Red Acre Cottage

"My daughter and I spent a weekend at Red Acre Cottage. The cottage is so cozy. We loved the wood stove. We spent both nights cooking and were pleasantly surprised to find that the kitchen had anything that we could’ve needed. We didn’t remember to bring fun things to keep us entertained but happy to find so many books, games, puzzles, and movies. We played a board game and watched a movie both nights. The beds were very comfortable and clean. During the day we went into town and had breakfast at the Rochester Cafe and Country store. The food was very good and the dirty chai was one of the best I’ve had. Spending the weekend at this beautiful cottage in a stunning location allowed my young teen and myself to reconnect and spend some quality time together. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Will definitely return."

"I loved visiting Red Acre Cottage up in Rochester VT. The house was clean, comfortable, rustic, and relaxing. Will is an amazing host with laser focus on his guests. The dry wood was stacked right outside on the porch, the cabinets were well stocked with spices, various ingredients, as well as coffee and tea. Upstairs he has high quality and comfortable beds. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few hearty meals and the wood stove close by kept the -10F cold at bay. The artwork, furniture, and décor are all well thought out, you feel right at home the second you walk in the door. While the cabin isn’t right in a busy ski town, that’s probably what makes it so special. The cabin is close enough to Killington, Sugerbush, Mad River, and even Stowe, that there are plenty of riding options; it is secluded enough to enjoy the peaceful setting of rural VT. Next time I’m up there I’m looking forward to the hiking trails and back country riding options that are literally within walking distance of the front door. Thank you Will, I'm looking forward to my next visit!"

"Sometimes you just need to get away for a while. Last summer we were feeling like that when I learned about Will’s new Vermont cottage. Our relaxing weekend stay was just what the doctor ordered. Plenty of rest and relaxation in the most sublime country setting. We found everything to be exactly as described. The cottage is homey, rustic but fully equipped with everything you need to rustle up a good country breakfast or supper. We loved walking the dirt road taking in The mountain views, sounds of songbirds the peace and quiet of the area. Everything was great and we can’t wait to go back again next summer."

"Just wrapping up an epic mid-week getaway at Red Acre Cottage! If you've ever considered heading to VT for some #roadslikethese rides, this place is a perfect base camp, and you can easily get there from Boston without a car! Throw your bike in the belly of a Dartmouth Coach bus, take it to Lebanon where you can either ride to Rochester (@40 miles) or take the Amtrak Vermonter up to Randolph which will get you 25 miles closer. The house is charming and rustic, yet it has all the modern amenities you need. Head out the front door, either north or south on the famed North Hollow Rd and take your pick of dozens of hardpack dirt and gravel forest roads, or venture out to some well groomed and maintained singletrack routes if you have a mountain bike. Stop by the Ranger Station at the bottom of Quarry Hill Rd for maps and other ride ideas or stop by Green Mountain Bicycles on Rt 100 for expert advice on local ride options from shop owner, DooN Hinderyckx. Quintessential shops, country stores, restaurants, and sugar shacks await in nearby Rochester, Hancock, Granville, and Stockbridge."

"My visit at Red Acre Cottage was outstanding. The cottage itself was neat and clean and as cute as a button which helped to make our stay feel relaxed and comfortable. We were able to just snuggle in immediately. Amenities, such as groceries, restaurants and daily necessities are close at hand. There is a wide array of things to do in the area and we availed ourselves of everything from hiking to antiquing. It was such a great experience that I'm considering purchasing a property in the area. I will be back."
