My husband had a wonderful time on Lake St. Catherine. The cottage has everything you need. Even if you're sitting inside you can hear the crash of the waves. It was breathtaking.
Perfect place for two. The home was lovely and the views and location were spectacular. Host was very accommodating and easy to work with. We will be back to the lake and can think of no better place to stay!
We are so grateful that Linda shares this property with the world! Such an epic little cottage on Lake St. Catherine with classic Vermont views, access to more southern VT cute town vibes than you can shake a stick at, and sturdy little dock to boot! Cant wait to come back.
Beautiful well equipped cottage with a wonderful quiet location on Lake St. Catherine. Hiking,biking, walking trails, and golf near by. We relaxed ,read and swam on the wide dock. Plenty of food options too!
This place is absolutely wonderful for two people. The views are fantastic, the cottage is perfectly outfitted, the hosts have left nothing out, it is a dream escape.
This peaceful cottage at the waterâs edge exceeded our expectations! Access to the lake is only steps away and we fully enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The dock was perfect for morning coffee and lounging in between swimming and kayaking. The patio was handy for meals and organizing biking excursions. We prepared snacks and meals in the well stocked kitchen and appreciated the lake views from the open dining/living room areas. Being in a serene atmosphere surrounded by nature was just what we needed to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend this place and plan on returning!
This property is exactly as described in the overview and in the pictures. House was immaculate and stocked with everything you will need for a great vacation. Wonderful location right on the lake with spectacular views. Great communication from the owner.
The house was exactly as pictured. Clean and well maintained. Loved the open floor plan and all windows. Nice quiet place to sit on the dock and enjoy the leaves and the lake. Highly recommend!
Everything was great. Our vacation was very relaxing. The lake was beautiful. The house was perfect. You always get a great view of the lake because of all windows. We had our concerns about the spiral staircase before we got there, but there wasn't a problem at all. The owners built a great place for anyone to stay. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a calm and relaxing vacation!
From the calling loons at the end of the day to the tranquility of the morning light, if you want to have a magical getaway, this spotless, modern cottage is for you! We enjoyed great fishing, paddles in the kayaks and nearby attractions, restaurants and quaint shops. No problems or complaintsâŠowners are friendly and organized in every detail. LOVED IT!!!!!
This home was fantastic. You are literally right on the water. Quite peaceful and very relaxing. Fantastic place for two people to enjoy. Great area to explore and nice local restaurants. The kayaks are a definite plus. The owner is very quick to respond and answer any and all questions. You can find no better place to sit and look at the lake and watch the boats. Another plus was all the neighbors we met were very friendly and had great suggestions on places to see. We will definitely return to unwind and recharge.
Once again (4th time renters), my husband and I had a relaxing stay at this cottage. Itâs perfect for a couples getaway. The cottage is exactly as described but better. Lots of natural light because of all the windows and although no air conditioning, we never felt like it was too warm, and weâve been there during heatwaves with high humidity. The kitchen, though small has everything you need. Thereâs even spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar so itâs pretty easy to do your own cooking. The one large bedroom is a spiral staircase, so if you have difficulty with stairs this may not be for you, but we didnât mind it a bit. The hardest part is getting the suitcase up and down, but otherwise no issues. The dock is great, getting morning sun but nice and shady in the afternoon. We loved kayaking in the early morning when the lake was oh so still and quiet. The floating loungers were great to relax on the water and cool down. We saw ducks, geese, herons and a bald eagle, so lots of nature to see. Iâm sure weâll be back again.
P.S. My husband thinks the cottage needs a name like many of the others around the lake, so heâs decided to call it Leaning Cedars Cottage, hence the description of this review.
I stayed at the cottage for a week in August, as a base for visiting family and friends, hiking, and relaxing by the lake. The cottage was exactly as described--pretty, well-designed, and comfortable--at a beautiful and quiet location right on the lake. Linda was quite responsive. The place is small, as described (one bedroom), but perfect for my needs
My husband & I had a perfect week just chilling out in Lake St. Catherine & watching the Olympics. This home is small but very beautiful & well-appointed. My husband fished from the dock catching (& releasing) a northern pike & bass. We waded into the lake daily from the stony shore & spent hours just bobbing in the water-it was wonderful!
We cooked all of our meals there finding everything we needed in the kitchen. The multipurpose oven was new for us but performed nicely. We originally hesitated to come due to the spiral stair & only 1 bathroom. We are in our late 60's but found the narrow stairway surprisingly secure to navigate. One suggestion for anyone who may be a light-sensitive sleeper is to bring a sleep mask. The many windows & skylight keep this home light & bright. We had a couple hot days but the fans kept us comfortable.
We tried the kayaks but they were too small for my 6' husband to use, so we we mostly enjoyed the swimming. On our 1 rainy day we enjoyed the TV, a puzzle, & reading. It was really a wonderful relaxing week! The host is very communicative & attentive. The instructions for the house are well-developed, comprehensive, & clear. The neighborhood is quiet, the lake is gorgeous, & we wish we were still there!
We had an amazing week at Lindaâs property. The views and surrounding landscape couldnât be beat, especially in foliage season. Linda was kind and communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Very much hoping I find my way back Sooner rather than later!
We rented this wonderful waterfront cottage for our annual fall Vermont visit. The location is hard to describe in words since it sits right on the water and you get incredible views from every where. You wake up and see incredible sunrise and you go to bed seeing a sky lit with stars everywhere and its reflection on the water. The cottage is equipped with everything you would need and it feels very homy and cozy. We loved hiking and biking and had an amazing week . Will definitely recommend to our family and friends
We were able to spend 5 nights at Linda's lovely lake front home. It's well appointed, clean and thoughtfully planned out. The views of the lake from all the windows plus the Oct Fall foliage in VT were spectacular and an added bonus.
Quiet street in a quaint VT town with friendly people we met along the way. Day trips to Manchester VT and Saratoga Springs NY just an hour away.
Great vacation to rest, relax and recharge. Don't hesitate to book Linda's beautiful cottage for a peaceful time away from your busy lives.
What an amazing property! It has everything needed for the perfect getaway. Location - hiking, biking, and lake activities. Atmosphere - windows overlooking lake, VT Castings fireplace, patio and dock in quiet neighborhood. Beautifully decorated with everything we needed. We hope to visit again.
Tucked away on a quieter section of Lake Saint Catherine, this property offers a unique and serene getaway for two. Beautifully perched above the lake, it is a great spot for relaxing and getting some downtime. Linda exceeds 5 stars in ensuring that you have all the information you need for a great stay!
Beautiful views, cozy cottage, perfect getaway! Our host Linda sent perfect instructions with things to do, restaurants etc. we kayaked, biked and enjoyed the peace and quiet, I would highly recommend the cottage!
This lake house on Lake St. Catherine in Vermont is one of the state's best kept secrets. The house sits literally feet away from the lake. You can't help but feel the lake in all its splendid moods. If you like quiet and enjoy the subtlety of nature, this place is for you. The house is in excellent condition and the bedroom and bathroom will not disappoint. Prepare to transform yourself to a more soulful and content human being.
Beautiful home right on the water. Perfect escape from the city for a few days of R&R, kayaking, reading by the dock, and hiking some nearby trails. Owner was very helpful and a pleasure to work with.
We had a great week on Lake St Catherine. The Lake House was perfect for us. Beautiful views. Enjoyed kayaking around the lake. The Lake house felt new. Sparkling clean and comfortable. Peaceful evenings relaxing under the stars. Golfed at a nearby golf course. Fished off the dock. Day trip to Saratoga Springs only one hour away. Visited Vermont State Fair in Rutland. Also visited Lake George less than an hour away. All and all we couldn't have had a better week. Can't wait to come back next year!!!
This is our third stay at the cottage and as usual, it did not disappoint. The place is exactly as described, maybe even better. Everything youâll need is provided. The owner has thought of everything. Itâs a lovely place to decompress and recharge your batteries. We loved hanging out on the dock, especially early morning and late afternoon, and taking out the kayaks to explore the lake. We like to go to the north end of the lake and go in the little creek to access the pond. We saw a great blue heron, many geese, loons, ducks, falcons, humming birds, and several other songbirds all why sitting on the dock. It was great to be back on Lake Saint Catherine after several years and we hope to make a return again soon.
We have owned property on Lake St. Catherine since 1984. Keith is an architect and Linda is a real estate broker in NJ and NY with a commercial property management business.
Lake St. Catherine is a beautiful lake and the surrounding area has so much to offer in terms of outdoor activities. We are avid skiers and love to play golf, hike in the woods and mountains and take long bike rides. The nearby Slate Valley Trails provide a wide variety of mountain biking/ hiking trails. Lake St. Catherine is the perfect environment for us.
