The layout of the house was perfect for our party - the game room was far enough away from the bedrooms that people could go to bed undisturbed while others stayed up late. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us to enjoy the lake that was only a few feet away, but it was a beautiful view and we were able to kayak at least once! Josie was easy to communicate with and the house had everything we needed (plates, cutlery, towels, blankets, etc.). I would recommend this house to others for sure! ##### Margaret D.

May 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short visit to Vermont We were in VT to find a place in Burlington to live, but used this cottage as home base. It is a cute, funky lake cottage that are not 5 star accommodations, but with views and lake access that are amazing. Josie was great to communicate with and answered all my questions right away. There was not one thing we lacked for. She thought of everything including a happy birthday banner and plates and napkins when I mentioned we would be celebrating a birthday. We were a bit thrown when we realized the area really didn't have any restaurants around...and the few pizza places closed at 5 except for one. It is extremely rural and peaceful.My adult kids loved the kayaks and my husband got to happily fish for hours after buying a license down at the market. I don't know if it was the fresh air or the super comfortable bed, but it was the best sleep I have had in a long time. If you want a peaceful place with incredible views, check this place out. ##### Jennifer W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikolai G. Sep 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Life is certainly much better on the lake! We stayed with 2 other families of our friends for the long weekend. We knew the area a bit before, so we booked quite confidently. The cottage is a typical lakeside cottage for this area, spacious, comfortable, with everything that you may need for the pleasant stay. Easy to access, easy to find everything. Beds are comfy, what is there is working fine, things are simple, but functional. The area is very quiet and relaxing. In a day we knew half of the village :) OK, this is an exaggeration, but still, the people around are very nice, the local grocery store, which is a minute of walking away, seems to be the local community center. You can ask the owner any question about the area, where to find things etc. Also she stacks pretty good selection of every-day things, so do not worry if you run out of eggs, bread etc. The beach is quite good, a bit small, but the water level now seems to be a bit higher than usually. The owner offers many water toys so you do not need to bring yours. I even saw the fishing rods there, but I had my stuff. And fishing there is indeed quite pleasant, especially at sunset. Sunset views from the balcony are just gorgeous. And, finally, can't say anything but good about the owner, Josie. It was very easy to communicate with, she was getting back promptly with the answers to any question I asked. ##### Nikolai G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abhishek D. Oct 22, 2018 #### Amazing getaway vacation Ohh..! Where to start..!! To summarize.. Amazing is the word. Lovely location. Great facilities. And when you need a break from busy life, this is a place you need to go. Me along with 5 friends decided to have a weekend getaway (10/5 - 10/7) at Vermont during foliage period. This location was suitable for us considering location and budget. We reached late on 5th, the location was not very difficult to find. There was welcome kit with all required information available. They had local brewed beer in fridge which was complementary. The bedrooms were clean and cozy. Kitchen was organized and clean with all utensils and disposable cups and plates available. Living room had lot of space. And the view from balcony was awesome.. lake view.. They had a recreational room with all the games listed in description. The kayaks were new and easy to use. Had lovely time kayaking in the morning with a great foliage view. The highlight was the barbeque grill, which was clean and ready to use. We already had our marinated food ready to be grilled. It came out really well. The only concern we had was the tap water which had a sulfuric odre. Which I think might be the issue with the location itself. We had to use the packaged water for our all needs. All and all a very relaxing, chilled out vacation for all 6 of us.. Thank you so much for giving us a forever cherishing experience. And thank you home away for making this experience possible.. Will surely plan to book this property again. ##### Abhishek D. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine G.

The house is quite spacious, which was good for our large dog to roam around. We luckily had a week of good weather and went kayaking almost every day. Everything was nice and clean and well stocked as well. ##### Kayla S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### GEORGE M.
