Unique: We offer a unique experience. There are not many of these lakeside cottage gems left because they just don't build them like this anymore. A quintessential 1930's era lakeside cottage which has kept its original charm. Come and enjoy the nostalgia... make memories of warm summer days spent on the lake, awesome summer naps, the sound of the Pinkletinks (peepers), geese honking, ducks quacking, and loons making their mournful cries, and fresh breezes..... anyone will agree it's a perfect setting for a family gathering, girlfriend getaway, and any celebratory weekends. This lakeside cottage will draw you in, wrap you up, and beg you to stay awhile. This cottage has been updated/preserved/renovated to include modern creature comforts.
There is no other place like it..

REGARDING COVID-19 - During travel ban time frames affecting your reserved time and if issued by Vermont, all bookings can be rescheduled with no fee and at the rate you paid.

Some additional promises/notes for this difficult time:
The house is thoroughly disinfected between stays.
There are plenty of amenities, including toilet paper and paper towels! ;)
Even though Vermont, and especially Plymouth is particularly remote and serene, travel may pose some risks and we want to play our part in #socialdistancing #flattenthecurve. Please be prepared to come directly from your home to ours.

As the virus spreads, its impact on small business is deeply felt. Small family-run vacation rentals is one of these businesses. We strongly encourage you to buy trip/travel insurance. In the event your scheduled time is prevented by Vermont, we will refund.

Stay safe,
Alecia & John
