Avis Cozy 1850s home on the riverfront with mountain & river views - dog-friendly

We loved the cabin and its proximity to the town of Woodstock. Nice to come home at the end of the day. The only issue is the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs….but we managed. Overall a great stay.

Beautiful property located outside the town of Woodstock Vt.

We liked the cottage and the tasteful renovations which preserved its historic nature. Loved the location's privacy and nature surrounding us. It was very warm over our stay and the AC units upstairs and down gave us more comfort. The linens were lovely, even if the mattress was a bit uncomfortable. There were no chairs on the deck and we wanted to sit outside often, so we bought inexpensive chairs and left them there. Our biggest complaint was with Vacasa's oversight. The cleaning crew did not remove the last guest's trash. I filled the container on the porch with it and contacted Vacasa to notify them and request a pick-up. The rep apologized and said they would contact the garbage company and promised a pick-up the next day. No pick-up occurred despite several requests made by me. I removed our trash and stuffed it in the can and hoped for removal before the next guest arrived. I would also add the cleaning service could have cleaned the kitchen better-cobwebs under cabinets, etc. I also could not locate the dishwasher which I was instructed to use before leaving. Not sure how I could have missed it after searching every cabinet in the kitchen...I did the few dishes we used with soap & water and wondered some more! Cottage is charming but if we return we will bring deck chairs, dish soap, garbage bags and a broom.

Beautiful, quiet location next to river with spectacular views of covered bridge & VT landscapes! Clean, cozy, bright, rustic home in wonderful rural Woodstock area. Home is conveniently close to most highways & the center of town. The spacious rooms have mix of period & contemporary furniture, adding to the charm. Had great outdoor deck & river view was certainly a big plus! A few deck chairs would have made that even better! The kitchen had all necessary items for nice stay, loved washer/dryer, Keurig, couple fans, big TV & the easy parking. The two nice, upstairs bedrooms were private, but be prepared for some stairway use.. Great time & very relaxing, we had super week here!

The home is charming, immaculate and amidst woods with no neighbors in eye or earshot. It is on a dirt road, so an awd vehicle is a good idea. A stream runs along the driveway. The Ottauquechee River is across the road. The bathroom is on the first floor, and bedrooms on the second floor. The smoke detector goes off if you saute on the stove. I recommend learning how to turn off a wired in smoke detector. You should open the kitchen window when you saute, because most of the smoke detectors about 15 ft from the floor. The road is a rural road, leading to other roads that extend to Billings Farm in Woodstock, terrific to walk on. Other places to walk are Happy Valley Road and the Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Park. If you time your walk at the national park, leave an hour to get to South Peak to hear Woodstock's church bells, you will feel you've entered a Christmas card. We ate at Pizza Chef, which plays terrific jazz, but wear warm clothes! Also at Simon Pearce- make your reservation a few weeks in advance for a weekend table. The food at both places was great. The trip was a winter wonderland.

The house is located right next to a river and is surrounded by trees, ferns, and flowers--just a lovely lot! It's a short drive to Woodstock and Queechee, so it's great for exploring the area. The house itself has all of the supplies needed for cooking and hanging out with family. The stairs are quite steep, so it was a bit challenging to have bedrooms upstairs and the only bathroom downstairs. Unlike the photos, there was quite a bit of furniture and 2 air conditioners haphazardly placed in the bedrooms. The house could use a bit of attention to make it more welcoming. Our communication with the the host was just fine and everything happened as it should have. I also appreciated that the host checked in with us by text on the cleanliness of the house--that's not also ways done and was a nice touch.

Good visit- peaceful by the river
