Classic Vermont Cabin on 2.5 acres Lake Frontage

Our cabin is located on 2.5 level acres that includes frontage on the northwest shore of beautiful Lake Dunmore. I have enabled a booking restriction on VRBO that prevents guests from booking arrivals and departures on the same day as existing guests' arrivals and departures. This is to give me an overnight stay to do cleaning, laundry, etc. and other things like cutting the lawn, minor repairs. If this is a showstopper for you, please don't hesitate to let me know and will try to make an exception for you.

My wife and I are the only ones that manage change-over between guests. VRBO has provided us with cleaning protocols and effective cleaning and disinfecting products recommended by the CDC for novel viruses, including Covid-19. We have adopted these cleaning protocols to provide you with safe lodging. We provide all renters at check-in an individually wrapped sponge, individually wrapped toilet paper and CDC approved cleaning supplies free of charge. We are continuing these practices even though pandemic issues seem to be fading.

The cabin has two bedrooms on the second floor, one with a queen bed and the second is a twin bed. The full bathroom is modern and on the first floor. The living and dining rooms have beautiful wood paneling. The living room has a futon if you need additional sleeping space for two additional guests. A propane heater is located in the living room on the first floor to keep you warm when the weather is cool. The hot water heater is a fuel efficient, on-demand heater so there is always hot water available if multiple people need to take showers, baths sequentially. The kitchen is well appointed with pots, pans, dishes, modern gas range and oven, microwave, refrigerator, utensils, all of the cooking amenities that you could want. Our wrap-around, screened-in porch provides an ideal location to enjoy the view of the Green Mountains on the opposite shore of the lake or to relax and catch up on your summer reading. The clean water for the cabin is provided by a well located on the property that we test occasionally. We provide free 1 gigabyte wireless internet. Our outside deck has a picnic table, several Adirondack chairs and a gas grill.

Our level 2.5 wooded acres provide easy access to the cabin and the lake and also more privacy than may be available at other smaller properties. The driveway is located right next to the cabin with space for 3 cars. Our lake front is approximately 50 yards from the cabin and is accessible by our private road. The lakefront has a dock suitable for a ski or fishing boat and a swim float. Our large fenced-in yard may be ideal for your family dog. Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the cabin.

Lake Dunmore is located just seven miles south of Middlebury and borders the Green Mtn. national forest. The area is ideal for swimming, hiking, road and mountain biking, fishing.

Cabin by the lake !
Beautiful area for short 4 day stay . Cabin was clean and cozy. Well stocked for pretty much anything . Only dislike was the bedroom was in a loft area with narrow steps , and a bit tough to navigate in the middle of the night when the restroom was needed . Loved the quaintness otherwise .

Third Stay & Always a Great Time
My partner, dogs, and I just got home from our third vacation at this cabin on Lake Dunmore. We always feel welcome and right at home, love the cozy cabin vibes, and spending as much time at the lake or hanging out on the porch to take in the Green Mountains. Can’t recommend staying here enough!

Couldn’t be happier with this quaint, charming cabin. Loved the wood floors , screened porch , and mostly the large fenced yard and the dock for ball throwing with our goldens . The area is so peaceful and quiet this time of year . Took a hike around silver lake . Loved every moment of this fall getaway , hoping to come back again.Many Thanks to the hosts !

We met Polly at the house for a quick meet and greet and orientation. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Grocery stores, shops, etc. are a brief drive. Enjoyed hearing the geese and owls and watching the mist rise from the water in the morning. Would happily visit again!

Just a really comfortable place. You can hang out at the dining table or front porch, classic. The view from the actual floating dock is one of the best on the lake.

Lovely Screened in Porch
Our favorite thing about the cottage was the screened in porch. I slept out on the twin bed on the porch every night! Kitchen was very well stocked with gadgets and spices. The on demand water heater ensures everyone gets hot water. The only “issues” would be the stairs to the bedrooms is very steep/narrow and no real grab able handrail, not good for people with any kind of mobility issues. The lake access was not the best as there is no “beach” area. It would have been nice to have stairs off the dock.

the true cottage vibe
The place is about exactly what you think of when you think of a camp to relax at. Really good kitchen and a really open feel to the dining area and porch. Great for sleeping. Possibility to get a good shorter run/walk in without having to go out on a highway. Walking distance to general store. And the floating dock gives you about the best view of the lake anywhere.

Wonderful stay!
Lovely property - we had a dog and the property is well fenced so we could just let her out to explore - which was good because sadly it rained a lot while we were there. We made the best of it and explored the area - lovely place to "come home to" every day!

Just perfect
We can not say enough wonderful things about our stay. Brian was there to meet us and do a walk though of the property and even helped us out with local places to go. He is a gem! Although it rained it was absolutely perfect. The yard gave our pups a place to run free but there was also cute areas to walk them all around the area. The views of the water are incredible. Just sad it was too cold to jump in... maybe next time. October was the perfect time to see all the leaves changing and breathe the fall air. The porch was great to snuggle up and read and relax. There was plenty of space for us and our 2 medium dogs. Kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. Everything was clean and cozy. They have thought of everything. We can not wait to return. Thank you for having us.

Gorgeous Fall Lake Stay
Our small family thoroughly enjoyed our fall lake stay at this cabin. We were close to hikes, corn mazes, farms (e.g. Billings) and had a comfortable base. Plenty of kitchen space and fully stocked with dishes and cookware. The porch was awesome for coffee and cocoa. We took a few spins in the canoe out on the lake, too. Absolutely everything we needed was here!

A favorite spot!
We have stayed here a couple of times and are looking forward to visiting again. The owners take pride in keeping their house clean, organized, and well stocked. They are also very kind and accommodating to their guests, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house is spacious and furnished nicely & screened in porch is a nice bonus. The fenced in yard is very big & it is perfect for our dogs & daughter to safely play! One of our favorite spots to stay! Thank you!

We are in our eighties and spent a wonderful relaxing week in June with our daughter and her husband. It is a pleasant traditional vacation cottage and is very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and the screen porch shaded by giant trees is delightful. We swam in the clear lake off the dock at the end of the private access across the street and launched our kayaks. The neighborhood was very quiet with little traffic and there were very few mosquitoes. Nice area to walk and there are nearby trails as well as a sandy beach at the State park. We would definitely return.

The sofa wasn’t very comfortable and the stairs going upstairs were not easy to get up. We ended up sleeping downstairs on the futon because we needed to be near the bathroom. The kitchen was very well equipped. The hosts were very helpful.

Lake Dunmore Getaway
First and foremost the owner, Brian went out of his way to handle all our little extra requests. Cottage is quiet and cozy. For us no TV was a little too quaint but luckily our daughter in law who lives in Burlington had one we could borrow and with our Firestick and streaming app we could watch our back home local news and a few other programs we like. The walk to the waterfront dock is easy, short and pleasant. Our Choc Lab thoroughly enjoyed all the swimming activities. The stairway to the upstairs bedrooms is steep and narrow. We are both senior citizens so its certainly doable just go slow and be careful. The grandkids and their parents can for a couple of nights. The kids absolutely had a blast catching small fish from the dock. However with 4 adults and 2 young kids its gets pretty crowded quickly. Finally the fenced in yard for your dog is a wonderful bonus. If it wasn't such a long drive from our home in Florida we would go back in a heartbeat!!
