The place was great, clean, and spacious for our family. Visited with toddlers and infants and we felt really safe. the area is also very centric to a number of cities and happening towns.

Wonderful property with amazing hiking trails close by. Great place to stay if you are visiting Middlebury College.

This is truly a property that keeps on giving. We stayed in the summer, when the hiking and outdoors are great. Our dogs loved the fenced in backyard, and the location in Ripton is stupendous. Their are well-known trails throughout the National Forest, and a couple of lesser known trails within walking distance (we see you SPirit In Nature!).
The house itself is very comfortable. The kitchen is built to support a large group (two fridges!) and there are many nooks to explore and hide out. Everything was clean.
The Game Room? Don't get me started. Fun for all ages.

Convenient to Middlebury, we brought family and Godparents together to celebrate our daughter graduating from Middlebury College. The house is comfortable and spacious. Large, well-equipped kitchen. Hosts were great -- very responsive, helpful, and clear communication. This was a great find -- highly recommend.

Great house with lots of different types of sleeping spaces. Plenty of space to eat, gather, relax and play. Close to the road, but backyard space is nicely fenced.

The house is huge and beautiful! So much fun playing all the downstairs games and finding the secret room. Made s’mores on bonfire and loved the hot tub. The only negatives were close to road and when out at fire pit it could be noisy. Also the popcorn machine had popcorn pieces and kernels still in it. We weren’t using it anyway but maybe housekeeping overlooked this time. The good completely outweighs the bad this house is truly one of a kind and a great experience for families.

The house is HUGE! It is very cool with so many areas to get away from each other or areas to gather and enjoy card games, pool games or just some time outside. The hosts are excellent. On our stay the Internet was knocked out, probably a storm, and the host even showed up to coordinate with the internet company and get us WiFi again, which we needed for our jobs. What a great place and great host.

My family highly enjoyed their stay at this property during late Nov time frame. Very comfortable house, lots of room and most excellent game room. Easy check in. Many trails n waterfalls nearby, good restaurants nearby in Middlebury. My only regret is I didn’t use the hot tub this trip. Next time! I recommend property to anyone.

Our three generational family of 10 truly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful River Stone House. From the lower level game room, to a closet full of games & puzzles, to an outdoor hot tub & two indoor jacuzzis, there was plenty of space to spread out and something for everyone to do. Kitchen is adequately stocked and has two refrigerators with freezers, which we really needed. Would have been nice to have ice cube trays & a broom with dust pan.
The two sets of hot tub instructions need updating because they were conflicting & the cover was not able to be clipped as we were told to do. Additionally one set of check-in instructions said 4:00, another said 4:30.
Owner provided a welcome plate of cookies & 4 pack of ginger ale which was a nice touch. Kris was most helpful offering suggestions of places to visit & things to do in the area. All in all, a delightful vacation. Our 6 year old grandson gives the house 10,000 stars! ✨✨✨ 😊

Our group had a great time at this Ripton, VT house. It is even more beautiful than the photos. There were plenty of rooms for all of us, and everyone was very comfortable. We had fun playing in the game room, relaxing in the hot tub, sitting by the fire and under the pergola adorned with grape vines. Also enjoyed hiking across the street.

River Stone Lodge was nothing short of amazing. The owners of the lodge were quick and attentive with a small air conditioner issue upon arrival. The surrounding areas are just beautiful and we had plenty to do while staying in Ripton. The game room was the hot spot for all. Dinner's around the large dining table spent with family enjoying large meals was great. We fully enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of games to keep us busy. Thank you for the wonderful stay Kris and Ben!!

The property is great and the location very convenient to the lake, rivers and trails as well as the town of Middlebury. The new entry stairs are a big upgrade. Our only recommendation would be screens on the kitchen windows as the AC doesn’t reach that area the best and it would be nice to open those windows when it is warm. Overall, we love this property. This was our second visit here. Thanks!

Stayed for 5 nights over Memorial Day weekend. The home is even better than it looks. So much space, very comfortable, and well furnished across the board. The back yard living area was spacious and comfy. Perfect for late night star gazing or a quiet glass of wine.

A Wonderful, Unique House!
I highly recommend staying at this unique house. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and having an enclosed back yard was particularly helpful with our toddler son. There was a lot for us to explore inside, and our kids had a great time during a snowy day finding the hidden room. Lots of great hikes within a short drive of the location. Especially if you have a family with small children, this was a great stay to "get out of the city" for a while.

The house is a great getaway with lots to do. We lucked out with awesome weather so spent a lot of time outside. But plenty to do indoors as well. We played pool, fooseball, poker and a few other games. The back yard is big enough for activities as well. Overall we all had a great time here and would recommend definitely staying here.
