About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect for a peaceful get away in clean fresh Vermont air!

This cottage is nestled in the mountains of Woodford VT, in a private location directly on the lake. You will experience sheer delight during your stay at the Honey Bear Lake Cottage!

Choose from multiple sizes of beds to sleep, in each of three separate rooms. Enjoy brand-new stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen as you cook your favorite dishes. There is also a brand-new gas grill on the deck. The kitchen is fully supplied, just bring your own food. Condiments such as ketchup, mayo, etc. are available. Dine indoors, or al fresco on the deck.

Sit by the propane firepit outside on the deck or start a real fire to roast your marshmallows in the pit by the lake. Rock yourself to sleep on the glider swing or sit on the bench in the corner to meditate! The frogs will sing a song to you.

Jump in the three-man canoe for a cruise or take the kayaks for a leisurely spin around the lake and take a world around the lake on the paddle board.
There is a TV in the living room, as well as one in the upstairs loft bedroom. Play a board game in front of the propane fireplace in the cozy living room.

All fresh linens are supplied, including plenty of towels. Also provided are toiletries and a hairdryer.

In winter months, enjoy ice skating and ice fishing on the lake, or bring your snowmobiles. The entrance to the VAST Trail is up Mountain Road through the power lines. Cross country skiing is available at Prospect Mountain, just a one-minute ride away.

Take a break from the magic and drive down the road in either direction to neighboring towns. Bennington and Wilmington both have plenty of places to shop, eat, and enjoy some sightseeing and history.
Few minutes away is the Mountain General store if you need some basics and help support local business.

We are here to make your stay the best you have ever had. Let me know your needs, and It will be my pleasure to book your stay right at this moment...you no longer have to search anywhere else!

look forward to hearing from you soon!
Kindly,
Linda Jane

P.S. If there is no availability at the Honey Bear Cottage for your dates, if you would like an alternate choice, or you require two rentals for a larger group, please check out my other rental just down the road...Linda's Lake House (VRBO #505053).

Loved our day here. Clean, cozy house with a great bonus room and 1/2 bath upstairs for kids/ teens to hang out. On a lovely pond, quiet neighborhood and spacious yard. Fire pit was great and plenty of seating on the deck. We didn’t use the kayaks/canoes due to our short stay, but wish we could have. Easy check-in/ out, communication with owner was quick and seamless. Hope to stay here again.

We had a great time at our Honey Bear cozy cabin; it was excellent. Our host, Linda Jane was awesome and kept in touch with us anytime we needed anything. Thanks Linda for all the goodies! The place was very clean and had everything in there we needed plus a lot of things we never thought would be there; it was great! The location was awesome since we had a big family get together and most of them stayed at Woodford State Park, which was only a mile down the road. It was so nice and close and those staying in lean-to’s and tents, were a little jealous of us! Especially Sunday morning, waking up to pouring rain. Thanks again, Linda Jane. We will definitely be back!

An All-around Winner!

What a lovely stay! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and it was very clean and well organized. The photos don't quite do it justice. Peaceful lake views all day with mountains in the distance - what's not to like? We used the queen bedroom on the main floor and the bed was so very comfortable. We were there for two weeks, so we definitely used the kitchen - again, a well-planned space and well stocked. We hope to be there again!

Great place and so peaceful

The Honey Bear Cottage is adorable. The cottage is well stocked and immaculate. The adjustable bed is extremely comfortable. We did not get to use the fire pits or the upstairs bedroom but we did get to enjoy Big Pond, using the kayak and pedal boat. The hostess, Linda Jane is very attentive to your needs. Watching the stars from the deck is amazing. I would love to stay again. Very relaxing!

Superb Retreat!!!

I can’t say enough about LJ - she was very communicative & very pleasant. Honey Bear cabin was better than the pics. Great place for dog/s to swim - very secluded. Also great for the little ones. You have to go out pretty far for it to start getting deep. It rained most of our stay so we played a lot of games. (some we brought- some she had.) We even played Monopoly in its entirety. We went out to eat in Bennington & Wilmington. There’s no dishwasher at Honey Bear Cabin - but that didn’t make a difference, we brought plastic ware & paper plates so it wasn’t too bad. The queen bed downstairs was amazingly comfortable - I didn’t even move - I usually toss and turn!!! The cabin is well decorated & so cute!!! Such a fun time, even with the rain. Thank you LJ for sharing your space. 😉

Ski weekend

Linda Jane’s place is absolutely wonderful! The house was sparkling clean and had everything we could need for a weekend ski getaway. Also situated on a scenic pond in a quiet neighborhood. About 30 minute drive to Mt. Snow. Only thing to note, the cabin is a bit open concept, so Linda Jane kindly provided a divider to allow for more privacy between the downstairs bedrooms. We had a great weekend with friends and would love to plan a trip back!

Thanksgiving Getaway

If you're looking for a nice late fall weekend getaway or even a lengthier stay in a charming little lake front cottage, than look no further! We arrived to beautiful snowy scenery with a lovely view of the lake (which was just beginning to freeze over for the winter) and a welcoming note accompanied by a delicious bottle of red! Thank you, Linda Jane! The cottage was fully stocked, clean, and very warm and cozy, with just the right amount of rustic feel you would expect from a lakeside cottage. We had a great time exploring the area visiting the local shops, restaurants and of course the general stores in almost every town along the way. The town of Bennington has a few local breweries and a local distillery, both with good food and drink. It was a wonderful relaxing trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better host. Hope to return for some winter and summer fun in the future!

Vermont Lakeside Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this warm and inviting lakeside home. Sitting out on the deck early mornings and evenings accompanied by the firepit and picturesque autumn lake was especially peaceful. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and got out on the lake in the paddleboat. The home is cozy and inviting. The upstairs loft is so beautiful and we had to take advantage of sleeping up there with a view of the lake out the window. The host was gracious and communication was easy. The surrounding area was beautiful. We enjoyed scenic country drives, small town charm and of course the breathtaking landscape a Vermont October offers.

Labor Day Lake Vacation

The weather was perfect for enjoying this water front property. It was so easy and convenient to have plenty of boat and floatie options right on site, and the deck was perfect for mealtimes in the sunshine. Our teen and tween didn’t have much trouble navigating the ladder to the loft bedrooms, but it is something to note if there are less agile members of your party.
