About this property

Charming vintage cottage with a 50s vibe just steps away from Cedar Lake!

  • Adorable rustic cottage hand-built in 1945—tiny but comfortable (525sf). This little gem is part of a group of 10 tiny cottages that were built in the early 50s and 60s by several families. Some are still owned by descendants of the original families. At different points there are a few families visiting their homes, but other times you have the whole place to yourself!

    We are very attentive and caring owners and are pleased to share our cozy little getaway!

    This little building is just right for a family, or for adults who don't mind that their privacy is limited. There are 2 small bedrooms that have curtains for doors and an opening at the top of the wall between the bedrooms. So, you can't see each other, but you can hear each other! The master bedroom has a double mattress on a metal frame. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin mattress on the top and a double mattress on the bottom. There is one small bathroom with a stand-up shower.

    The gray and black water goes into a holding tank so that nothing goes into the lake. It is a small holding tank, so please be mindful of that. (e.g. Shower yes, spa-time, no!) Our guests staying aware of this will help us in keeping costs down.

    The location is around 30 minutes from just about everything: Burlington and Middlebury (including their colleges), the ferry to New York, shopping, hiking, leaf peeping, etc. When you come back from your travels, enjoy the view of Camel's Hump from the screened porch, or from the lake in one of the provided kayaks or paddleboat. Parking is free with 3 spots available.

    There is a road behind the cottages that provides public access to the boat ramp for the lake, which is not terribly busy. Sometimes people ride their horses on the access road. On the whole, it's fairly quiet, but it is a spot for the locals to come and do some boating and fishing!

This cottage was an absolute dream. The location is amazing, situated right on cedar lake only 30 minutes from Burlington, 15 minutes from vergennes and about 25 from Middlebury. It is surrounded by farms and farm stands with incredible produce and delicious creamees! Everything about it was perfect. The host was amazing, they literally thought of everything! My son especially enjoyed all the pumpkinseed sunfish around the beautiful dock and rides on the paddle boat. My wife and I shared one of the most magical evenings listen to thunder and rain pitter-patter on the roof while watching lighting illuminate the mountains framing the lake. The cottage is something straight out of a novel and I would give this place 20 out of 5 stars if I could. Would recommend to anyone considering it and will definitely be back!

Thank you Roxanne for the opportunity to enjoy your wonder cottage on the lake! You are an amazing host for sure. Perfect communication and thanks for checking in if we were comfortable or needed anything - much appreciated. We had an incredible fall stay at this immaculate lakefront house! The home is beautifully maintained and spotless - one of the cleanest vacation rentals we’ve stayed in. Its location couldn’t have been more perfect - right on the lake with direct, easy access to the water off the dock. The property came fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the stay and the lake. Pedal boat and kayaks to fishing gear. A real treat was the sunrise. We made it a point to get outside each day to watch the sun emerge above the hills and lake. A wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything about our experience was wonderful! The owner was super friendly, accessible, and helpful. The cottage was well-maintained and comfortable, with so many thoughtful touches that made the space functional. It looks tiny in the listing but feels much bigger in person- very comfortable for our family of 4. (Looked around at one point and noted there is actually seating for 9 in the living room.) The waterfront and view were simply magical. We basically lived on the dock and the screened in porch. The neighbors caught a bunch of fish and we enjoyed seeing fish and turtles right off the dock. This is definitely a social spot - all the neighbors were there during our stay and were very pleasant and eager to chat. In that sense it had a community feel rather than an isolated getaway, which we really enjoyed but is something to consider. We ventured out for Ben & Jerry’s, market, and creemee- all easy trips and a gorgeous drive. Would return in a heartbeat!

Starlite cabin was just perfect. Close to Burlington, but the goal was to get back to the cabin around 4pm to sit on the dock, or take out the paddle boat. I even caught a 14" Wide mouth bass about 100 feet from the dock, and i have no clue how to fish. Neighbors are friendly, helpful and VERY quiet at night. Great communication with the owners. We will be back!

We had an amazing time at this perfect cabin/cottage/camp. It was a very relaxing stay. Roxanne thought of everything. We felt at home and had everything we needed while we were there! We plan on coming back next year and bringing our 3 kids with us! We cannot say enough good things about this perfect place!

The cottage was just as described with the added bonus of a full kitchen albeit with out a dishwasher. The bagel toaster more than made up for that! We were here for a family wedding and it was great to come back to the lake for the peace and quiet!
