About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Charming vintage cottage with a 50s vibe just steps away from Cedar Lake!
Adorable rustic cottage hand-built in 1945—tiny but comfortable (525sf). This little gem is part of a group of 10 tiny cottages that were built in the early 50s and 60s by several families. Some are still owned by descendants of the original families. At different points there are a few families visiting their homes, but other times you have the whole place to yourself!
We are very attentive and caring owners and are pleased to share our cozy little getaway!
This little building is just right for a family, or for adults who don't mind that their privacy is limited. There are 2 small bedrooms that have curtains for doors and an opening at the top of the wall between the bedrooms. So, you can't see each other, but you can hear each other! The master bedroom has a double mattress on a metal frame. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin mattress on the top and a double mattress on the bottom. There is one small bathroom with a stand-up shower.
The gray and black water goes into a holding tank so that nothing goes into the lake. It is a small holding tank, so please be mindful of that. (e.g. Shower yes, spa-time, no!) Our guests staying aware of this will help us in keeping costs down.
The location is around 30 minutes from just about everything: Burlington and Middlebury (including their colleges), the ferry to New York, shopping, hiking, leaf peeping, etc. When you come back from your travels, enjoy the view of Camel's Hump from the screened porch, or from the lake in one of the provided kayaks or paddleboat. Parking is free with 3 spots available.
There is a road behind the cottages that provides public access to the boat ramp for the lake, which is not terribly busy. Sometimes people ride their horses on the access road. On the whole, it's fairly quiet, but it is a spot for the locals to come and do some boating and fishing!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk. Change of towels is available on request.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

Thank you Roxanne for the opportunity to enjoy your wonder cottage on the lake! You are an amazing host for sure. Perfect communication and thanks for checking in if we were comfortable or needed anything - much appreciated. We had an incredible fall stay at this immaculate lakefront house! The home is beautifully maintained and spotless - one of the cleanest vacation rentals we’ve stayed in. Its location couldn’t have been more perfect - right on the lake with direct, easy access to the water off the dock. The property came fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the stay and the lake. Pedal boat and kayaks to fishing gear. A real treat was the sunrise. We made it a point to get outside each day to watch the sun emerge above the hills and lake. A wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back!

The cottage was just as described with the added bonus of a full kitchen albeit with out a dishwasher. The bagel toaster more than made up for that! We were here for a family wedding and it was great to come back to the lake for the peace and quiet!

We had an amazing time at this perfect cabin/cottage/camp. It was a very relaxing stay. Roxanne thought of everything. We felt at home and had everything we needed while we were there! We plan on coming back next year and bringing our 3 kids with us! We cannot say enough good things about this perfect place!
