Lakeside Isbell Cottage and Isbellita Guest Cottage

Peaceful 1930s cottage on beautiful Lake Willoughby in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Incredible sunset views over the lake from any of the 3 porches, open, screened and sleeping. Vintage wainscot walls hung with old and new artwork, and large front yard with a fire ring. Lovely cedar hedged alley leading to private beach across the road with deck, Adirondack chairs and a dock for sitting and swimming. Shallow swimming perfect for young children.
Second guest cottage on property included with queen bed, mini kitchen, living room and porch.
Just 3 properties north of the Willoughby Lake Store where you can find just about anything you might have forgotten from fishing gear to ice cream (and creemees!), to local gifts and a liquor store.
Close to beautiful hikes, museums, great antiquing, farmers markets and the Bread and Puppet Theater.

Great lakeside house
Beautiful views and plenty of space in this lakeside house and cottage. There were 6 of us and the space was perfect. Even though the weather didn't cooperate we made the best of it. Lots of games and fun! Loved the porches for our morning coffee. Living area was nice and cozy with plenty of seating. We hope to return in better weather to take advantage of the private dock and firepits. Thanks for sharing with us!

Sibling reunion
The house has a lovely, old fashioned feel and was clean except for the refrigerator. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside on the porch. Considering that the oven doesn’t work, it would have been very helpful to have instructions for the convection oven. The water pressure was low. It is a beautiful home and setting.

Peaceful, gorgeous get-away
The property is comprised of two charming cottages -- one is a snug, cosy guest cottage that sleeps three; the second, Isbell Cottage, is a larger cottage that sleep 8-10 with a large living room/dining room, charming kitchen, and double porch. The cottages have access to Willougbhy Lake with a deck, dock and beach front. The cottages have a lovely character harkening back to a simpler time, with unique furniture, eclectic and beautiful artwork, and amenities you need for a relaxing lakeside respite. My husband and I spent the second week of our honeymoon at Isbell Cottage and it was perfect! We used the snug guest cottage, rose each morning to have coffee on the porch and watched the sun come up. We took amazing hikes, visited museums in Glover, and spent a rainy day making chili, reading and playing cards as the sound of rain kept us cosy. (Don't miss the Bread and Puppet Museum and the amazing and quirky Museum of Everyday Life in Glover!) At the weekend, ten our best friends joined us to celebrate our marriage and everyone fit perfectly into the two cottages. We kayaked and paddle boarded and we spent most of the days on or near the water. Evenings we watched spectular sunsets, listened to the loons, and sat around a fire on the beach reminiscing and telling stories. It was a magical experience. Finally, I slept better than I have slept in a long time in the deeply quiet, dark night. I left Isbell Cottage with a deep feeling of peace and restfulness.

Charming cottage
We loved the character and amenities of the cottage. The lake access was lovely, as well as walking to ice cream at the Lake Store. The house itself has ample room and is so gracious and charming; like staying at your grandparents’ home.

Lake Willoughby Weekend Getaway
We had a fabulous weekend at this property! The house was comfortable and relaxing. Our kids loved the unique feature of the sleeping porch. It was nice to have our own dock across the street and our family enjoyed the use of the kayaks. We hope to return someday!

Perfect Vermont Lake house
Our family of 5 adults and a 1 year old spent a great week here. The house is the perfect Vermont lake house. Plenty of space. The porches are amazing!! The yard is perfect for outdoor games. The separate cabin is a great space. It’s nice to have a ‘private’ beach area and the dock had plenty of space for the boat. The lake is beautiful! Plenty of choices for hiking in the area. Would definitely go back!
