About this property

Beautiful Vacation Cottage with a View in Newfane, Vermont, near Mt. Snow

At "Ridgeview" you can go to sleep to the flicker of a wood stove, wake up to sunshine streaming through tall windows onto honey-colored pine flooring, and watch from your deck as sunlight fills the river valley and plays across the ridge opposite.

Beautiful construction of 1000 square feet, a two-and-a-half story "salt box" cottage on ten acres, three of which are open and level grounds. Tastefully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, two full baths, two wood stoves, a washer/dryer, and an additional refrigerator/freezer for additional food storage in the foyer. The ground floor includes a private primary bedroom with a queen bed, bay window, full bath, and private deck. Open floor plan and vaulted ceiling on the main level, with queen sleeper and a large view deck. Loft with a full bed for additional sleeping accommodations. Great for couples, two couples, or small families.

Located in beautiful Newfane, which is very quiet and serene, but just minutes to skiing and snowboarding, swimming, canoeing, daylilies, golf, hiking, galleries, antiques, Marlboro Music Festival, Brattleboro shopping, and restaurants.

Price includes linens, cable internet, WIFI, firewood, and utilities. Once you've stayed, you'll want to come back!

Great Little House
While we only stayed for two nights and were out skiing for the day, it was a cozy place to come back to, get the wood stoves going, and relax. Nice secluded picturesque woodsy surroundings. I also left a jacket there and it was promptly mailed to me once I let the host know.

The Third Time's (Another) Charm
As usual, a lovely, peaceful stay in this delightful cottage. Rain drumming on the roof, woodfires, wild turkeys in the meadow dawn and dusk. Perfect.

Ridgeview Magic
My second stay at this property, and just as magical as the first. Beautiful, well appointed house. We enjoyed the woodstoves, views, and glimpses of wild turkeys, deer, songbirds, and even a woodcock(!) that visited the meadow beyond the porch. Lovely, peaceful experience.

Nice cabin, great location, but needed cleaning
This cabin was a very good choice for our 20-day visit to Vermont and the surrounding New England states. The location made visiting sites in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, and of course Vermont so easy and convenient. We did them all. The host, Jim was very helpful, accommodating, and provided good information on local points of interest, despite living across the country (there is a local property manager just in case). The cabin itself was very nice. It is quiet, safe, and remote (in a good way). We enjoyed the outdoor space nearly every night with beautiful views of the trees and mountains. Inside, the layout worked well for us. Although the kitchen is small, it is functional. The stove seemed underpowered but served the purpose. A mini fridge in the kitchen with a full sized fridge one floor down took some getting used to but worked. The living room was adequate although the sofa has seen some better days (hard, lumpy, and a bit uncomfortable). Note that there is no TV in the living area. The loft has comfortable seating which we enjoyed when we could not go outside. The bedroom was large and the bed more-or-less comfortable. On the negative side, the cabin was among the dirtiest rentals we’ve come across in our 20 long-term rentals over the past 18 months. Fortunately, we were able to check in early because we needed that time (and most of the next day) for general cleaning and in particular, mold in the master bathroom shower and scrubbing cabinets, cookware, plates, and utensils in the kitchen. There was also mold in the washing machine rubber gasket seal that we tried and failed to get clean. In general, the place really needs a good “going over” to clean out the clutter, old kitchen pantry items, stuff in any and every drawer, and unexpected bathroom cabinet items such as partial containers of enemas and hemorrhoid cream (why would anyone leave these behind and why wouldn’t they be cleaned out before the next rental?). Fortunately for us, we come with cleaning supplies and the expectation that some cleaning will need to be done but in this instance it was simply too much not to mention. In conclusion, the good aspects of this rental outweighed the cleanliness shortcomings. The location was simply perfect, and the cabin very nice once we cleaned it up. We would likely stay here again if we wanted to re-visit this area.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in the area and still have family and many friends in Vermont. When the possibility arose of having a home here, it just seemed like the right thing.

What makes this property unique

Whenever someone says to me, "Imagine that you are in your special spot, a place where you feel safe and comfortable, and where you feel a profound sense of belonging," I think of the deck of this cottage. The peace that comes from staying here lasts me for weeks.
