About this property

Art-Filled Lakefront Cottage: Fire Pit, Kayaks & Views

  • A colorful, cozy 2-bedroom cottage right on the water, 20 minutes from Middlebury. Watch eagles and osprey soar past, feed the resident chipmunks, and let the lake breeze keep the bugs away while you finish that novel (or start one) by the gas fireplace or the fire pit under some of the best stargazing around.

    Kick back on the deck with a martini and mountain views, or get out on the water with 2 kayaks and a canoe — great for floating, paddling, and fishing bass and perch right off the shore. The slate beach is a beachcomber's dream for fossils and arrowheads, though swimming leans more toward floating than laps (some weed growth in the lake). Great WiFi and A/C included, and yes — book yourself a private yoga session with Chessy, our resident cleaning-gal-turned-yoga-guru.

    The cottage sits on a quiet dead-end country road just off the Vermont bike touring route, so there's zero traffic noise. Full kitchen stocked with everything you need, right down to spices and olive oil. Middlebury itself is a short, gorgeous drive away, with galleries, the college, bistros, pickleball and tennis at the Rec Center, waterfalls, hiking, and Revolutionary War-era forts across the bridge in New York — plenty to explore, though most guests find they don't want to leave the cottage at all.

    A couple of house notes: we spray for ticks regularly, and please use organic soaps only and go easy on the septic system, given its closeness to the lake.
    Watch the video — it really does say it all.

A beautiful, quiet cabin. Exactly as advertised. Clean, funky decor. Spent half of each day floating in the lake in some cheapy pool inflatables we brought with us and it was awesome. Great communication with host. Thanks for a much needed getaway.

Ahhhhh...

This cottage is the perfect if you want peace and quiet. It was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the area and did a variety of outings. I love the artistic flair of the owner. Laurel was great in terms of dealing with any questions I had. We will totally return to this adorable cottage with absolutely beautiful sunset views.

This place is SOOO CUTE and the View is to Die For!

This is an adorable cottage. Rustic but adequate. There's a porch overlooking the lake and the sunsets were gorgeous. It's surrounded by beautiful farmland and near the college town of Milford with restaurants and art etc. We did have rain 3 out of the 5 days but even then it was nice especially when the sun blasted through illuminating the greenest grass I've ever seen. There's only (1) Queen bed and (1) twin and the bathroom is small and the shower very small, but we were there for the view and that we got! The host is super friendly and helpful with suggestions etc. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Lovely home that has everything you need , located on a very secluded street . you can feel that this home is loved : has lots of great books and beautiful paintings ( home is owned by the artist ) Very cozy with a lot of character and overlooking Lake Champlain . Beautiful terrace . Local stores sell very good produce from nearby farms its organic and very tasty . great hiking at the Green Mountains for people who like forest ; trails are empty ( but about an hour away by car) Or you can walk around Middlebury that is 25 minutes away. we absolutely enjoyed our stay. The owner is a pleasure to communicate with:) Thank you, Laurel!

We had a beautiful, relaxing, & activity filled stay in this unique lakeside cottage with an osprey-level view of the southern end of Lake Champlain. Kayaking, bird watching, apple picking, day trips to Middlebury & Vergennes & lounging around the atmospheric cottage made for a top notch experience all around. Thanks!

A great place for a quiet week

My wife and I spent a half-work, half-vacation week in the cottage, and it met all of our needs. WiFi was great for web conferences, and AT&T and Verizon cell service strong. The lake view is fantastic. Laurel is a great hostess. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet lakeside camp.

Lovely escape!

Absolutely adored the character and charm of this lovely cottage on the lake that had everything we could possibly have needed for a relaxing and restoring break. It took a few crazy windstorms to remove us from the glorious deck/shore view and watching all the wildlife (while munching on delish cheese curds from the creamery up the road). I will definitely be back!
