Fall getaway
My husband, my sister and I travelled to Vermont for a week long getaway. This house was a little bigger than we needed, but the location was a key point. The view of the river was beautiful. Although it's on an unimproved road, so are most of the roads in the North East Kingdom and it wasn't a problem at all. The house was very clean, spacious, the view couldn't be beat and I especially appreciated the well equipped kitchen and quality cookware. We'll stay here again with more family.

Best vacation ever!
We loved our stay in lower Waterford Vermont! A perfect vacation with our adult children and their significant others. The place was clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. The view of the Connecticut river spectacular and access to the community beach was perfect. Far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back! Thanks to the forwand family for sharing such a special place.

Magical Waterfront Cabin
We shared this the cabin with another family, and had an amazing time! The 8 year olds swam everyday in the pristine river. We all joined it to play tag on the lawn while the sun set framed by the water and mountains. Can’t say enough about the natural beauty surrounding this house, I would book again in a heartbeat!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a family of four (with two grown daughters) now spread between California and Florida, though we raised our children in Boston with summers in our Vermont house. Having retired to Florida, the house does not get as much use, and we decided it was time to share our special home on the Connecticut River with others!

Why they chose this property

Within easy reach of Boston, the setting was perfect for a peaceful weekend out of the city. With small children, the ability to let them roam the woods and river was priceless, while the river sports, hiking and tennis proved relaxing for adults as well.

What makes this property unique

A morning swim in the river, when the water is like glass and the birds are out, followed by coffee on the porch, is the perfect summer morning.

Foliage season is spectacular in this area, with the woods surrounding the house ablaze with color. Crisp morning hikes with leaves underfoot is a fall treat - try to take in the fall colors from the lookout point at the top of Chamberlin Mt, a 45 minute hike you can start from the front door!
