About this bed and breakfast
River House has beautiful views of the Winooski Falls and is part of Burlington's historic mill neighborhood. It's a 10 minute walk to the Winooski Circle which is full of restaurants and activity. Downtown Burlington and Lake Champlain are a 10 min drive away. This unique, arty, brand new loft space includes hardwood floors, a small kitchen and bath, and a shared outdoor space. River House is a good fit for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.
The space
River House was built in the summer of 2017 with its historic mill neighborhood in mind. The original house dates back to the 1890s and you'll see many historic details in the house such as photos, maps and books. There are funky, arty touches around the house including large paintings and some smaller works by local artists. The house is stocked with all the comforts of home and we hope your stay here will be restful and that you will get a chance to explore the neighborhood. River House is permitted and inspected by the city of Burlington.
Burlington, VT, United States
This is a unique historic neighborhood and the river twists through it. Down the street is the Chace Mill which has a vegan cafe and yoga studio. Across the river is the Champlain Mill which has an outdoor restaurant in the summer and further down the river by the dam is the Woolen Mills. And of course, the Winooski Circle has many restaurants to try and is only a 10 minute walk away.
We are centrally located and a quick drive/walk to Winooski, the UVM Medical Center, UVM, the Burlington International Airport and downtown Burlington. There are nearby walking trails on the Winooski River Walk, Casavant Natural Area and Centennial Woods. There is tons to do here, come visit!
Getting around
There are nearby bus routes and ample street parking if you have more than one car.
Please note:
The guest house is entirely private and is attached to our single family home. We share a backyard and we might cross paths in the foyer outside your front entrance.
We have two outdoor security cameras for our guests safety and ours. They are clearly visible near the entrance to River House and above the shared driveway. There are no cameras inside!
Please be aware that there is some traffic and airplane noise, as well as the very loud F-35 jets. We live in a busy part of town but River House is a little oasis.

The property was pristine & Eva was a wonderful host, always offering to help. Winooski was a very short walk over a river bridge & Burlington was a short drive away, both interesting places in their own way to explore.

Charming, thoughtfully appointed place in a terrific location. The owner has done a wonderful job of giving guests a real sense of place, and the homemade granola's good too!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverwalk. It was clean and had everything we could possibly need and more. It was such a relaxing stay and Eva was the best host. We will definitely be staying at Riverwalk again!

We chose this property on a whim with no real knowledge of Winooski, only that we needed a close "home base" for daily travels to Burlington and St. Micheal's College. This tiny house proved to be all that and then some. The location, the caring host, and the well maintained, welcoming building allowed for us to stay relaxed through all kinds of weather. Winooski center was a great surprise to us both, definitely something to experience when staying at this property. If we are in the area, we will certainly stay here again!

This tiny home was truly a tiny retreat. The property was lovely and all amenities were provided. Convenient to both downtown Burlingron and Winooski. Though I stayed alone, the unit could certainly manage 2-3 people.

My days at the River House were delightful! Being my first stay in a Tiny, I thought it might feel small, but not at all! Soaring ceilings, natural light, and magnificent art work give an unparalleled sense of comfort.
And Eva goes above and beyond- she thought of EVERYTHING!!! From a supply of cough drops to homemade granola to VT chocolates, you will want for nothing!
I hope to make it a longer stay next time!

The Riverhouse is most certainly a cozier option than a hotel room when we visit our daughter at college. The tiny home is adorned with EVERY amenity that you could possibly need. The home is small and efficient yet also spacious enough for our family of four to have dinner and spend time together. We will definitely check this listing first when we need a place to crash for weekend visits.

Eva’s tiny home is the most outstanding spot for a weekend in Vermont. She is thoughtful with every aspect of the home and provides anything we might need. It was the perfect size for us. We absolutely loved our stay. Anyone would be lucky to spend time in this tiny home!!

My wife and I stayed here 11/10-11/12/2023 and wow is it great! I have stayed in numerous VRBO properties over the years and I can honestly say that this is one of the best!! Eva is a great host who provided perfect communication throughout the process and was good enough to make up the couch as a bed so our daughter (21) could stay with us. And the tiny house is SOOO fantastic!! Fresh granola and milk and yogurt--all kinds of coffee, etc...TV has Netflix and other channels, beds are comfy, shower pressure is great, maps and artwork are so cool, parking spot right outside the gate, I could type for hours...We've been visiting our daughter at UVM for 3+ years and staying in hotels and I really wish we found this place sooner!! And Eva, that is THE MOST detailed house book I have EVER seen!! LOL 10/10 stars!! Stay here--you won't be disappointed!

Our stay was perfect. This tiny house had everything we needed. Our son got married this weekend and our entire stay was simply lovely. Thank you.

This is definitely one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in! Eva was very communicative and hospitable. We were super impressed with the comprehensive guide book and Eva’s hospitality! The tiny home is so adorable, the location is amazing, and it had everything we needed during our stay. Additionally, when we left, I accidentally left some toiletries behind and Eva was kind enough to let me know and leave them on the porch for me to swing by and grab. I truly cannot recommend this place enough!
While staying, we hit up Mule Bar, Sneakers, and Four Quarters Brewing in Winooski. We loved Mule Bar so much we actually went there twice! We also checked out the waterfront park in downtown Burlington, Foam Brewers, Zero Gravity Brewing, Queen City Brewery, and Vermont Pub & Brewery. We highly recommend Mule Bar and Four Quarters!

The River House is exactly the cozy, quaint, comfy, relaxing tiny house that we had hoped for! Eva & Sophie have everything you could ever need, special touches throughout & constant conversation. Love the chair hammock, homemade granola, local yogurt, wildflowers, books and testimonies to read and of course the kitties and chickens to watch & admire! Had an amazing dinner at the Waterworks and walked the Winooski Circle. Highly recommend The River House for your visit to Vermont!

We loved everything about our stay at River House. The quirky spot is in a perfect location for walking all around the area, and it is so thoughtfully stocked with anything you might need but forgot to pack. Eva also has a binder with fantastic suggestions of things to do and places to see - we loved our visit to Shelburn Farms. It was our first visit to the area but not our last. Such a great stay and host. Thank you!

This place was so wonderful. It has everything from comfortable beds to beautiful gardens.
Eva has thought of everything to make your stay so comfortable.
We even got to listen to a couple of albums on the record player!
This is the place to stay if you’re going to Burlington.

Everything about this stay and experience was EXCEPTIONAL. The space, gardens and neighborhood where all charming, relaxing and comfortable. Eva, the host, has thought of everything. Every detail is beautiful, thoughtful and creative. It’s at the center of everything and Eva has pulled together a detailed guidebook to help locate and navigate something for everyone. The visit to Burlington for my daughter’s graduation from UVM was extra special thanks to Eva. She is the perfect model for how to operate the perfect home away from home.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights for parent’s weekend. This place is such a great spot, very cute with all the amenities you need! Perfect location to walk to downtown Winooski as well! We will definitely be back! Thank you Eva for everything!

This River house only enhanced our trip to VT. It was charming, cozy, and has everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this place! It’s about a 7-10 minute drive to downtown Burlington and easily accessible. The host was very communicative and had everything we could need for our stay!

What a sweet, lovely space! Even better than the pictures show. The garden is lush, with sweet friends to admire (cats and chickens). The house was neat and clean and filled with art that made it feel like we were visiting a friend. Can't wait to reserve it again in the future.

The River House is located on a quiet street a few minutes drive from downtown Burlington. The place was very well stocked with everything we could possibly need, had outdoor space for relaxing, and a comfortable bed. It was a great launching point for a few days in Vermont!

Amazingly well-organized VRBO. Great location with a beautiful garden setting. An immaculate and meticulously well-organized tiny house. Everything was excellent--clear instructions, lots of suggestions, maps and literature about the local area. Beautifully decorated and appointed. Highly recommended.

Wonderful
We stayed 6 nights visiting friends and family. This was one of the cleanest places with vrbo we have stayed. There was only a fresh air clean smell rather than cleaner or fragrance type odors.
The photos online are exactly how the house is except more flowers are outside.
The bed upstairs made the small house more comfortable. Eva did a wonderful job ensuring all the necessary supplies were stocked. The busy neighborhood didn't bother us. Located near an airport but only heard planes during the day. We would certainly stay here again.

Perfect Spot
We were up for a wedding and this couldn’t have been a more perfect alternative to area hotels.
The space is great, we’ll thought out and comfy.
Just the right size.
But the location near the river, and Winooski’s city center makes this ideal.
We walked to coffee, breakfast, and the little nightlife scene on the main drag over the river.
Eva is a champ.
She has a good tjhing going there and I highly recommend this spot!!

Eva was an amazing host, with a gorgeous property. I felt physically and spiritually at home and it is clear Eva has put a lot of love in this space. Perfect location, perfectly accommodating, and the personality of a friend you’ve felt you’ve known a while. Can’t recommend this more and look forward to a return visit. Almost want to make a trip just to chill in this beatific garden. Wish I could give more than five stars.

Great location, cozy space
The property was super cute and cozy, creating a perfect getaway. The space was clean and Eva had everything you could possibly need at your disposal. It made us feel at home and ready to relax. The location was great for food and drinks within walking distance, as well as great scenery with the falls/river a stones throw away. Eva was so easy to communicate with and was quick to respond with any questions. You will not be disappointed!

Great place to stay - property inside and out is fabulous. Location is convenient and close to many interesting places to eat, drink and walk. Communication with Eva and check-in were easy. Really appreciated many little touches and a very complete guide with great recommendations with things to do in the area. Would stay here again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Eva's property is simply idyllic. The beautiful gardens welcome you as you walk through the gate of the River House. The interior of the property is absolutely beautiful and well decorated. Eva had everything we needed and more. She provided wonderful information on the surrounding area and the best activities to do and places to eat. I would highly recommend the River House to anyone looking to spend time in Burlington. Eva is a fantastic host!

Wonderful long weekend in Winooski despite the heat
This place is as advertised - a really well-located tiny house. As expected, floor space is a little limited, but we were still able to be comfortable with our 6 month old and all her gear. While we stayed, the weather was high-80s and humid every day. The air conditioner in the unit kept up with the temperature quite well, but struggled a bit with the humidity if we were there. (If we left it running on low while going out, it did dry things out enough to be comfortable when we returned.)
The backyard garden was very pleasant on the one cool night we had there.
Winooski circle and the restaurants and brewery that ring it are very walkable, as are several parks and trails.
Eva was an excellent host - she made sure we had everything we needed and then some.
