Amazing house with stunning views of the West River. The house had everything one could want or need while on vacation. The fireplace is beautiful and kept us cozy and warm after soaking in the hot tub. Lots of well kept trails to explore the island. The host was helpful and very responsive. A great trip!

The property, the surrounding island and river, the amenities, and the owner were all amazing. Walking into the house took my breath away. I never wanted to leave. My kids loved the games, books...and the kids' room is amazing with tree branches making it feel like you're in a tree house.Hanging in the hot tub on the river while a fire was burning in the pit and the good vibes from the stereo wafting through the trees...it was all amazing.And there are trails going throughout the entire island to walk on. It was great to get out and be with nature.I can not say enough about this property. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful, peaceful home! We enjoyed the beautifulprivate wooded setting and the serenity of the river. The home is decorated so nicely and we especially enjoyed the fireplace, the hot tub, the air hockey, and the fire pit. The kids loved taking the bikes on the trail and swimming in the swimming hole and playing in the river!

Absolutely Wonderful

This house is absolutely beautiful, built by the owner, and well cared for. It had everything we needed and included a new hot tub which was a lovely surprise and beautiful as it overlooked the river and woods. The house is in an idyllic setting very close to Stratton and Bromley. The owner was very responsive and very helpful during our stay. Would absolutely rent this place again and plan to in the future!

We can't say enough great things about this beautiful home! The house is lovely, cozy-comfortable with anything & everything we needed; even right sized play and practicality for the two-year-old. The property is amazing. We enjoyed walking the trails, listening to the river, & relaxing together. To top it off, the host was delightful.

Fantastic getaway

This property is truly remarkable. The setting is breath-taking and the home itself has everything you need. This is the perfect destination for large groups or families, as the bedroom sizes are very generous. I found the 2 story living room with stone fireplace and outdoor hot tub overlooking the river to be the two biggest "Wows!" of my experience. I hope to be back sometime in the early summer to enjoy the outdoor splendor of Vermont.

It was a pleasure having Paul and his friend at our home. Our main goal is to have others share/enjoy our love of the wilderness, our island, and my passion project - Kagan River Ranch. I am just sad that it was so cold during their stay. We can never control everything...and that is the hardest part of life. But at least the indoor surroundings and 102-degree hot tub on the river were available to make things all right.

Beautiful home, amazing river views, excellent stay!

Kagan River Ranch truly is a masterpiece, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need. Setting is perfect and the river views are amazing. Rob met us at arrival to show us the house and the place was immaculate and very welcoming. It was nice to be as secluded as we were, yet close enough to town, skiing and other activities. Children loved the loft, while others enjoyed board games and wine by the fireplace in the living room. Rob is great to work with and we look forward to visiting again.

This was a lovely place and perfect for 8 adults. Wasn’t designed for the baby but there were plenty of us to keep an eye on him. The house design and construction is impressive. Very open but feels very homey.

Magical Location

This is such a beautiful place in a beautiful location. We loved this place so much and the host was incredibly kind to work around our busy schedule. I hope I will be able to stay here again in the future because it was so relaxing. Everyone enjoyed the setting and the house. It is somewhat luxurious in a beautiful natural setting. They had everything in the kitchen you could possibly need and so many other books and useful items for your stay. It feels like a home while you are there, not just a rental.

Great location & vacation home

Oct 2010 -- A dozen members of our family gathered for a celebration & had a wonderful time at the gem. Stunning views of the West River and privacy among Jamaica's hills were wonderful. Proximity to Jamaica State Park, hiking trails and quaint Jamaica center (try Jamaica Coffeehouse!) made for great fun. The home is of the highest quality with everything in new condition, well appointed with all the amenities yet very comfortable. Wonderful open "great room/living room" with natural stone fireplace and adjacent dining room table easily accommodated our large group. Loft and bedrooms provided quiet privacy from the living room area. A great place for a get away!

I love when people enjoy my handy work. This family rented the house during the Fall foliage months. It just goes to show you that the Stratton area is beautiful throughout the year - even when the trails are still green.

As VT as VT Gets-PERFECT

Had the absolute pleasure of staying at this home, which feels like a scene straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. From the incredible craftsmanship of the house to the West River and trails just steps away, every detail was perfect. The modern amenities combined with its proximity to Stratton, Bromley, and Mt. Snow make it an unbeatable location. On top of that, the host was fantastic—I had the chance to meet him and learn some of the home’s history, which added even more charm to the experience. This property truly stands in a league of its own. I’ve rented dozens of ski homes, but this one is on a completely different level. Thank you for the privilege of staying here!

Return stay at a wonderful house close to stratton

We love staying at this lovely house. The kids love driving over a small narrow bridge onto the small private island which has this house and two others. It is very private, yet close to everything. The house is in great shape, and a perfect layout for families. The kids intricate bunk beds are amazing and like sleeping in a tree house. The loft is perfect for the kids to play games or watch TV's while the adults hang out by the fireplace. Two of the bedrooms have great views which make you feel as if you are right on the river. Rob is very attentive to any issues. We hope to return for a third visit in the near future.

Fantastic Stay - Very Unique Home

We traveled with our children and some good friends for an annual ski trip over the holiday weekend. It was an exceptional weekend in no small part to Rob’s home. Rob was very helpful in the lead up to the stay fielding any questions we had. The home is well appointed with high end furnishings and felt more like staying at a friend’s house rather than a VRBO rental. The layout was perfect for our group. Outside of the living room there was a loft for the kids to play or watch a movie. The location is outstanding - less than 15 minutes to Stratton while feeling tucked away in nature given the island location. It was an extraordinarily relaxing spot with fabulous views from the whole house of the river.

Truly a work of art.

If you're looking for an oasis of nature and privacy in this beautiful area of Vermont, look no further. Rob has built a home on this island that is Just as much art as it is structure. From the natural wood accents of the interior, to the setting along the river and the suspended footbridge that Rob recently built along the island trail, this is heaven. Rob was great to work with, always responsive to questions and gave us some tips to enjoy the local area. Having family in the area, I have rented several homes in the Townsend/Jamaica area over the past years, but this has been the most relaxing and pleasant experience yet. Thanks for everything Rob!

Perfect Place to Unwind

Stayed here with my family during July 4 weekend and it was even better than the descriptions. The house is as well maintained, stocked and thoughtfully designed as described in the listing and the prior guests' comments. What you can't get from those sources is just how calming and rejuvenating it is to be right next to the river, with the sound of rushing water constantly lowering blood pressure and providing a great soundtrack to the natural beauty of the island and the surrounding woods. Kitchen is well stocked and you can get provisions from multiple locations but we tended to stay close by at West River Provisions. Rained a lot during our first few days but honestly didn't mind, as the house is cozy and very comfortable. Rob is a great host and very responsive. Would highly recommend

Lovely house in fabulous setting

Two families stayed in this house for MLK weekend. There were 8 of us but the house could have easily accommodated more. The house is absolutely incredible. New built, charming, clean, tons of windows letting in sunlight. It is very upbeat and bright, yet cozy at the same time. Although it is spacious, it was still easy to keep an eye on the children as they loved hanging out in the loft complete with a hammock. The house is very clean, with spacious bedrooms and spotless bathrooms. The location of the house is also worth noting. It is on a private island that is close to everything yet "away from it all" as there are only three homes on the island. The rushing river by the house is soothing and the perfect "white noise" for sleeping at night. Rob is very easy to work with and was very considerate. Our only issue is that he doesn't rent it out often enough =( My kids are already asking about when they can return. We went to Stratton which was a quick drive. Highly recommend the house for the location, house itself, and the lovely setting!

Gorgeous Property with Solitude

We had two families with 10 people all together and the house very comfortably fit us all. The property is private and beautiful. I don't think the pictures did justice of how close and lovely the river is behind the house. We just sat outside for hours drinking coffee and listening to it before the teenagers finally woke up in the mornings...so peaceful. The kids trekked into the rocky river right off the house for fun. But to swim, we went down to the water hole and finally were able to visualize how big 100 acres really is! It was a hike with all our gear, but definitely worth it. We spent a whole day at the swimming hole. The other days, we drove 30 min to go to a lake and a quarry for jumping and swimming. The house is Rob's work of art and we all felt grateful that he is willing to share it. He was responsive to any questions or concerns. We all agreed the beds and linens are extremely comfortable and the showers had good water pressure. Lots of games around for fun. Tons of fireflies and a fire-pit made for enjoyable evenings outdoors. Our only constructive criticism would be for more outdoor furniture but it just made us assume the owners use it more often in the winter when sitting outside is less pleasant! We loved our stay.

So glad you had a great time. The pictures you shared with me were so incredible. I am having the one with the night sky (stars) over the river printed professionally. And you are correct. We need more outdoor furniture. I just ordered some more Adirondack chairs today.
