The home
About this home
Tucked away at the end of River Road with direct frontage on the Connecticut River, this fully furnished four-season cabin offers a private Vermont escape with the added benefit of established short-term rental history. Built in 2017, the home combines warm natural wood, modern rustic finishes, and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces that make the most of its peaceful riverside setting. Inside, the open-concept living and kitchen area features a kitchen island with seating, full-size appliances, ceramic farmhouse sinks, updated shelving, a full bath, sleeping loft, and washer and dryer. Recent improvements include a new refrigerator, updated kitchen island and TV wall, and a professionally painted exterior. Step outside to enjoy direct river access for kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. A newly added veranda with lighting provides a covered outdoor gathering space, complemented by two fire pits, Adirondack chairs, decorative lighting, outdoor storage, and newly planted apple, peach, and cherry trees. Offered fully furnished, this property is ready to enjoy as a personal retreat, second home, or potential short-term rental. The current owner has operated the cabin as an Airbnb, where it has earned a 4.86 Guest Favorite rating and generated approximately $9,500 in gross rental income during its first year on the platform. Buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding future rental use and income. Private, waterfront, furnished, and full of character, 288 River Road offers a special opportunity to enjoy life along the Connecticut River.
