Our Story

Built in 1864 as a formal country home for a prominent doctor, George E. E. Sparhawk, The Cobble House has retained most of its period details. Its soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows give a feeling of spacious luxury and let in both light and nature. With a unique variety of both large, open areas and small intimate spaces, it offers you and your guests the options of lounging alone with a great book or having an impromptu cocktail party with friends. We have brought in modern European design sensibility and all the updates necessary for maximum comfort.

The Owner, Kevin Travis, was raised in Texas but fell in love with Vermont spending summers here as a child. He bought his first house here in 2001 and has never lost touch with his Vermont world. The Cobble House has been Kevin’s neighbor for 23 years, so when it closed its doors as a bed-and-breakfast, he wanted to make sure the house lived on.

Kevin has lived and worked in many cities, including Boston, London, Johannesburg, and most recently New York City, before settling full time in Vermont. He has restored The Cobble House with a 21st Century update influenced by his international travels and with the express purpose of sharing it and the best of Vermont with guests.

So, he invites you to make the most of The Cobble House experience.  Enjoy the relaxed luxury of this four season house. Meander through our 7.5 acres of woodland on one of our private walking trails. Lounge on the viewing deck over the White River or continue down to 300 feet of private riverfront for a dip or great fly fishing.

At The Cobble House you’ll step off the beaten path far enough to escape but close enough to enjoy local activities and exploration.
