Joe's Pond in West Danville is the largest body of water in Vermont that is considered a pond and is actually three connected ponds. Our "Camp" was built on the middle pond in 1904 as a getaway by Mr. Carpenter, an alleged gambler. It was the second camp built on Joe's Pond, about 15' from the water's edge.
Relax on the glider or enjoy your morning coffee in the enclosed screen porch overlooking the water. Enjoy the breeze on the covered side porch. Picnic next to the outdoor fire pit. Throw a steak on the gas grill. Sunbathe on the dock or lawn in lounge chairs. Nap on the hammock.
The pond can be seen from every window in this cozy camp, which retains much of the original charm with added conveniences: The new bathroom is heated, with a walk-in shower, adjustable height shower head and bath bench. The full kitchen includes an electric range/oven, a coffee-maker, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, variety of spices, condiments and pantry basics. Heat is provided by a Wood Pellet stove, thermostatically-controlled; pellets provided.
Enjoy 1/2 acre of woods and lawn, 175' of lake frontage, with a dock and shallow swimming area, 2 canoes and a rowboat (life jackets required and provided). Boat rentals are also available on the pond. Walk, jog or bicycle on the quiet lanes around the pond. Gas up, buy your morning paper, go for ice cream at the end of the pond: 2 country stores with café and craft shop.
Playgrounds and tennis courts are nearby. Also visit Cabot Creamery, makers of the World's Best Cheddar; Great Vermont Corn Maze; Danville Farmers' Market every Wednesday; Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium; Maple Grove Museum & Tours; St. Johnsbury Atheneaum Library & Gallery, Catamount Arts, and more!
Golf at the award-winning St. Johnsbury Country Club, as well as other small golf courses in the area.

Map & Owner's Profile
Blarney Cottage on Joe's Pond
Year Purchased: 1981
Why the Owner Chose West Danville
My parents bought Blarney Cottage 30 years ago and spent every summer here until they died. My husband taught our kids to swim and fish here.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
I love falling asleep to the sound of the water on the shoreline. The early morning sun is glorious. I like to read and sunbath on the pontoon boat, tied to the dock.
