About this property

Cozy Home near White Mountains along Northern Vermont/New Hampshire border

This cozy 4 bedroom 2 bath home sits atop a hill on 3 acres in the quiet village of Wells River, VT (population ~500) along the New Hampshire border and part of the Northern Kingdom area of Vermont. Surrounded by nature and the Connecticut River, you'll quickly find the home and the area relaxing. This is a perfect location for those looking to enjoy fall foliage season in the fall, as well as fresh water activities in the summer, and snow activities in the winter.


We recently renovated this 2 story home which was built in the 1920's. The home features and updated kitchen with brand new appliances, granite counter tops, and hardwood floors throughout. The rest of the main floor includes a formal dining area and 2 living rooms with televisions and with chimneys that open up to a screened in porch which is perfect for enjoying nature while sipping coffee or wine. Also on the main floor are 2 bedrooms each with queen size beds and 1 full bath.

Upstairs there are 2 additional bedrooms with the first having a twin trundle bed which can be used as 2 twin beds or put together to make a king size bed. Down the hall, there's an additional bedroom with a queen size bed and another 1 full bathroom.

Each bathroom has claw foot tubs that were original the home and perfect for soaking. If you're not into baths, no worries, the tubs also include a stand-up shower or hose off the kids out front!

In the basement, there is a washer and dryer, and renters have access to equipment such as tubes, tents, and sports equipment.

Outside enjoy the fire pit, tree swings, picnic table, or play a game of badminton. For those looking to enjoy nature even more, feel free to use the air mattresses and sleep on the porch or set up the tent anywhere on the 3 acre property.

On a typical day, you'll see chipmunks, a variety of birds, and deer on the property. Occasionally, you may spy a fox or moose as well.

Nice quiet stay
House was very spacious and safe with a large yard for kids to play. Kitchen had plenty of dinnerware, cookware, and even some cooking oils and spices. A small amount of basic consumables (toilet paper, coffee pods, hand soap) were supplied. The furniture was a bit old, and the house could use some deeper cleaning (windows etc), but overall it was a nice stay.

wedding weekend
Friends were getting married in Groton VT Labor Day weekend, so a group of us rented the house to have plenty of space to get ready beforehand and to relax afterwards. The house is comfortable and roomy and there is plenty of parking. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary items. The screened front porch and around the firepit were fave hangout spots. There is a WalMart nearby (in NH) for quick trips to get supplies. A few notes: Extra sheets and blankets were hard to find. The clawfoot tubs are lovely but the plugs were not useful if you wanted a bath. The full TV/remote control instructions are only in the welcome packet in the kitchen -- would be useful to have them with each TV as well.

Great Location / Needs Updating and Decluttering
Great location if you're stay in this part of Vermont/ New Hampshire. The town itself has limited food and retail options. I'd opt for accommodations in nearby Littleton, NH if you prefer to eat out. The kitchen was up-to-date but the rest of the house has old appliances, an abundance of personal items, creaky beds, small showers, and furniture draped in blankets. Instead of the charming country house vibe I expected, it feels cluttered. There are countless delicate personal items spread around the dining and living areas. Bedrooms lack side tables, reading lamps, and updated bedding. The sheets and pillows were quite old. Despite my critiques, it's clear that the hosts care deeply about this house and its history. It's full of their memories and they treat it like a museum. Perhaps they should think more about the guest experience. That being said there are limited options in this area so upgrades may not be worth their investment and for many travelers the price is right.

The property was very nice and clean. The driveway and stairs into the house were icy and there wasn't any salt or sand to put down. all the applications are new and good working order. The family would like to rent the house again in the summer.

Wells River house
This is a wonderful rental! a quaint antique house that is nonetheless perfectly equipped for modern living. The updated kitchen has plenty of storage and counter space, which makes it easy to prepare food for large groups. The beds are comfortable, and the house is set up so that a large group can gather together, or sit in small groups in two living rooms, a dining room and the kitchen as well as the AMAZING screened porch. We spent a lot of time outside around the fire pit, or playing in the huge yard. The house is on a very winding, narrow road, and drivers have to be very careful coming and going, but there is very little travel on the road, so we never had a problem. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants peace, quiet, and LOTS of space to play!

Had a great time here but…
The location of this property was perfect. It was a beautifully kept property, and it was an easy walk to a great sandy beach on the Connecticut river. Stores and restaurants were close by, but the property still felt private and secluded. We enjoyed several evenings around the fire pit. There are some things I think renters should know before they go, however. There is a Keurig coffee maker, but no coffee K-cups were provided. Also, we were a party of six people staying for a week and there was only one spare roll of toilet paper supplied for each bathroom. There was not an extra roll of paper towels either. There was one partial roll of paper towels provided in the kitchen but no spares. I can understand that the owners might not want to supply these essentials, but what seemed especially odd was that there was not a single extra trash bag for the trash can. We were supplied one small kitchen sized trash bag….. for six people… for a week. I found this particularly bizarre. We purchased extra toilet paper and a box of garbage bags and left them to help out the next guests, but it seems odd that we had to that. The kitchen cabinets were also very cluttered and disorganized, but we were able to find things that we needed to cook meals. We did enjoy our time here very much, but I do feel that the house could be much better set up for guests. All that said, I would rent here again because of the location and the property.

Quiet but close to everything
Gorgeous home, lots of space to spread out both inside and out! Plenty of charming New England touches with modern upgrades. The screened in porch and fire pit were our favorite spots. We also checked out Big Eddy for swimming ten minutes away and took a lovely half hour drive to Boulder Lake in Groton where we rented kayaks and enjoyed a beach day. Restaurants, grocery store, Wal-Mart and delicious ice cream all within a ten minute drive, yet the house is off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood. Path to river is about a quarter mile, located down the street from the house. So grateful to have spent time in this beautiful home.

My family and I went on a weekend getaway and this house was perfect. Easy to get to, spacious, and it's located on beautiful property that is perfectly secluded and yet 5 minutes from anything you need!

About the host

Hosted by Allison

Host profile image
This was my grandparent's home when they retired in the 1970's. I remember going up there as a child to visit and feeling a sense of magic and charm with the home and nature. I purchased the home in January 2012 and have renovated it to bring out it's beauty once again.

Why they chose this property

The home and area are very charming and bring you back to the sense of simpler times. With the many rivers, mountains, trees, and nature all around, it's easy to sit back and enjoy. I'm also the adventurous type and found the home perfectly located to access nature's adventures like river tubing, swimming, and hiking, as well as being close to more modern adventures like zip lining, atv riding, and amusement parks. Coming from the south? Stop at Queechee Gorge just 45 minutes south to see amazing views, stock up on Cabot Cheese, feed the alpacas and much more.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the home all year round with swimming and other fun summer activities, foliage viewing during the fall, skiing and ice skating in the winter, and flowers blooming in the spring.
