About this property

Log Cabin w/ Amazing Views, River Frontage & Hot Tub

Come stay in our always carefully cleaned, renovated log cabin in the woods with beautiful views of river, mountains and stars.

The cabin is located by the charming village of Williamsville, close to the historic Newfane village, only 12 miles from Mount Snow for skiing and snowboarding, and right on the Rock River for refreshingly cool and clear water all summer long.

Tastefully modernized by Danish builder, the open concept with rows of panoramic windows offers amazing views from nearly every room and front row to leaf peeping.

Recent addition: outdoor hot tub with views of mountains, river and open sky above..

It's the perfect place for a romantic getaway, a family vacation or quality time away with dear friends.

The 18 acre property is located on the Rock River, at the end of a dirt road. The property offers opportunity for scenic snowshoeing and hiking. We provide five pairs of snow shoes – (bring you own snow boots).

The propert has one mile of river frontage with access to the clear and refreshing water of the Rock River. In the summer, a private dip in the river is just a short stroll from the house, and just two minutes from the cabin, in the center of the quaint village of Williamsville, you will find one of the best swimming holes in the area.

Quiet, peaceful, lovely ... stay for two nights or several weeks.

Starting with the outbreak of COVID-19, we now block off a full day between reservations, to do a thorough cleaning of the cabin and the hot tub.

To help us mitigate the extra cost of this deep cleaning, we have raised the cleaning fee to $75. We appreciate your understanding.

Stayed here on honeymoon

We wanted a quiet get away for our honeymoon and this cabin met and exceeded all expectations. It was cozy, clean, well equipped, and just simply a beautiful cabin. Our favorite part of our stay was walking to the river everyday to cool off and then just reading in the chairs that overlook the river. Our second favorite part was standing on the patio overlooking the mountains and river valley at night and watching the fireflies light up the trees. It was magical! We want to come back again and stay longer!

Exceeds expectations

The pictures do not do this place justice! The house was immaculate and bright. Very nice appliances and has any cookware needed. Bed and couch very comfortable, plenty of towels and robes provided as well. The views are spectacular. It is very secluded and private, and the owner is thoughtful and very communicative, even let us know of a local open mic night. Amazing all around

Exceeds Expectations

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was the perfect blend of modern and rustic. It has amazing views (even though our entire trip was overcast or pouring), felt like private oasis and was a great place to both relax or use as a base for day trips. We enjoyed the wine and other thoughtful details at the cabin. Would highly recommend this cabin to couples looking to celebrate an anniversary or relax in peace.

Superb!

Beautiful cabin and surrounding property that exceeded our expectations. The cabin was modern, spacious, well-maintained & very clean. The Kitchen had everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner & what a view while we cooked! The deck, fire pit & sound of the river made it perfect. The other very nice thing was being able to walk around the sizeable property by the river; the chairs at various spots were a nice touch. I was very impressed by Lasse’s quick & helpful responses to all my questions. Hands down one of the best places I have ever stayed. Thank you, Lasse!

Perfect mountain getaway

My family of four stayed here for Thanksgiving and it was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful inside and out, Lasse’s cabin is peaceful, well kept, and perched on a mountainside overlooking a river and plot of land that will make all your wild Vermont dreams come true. As long as Lasse will have us, we will return.

A gorgeous cabin escape

Wow, the views and the property are some of the most amazing of any vacation rental I've stayed in! I am a mountain lover and if you are too, this is your place! If you have the chance to stay in Southern Vermont and want a place that is in the woods surrounded by so much of nature's beauty, while also being close enough to a vibrant town and other smaller quaint towns, look no further! Lasse, the owner, is wonderfully attentive and so willing to answer any questions and provide suggestions of places to explore and eat. His instructions were super clear and he was very communicative which I find so helpful. The cabin itself was very comfortable for my fiance and me. We dined in restaurants nearly every day we were there so we did not really use the kitchen except to reheat some food in the oven and stovetop, but the kitchen would have been perfect for us to prepare any homecooked meals with its gas stove, oven, and dishwasher. The bathroom was beautiful, modern, and spacious. The upstairs bedroom also had plenty of space for us to access our belongings and even hang many clothes in the closet. My favorite parts of the property were the views and access to Rock River. The amount of windows allowed breathtaking views of the sunrise in the main bedroom and downstairs. The deck, though we did not get to sit and enjoy it too much because it was either too cold or rainy because it was mid-November, provided a beautiful way to connect with your surroundings of the woods, mountains, and the river. Access to the trail to the river is right next to the house which was super convenient and private. Lasse really keeps this home and property so clean, which we both appreciate! We are definitely planning on going back again in the near future.

Amazing Cabin!

You will love this place! Recently remodeled cabin with AMAZING views and a VERY relaxing vibe and location. We thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast as the sun rose over the mountains and the sunlight flooded the cabin. The flowing river behind the cabin can be heard very clearly at night, which further added to the relaxing vibe. Everything about this place was great, especially the owner, who was available pretty much 24/7, and he very quickly responded to inquiries about things to do in the area. Also, the lady bugs are considered “pests.” We came from Houston, where mosquitoes are our pests, so this place also has the cutest “pests” I have ever come across. If we ever make it back up to Vermont again, we’ll definitely book here again.

Beautiful cabin in picturesque setting

Our family of three had a wonderful long weekend stay here. You cannot find a more beautiful setting! Lasse greeted us when we arrived and checked in throughout the weekend to see if there was anything we needed. We enjoyed snowshoeing right on the property along a small river and built a fire in the fire pit one night and enjoyed seeing so many stars in the night sky. The cabin was beautifully furnished with new wood floors, stainless steel appliances and a comfortable new bed in the main bedroom. While located in a quiet area away from the crowds, it was also convenient to Mount Snow and downtown Brattleboro as well as many trails and parks for hiking. We look forward to visiting again in the spring or fall!

About the host

Hosted by Lasse Jeppesen Schmidt

Originally from Denmark, I have lived in the United States since 2003, with my US American wife and our bilingual son, Gabriele. I have a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and a Master's degree in Conflict Transformation. A bit of a professional nomad, I currently enjoy making a living as an eco-carpenter, with a focus on full-house renovations in the lovely green mountains of Vermont.

I love skiing and snowboarding with my 17 year-old son and his friends, all now faster than me! Gabriele and I currently hold a season pass to Mount Snow, but we also love the laid-back, local feel of Magic Mountain (another of the local resorts).

I also enjoy (and agonize over) watching my home team "AGF" play soccer in the Danish Superliga (like the Red Sox was until 2004, we are a sleeping giant that has not won any trophy since 1996); losing myself for a while in online chess; and cycling around Denmark every year with my wife and son, soaking-in fickle Danish summers on the small islands that dot my homeland.

I am a jazz and blues fan, though I listen to enough Amy Winehouse that Gabriele tells me to turn it off! Our family got a rescue puppy, Cocoa, who I love very much (and she keeps me - relatively - fit with daily walks in the woods.

Finally, I love my work. Susie and I have long believed in buying primarily recycled and/or fairly traded items as our way of helping to reduce climate change and support livable wages. This log cabin is a reflection of our principles. It is a joy for me to find something old and work with my hands to restore it to its former beauty. Here is where my Danish design training - elegant form is as important as effortless function - meets the Vermont value of ingenuity and quality that lasts. I hope you feel this ethos, along with my joy in bringing it to you, in every room of the cabin.
