The home sits in a quiet, private neighborhood within Quechee’s Historic District, just a short walk to the village green, Simon Pearce, the Post Office, Library, and the Ottauquechee River. A True Piece of Quechee History: The Mill House is one of just three original mill houses on High Street, built in the mid-19th century by the J.C. Parker Company for mill workers and their families. The Quechee village itself grew up around the power of the Ottauquechee River falls and dam, which provided industrial power for sawmills, gristmills, and ultimately textile mills. These rare homes are treasured for their classic 1½-story form, clapboard siding, granite foundations, and modest, functional design—hallmarks of Vermont’s industrial heritage. With its distinctive period features, The Mill House stands as a proud contributor to the Quechee Historic Mill District, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Staying here, you’ll experience the authentic charm and architectural character that define this well-preserved 19th-century village. Stay in a historic location and experience the rich culture of the time. Inside, you’ll find a bright and welcoming living room with hardwood floors and vintage columns—ideal for relaxing after a day exploring. The spacious kitchen features an island for gathering, plenty of counter space, and all the essentials for easy meal prep. The dining room is perfect for shared meals, with classic New England style and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. A washer and dryer are conveniently located in the kitchen area for guest use. Each of the three bedrooms is thoughtfully designed for comfort. The primary bedroom offers a roomy bed, reading lamps, a cozy chair by the window, and a bookshelf with a selection of books. The second bedroom features a welcoming bed, a bedside table and lamp, a fan for warmer days, and vintage skis on the wall for a touch of Vermont flair. The third bedroom is set up with two twin beds, bright windows, a soft rug, and a small fan, making it ideal for kids or friends. Upstairs, the loft sitting area is perfect for games, reading, or just unwinding, with a plush sofa, lounge chair, board games, books, a dartboard, and natural light from skylights. Step outside to enjoy the classic covered front porch with outdoor seating, or take advantage of the easy driveway parking right next to the house (space for up to two vehicles). The Mill House’s unbeatable location means you can walk to the Annual Balloon Festival, the village green, Simon Pearce, and the covered bridge. Outdoor lovers will appreciate easy access to hiking trails, the Quechee Gorge, and year-round activities like tennis, golf, and skiing through the Quechee Club Landowners Association. The surrounding region is filled with rolling hills, covered bridges, rivers, and quintessential Vermont scenery, while nearby Woodstock and Hanover offer even more to explore. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, outdoor adventure, or a taste of classic Vermont village life, Mill House is the perfect home base for your getaway. For history enthusiasts: As you stroll through the neighborhood, you’ll have the chance to discover the other original mill houses on High Street, each with its own story and preserved architectural details. The Mill House is another of this historic trio—be sure to notice its distinctive glass-and-panel entry with sidelights and an entablature lintel, a unique feature from its circa-1850 construction. To spot these historic homes, look for their modest 1½ to 2-story scale, close alignment to the road, and classic gable-front forms. Many feature clapboard siding, granite or fieldstone foundations, and minimal ornamentation—defining characteristics of the worker-era vernacular architecture that gives the Quechee Historic Mill District its unique charm. Many of these houses retain original features (or at least their external form) and help map out the spatial pattern of how the village accommodated the mill workforce. If you walk or drive through the district, you’ll notice houses on High Street and nearby streets that were clearly built for workers: modest in scale, aligned close to the street, often with simple gable-front or gable-end forms. Staying at The Mill House, you’ll be part of the living legacy that makes this area so special. Please Note: The woodstove in the living room is for decorative purposes only and not operational.
