This was a fantastic house for my husband and I and my sister and her husband. We spent the days touring and then were able to relax in comfort.

Everything about River House is perfect. The location, the view, the comfortable beds. The serenity of the decor. The local artwork. The communication and responsiveness from the hosts and ease of check-in. We will be back!

Beautiful, quiet house walking distance to town
We stayed here for two nights. We walked in to Middlebury downtown where there are shops, restaurants, and museums. The house is beautiful, modern farmstead style. AC for the heat of the summer, and heated master bath floor, which is welcome year round. Lovely mornings and evenings on the porch watching birds on the river.
