Absolutely adored the character and charm of this lovely cottage on the lake that had everything we could possibly have needed for a relaxing and restoring break. It took a few crazy windstorms to remove us from the glorious deck/shore view and watching all the wildlife (while munching on delish cheese curds from the creamery up the road). I will definitely be back!
This cottage is the perfect if you want peace and quiet. It was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the area and did a variety of outings. I love the artistic flair of the owner. Laurel was great in terms of dealing with any questions I had. We will totally return to this adorable cottage with absolutely beautiful sunset views.
This is an adorable cottage. Rustic but adequate. There's a porch overlooking the lake and the sunsets were gorgeous. It's surrounded by beautiful farmland and near the college town of Milford with restaurants and art etc. We did have rain 3 out of the 5 days but even then it was nice especially when the sun blasted through illuminating the greenest grass I've ever seen. There's only (1) Queen bed and (1) twin and the bathroom is small and the shower very small, but we were there for the view and that we got! The host is super friendly and helpful with suggestions etc. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Very pleasant accommodations, and a quiet and scenic location. We plan on coming back but for a longer stay. Many thanks.
Lovely home that has everything you need , located on a very secluded street . you can feel that this home is loved : has lots of great books and beautiful paintings ( home is owned by the artist ) Very cozy with a lot of character and overlooking Lake Champlain . Beautiful terrace . Local stores sell very good produce from nearby farms its organic and very tasty . great hiking at the Green Mountains for people who like forest ; trails are empty ( but about an hour away by car) Or you can walk around Middlebury that is 25 minutes away. we absolutely enjoyed our stay. The owner is a pleasure to communicate with:) Thank you, Laurel!
What a beautiful little place⊠if you grew up spending lots of time in the Catskills and Adirondacks like I did, it will feel like home.
The views of the lake and sunset cannot be beat, and the cabin is decorated so lovingly and with such pizazz (Laurelâs artisti talent is clear).
And the BOOKS⊠so many books to leaf through. I reserved this rental for myself, my husband, and our two dogs with the plan of exploring nearby towns but mostly relaxing and reading (which I never seem to be able to do at homeâŠ), and it did not disappoint. I did not go in the lake since VT had recently had a lot of rainfall/flooding, but there were two kayaks ready to go if we needed them. Thereâs no TV, but the wifi is fast, so you can stream on your laptop or tablet if you really must⊠but I recommend you sit outside and watch the hummingbirds whiz past while the chipmunks snack on their peanuts only a few feet away.
Laurel is a lovely hostâ she really wants you to enjoy the house and nearby area, and she is so responsive; I was sorry I did not get to meet her in person. I hope we can return next summer for longer. Being there made me feel like a kid again. A really special place.
Everything about this visit was exactly right. The owner was personable and quick to communicate, the setting was exactly as described and the house was comfortable. Located almost IN the lake, we were well entertained watching eagles, cormorants and terns fishing. My husband discovered HUGE bass just fishing from shore and our water dog was in heaven just paddling along the shore for hours. The local grocery store was adorable and had anything you needed. It is just a short trip to Middlebury for lunch or golf (beautiful course at the college - open to the public) and bucolic scenery all around. What more could you ask for! We will definitely stay here again.
The owner has taken great pains to accurately render the aesthetic and the amenities of this cozy, private, beautiful cottage. Read and believe. If it speaks to your sensibilities, don't hesitate--just go and enjoy!
We had an amazing time at this property. Adorable little place with an extremely accommodating host. Not to mention the beautiful views đ„°Hope to stay again in the future!.
We loved the location right on the lake with amazing views and sunsets from the spacious deck and Adirondeck chairs in the yard. The home more than met our needs for cooking meals and as a base to explore the greater Middlebury area, which we really enjoyed! Laurel was very easy to communicate with, and made great sight seeing recommendations, along with recommending the Pratt's store for essentials. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! Thank you, Laurel!!
This is a great place right next to Lake Champlain. Very clean house with everything needed provided. We absolutely enjoyed our sunset dinners on the deck waiting for Champ to appear (wink, wink).
Saw a bald eagle, cormorants, great blue herons and hummingbirds. We loved this place and hopefully can be back one day.
We were pleasantly surprised to find this wonderful gem tucked away in the trees with a beautiful view of the lake from nearly every window. Comfortable and very clean it was easy it settle in for our vacation. The full kitchen made meal prep easy and the fireplace kept the whole place cozy when it was cool outside. We love that this place is dog-friendly and our Labrador Retriever accompanied us. The beds were comfortable and it was lovely to be lulled to sleep by the wind gently singing through the tree branches. The best part though is the proximity to the lake. The serenity surrounds you and beacons you to go out for a kayak ride or simply sit on the shore getting lost in a book. This is a true place to decompress and unplug.
The cottage was amazingly peaceful and restorative. Having arrived after dark, to wake up the next morning seemingly touching the lake was breathtaking. As the listing says, cute and eclectic. The 3 of us had a great stay.
Now I want to move to Vermont. The beauty of it, and from this place, was breathtaking. Very comfortable cabin, comfortable bed, great shower, kitchen appliances all work well. Great wifi. You arenât roughing it here tho the place still has authenticity to it. It was really clean, too. Thank you Laurel!
This is a clean, cozy, cute, unusual, and easy place to stay. Anything you really need should be there or easy to find locally if you didnât bring it with you. FirstâŠ.the lakeâŠany day and all day a view that is remarkably beautiful. If you want to get on the lake Laurel provided kayaks and a canoesâŠ.donât miss that chance.
Things to knowâŠyou must be mobileâŠcar parking is up the slope to house and plan to carry belongings and purchases to door. Not suitable for disabled.
You must be okay with spiders and local wildlife. This is their home too so be good with that or this isnât for you. For me the chipmunks, red squirrels, and web weaving insects were part of what I loved.
Bring a checkbook. Local farms provide all sorts of goodies, meat, cheese, eggs, produce. Bring cash or check to support local farms.
We thought ahead and brought lanterns to light the deck. If the weather is good expect to want to spend hours out there.
Lastly. On cold mornings the gas fireplace warmed the whole house. Lovely.
You might never want to leave but explore locally. Middlebury, Vergennes , Crowne PointeâŠworth the trip.
OveralllâŠone of my favorite vacation spots. Just go
We enjoyed every minute here - reading playing cards, floating on the lake, watching the birds, and sitting by the fire.
A peaceful, rejuvenating retreat and a lovely host.
We loved everything about Camp Casey. The location was beautiful and private. Everything we needed was there in the cabin and in its perfect location. Watching the changing weather, light and wild life from the deck was heavenly. Th
