Overall our stay was nice. Beautiful sunrises every morning and the lakefront was awesome. The host left a gift which was a nice touch. The kitchen was fully stocked and the queen size bed was very comfortable. The grill in the picture was not the grill that was there. The one there was much smaller. There were a lot of cob webs and spiders all over the house including the floors behind furniture which I understand here and there but felt there was alot more than there should have been if cleaned well. The home was in the process of being re-done on the inside so half oh the house, including the ceiling and the walls, had nothing on them. Just the exterior wall and roof which made it a bit cold at night. Other than that we had a nice stay.

Serene and quiet area, private lot, kayaks and life jackets easily accessible, and excellent communication with host, did not realize the open/no ceilings in bedrooms, all pots/pans/plates/utensils we needed were at the rental, quite a lot of cob webs/dust (but expected some for a lake house), the BEST sunrise lake view we have seen, easy check out

The cabin, detached additional bedroom, and grounds were immaculate. We prepared several meals and barbequed over the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.The host was most gracious and helpful. Our only regret was not having another few days to enjoy Vermont and this waterfront paradise! The family has already discussed returning next year!

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The propery was true to the VRBO online description and was very clean, with easy access when we arrived. The "neighborhood" was quiet with easy travel to get groceries or meals out. The host was terrific. Tonja was very responsive to our questions and left us a wonderful Vermont-esque treat upon our arrival. We highly recommend this spot for a quiet getaway in northern VT. Thanks, Tonja!

We came into town for a wedding. The whole family came with us. So it was great to have the extra cottage for peace and quiet for the baby. It was definitely family friendly. It was about 15 mins away from downtown. So easy enough to get food or go explore. The water was super low and the state recommended no drinking or swimming in the lake. So i certainly won't hold that against anyone. Kind-of put a damper on the whole weekend. Overall, not a bad cabin with attached cottage

The cottage was very cozy and well kept. It has a beautiful screened porch that we read, ate, and played games. It is directly on the lake with a beautiful view. We took out the kayaks and swam. There is a very nice state park and beach in the town. Plus a Hannafords. We had a wonderful time. The host is very nice and responsive.

Great camp, amazing views!

This camp had everything we needed for a great stay! From the Keurig for morning coffee, the filtered water spout in the kitchen, the ample space to spread out for four of us, to the window air conditioning units, this place was full of amenities! Sitting on the porch and gazing out on the lake was amazing! Being able to have my boat right there on the property's dock was definitely a game changer. It was very peaceful. Leaving the property, my boys asked if we could make this our annual camp for our special weekend. I agree, I sure hope we're able to!
