Perfect for a peaceful get away in clean fresh Vermont air!

This cottage is nestled in the mountains of Woodford VT, in a private location directly on the lake. You will experience sheer delight during your stay at the Honey Bear Lake Cottage!

Choose from multiple sizes of beds to sleep, in each of three separate rooms. Enjoy brand-new stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen as you cook your favorite dishes. There is also a brand-new gas grill on the deck. The kitchen is fully supplied, just bring your own food. Condiments such as ketchup, mayo, etc. are available. Dine indoors, or enjoy the new high top table land chairs with an umbrella on the deck. Cook on my new grill

Sit by the propane firepit outside on the deck or start a real fire to roast your marshmallows in the pit by the lake. Rock yourself to sleep on the glider swing or sit on the bench in the corner to meditate! The frogs will sing a song to you.

Jump in the three-man canoe for a cruise or take the kayaks for a leisurely spin around the lake and take a world around the lake on the paddle board.
There is a TV in the living room, as well as one in the upstairs loft bedroom. Play a board game in front of the propane fireplace in the cozy living room.

All fresh linens are supplied, including plenty of towels. Also provided are toiletries and a hairdryer.

In winter months, enjoy ice skating and ice fishing on the lake, or bring your snowmobiles. The entrance to the VAST Trail is up Mountain Road through the power lines. Cross country skiing is available at Prospect Mountain, just a one-minute ride away.

Take a break from the magic and drive down the road in either direction to neighboring towns. Bennington and Wilmington both have plenty of places to shop, eat, and enjoy some sightseeing and history.
Few minutes away is the Mountain General store if you need some basics and help support local business.

We are here to make your stay the best you have ever had. Let me know your needs, and It will be my pleasure to book your stay right at this moment...you no longer have to search anywhere else!
Only dogs no calls
look forward to hearing from you soon!
Kindly,
Linda Jane

This cottage is the perfect home-base for exploring southern Vermont. The personal touches and smallest details LJ has added to the home make it an exceptional stay. LJ is a fantastic host and very responsive to all communication, even quickly helping us when we had a user error with the lock (100% my fault). We all agreed that we got the best sleep we ever have in any rental we've stayed in. The loft is the best cozy cave ever! We are already looking forward to staying here again and continuing our explorations of the area.

Loved our day here. Clean, cozy house with a great bonus room and 1/2 bath upstairs for kids/ teens to hang out. On a lovely pond, quiet neighborhood and spacious yard. Fire pit was great and plenty of seating on the deck. We didn’t use the kayaks/canoes due to our short stay, but wish we could have. Easy check-in/ out, communication with owner was quick and seamless. Hope to stay here again.

We had a wonderful time during our week at the lovely Honey Bear Cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and well stocked with supplies to make our stay convenient and enjoyable. There was a great variety of watercraft available for our use as well. The property is well secluded to provide privacy and a restful, relaxing atmosphere.

Labor Day Lake Vacation

The weather was perfect for enjoying this water front property. It was so easy and convenient to have plenty of boat and floatie options right on site, and the deck was perfect for mealtimes in the sunshine. Our teen and tween didn’t have much trouble navigating the ladder to the loft bedrooms, but it is something to note if there are less agile members of your party.

An All-around Winner!

What a lovely stay! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and it was very clean and well organized. The photos don't quite do it justice. Peaceful lake views all day with mountains in the distance - what's not to like? We used the queen bedroom on the main floor and the bed was so very comfortable. We were there for two weeks, so we definitely used the kitchen - again, a well-planned space and well stocked. We hope to be there again!

The Honey Bear Cottage is adorable. The cottage is well stocked and immaculate. The adjustable bed is extremely comfortable. We did not get to use the fire pits or the upstairs bedroom but we did get to enjoy Big Pond, using the kayak and pedal boat. The hostess, Linda Jane is very attentive to your needs.

Ski weekend

Linda Jane’s place is absolutely wonderful! The house was sparkling clean and had everything we could need for a weekend ski getaway. Also situated on a scenic pond in a quiet neighborhood. About 30 minute drive to Mt. Snow. Only thing to note, the cabin is a bit open concept, so Linda Jane kindly provided a divider to allow for more privacy between the downstairs bedrooms. We had a great weekend with friends and would love to plan a trip back!

Lovely home on the lake

We had a great stay during 2023 Memorial weekend. The house was sweet, very clean and perfect for a family with a mother in law. Everyone had their own space (even the teenager had his own bed) and we enjoyed the outside with the kayaks and paddling board. The view from the living room/kitchen is stunning and the pictures don't do it justice. Linda Jane was very responsive and very communicative. We hope to come back next Summer.

We had a great time at our Honey Bear cozy cabin; it was excellent. Our host, Linda Jane was awesome and kept in touch with us anytime we needed anything. Thanks Linda for all the goodies! The place was very clean and had everything in there we needed plus a lot of things we never thought would be there; it was great! The location was awesome since we had a big family get together and most of them stayed at Woodford State Park, which was only a mile down the road. It was so nice and close and those staying in lean-to’s and tents, were a little jealous of us! Especially Sunday morning, waking up to pouring rain. Thanks again, Linda Jane. We will definitely be back!

The cottage is absolutely adorable, and is furnished with all the amenities. The beds are Uber comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and is stocked with all the appliances you would expect and more. The house is clean, comfortable, cozy and has a bit of whimsical decor which our kids loved. It fit our family of 5 perfectly. The views are stunning. It’s 25 min away from Mt Snow.
