoc with GPS and cell signals. NOTE: This is a drunk, druggie, pervert -free accommodation.

SPECIAL: 32-day month rate = $3699. Makes you exempt from the 9% Vt rooms and meals tax. (30 days you pay the tax; 32 days you don't). It's like 2 free days on top of the discounted monthly rate.
SEASONAL: June, July and August = $9,500. Act quick before the summer calendar gets chopped up.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT: To provide the highest quality of living standards while making the least impact on the environment.
While enjoying your vacation you can rest knowing that virtually no fossil fuels are being consumed here. Water is gravity fed, cooking is by wood or electric, heat is by wood. Our electricity is generated by landfill methane, hydro, solar, and wind power via Washington Electric Co-op..

Perfect
The sound of the river instantly relaxes the mind. The smell of the pines harmonizes the senses. The peaceful quiet of nature calms the body and spirit. Spending time with Richard feels like family.

Perfect Summer Vacation
My family absolutely loved our stay. Richard has put so much love and attention into the property. Usually on vacation, we go off on day trips and only return to have dinner and sleep. But at this property, I felt like I was missing out if I left the property! There is so much to do! We enjoyed hiking and exploring the nicely blazed trails. We picked blueberries, found newts and frogs, and played tetherball. Campfires and s’mores at night were great also. Communication with the owner was very easy. Richard was available to answer any questions and gave many good suggestions. I would definitely love to return to this beautiful cabin in the future.

Thank you Richard!
We were welcomed by Richard and appreciated his attention to details. He assisted us with our luggage and, helped us settle in. He provided a wealth of information to make our stay amazing. My son enjoyed the information given and had success on the river fishing. Wonderful experience and we hope to return.

About the host

Hosted by Richard D

Host profile image
That's me in front of the window with some of the 18 family members celebrating the New Year 2019 with a BBQ on the cabin deck.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is an ideal place to host family get-togethers, weddings, and parties of all sorts. Two bathrooms off the kitchen, the large wrap-around deck, and 30+acre yard give everybody plenty of room to roam or relax.

What makes this property unique

Children can roam about the property and be safe from highway traffic as the only way to access the site is via a footbridge or by wading across the river at the ford.
