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.

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!

This trip was just what I was looking for, a get away to relax I was looking for a cabin on the water with a fire pit and grill, this had all of this and then more. We did not want to leave the peace and quiet, I had my coffee on the porch overlooking the water every morning. We hope to go back soon.
