Lovely Vermont retreat
Overall, we enjoyed our time at the rock river cottage. We felt welcome walking in to the cottage lit by twinkle lights and music playing. The outdoor spaces were beautiful and peaceful (better than pictured). In particular, we loved the hot tub, private beach, and Bluetooth sound system (indoor and out on the deck). The cabin is a nice retreat from busy everyday life. It’s a bit rustic, with every space put to use, and harkens back to a simpler time (VHS!). Well stocked with necessities, trinkets, and tokens — so not your minimalist aesthetic — it felt like a time capsule. We appreciated that our host didn’t nickel and dime us (thanks for the campfire wood!). We loved the town of Brattleboro. A particular highlight was Ball State park hike to Hamilton falls with a truly resplendent swimming hole. Very special panoramic views. We second the macaroni and cheese rec from Vermont country deli. We also loved the oyster bar in town.

Stay away
What an interesting experience…. The weirdness started when the host Liz called me days before the trip and told me I should kick out anyone swimming in the river (before proceeding to rant to me her whole life story over half an hour). We get to the property and immediately learn that this is in fact a public swim area and all the neighbors (and their families) use it daily. It was fine, everyone was friendly and we had no issues. But the property was definitely falsely advertised and all the neighbors we met had plenty to say about our crazy VRBO host. The cabin itself had itself had a few issues. The water is contaminated with by product from the septic system and smells undeniably like eggs. The kitchen faucets, shower, outdoor hose, all smelled. We could not use the hot tub due to the smell and general filthiness. The towels and bed sheets had not been replaced decades. The cabin was dusty and cluttered with items everywhere. The exterior of the cabin was in disrepair. The pictures in the property page are from long ago. The flower beds by the patio are all just ugly weeds now, the stone bench is covered with moss and bugs. To top it off, the host has been harassing me over text a week after the trip. I didn't even bother her... now she's accusing me of stealing an item I've never heard of, as if I would take any of the junk from the cabin with me. Using aggressive language and calling me a gay liberal (??). She has screws loose. Stay away. Stay away, seriously.

Had a lovely time in the cottage. It was so peaceful with the view and sounds of the river running through the back yard. If you are looking for a quaint, peaceful place to stay, I would definitely recommend.

Cute little cottage!
We absolutely loved our stay! Liz was an incredible host and great communicator. The cottage was so sweet and fun with directions and notes around to make your stay is easy as possible. Literally any question we could have was covered. The setting was perfectly secluded but you're still close to town. I would absolutely stay again!

Moldy, cluttered, smelly, noisy - DON'T GO
Walked in to a musty and very clutterd little cabin, and only 2 windows can open. Dust on all the clutter, jaccuzzi is leaning toward the cliff on a rotten deck with dangerous rusty nails sticking out of the railing. Logging trucks and high traffic can be heard from the nearby road over the roaring sound of the river. Power outlet blew out my phone charger. I left a day early to breathe clean air. My dog sniffed the blanket on the bed and wouldn't go near it. It was not relaxing at all. I will never go back. A roadside motel is much nicer than this rotten place. I requested a partial refund and was told she doesn't refund for fireplace smell. It was NOT fireplace smell, it was mold and dust and who knows what else. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Awesome cabin
Stayed 4 days and loved every minute. River in front was spectacular, even had a small beach area with chairs. Foliage was just perfect around this time of the year. Ate the best apple pie at Sutton farm and ate the best mac and cheese at vermont Deli. Must try them. Liz was a great host, thank you so much and cant wait to be back.

Misinterpreted (no privacy and dirty)
We only stayed for 4 hrs,i had a hard time breathing (because of moldly smell and dust). The host said the property was private, she didnt tell us there was an access rd 10 feet from the front door,we must of seen 30 men in less then 4 hours. I spoke to the host and expressed my disappointment and she hung up on me. Dont waste your time booking with vrbo,this is the second time we've been scammed!

We enjoyed our stay at Liz’s cabin. She had everything we needed and guided us to the best spots for excellent food. The cabin is definitely rustic, but an incredible location with the best spot on the river! I wish we were able to take a dip in the swimming hole because it was perfect!

Perfect Romantic Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place! Liz was an absolute delight to speak with, you can tell she genuinely cares that you have a great experience at her property, and we definitely did! The cottage is rustic and super cozy, we felt right at home. This place has everything a couple needs for a relaxing, peaceful, and romantic get away. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub under the stars, listening to the roar of the river, and cozying up by the fire place at night. There is a wonderful farm stand a few minutes down the road that has a mixed berry pie (recommended by Liz) that is to die for. Overall, I don’t have one negative thing to say about our stay. It was truly perfect! We look forward to staying again, we might just have to make this our spot for every anniversary!
