We had a great stay at Brigitte's house! Location was great, house was clean and spacious, and the river was very scenic. Would love to come back some time!

We had a beautiful stay on the Battenkill with a stunning river and the coziest home base to explore the valley and the green mountains. Brigitte was extremely helpful and easy to connect to and joy to communicate with. We already wish we were back!

Large home , sprawling property. Lovely stay overall.

Beautiful waterfront

Brigette was wonderful to communicate with and the property is very comfortable and relaxing. Sitting by the fire or river is so rejuvenating. Tubing and kayaking on the Battenkill was so fun. Fishing from the property was also good! Thanks Brigette

We had a brilliant stay in this delightful VT farmhouse, which is completely up to date, and absolutely stunning. Super clean, fantastic decor, great and everything needed-in-kitchen, even a washer/dryer! Brigitte is quick to respond and delightful. PS...great fishing and relaxing under the willows right on the Battenkill River...

Bridgette was a wonderful host, the house was very spacious for our family, very beautiful lush outside overlooking the BattenKill River, very private setting. We had a wonderful time and I would rent again. Just a few things i would like to share, in summer its hot, it maybe helpful to have extra fans downstairs, the downstairs was hot, but we bought fans and it cooled it off nicely, also it would be helpful in the bathrooms to have toilet cleaner, for toilets, and some exta toiletries, toilet paper, shampoo ext. but those were very minor things, Thank you Bridgette we had a wonderful time

Excellent location, beautiful home, kind owner. I won't forget my stay on the Batten Kill, and look forward to my next visit.

We had a wonderful week in Southern Vermont. Brigitte's house had plenty of space for our family of 4 and our dog. The yard on the Battenkill river was amazing, we used the 2 kayaks all week. And even when the weather was not optimal, we stayed on the nice covered porch. Brigite was very easy to work with. Would definitely return.

This property is immersed in some of the most beautiful nature in the world with the legendary Battenkill river whishing through the back yard and singing you to sleep each night...! We loved our long weekend, and Brigitte was gracious, informative, and always available. We're already planning our next visit to take up where we left off! Miles & Sandy Cunningham

The house fit my family perfectly. It was a great experience. Manchester is a great town about 9 miles away with great restaurants. Skiing was not too far away either. Looks like a lot to do in summer there also. Brigitte was great as well. Very cute home. We had a great time.

The house is an old, quaint home. We had a very relaxing time there. We did several hikes in The Equinox Preserve. Manchester is by the preserve, so we did stroll past the stores and outlets. The house's location is perfect. Just a few little things- little like I said. There wasn't any shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. The TV in the sitting room (the only one) was only 32 inches. Definitely a shortcoming if you plan on watching TV. We did cook while we were there. There are plenty of pots and pans, which was perfect. The nearest supermarket we found was Shaws, and thats about 5/6 miles away in Manchester. Nice supermarket. All in all I would recommend this quaint home. Also as a final note, Brigitte is wonderful to deal with. She said we could check in early- which we didn't, and check out later than 10am- which we did. Thak you Brigitte!

This is a well-located historic property right along the Housatonic River. The owner, Brigitte, does everything possible to make things comfy. It’s an excellent choice!

We absolutely loved our Vermont stay in this beautiful house! Brigitte is an excellent host who communicated everything very thoroughly and makes you feel very welcome. The house was perfect for a cozy fall getaway with the family. The location is perfect, being right on the river and close to so many beautiful nature activities. We will definitely stay again! SO many wonderful family memories made at Brigitte's special place.

Even though this property was older, the antiques, paintings,colorful walls and a modern kitchen made our stay unique and enjoyable. Great nearby eateries and historical attractions in Manchester.

Great house and location. Great fishing in the back yard. Wake up at 5:30am and fish until breakfast! Wading and fly equipment is best. Some things to do in Arlington but also nearby. Lye Brook waterfall trail. Shaftsbury lake, Orvis, everything in Manchester. Relaxing zzzzzzzzzz

The house and surrounding environment are truly beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Lots to do: hiking, kayaking and swimming etc. The attractive town of Manchester is also close by. Brigitte was attentive to our needs and concerns.

Lovely property large enough to have quiet time away from family members and still enjoy river views.

The backyard is beautiful! Lots of grass that goes right to the river. There are chairs and tables to relax in and take in the beauty of the river. Fly fishing and floating on the river was spectacular. We enjoyed the local food and gift shops as well as trips into Manchester.

Stayed a few days over July 4th holiday. Easy check in, no issues. It’s an older house in a really small town. Close to Manchester which has plenty of shopping, restaurants, etc. Nice location on battenkill river. It is right next to a somewhat busy road, but not overly noisy. Kitchen was a little under stocked. Would be nice to have a few staples available (cooking oil, sugar, etc). Plenty of dishes and silverware. Easy checkout.

The location of the house is amazing! The property owner was very responsive to text messages and provided a wealth of information about the local area and contacts ahead of our stay. This was an excellent VRBO for our family's vacation.

This was a very nice old farm house with old antique pieces around the house. It has all you need! It is very close to a busy street but we were away from it as the doors and porches are all in the back of the house. The yard and river are very private despite the road where a bridge runs over the river near the front of the house. Right across there is a dog park, swimming hole, gold, baseball park, tennis court, and walking trail. There are many benches throughout the park. We brought tubes but the current took us down so far we stopped and walked the land back because we didn't know how far until there was a spot to get out. I'm sure if we went further there would be a spt near a road to get out. We brought out 2 large dogs as well! But we had them on long leads to swim and play because they will try to cross the street otherwise. They had so much fun! There is a fire pit but bring your own wood. In the master bedroom you can keep the deck door open with screen closed to hear the river while sleeping. We grilled our own food we brought, and made our own breakfast. We went to the West Mountain Inn for Wednesday music and all you can eat pizza and salad outdoors, and the Arlington Inn which was great but small portions for the price. Dairy bar has ice cream and food as well but also expensive. We bought our ice cream at the Stewarts which is also very close Lovely stay overall!!

Property is as advertised. Great location along river. Owner very helpful and responsive. If you fish its a great place to have a dinner along the river and fish a nice stretch of the river.

My wife and I had a fabulous stay in Arlington at Brigitte's place. Her house is beautiful with all all kinds of curious items big and small. All of the little touches that she's added to the house are simply magnificent. There are conversation pieces everywhere including a rooster watering can, red lit art deco metal flowers, marvelous paintings on the walls, live plants, books galore, artsy rugs, a grand old organ, and much more. And it's right on the river! One thing we appreciated about Brigitte was that she seemed to be invested in us enjoying her place. Unlike my previous rather anonymous dealings with owners, she was personal, even calling me the phone before I left to tell me about all the options for things to do. The most telling thing is that she called me while we were there to tell me that a snowstorm was forecast for the area right before, and during, the time we had planned to leave. She offered to let us stay an extra day for free because she didn't think it was wise to drive through a storm. She also said that it would be fun to be stuck there on a snowy day. She was so right about that!

We enjoyed our stay very much! The home is comfortable and full of eclectic charm - exactly what you would imagine for a weekend in Vermont. The location is lovely, right on the Battenkill River in a quiet neighborhood. Arlington is a short ride to Manchester for restaurants and shops, and there’s plenty of hiking trails nearby. Brigitte is a responsive host and provided an information sheet with tips about the area. We definitely recommend this home and would gladly stay again.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this property and Brigitte! The property itself is absolutely stunning, the house is so comfortable and lovely, and Brigitte went out of her way to accommodate us at the very last minute with the utmost kindness and care. The house has every amenity you could need for a short or long term stay. It's so close to many hikes, scenic areas, and gorgeous shops. We can't wait to stay again soon!

I had a wonderful time at this house with my wife and infant son. The location is incredible, with views of the Battenkill River, a short walk into Arlington and a short drive to Manchester. The house was decorated in a pleasing and interesting way, with a mix of antique and mid century modern styles and some nice art. We loved the wood burning stove and the master bed and bedroom were large and comfortable. My only gripe was the lack of hot water - 10-15 minute showers max - but the host made that very clear upfront.

We stayed in this 1850s farmhouse for 6 days during Thanksgiving week. The property is right on the Battenkill — one of the most beautiful rivers in VT. You can hear the soothing ripples walking along the willow-lined banks right there. Across the river cows roamed and a rooster crowed; it was a perfect bucolic place to escape to. The house was big and rambling, with polished wooden floors, comfortable beds, and everything you need right at hand. I took a 15-minute shower and there was plenty of hot water and the water-pressure was good. (If all you want is 30-minute showers you can always stay in a sterile beige hotel room.) Everywhere you look there are thoughtful and beautiful touches: French and Hawaiian art, stained glass, antiques, lots of books (and helpful info about the area). It’s gorgeously decorated. We Loved it and hope to go back. A+++ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Brigitte is wonderful to communicate with, she was always available to answer questions despite the significant time difference. Her home is very old with many lovely features. I know it is a continuous work in progress! Russ and I enjoyed sitting by the water, and our bonfire the last night we were there. We ate out for all of our meals. The Public House was our favorite!! The covered bridge was a sweet place to spend a little time. The Sugar Shack in Manchester was a place I could have spent hours reading about Norman Rockwell and his artistry. They also have fantastic cookies with maple icing!. Before we left we were both emotional as we stood at the watersedge in your yard, reflecting back on our days there celebrating our 35 wedding anniversary. It is one we with hold dearly.

Stream-side cottage is in great location to explore Manchester and other places in southern Vermont. The house is a bit eclectic, but comfortable.

House is very old & outdated & in need of updates inside & out. Shower is not good. Plants around porch need cleanup, very unsightly. Bed situation needs improvement. No electric outlet in master. Would not rent again.

The house looks exactly as on the pictures The host Brigitte was very helpful in providing local info and going through instructions.
