The River House Tour

Welcome to the River House. Mountain above, river below, and just imagine yourself inside!

Although it may be difficult to tell these days, the current building suffered a serious fire, in the late 1980's. We bought it a year and a half after the fire, and completely redesigned and converted into a full featured mountain resort.

The River House remains our clients favorite rental in the Green Mountains.

The entrance is on the left side of the building as you face it from Depot Street. The lock box is in the covered garage on the right side. The key you find there will open both doors to get you in. The garage door works best for loading into the ground floor of the building, the main entrance on the right gets you into the upper two floors most conveniently.

And it leads to a hallway and stair case with access to all three floors

In you go, and then up the stairs to the cathedral ceilinged living room.

The Kitchen and Dining area are all here, combined in one big Great Room, or one Great big Room, depending on your point of view.

The Living room - cozy by the fire.

The Master Bedroom - The Owners Choice.

On the top floor, the River House has a great master bedroom with a King sized bed, it's own fireplace, and windows on three sides of the room, so it's light an airy, and embracing all at the same time.

In the bedroom, a lazy overhead fan circulates the air in the exposed frame of the original 1932 cathedral ceiling, and the finished wood floors relect the fire's glow.

(this is the prior queen bed, now its a king)

If you need the additional bedding there is a fold down futon couch in this room too.

You can get away from the celebration, and read a book, or look out over the Black River, and the quaint Village of Ludlow on the other side, all of which is just a few steps away.

You also have direct access to the Master Bathroom.

Oh and before we forget it, out on the deck..

Other Items.

There is a propane fired washer and dryer in the Hallway of the second floor.

PARKING

Please note that because of it's cool location carved into the bank of the Black River the parking at the River House is limited. Up to 5 cars can be parked at the River House. We have options for addition cars, but if you can, try to pack everybody in 5 vehicles.

On the Weekend and Holiday Ski Shuttle Route in the Winter:

The weekend and holiday ski shuttle which goes directly to Okemo Mountain Base lodge passes directly in front of the house on Depot Street. Technically, the stop point is across the bridge down near Main St. opposite the Mill property. You will notice that when the shuttle is running, people tend to congregate in that area to get picked up by the shuttle. The shuttle operators have been known to stop for people directly in front of the River house and are more than willing to drop you off there at the end of the day. You will find that they and most of the people who work at the Okemo Mountain Resort are extremely helpful and very friendly.
