About this property

Western Mountain Lodge on River and Close to Stratton

All season mountain lodge with spectacular river views and close to Stratton. The house has five master suites all with their own baths, plus a magnificent great room, game room, den, loft, large kitchen with island, and dining room that seats 12. The lodge was built in 2012 by the Wadsworth Company, and designed with noted Montana builder Highline Partners, to inspire guests with one of a kind mountain and river views, relaxation, outdoor activity, and intimate time with family and friends.

There are multiple areas for gathering and entertaining: the great room with grand lodge fireplace and coffee table over looking the West River, the den with fireplace, HDTV and XBox, the loft with reading area and 6 person card table, the game room with fireplace, pool table, shuffleboard, and bar, the kitchen with large island and wet bar, and the porch with comfortable couch and chairs overlooking the river. The bedrooms are as follows:

Log Cabin Room (1 king bed)
First floor bedroom designed as an elegant and cozy log cabin with a two person soaking tub and view of scenic on West River. En suite bathroom with double sinks, soaking tub, and rain shower. There is plenty of room to add one of the lodge's fold out beds.

River Room (1 king bed)
Second floor bedroom designed as the master suite with a spectacular view of the West River and Ball Mountain. En suite bathroom with two person soaking tub overlooking river, twin sinks, and double rain shower.

Mountain Room (1 Queen, 1 XL twin)
Second floor bedroom designed as a mountain cabin with a rustic bunk bed with queen on the bottom and XL twin on top. En suite bathroom with double sinks, and large rain shower. There is plenty of room to add one or two of the lodge's fold out beds.

Trout Room (1 Queen)
Second floor bedroom designed after a fly-fishing lodge with vintage fly-fishing gear and river front view. En suite bathroom with large rain shower. There is plenty of room to add one of the lodge's fold out beds.

Bunk Room (1 Queen, 3 XL twin)
Ground floor bedroom designed as a relaxing camp bunk room with with 4 beds. It has a large bunk bed with queen on the bottom and XL twin on top, and two XL twins. En suite bathroom with double sinks, and large rain shower.

Additional Beds (1 queen + 2 single beds)
The house also includes two foldable single beds and one queen blow up mattress. The single beds are perfect to add to the Mountain Room to make it a 5 person bunk room, or to add a bed to any of the other bedrooms. Put the queen mattress in the den to make it a sixth bedroom, with its own bathroom on the first floor.

The house is an all season retreat with Stratton’s award winning skiing and golf course 7 miles away. Mt. Snow is 15 miles away and Bromley Mountain is 17 miles. The island has miles of trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter, and hiking and mountain biking during the fall and summer. You are steps from fishing for salmon and trout, and swimming during the summer. Enjoy the barbeque and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and telling stories. Jamaica State Park is 1 mile away with extensive hiking, biking, snowshoe, and cross country skiing trails.

The house is located on a 100 acre private island on the West River, which only has two other homes, and is accessed by a scenic covered bridge.

When you are at Dreamcatcher Lodge you are transported to a rustic mountain retreat that embodies the grand mountain homes of Montana, Colorado, and Wyoming, yet is only 3.5 hours from New York, and 2.5 hours from Boston.

Each room has been uniquely designed with a theme that has been achieved by a western architect and interior designer. The great room is framed with massive windows overlooking the river and a grand lodge fireplace, family sitting area, and chess table. The construction of the house embraces reclaimed material, using beams from old barns, antique white oak flooring, Douglas fir siding from old factories, and railings that came out of a 1800’s Victorian hotel.

The house is 1 mile from the town of Jamaica. Jamaica is a charming Vermont town with two excellent restaurants (Astas and Three Mountain Inn), three bed and breakfasts (Jamaica House, Astas, and Three Mountain Inn), craft and antique shops, coffee shop (Jamaica Coffee House), and market (D&K Market) with fresh baked goods and everything you need.

Children are welcome. Keep in mind that the lodge is appointed with fine furniture and art, so supervision is suggested. Also keep in mind that the lodge is located on a river, so children should not play by the river unsupervised.

Spa and massage services are available by appointment.

The house is spacious for a large group and has great amenities. Convenient to Stratton ski resort. Owner was very flexible with our arrival time. Highly recommend.

Another Wonderful Stay
Just finished our second stay at this property. I cannot recommend it highly enough. While we come to Stratton to ski, I think I enjoy sitting in the living room of this house staring out at the serene setting just as much. Perfect for families or a group of friends who like to stay in, cook and relax by the fire.

Satisfied Repeat Guests
Our group loves returning to the Dreamcatcher. The large Adirondack lodge style home on the banks of the West River provides plenty of room for large family style meals and board games in front of the roaring fire and cozy spaces for private moments. Super convenient. Under 20 minutes to Stratton skier drop off and Mt. Snow. Jeremy couldn't be a more accommodating host. Highly recommend for large family or friend gatherings.

Annual Stratton Ski/March Madness Trip
Amazing house in idyllic setting. The house is spacious and well-appointed. Property is very private yet close to Stratton. Kitchen has all of the necessary items. The lower level entertainment area is really comfortable. The sound of the river is soothing - have to imagine a great spot in warm weather. My entire group loved the house.

Perfect Place to Rest and Recharge
Dreamcatcher lodge was the perfect place for us to stay with our friends and their kids for a weekend away. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well equipped. The property and location is magical! And the proximity to Stratton can't be beat. On top of all that our host provided all the information we needed for the house and great recommendations for the area. He even called just to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We loved our weekend away!

A Perfect Spot
Dreamcatcher was the perfect venue for our 11 person, family & friends, ski trip. The house is a big, beautiful post & beam lodge with the most tranquil setting on the banks of the West River. Well stocked and very clean. Jeremy was a caring, attentive host. We look forward to our next stay.

Magnificent Home!
We loved every minute of our stay! Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Sitting out on the porch listening to the river was so nice and relaxing. There was plenty of wood for warming fires and Jeremy even had a Christmas tree since we were there over Christmas. We hope to get back here again in the future!

I'd give this home 10 stars if I could!
Great property to stretch out and enjoy your Vermont stay! This home has it all, great assortment of spaces to enjoy ranging from the outdoor fireplace, covered deck, massive finished basement with bar, pool table, shuffle board and t.v. area as well as a bunk bed bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms. Open concept first floor with soaring two story living room with awesome field stone fireplace and beautiful views of the West River, fully appointed kitchen with double ovens, viking propane range top and large Island. All the bedrooms have full bathrooms with large tile showers, the main bedrooms shower is the size of some homes...it's fantastic! Our group really enjoyed this home and couldn't get enough of relaxing by the outdoor fire pit awhile listing to the river which is only a stones throw away. You could enjoy this home all year round as it is located conveniently to many attractions, I highly recommend this home. We have visited a few different properties in the area but by far this is our favorite and will be hard to beat! And for the summer visitors there is a very nice natural swimming pool build in to the river edge that you can access from a set of natural stone stairs, I can only imagine how amazing that would be during the summer!

"Dreamcatcher" ... The perfect Vermont retreat
Family and friends had a great week at Dreamcatcher Lodge in Jamaica Vermont. Only a 15 minute drive to Stratton Mountain and 20 min drive to Mt Snow. There was plenty of room for all to spread out. The teens hung out in the finished basement equipped with a pool table , shuffleboard table and Netflix while the adults relaxed by the fire during the cold evenings. A large dining table was perfect for catered and home cooked meals from the well portioned kitchen. The homeowner Jeremy provided his number and reached out to us to answer pre trip questions. A property manager made sure the driveway was plowed and de-iced and provided plenty of firewood. This secluded property provided gorgeous views of the snow covered river bordering the west side of the lot. We've stayed in the Stratton area many times over the past several years, Dreamcatcher tops the list!

Family Reunion at Dreamcatcher
The Dreamcatcher Lodge was the 2021 choice for our annual Fall Sibling and Spouses Reunion (10 adults total). Previously, we've stayed in homes from Maine to Vermont to The Berkshires to Upstate New York. The Dreamcatcher Lodge was by far our best choice! It had every base covered for us; a spectacular setting, five bedrooms with full baths in each room, a fully-stocked kitchen with a double oven and fabulous gas stove top, a dining room that accommodated all of us comfortably at one table, a game room along with a yard with ample room for game-playing (we're a competitive bunch!), an outdoor fire pit for late night hanging out and plenty of space within the house to find a quiet place to read or just relax and catch a quick nap. Unlike most of our reunions, we stayed "on property" for the entire time we were there; a combination of COVID caution and the fact that the Dreamcatcher provided such a wonderful haven. Lastly, Jeremy and his property manager were always available, highly responsive and clearly wanted to ensure that all went right for us. We may have found a permanent home for future reunions!

Dreamcatcher Lodge is one of a kind!
Our stay at the Dreamcatcher Lodge was outstanding! The house was amazing and much better than the photos could do it justice. The location along the West river was beautiful and the sound of the water was peaceful and relaxing. The house has everything you could need for your stay and more! The attention to detail in the construction of the house and the interior decor is impeccable down to the accent lights that create an amazing ambiance. The location of the house in Jamaica, VT is close to many activities including hiking, fishing, skiing and sightseeing. I would highly recommend the Dreamcatcher Lodge to anyone looking to stay in southern Vermont!

Gorgeous house
We loved the house.it is beautiful and well maintained. But it is not air conditioned. And it was in the 90s every day hot at night too. The river is glorious although you can’t boat in it or swim. There is not really anywhere to take a nice long walk. The roads are highways not country roads. This all sounds negative, but we had a great time. Just not exactly what we expected. And it’s close to all kinds of wonderful places to swim canoe and hike.

Great for a large family get-away
Beautiful property and very clean. We had a family of 13 (from Colorado, Pennsylvania and Connecticut) who stayed for a week and it was such a perfect get away. The best equipped VRBO we've ever been in (kitchen, bathroom, fire pit etc). The sound of the river at night was soothing. As soon as the river level went down a bit (lots of recent rain), the kids had a fun afternoon playing in the river. Manager was very responsive for our few questions or the need for extra trash removal. Highly recommend.
