"We didn't immediately see the falls as we pulled off Route 14 into an ample parking area next to a typical Vermont farmhouse, built in 1852, and two large barns, one built specifically to house oxen in 1839. But we could hear it. It was obviously up there in the woods behind the barn. Bob Edebohls came out to greet us and then escort us up a well-groomed walkway, lined with azaleas, rhododendrons, and other perennials, to the falls. Wow. We could have sat there in that gazebo watching the falls for hours. It would be such fun at night, too, because Bob recently installed lights, making Jeudevine Falls one of the very few fully lighted natural waterfalls in the world."

Vermont Waterfalls
"This waterfall is one of the elite in Vermont, with height, width, and pure beauty. The main attraction is the lower falls, with over 125' of an enormous fan over the bedrock. The owner, Bob Edebohls, has built a beautiful gazebo and path near the falls for recreation and special events. Following the stone path uphill, you come to the secluded upper falls, which is over 20' of smaller cascades. An amazing feature of this fall is that it is lit at night! In addition, the walking paths are all lit, so it is quite a place. This is a truly hidden gem in upstate Vermont."

"HARDWICK--Robert Edebohls, better known as Bob, has lived off of Route 14 between the centers of Hadwick and Craftsbury since he was five years old. He grew up climbing waterfalls and exploring his parents' 15 acres of forest and meadows. After traveling and experiencing nature across the U.S. and Europe, he realized he had something special in his own backyard. And he wanted to share it.
So he did. The current Jeudevine Falls Events Center sports a 122-foot tall, 77-foot wide lower waterfall, and a 20-foot upper waterfall, a handmade wood wedding gazebo and amphitheater, at least a quarter mile of gravel-covered lit pathways along and above the falls, a large field for wedding tenting, and a small covered bridge. There are benches dotted along the paths, offering spots for a quick rest or picnic. Open mid-May to mid-October, it offers equal opportunity to experience beautiful flowers and greenery or the famous Vermont fall foliage.
Mr. Edebohls started clearing his property for visitors in 1997, tackling decades of overgrown bushes and brush, and thick groupings of trees. He described the front as a sort of "debris field" when he first began. It was a lot of work to manicure even a few of his expansive 15 acres, especially on his own. He didn't officially open until 2001. His first attempt to draw in sightseers was a small sunflower maze, which according to him, 'looked nice one year, and then it didn't the next.'
So, Mr. Edebohls moved on. He designed, built, and maintained the sturdy wooden staircases and gravel-covered paths he calls 'shorcuts' around the waterfall next to his home. The paths, which meander up the hillside at a comfortable slope, were 'chosen by the cows' back when the property was mainly used for cattle raising. The staircases offer amore direct routes up steeper sections.
'I call this the "stairway to heaven," he said of the staircase from the falls to a nearby gazebo and amphitheater. 'It's my 37-step exercise program. When I'm in a hurry, I take them two at a time--it keeps me young."
...The reason Mr. Edebohls continues to expand his trails and ease of access to nature on his property is because he just wants people to enjoy the space, he said. Over the course of viewing his property, he described plans to build a new bridge to access trails across the waterfall, perhaps for cross country skiing. He wants to re-clear the path to the top of the falls so that people can look down from the top. He has lights to run, benches to lug into new positions, and always the constant fight against plants overtaking what he's already done.
All the while, Mr. Edebohls is conscious of what his pathways and trimming does to the wildlife in the area. He said he thinks about every possible downed tree and new trail for days before implementing anything. The event center is not an attempt to tame nature, but to experience it."

"Our search for a beautiful, romantic and fun outdoor location for our recent wedding ended when we discovered Jeudevine Falls. With its beautifully constructed gazebo, breathtaking waterfalls and meticulously maintained grounds and gardens we found just what we had been looking for. Bob Edebohls, the owner had just installed a large wedding tent along with a great dance floor. He was also great at helping us with our final details and preparations. We would highly recommend this site for any couple looking for a unique wedding location. Thanks again Bob!"

"Thank you so much from Craftsbury Schools for opening your beautiful place to our Junior Class Prom. The grounds including the lawns, gardens, waterfalls, and gazebo were stunning in daylight as well as at night. The tent was spacious, and you provided plenty of chairs, tables, extension cords, and other supplies needed. Again, Jeudevine Falls helped make our prom one of the finest events ever! Many thanks from all of us."
