Cabin was decorated for the Christmas Season. And we had snow on the ground already so we had instant ambience. Our host was easy to communicate with. The check in process was key box, and that is always the best. PERFECT location for peace and quiet.
The place was so quaint and adorable decorated. The old cabin has great beds, furniture was in great condition and comfortable. Plenty of space and an easy 1 minute drive from town.
Our stay at the West River Lodge was great! The cabin is very cozy, nicely decorated and equipped with everything we needed. We cooked dinner one of the nights we were there and all we had to bring was the food…the kitchen was fully stocked with pans, dishes and flatware…even a vegetable peeler and can opener! We would definitely recommend staying here.
We had an amazing time in Londonderry, enjoying this very well-appointed cabin (with comfy beds!), private yard and fire pit, and the deck that overlooked the West River…peaceful, yet very close to necessities and a weekend farmer’s market! Patty was super responsive and we appreciated the pet-friendly accommodations! Would recommend highly for a summertime retreat!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin, it really felt like home. It was so cozy, and so well stocked with all the amenities, and beyond. The game and DVD cabinet was a big hit with our 5 year old. We also thought we left something behind and Patty went above and beyond to look for it. Patty also checked in with an email upon our arrival to make sure everything was good. Would definitely return!
West River Lodge is conveniently located close to multiple state parks that offer hiking options. Nestled in the mountains, it’s close to multiple ski resorts. It offers an authentic cabin experience, decorated with an historical touch including the wood burning stone fireplace. The kitchen is efficient and well-stocked. The serene view of the river from the deck is an extra delight, in addition to the large fire pit in the back. Manchester is a scenic 15 minute drive if you are looking for more shopping and restaurant options but the local spots are worth exploring.
The cabin was well appointed and clean with comfy sofas and beds. Interior design was quirky and fun giving it a cheery tone. Wifi was strong and stable with plenty of places to stream/work/game. Very conveniently located about 20 mins from Manchester and Ludlow right on Rt100. The convenience came with the slight price of traffic noise which I imagine is not that bad normally, but there is a ton of road reconstruction happening due to the storm so heavy equipment was frequently passing. Great supermarket just around the corner made supplying our stay a cinch. Check out Lowell Lake for a spur of the moment hike just 2 miles away. Overall a fantastic location for basing an exploration of VT.
The cabin is very cozy and in a great location. The property managers made everything very simple. We had a great stay!

cozy cabin
We had a great stay at the cabin. It was conveniently located to all the activities we had planned, and when we were at the cabin, we enjoyed relaxing by the firepit and on the deck!
Our trip was nothing short of perfect! The cabin is gorgeous! Everything you need is there or nearby. We will definitely return.

Cozy Cabin the Woods
We had a lovely stay at this cabin in Londonderry, VT. The well-appointed home was the perfect size for our family and our small dog. The cabin was conveniently located to Manchester, the Vermont Summer Festival horse show, Bromley and Stratton. We would stay here again!

Lovely country cabin; convenient location
If you're looking for a picturesque Vermont vacation home, this is your spot. It's conveniently located within a short drive of several cool Vermont towns, including Manchester. The house was well-equipped for everything we could have needed for our long weekend -- plus it was very clean and comfortable!
Communication with property owner was prompt and easy. Home was warm and welcoming. Rustic cabin ✅. Vermont charm ✅. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends and family!!

ups and downs of the cabin
the area is wonderful! nice shops and charming villages. the house has one bathroom near the kitchen. two bedrooms upstairs and quite a trip to the bathroom in the nite! the property was advertised as having an outdoor fire pit. it was one of the things that attracted us. when we got there the chairs and fire area were buried under a lot of snow. when i asked if the caretaker could uncover, the answer was no. we were disappointed about that. the kitchen was well equipped but some of the things needed to be cleaned or replaced, for example the only small saucepan had burned on food in the bottom. it was replaced after 2 days when i asked. not possible to walk at all from the house....the road is busy and no sidewalks. the living room was pretty and cozy with the wood stove and the internet worked well.

Awesome location and cottage!
The location and town is lovely. Everything you need is right down the street. Tons of awesome swimming holes and hiking/fish spots all within 20+ miles away. The cottage itself is terrific and has everything that you could need. Clean, spacious kitchen and living/dining room. Nice yard with a great firepit area. Secluded deck with a grill. Cozy bedrooms and a nice bathroom/shower. Plenty of privacy and overall great cottage and place to go for a relaxing and fun weekend getaway. 5/5 would recommend!

Peaceful get-a-way
We were delighted with the cabin. Great location, inside was decorated delightfully and very quiet inside. Although we did not use the fire-pit, it looks awesome. So many places to hike near by. If your looking for that Vermont feel vacation this is your place. ❤️

Wonderful Cabin
My friends and I absolutely adored this cabin. It’s perfectly decorated and spacious as well as clean and organized. Highly recommend.
This place was great. We were very comfortable there. We really enjoyed the location of the cabin. Perfect for little day jaunts and then we would come home and cook a nice dinner and relax. Super convenient with a great grocery store less than a .5 mile. The internet worked great. We all slept like rocks with the crisp air coming in from outside. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very, very comfortable. Everything worked. A few things that could be improved upon which are completely our personal preference. We think some new linens would be nice. Also, the pots could use an upgrade and the knives could use sharpening. While the Christmas decorations were charming, it was August....so it might have been nice to not have the Christmas trees up and the Christmas hand towels and let's just say there was a lot of Christmas. The cabin was clean, but could use a deep clean because when you had to plug something in there was a lot of dust bunnies in the corners or if you looked closely and the freezer was not the cleanest when we got there (maybe from needing to keep the compost in there?). The driveway is very steep and washed out due to recent rain storms so we were glad we had 4WD. Also - the one bathroom on the first floor is very far from the other two bedrooms that are upstairs and the stairs are steep. So that isn't the best to navigate at night. A 1/2 bath upstairs would really take this place to the next level. We were with friends who we are very close with so one bathroom was OK, but a 1/2 bath upstairs and an outdoor shower would be awesome upgrades. The most relaxing trip we have had in while. Thank you so much!
Very nice cabin in great location. Beds were comfortable and there was ample hot water and good water pressure. We would stay here again!

Wonderful cabin
This place was a charm! My kids had a blast running around the house, we went fishing on the lake, we checked the river across the street, visit some farms, country stores, etc.
Plenty of stuff to do, s’mores at night.
The house was very clean when we arrived, host provided everything we needed for our stay. All appliances were working, plenty of fire wood to burn too. We will definitely come back some time in the near future, we loved the house, enjoy Vermont in general.
