2 Bedroom House in East Hardwick

This historic house was built around 1881 and has served the community first as a Clock and Jewelry shop, then as the Post Office, and more recently as a private vacation home. It has undergone over a year of restoration work for us to offer it to you as a vacation spot. It has an enviable deck overlooking the Lamoille River and is only a 3-minute walk to the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. It is in the center of the Village of East Hardwick, a small rural community in the North East Kingdom of Vermont. In the 1880s this part of the village housed several mills. The Grist and Lumber Mill that stood on this site have been torn down and this is the last remaining structure that sits on the banks of what was the old mill pond.
In 2023 , after being open about a year , we were forced to close due to the river bank erosion that undermined our foundation. On Sept, 10, 2025 the work was completed to restore the river bank and we poured a new foundation encasing the original. We are now reopening, better than ever and good for another 100 years!

This beautiful part of Vermont is known for its rural nature. Enjoy it in any season whether to catch some spring sugaring, fish in the Lamoille for trout, enjoy other summer fun on the lakes and rivers, marvel at our fall foliage, or enjoy all the winter sports that the area has to offer. We are in a great central location for it all.
In 2022-2023 we poured our hearts into saving this deteriorated building with a major renovation. It has a new half bath upstairs, new stair rails, new kitchen, and a renovated downstairs bath. Our renovations bring you an updated kitchen with a new floor and cabinetry, a ten cu ft refrigerator, a combination microwave/ airfryer/ convection unit, an apartment-sized dishwasher, and a countertop conduction two-burner stovetop.
Please Note: The stairs to the bedrooms are only 22 inches wide and steep and may not be suitable for young kids or those with physical limitations. The house sits close to the road and the snowmobile trail passes right by it. Though it is on a town road and not heavily traveled you should expect some road noise. You cannot access the river for fishing or wading directly from the property due to the steep bank, but we welcome you to come to our property just across the street to get down to the Lamoille River.
LVRT Bikers: If you are overnighting and arriving by bike we will offer a simple breakfast option. We are rail trail ambassadors and will support you in your journey however we can.
We live directly across the street so we are right here to assist with any needs you might have. Just ask!

Summary: You can tell someone took the time to put this place together. The decorating and items you would need are all done at this property. The only reason we did not give this property a 5 star rating was the shower. The shower curtain doesn't go all the way around the tub so water was hitting the wall and floor. The water pressure was great as was the temperature. We did not run out with 4 back to back showers. Will definitely consider for our next trip to the rail trai.

Summary: Great property in an idyllic setting literally on the bank of the river . Clean and cosy with an amazing history. Fantastic communication with owners.

Summary: The photos are very appealing, but this little house is even more delightful when you're actually there. The well-equipped kitchen, fantastic deck overlooking the river, large and diverse selection of books, comfy bed, and the beauty of the river all contributed to our enjoyment of the place, as did the warmth of our hosts, Gail and David. Access to the beautiful bike trail is just up the road. If you stay, be sure to look through the "house book" -- it's full of ideas and information about local sights, activities, places to eat, and more.

Summary: We went away to decompress from the busyness of our life. This is amazing for that house is right on the water it's cozy it's quaint, the bed was comfortable the couch was comfortable. It's a great location to settle your brain your heart and your soul. It is so peaceful and quiet just what we needed. The host was very communicative I had a couple of questions and she answered immediately which I appreciated. She greeted us with a nice little bouquet of flowers from the area garden. It was such a pleasure to stay here we're already booking again in the future we just have to find a date that we want to get away again. The hosts a generous and kind the place is clean immaculate a lot of old country charm in this home. If I could say there was anything wrong with this place it would be hard to find something that was wrong. I highly highly highly recommend this place but anybody who wants to decompress. If you're looking for a lot of excitement not necessarily this place but this is perfect to just reconnect with somebody you love. Or decompress from the busyness of our world. Perfect location for all of that.

Summary: My wife and I recently stayed at the newly renovated River House in East Hardwick, VT, and found it to be lovely and quite memorable. This historic property has been restored at its stunning original location. The house sits just beside a bridge on the bank of the Lamoille River. The deck back patio/deck provides a stunning view of the river below. The interior of the River House is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. Everything you need for your stay can be found right here. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The shelves in the living area were stocked with books, puzzles and games for all ages. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners our first night, and we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They provided excellent recommendations for nearby attractions, gave us the 411 on local culture, and directed us the nearest shops for picking up last minute supplies. The River House is a hidden gem that seamlessly combines history, charm, and modern comforts. The beautiful location, exceptional service, and attention to detail make it a top choice for anyone seeking a memorable getaway in North Western Vermont.

Summary: This 1880 house is a gem. It is tiny but very well layed out to feel spacious. The narrow stair were no problem for a 6 feet 350pound man to go up and down. The owners were super nice and helpful. The river runs back of the house. East Harwich is a quiet town. Only down fall is there is no Air Condition. It got a little warm at night. I would stay there again
