Peaceful Lakefront Retreat, Fish, Kayak, Unplug 18 Min from Middlebury

You have this quiet little relaxing place all to yourself. It's off the beaten path — no crazy loud motorboats to deal with, just a quiet little lake great for fishing and kayaking. There are two flat levels to play yard games, a large sun deck to get that great tan, and great fishing off the dock. A picnic table and gas grill are ready for cooking up the perfect steak at the end of the day. Keep in mind this is a small Vermont lake — it can be shallow at times and a bit mucky on the bottom, which we can't control.
One camp, two sides:
Lakeside — The guest side of the cottage consists of the chef's kitchen, one bathroom, 2 bedrooms, a 4-season porch with a pullout sofa, deck and yard, sleeping up to 6 guests comfortably. Your guest side is completely private — no shared spaces, no shared entry.
Roadside — Your hosts sometimes stay in a fully separate owner's suite on the upper side of the cottage, with its own private entrance. Interaction with us is entirely optional. Many guests enjoy their stay without crossing paths with us at all, while others love having us nearby for a fire or a local recommendation. You set the tone.
Yard games, a small fishing boat with oars, kayaks, and life jackets are all on-site. Firewood is available for purchase on-site — just let us know if you'd like some for the fire pit. Wi-Fi and a Smart TV are available for you to use with your own streaming accounts (we don't have cable). Towels, linens, and bedding are clean and fresh, and filtered water and ice come straight from the fridge.
We're in Addison County lake country — quiet, wooded, and off the beaten path, with Branbury State Park and Lake Dunmore just up the road for swimming and hiking, and the Moosalamoo Recreation Area nearby for trails. Nearby is Kampersville Deli for pizza and ice cream, and our favorite, Paddlers Pub. Neshobe Golf Club is also close by.
15 minutes from Middlebury, 40 minutes to Rutland, about an hour to most ski resorts — a relaxing getaway no matter the season.
We're in the woods, so don't forget your bug spray. Room for 2 cars — please park only in the driveway. Only guests on the reservation are allowed on the property at any time.

During snowy weather, the road will be plowed .
Because the camp sits on the lake, drifting snow is possible. A snow shovel is available (outside on the deck), along with a bucket of sand/salt and a scoop to improve traction. Please use caution on snowy or icy surfaces — access and use are at your own risk. The camp is located down a long gravel driveway. We highly recommend having snow tires and/ or all wheel drive if staying during snow season.
