This home was perfect for our family weekend getaway. We enjoyed being inside as well as doing a bit of ice fishing on the lake. Accessing the ice from the state park was easy since the ice directly in front of the home hadn’t frozen over yet.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home during our recent weekend in VT. The house was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend away. Even though it was too cold to enjoy the big deck and lake views to their fullest, we could still appreciate the peaceful scenery from inside. The space was perfect for our group of three couples — plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. We’d love to come back when the weather is warmer to fully enjoy all this lovely property has to offer!
The owners were wonderful and very responsive. We enjoyed our stay - beautiful location and view. The home was extremely inviting and perfect for our needs!
Beautiful lake house with a view!! Wonderful time with our family while visiting our son at Middlebury College. Great stay, location, clean and nice place with plenty of room for family. We had a perfect stay!
Such a nice weekend stay. We arrived late Friday night and woke up to a beautiful view of Lake Dunmore. The house was clean and welcoming. The kitchen had all one needed. The weather was not in our favor (rained most of the weekend) but it did not matter. It was a perfect spot for our quick weekend to Midd.
The Dugout was the perfect cozy spot for a cold Middlebury football weekend. Clean, comfy and well-appointed. All so organized -- makes quick in and outs very easy. Thanks for another great stay, Ashley! We can't wait to book this house for a warm weather stay too!
This place is beyond 5 stars! Perfect setting on a beautiful lake. The deck and fire pit with its magical views will make this a definite “We are coming back!” House is perfect - very comfy beds, great kitchen - entire place is easy and very comfortable. I can’t thank the Hosts enough for sharing their wonderful place with us. Fantastic memories were definitely made.
The whole family came up for the Middlebury Feb graduation. We had a lovely time in this peaceful, well-lit, and extremely functional Vrbo unit. Thanks.
Very clean. This house had the most complete kitchen and utensils, pots, frying pans, etc. that I have ever encountered in a rental. Unfortunately, it rained all weekend, so we didn't get to use all of the great porch.
Although the weather was quite hot, it was so nice being next to the lake and having that gentle breeze. Rental was very up to date with several amenities and usable appliances. The refrigerator broke before we got there but the owner flew up from out of state to oversee it's installation while we were there and ensure everything went smoothly.Very relaxing weekend with good friends. Thank you.
Property was well kept and ideally located on Lake Dunmore with a private dock. My family, ranging from age 2 to 66, all had a wonderful experience. I recommend this to all looking for a fun, relaxing Vermont beach experience.
We loved staying at the Dunmore property. Close to Middlebury College and just perfect for our family attending our son’s college graduation. Thank you!
Great, peaceful setting. Was pretty chilly and the sun poked through only briefly (April), but we can't wait to go back. Loved the setting and the house!
