Peaceful View

This cottage was just the right size for the two of us, and the large windows overlooking the bay provided such a serene setting. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. Our visit was very comfortable. The only caution I would give is the staircase to the lower level where the bedrooms are is steep and does not have adequate railing, especially at the bottom, for safety. This would be a challenge for elderly, young children, or anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise, it’s a lovely cottage.

Relaxing getaway

It was a charming cottage overlooking the lake. Very comfortable and well kept. Quiet and private. The house and property were just as the photos showed. The kitchen was well set up for cooking meals when we didn't want to go out. We enjoyed local hiking and kayaking from the house's dock. We would definitely return.

A Hidden Gem

The house was very cute, clean and well stocked with anything you need. It is everything I was hoping for, especially being right on the lake with access to kayaks. The best part was not being near busy tourist areas.

Perfect lakehouse

Beautiful property with gorgeous views. We enjoyed kayaking and the hosts responded immediately when we had questions about where to kayak to etc. Bedrooms are a little tight and one didn't have a dresser for clothes but this was more than made up for by the rest of the house which has been recently renovated and is exactly as the pictures show with the big windows. Lots of fun games as well. Would love to come back every summer if we could! The islands are quite magical-lots of places to swim and we even popped up to Montreal for the day.

Annual Fishing Trip

I book a fishing trip each year for my dad, a friend of mine, and me. This year we stayed at this lovely property in Pelots bay. Interior was as advertised, clean, and had beautiful rooms. As others have mentioned, there are quite a few steep stairs down to the dock/water, so if you’ve got small kids/anyone with limited mobility, just be aware of that going in. For a fishing trip, the location was great. Protected from the wind, close to a boat launch in Carry Bay. When I had questions prior to arriving, they were always answered very quickly which I always appreciate. Overall, great place! Looking forward to returning!

Last minute retreat was perfect

ChatGPT My family enjoyed an entire week of both tranquility and fun. The spacious home was exceptionally clean, the beds were comfortable, and the well-equipped kitchen met all our needs. We found a perfect balance between unwinding by the firepit, evening fishing sessions, and leisurely cruises in the four available kayaks, keeping boredom at bay throughout our stay. Exploring downtown, we discovered an extraordinary store renowned as one of VT's most unique, offering a diverse array of products. The breathtaking views from the house and the scenic drive to the local pristine beach added to the overall experience. Without a doubt, we would eagerly return, as we are immensely grateful for this wonderful and much-needed getaway. Thank you once again for providing us with such a fantastic experience.

Comfortable

It was very comfortable. All the air conditioners and mini splits worked perfectly. The shower was great perfect shelving and water pressure. The house was so clean. The towels, the beach towels and the laundry facilities clean too! The kitchen had great pots and pans and a few storage containers which worked out wonderful. There were a lot of stairs down to the dock, but my friends and I (all age 60) actually enjoyed the exercise. We brought the lightweight Adirondack chairs down to the dock because we didn’t want to sit out back at the fire pit. We wanted to be near the water. There were 4 of us so it worked out just right. The view from the kitchen table was spectacular.

Great remote cottage to stay

Over all we had a nice time and perfect place to be if you like less people. Kids had a lot of fun kayaking and fishing. Everything in the house worked as it should. Lucky we were able to use the grille tank as a back up because the stove in the house ran out the last night and day there. Thank you for helping us enjoy our vacation in Vermont!

Great getaway!

The property manager Claire was wonderful to work with - accommodating and quick to respond! There was a welcome bottle of wine and a nice note waiting upon our arrival. The checkin and checkout process were very easy. The house itself is adorable - nicely updated kitchen and bathrooms. The views from indoors and the top deck are wonderful and I watched the sunrise from the dock ! We enjoyed our breakfast on the upper deck with stools overlooking the lake. Location is quiet and safe. The house is 2 stories with a staircase that can be challenging to navigate if you have mobility issues, just something to keep in mind. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return again !
