About this property

Beautiful Vacation Cottage with a View in Newfane, Vermont, near Mt. Snow

At "Ridgeview" you can go to sleep to the flicker of a wood stove, wake up to sunshine streaming through tall windows onto honey-colored pine flooring, and watch from your deck as sunlight fills the river valley and plays across the ridge opposite.

Beautiful construction of 1000 square feet, a two-and-a-half story "salt box" cottage on ten acres, three of which are open and level grounds. Tastefully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, two full baths, two wood stoves, a washer/dryer, and an additional refrigerator/freezer for additional food storage in the foyer. The ground floor includes a private primary bedroom with a queen bed, bay window, full bath, and private deck. Open floor plan and vaulted ceiling on the main level, with queen sleeper and a large view deck. Loft with a full bed for additional sleeping accommodations. Great for couples, two couples, or small families.

Located in beautiful Newfane, which is very quiet and serene, but just minutes to skiing and snowboarding, swimming, canoeing, daylilies, golf, hiking, galleries, antiques, Marlboro Music Festival, Brattleboro shopping, and restaurants.

Price includes linens, cable internet, WIFI, firewood, and utilities. Once you've stayed, you'll want to come back!

Great Getaway

Fine long weekend in Vermont. The only downside was the bedding. The master bedroom bed was very saggy and the loft bed was saggy with poor sheets. Otherwise very comfortable.

Great Little House

While we only stayed for two nights and were out skiing for the day, it was a cozy place to come back to, get the wood stoves going, and relax. Nice secluded picturesque woodsy surroundings. I also left a jacket there and it was promptly mailed to me once I let the host know.

The Third Time's (Another) Charm

As usual, a lovely, peaceful stay in this delightful cottage. Rain drumming on the roof, woodfires, wild turkeys in the meadow dawn and dusk. Perfect.

Ridgeview Magic

My second stay at this property, and just as magical as the first. Beautiful, well appointed house. We enjoyed the woodstoves, views, and glimpses of wild turkeys, deer, songbirds, and even a woodcock(!) that visited the meadow beyond the porch. Lovely, peaceful experience.

Beautiful cozy home in Newfane, VT

Our family had a wonderful time at this cozy VT home. We enjoyed the 2 wood burning fireplaces very much. The deck was terrific for watching the stars at night and just gazing over the ridge during the day. The kitchen was supplied with everything you need to prepare a meal. Nice quiet property. Jim, I think you need a new inflater for the air mattress. We were not able to blow that up, but we made do. The town of Newfane itself was small, but friendly. Brattleboro a short drive away was really cool. We loved our stay and plan on coming back! Thank you, Jim

Extra costs (cleaning and required insurance) made it more expensive than it was worth

We rented the house as we were visiting family and the location was perfect. It's a nice house, but very plain with no real amenities (no tv in the living space, only one small tv in the downstairs bedroom but no cable or other service, only tiny soaps provided). All we did was sleep there so not a huge issue for us but others should be aware. We also rented the house because it seemed affordable, however there were several extra fees (cleaning, property damage and service) that added over $150. The mattresses were very soft so beware if you need one that's firm. It's VT so I know there are cobwebs, but after paying a cleaning fee I was surprised by how many there were inside. The yard and upper deck are gorgeous, and it is very peaceful and quiet just would've liked a few more creature comforts.

Paradise in Vermont!

We just returned from our stay and I cannot wait to go back! Spent 2 nights with my husband and two kids (not long enough)! A true gem - which I’m reluctant to say because I’d like to selfishly keep this place a secret but after seeing the previous review (baffling!) I felt inclined to reveal the truth about this place. Away from it all & most relaxed I’ve been on a vacation probably ever! Clean, uncluttered, beautiful pine floors, large windows that boast the mountain view, very comfortable beds, fresh sheets and towels, no leaky showers (as mentioned in previous review..???....in fact water pressure and hot water was plentiful). Kitchen had everything we needed! Small fridge in kitchen with large fridge with freezer steps away on main floor. Loved the foyer when you walk in to store our 4 ski bags and wet boots! Open floor plan with views from every seat - also a wood stove in main living area which was awesome. There was an abundance of firewood just outside the door (which we were surprised we didn’t have to supply our own!) Enormous master bedroom with bathroom/wood stove downstairs. Upstairs loft also large enough it had a sitting area and plenty of room for our overnight bags. I am very picky about beds/pillows and these beds are so comfortable and clean! Our kids had a great time playing the board games and running around outside (huge backyard!). Absolutely beautiful location, away from it all, yet has the luxury of WiFi which kept us connected for work/etc. Jim (the owner) was so accommodating and responsive. We’ve rented for over 10 years in VT, NH and Cape Cod and this property is one of our favorites! Wish it was ours and we will be back! Thank you Jim for the lovely stay & hospitality! We love your VT home!

Nice cabin, great location, but needed cleaning

This cabin was a very good choice for our 20-day visit to Vermont and the surrounding New England states. The location made visiting sites in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, and of course Vermont so easy and convenient. We did them all. The host, Jim was very helpful, accommodating, and provided good information on local points of interest, despite living across the country (there is a local property manager just in case). The cabin itself was very nice. It is quiet, safe, and remote (in a good way). We enjoyed the outdoor space nearly every night with beautiful views of the trees and mountains. Inside, the layout worked well for us. Although the kitchen is small, it is functional. The stove seemed underpowered but served the purpose. A mini fridge in the kitchen with a full sized fridge one floor down took some getting used to but worked. The living room was adequate although the sofa has seen some better days (hard, lumpy, and a bit uncomfortable). Note that there is no TV in the living area. The loft has comfortable seating which we enjoyed when we could not go outside. The bedroom was large and the bed more-or-less comfortable. On the negative side, the cabin was among the dirtiest rentals we’ve come across in our 20 long-term rentals over the past 18 months. Fortunately, we were able to check in early because we needed that time (and most of the next day) for general cleaning and in particular, mold in the master bathroom shower and scrubbing cabinets, cookware, plates, and utensils in the kitchen. There was also mold in the washing machine rubber gasket seal that we tried and failed to get clean. In general, the place really needs a good “going over” to clean out the clutter, old kitchen pantry items, stuff in any and every drawer, and unexpected bathroom cabinet items such as partial containers of enemas and hemorrhoid cream (why would anyone leave these behind and why wouldn’t they be cleaned out before the next rental?). Fortunately for us, we come with cleaning supplies and the expectation that some cleaning will need to be done but in this instance it was simply too much not to mention. In conclusion, the good aspects of this rental outweighed the cleanliness shortcomings. The location was simply perfect, and the cabin very nice once we cleaned it up. We would likely stay here again if we wanted to re-visit this area.

Worth the stay

Nice quiet home in rural and wooded setting in suburban Vermont. Home was quant and had a fantastic view of the woods. Bed was extremely comfortable and home was well equipped for a long term rental. Nice back deck with good views! Wood burner(s) were a great compliment to a quiet evening! The property owner was more than willing to communicate with me before, during, and after our stay. He went above and beyond and definitely encourages his guests to get out and enjoy Vermont! He is more than willing to help with anything he can and I think that in itself speaks volumes to anyone looking for a vacation rental! Driveway is easy too miss- home before the rental is numbered 21, the rental is next on the left but lacks any visible address or signage. Also bring your own DVD player if you plan on watching DVD's. TV has a HD hookup. Strongly recommend purchasing the DeLorme Vermont/New Hampshire road Gazetter from Garmin. It is $24.99 on Garmin's website and if you get two it is free shipping. These atlases have everything you need even if you have a GPS. Parks, scenic drives, etc. Blow-ups of city streets and all the backroads are included. Definite for any traveller and I strongly recommend one. Verizon and maybe other cell service is very sketchy and often times unavailable in some areas. SO BE PREPARED AND GO "OLD-SCHOOL"! Also several local restaurants are closed at odd hours or permanently, do not trust what the internet says. Bring food to cook at the cabin and DO NOT plan on eating out every day, several "mom and pop" places have closed their doors from COVID so keep that in mind. Stores are in the same boat and what is open closes in early to mid evening. Only antique shops we did find open were in Chester, VT. The Fullerton Inn in Chester had an excellent meal along with a fine wine and beer selection. Great for that nice evening with the wife or girlfriend. Eclectic atmosphere, good food and service! Located in an old wood bank building that has a massive wood porch with outdoor seating.

Fantastic cabin on a beautiful piece of land, especially in the new-fallen snow. We really enjoyed our quiet weekend getaway, and especially appreciated the wood stoves and how fast the local plow service cleared the driveway (not that we were going anywhere!). We will definitely be back!

Great little private get away!

We went over New Year's. Great little private get away! Wood stoves in living room and bedroom are wonderful! PLENTY of wood to burn also. Wonderful view of the Vermont woods out the kitchen doors - even a little deck out there to sit on and enjoy the view. No issue getting in or out even in snow.
