Unique Location
Although the stream was devastated by the Vermont floods, it was still enjoyable to relax and watch pass by. Several opportunities to explore the area for fishing and hiking. Host was very accommodating and attentive. The wood burning stove made some of best vacation breakfasts ever. Great vacation!

The sound of the river instantly relaxes the mind. The smell of the pines harmonizes the senses. The peaceful quiet of nature calms the body and spirit. Spending time with Richard feels like family.

Perfect Summer Vacation
My family absolutely loved our stay. Richard has put so much love and attention into the property. Usually on vacation, we go off on day trips and only return to have dinner and sleep. But at this property, I felt like I was missing out if I left the property! There is so much to do! We enjoyed hiking and exploring the nicely blazed trails. We picked blueberries, found newts and frogs, and played tetherball. Campfires and s’mores at night were great also. Communication with the owner was very easy. Richard was available to answer any questions and gave many good suggestions. I would definitely love to return to this beautiful cabin in the future.

This is the perfect place to get to get away from the electronics and reconnect as a family! We spent the week hiking, visiting local museums, playing board games, and enjoying camp fires. Richard was a great host and offered great recommendations on hikes and a local swimming spot. The kids enjoyed the tetherball and golf on the grounds. We had a great stay!

Quaint, comfortable, relaxing cabin in the woods by a calming mountain babbling brook.
Our stay at your mountain cabin was fantastic! It was just what we we hoping for and more. We so appreciated the quiet setting, all of the offerings of nature surrounding us, our “personal world”, the coziness amplified by the wood stoves, and the icing on the cake, the babbling mountain stream. Our only regret was that our stay came to an end too quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

My husband, sister-in-law and I had a wonderful stay at Rock Bottom cabin. Our host Richard couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. The property and grounds were absolutely beautiful. We could sit by the fire pit at night and go hiking or sit by the creek or river during the day. There were also many trails on the property. The cabin had everything that we needed. It was cozy and comfortable. I hope someday in the future we will return.

We stayed at Richards cabin for 5 glorious days!! The property was absolutely beautiful and perfect! So much exploring can be done on the land. The clearest night skies to see the stars, saw shooting stars. Richard was an amazing host, making sure we had everything we needed. We had an issue with our fridge the first night but he took care of it immediately, didn’t cause a hiccup in our vacation at all. We will definitely come back! My favorite thing was having my morning quiet time sipping coffee on the wooden swing listening to the babbling creek.

The property was clean and comfortable and the grounds are nice. Our host, Richard, couldn’t have been more kind . We were just expecting a cabin that was deeper in the woods and further away from the road.

Lisa and Len: Looking for riverfront deeper into the woods and away from the road noise is what I was looking for when I bought this place in 2000. Those sites are rare ----- but I have run into 2 areas that might interest you. (1) Rt 113 in N Chatham, NH going thru the White Mtn Nat'l Forest is absolutely gorgeous. It's worth the trip ----- the Cold River runs along the road. There's no winter maintenance, so visit it in the fall. (2) Between Woodsville and Bath, NH there's a dirt road on the back side of the Ammonoosuc River. You access it from the Bath covered bridge. There are camps and seasonal homes along the road. US Rt 302 runs along the front side of the river, but the dirt road and river cut away from Rt 302 in several places ----- thus minimal road noise. If you are looking to buy, rent, or camp come on up and check these areas out. Richard J

He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay - including allowing us to check in early so we could leave home before the bad weather hit CT.

You may not ever need to leave the property. Swim in the stream, hike to the top of the mountain, or practice your putting game on the green. Catch frogs and newts in the pond. Or just sit in the shade and read a book by the wildflowers. Richard was possibly the kindest and most helpful host we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He even gave us a guided hike and answered all six thousand questions my nine year old asked about the local flora and fauna.

pretty good place to stay
We found the house to be comfortably furnished and the entertainment choices plentiful. The grounds were a cross between cabin in the woods and expansive grounds to wander and explore. Although there are a plethora of cooking appliances, you should be prepared for the wood burning cook stove. We found only two cons: the water pressure is extremely low. My wife has very thick hair and found it difficult to rinse. Also, the transition from upstairs to downstairs is very difficult as there are no railings on the second floor and the upper landing is under the hip roof. Richard is an affable host and is justifiably proud of the environment he has created. He offers a friendly wave while passing by on his traffic and always ready with interesting facts about the property if you stop to talk.

Water pressure is lower that "city water" as the system is gravity fed and provides a reliable stream of spring water even when the electricity is down ---- power outages are common here.

Our family (two kids, 6 and 10) spent a few days in this incredible spot. The house was perfect, clean, and included everything we needed for our stay. The grounds were beautiful, well kept, and quiet. We spent the days playing in the river, hiking in the woods, checking out the critters in the pond, foraging, and reading. The host, Richard, was just as amazing as the property- so personable and a genuine pleasure to talk to. It was a vacation well spent- we are already planning a return trip!

Peaceful vacation far from it all
When we arrived, everything was there waiting for us. The beautiful loan in front of the cabin lead us to the front porch, dry logs were ready to start the fire. Robins and Blue Jays kept us company almost all the time. The stream murmured quietly nearby. For us, New Yorkers, it was like visiting different world. Serene, green and far from it all. The wood stove brought back memories from our childhood, when cooked food kept it’s temperature for long time and the smoky aromas didn’t allow to forget many special flavors. The owner, Richard, one of the most pleasant hosts we’ve ever met, occasionally visited us to see if we need more wood or anything at all. It was certainly helpful and above all, his visits were very informative. His advices helped us to visit interesting places in the area and to locate special books in his library. Finally, advice for our fellow travelers: it is a cabin in the woods surrounded with nature, so it is good to expect exactly that. Wood stove and cast iron fire place add to the charm of the cabin. For some visitors, keeping the fire on may prove to be challenging, so make sure you are up to the challenge. We’ll certainly cherish the memories of our quiet time in Vershire Vermont and if time permits, we’d gladly stay at Richard’s cabin again.

Lovely cabin, and bigger than I was expecting. Using the old wood stove was an adventure, but Richard left clear enough instructions that we were able to cook a couple of meals. There's a fully stocked kitchen and a diverse VHS selection, and a DVD player.

Relaxing In-state getaway!
We were looking for a low-key, relaxing place to stay within Vermont and this was definitely it! Walks in the woods, meandering strolls down the river, and hitting some balls on the driving range were just what the doctor ordered. Cooked dinner and breakfast on the wood-fired cookstove and loved it. Richard was a fantastic host and checked in with us as needed. He’s done an amazing job of creating a beautiful piece of property. We’ll definitely be back, especially because we got engaged while there!

Lovely spot
The cabin was clean and quiet. Had a microwave and kettle, we brought a French press and enjoyed our coffees and breakfasts outside. While the kitchen is not a traditional oven and stove top, we found cooking on the hot plate and grill super easy and delicious. Water pressure and heat were great in the shower, air flowed in the cabin and kept us cool. WiFi was strong enough for me to Zoom in to summer school. The stream was great for sitting and relaxing, and the view of the stars from the meadow bench was breathtaking. Great spot for a little break and a lot of fresh air.
