If I have any thing to criticize it would be the most uncomfortable seating in the living room. It was the fulfilment of a dream of turning back to the vintage style of camping. We had all the other comforts of home. Check the back railing on the steps down to the dock. The railing is rickety . ##### wendy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie S. Aug 11, 2025 #### Really great cabin Perfect cabin right on the water. We had a very comfortable stay with all necessities covered.

Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This cottage was perfect! Everything our family wanted in a lake vacation. The kitchen was well equipped, and the furniture and beds were comfy. Cute decor too. We loved the location. The lake views are incredible from outside and the screened in porch. The kayaks were a blast. Very kind and friendly neighbors too. Hope to visit again one day :) ##### Debra V. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### AL M. Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy The photos of the cabin were accurate. The photo of the dock and the lake was not. Unfortunately, I based my decision to come here on the dock and the lake. Had the photograph of the dock and lake been accurate, I would not have rented this place. The low water level and the thickness and stench of the overgrowth prevented me from entering the water. Nor did I want to use the fire pit, because of the smell outside. The local caretaker tried to help, but it was all out of their hands. Vacasa Vermont was completely unhelpful and gave me the runaround. I stayed for 3 out of the 5 nights that I booked, and all I wanted was a refund for the last two nights. I was told no. I checked out anyway. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d46bd97e-8e3a-42a6-9bbe-183b5b279102-1756498108509.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### AL M.
