Lovely and comfortable
Fern Lake is a small, hidden treasure conveniently located near Middlebury/Burlington to the north and Rutland to the south, with a scenic trip through one of the gaps access Mad River Valley. The area around the home is quite beautiful and is serene and comfortable. The house is nice - not luxurious but fully functional and easy to live in. The owners are very quick to communicate and attentive to whatever we needed to ask about. We loved morning coffee staring at the lake and evening conversation while sitting near the fire and staring at the lake.

Great Vacation
What a wonderful week we had using the kayaks, fishing off the dock, hiking nearby and eating some delicious not your run of the mill food as recommended. The house was clean and comfortable and the best part was that the house was very private with full view of the lake. Thank you Colin and Susan for making this available and your quick responses to our questions.

Perfect Escape
We spent 5 nights at Fern Lake and even though the weather was ‘iffy’ a couple of days we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The decks and docks are great, and the house is very, very comfortable and well appointed. We fished, kayaked a bit and enjoyed having our adult children visit us (we all live relatively nearby). We went to all our favorite restaurants in the area and did some cooking on the grill as well. We hiked to Silver Lake (from Goshen) for fishing and a picnic. Overall it was a top-notch experience and we’re hoping to return next year. Thank you, Colin and Susan, for a much needed and appreciated getaway!
