The property is absolutely dreamy and peaceful. The hosts were very kind and warm. We had a lovely dinner on the patio that we cooked on the grill, a fully functional kitchen, and all day access to a variety of kayaks and a big beautiful lake that was home to hawks loons and plenty of fish, and coffee on the dock every morning. One of the best stays I’ve ever had.

Quaint lakeside cabin tucked off of a private neighborhood road conveniently within a 30 minute radius of great hiking, towns, parks, etc. The grounds and views were beautiful, we loved getting to sit on the dock for sunset and kayak the lake. The hosts live on the property, and were always eager to chat and sent regular text messages. The studio is a book lovers haven, and the smell of old books greets you with all the nostalgia one could want- just dust them off and it’s a treasure trove. As a CS Lewis fan, I especially enjoyed finding some of his lesser known work. Our host let us a know a field mouse likes to occasionally visit the studio kitchenette, and while we didn’t get a chance to say hi, we did hear him rustle around a time or two! If you’re looking for affordable, conveniently located lodging with an epic view, this is your spot.

Lake access was the highlight

Definitely a basic cabin atmosphere. Bed was quite comfortable. Having a chance to kayak, walk on paths and sit on the dock by the lake was the highlight of the visit. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to reach if needed. Recommended for anyone who likes outdoor experiences without luxurious accommodations.

Weekend getaway

The best getaway spot ever! Madeline and her husband are so kind and welcoming and the cottage is the coziest place ever imagined. Close to downtown Burlington, but also so many activities at the cottage! We went paddle boarding and kayaking and the lake is so relaxing. 10/10 on the whole experience and will be back. Thanks again Madeline for hosting us, we enjoyed it so much. Also, let us know what type of coffee that was, it was the best coffee in the world!

Lauren, we LOVED hosting you and Val. We love it when guests take advantage of the lake and also venture out to Burlington and all the fun things in the area. The coffee was Starbucks Medium Roast. If you have access to Costco, it has a very good price on the coffee but you can also get Starbucks at many other stores. Do come back again! All the best as Val starts his internship.

Vermont Fall Trip

Madeline was very helpful and friendly, went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and welcome. The place was perfect, the closeness to nature and local attractions made for a wonderful trip. We loved the lake, and the Kayak, Dock, and Stand-Up Paddle Board were an unexpected bonus. We loved apple-picking at Shelburne Orchard, Church Market in Burlington, Stowe, Woodstock, Portsmouth, Ogunquit Beach, and Kennebunkport. The location was perfect for all of these adventures, and the cabin was exactly as described. Would definitely recommend!!!

An absolute gem!

We had a fabulous stay at the writers cabin! Madeline and Bill are such welcoming, kind, and attentive hosts and their property is absolutely gorgeous. My wife and I loved that we could enjoy the quiet peace of nature while still having a convenient home base to explore all of the nearby areas. The history of the cabin is so interesting and we spent more than one evening exploring all of the old books that line the walls. We travel a lot and I have to say that this cabin is definitely among the top of our favorite stays. Amazing through and through!

Lovely little cottage!

This is a fantastic little cottage with a lot of funky charm with an affordable rental rate. There is an abundance of large windows that open the space right up and let in all the wonderful sounds and smells of nature. All the basic necessities were provided, plus some (grill, firepit, boats, etc), and we didn't want for anything. The lake is just a few steps away and the hosts provided several boating options for noodling around beautiful Lake Iroquois. There's also a dock with lounge chairs that are perfect for sitting and enjoying a cocktail right on the water. We're definitely saving this listing for a repeat visit.

Deep in the Woods

After a mile long drive on the private narrow and hilly dirt road we arrived at the lakeside cabin and were met by our hostess, Madeline. She was very welcoming and after introductions offered us a tour of the site. She and her husband, Bill, occupy the larger of two cabins on a lake surrounded by a dense forest of mostly very tall pines. She led us down to the lake where she pointed out a rowboat, paddleboards and a canoe, as well as a dock with chairs, all of which we were welcome to use. Lifevests, required by the state of Vermont, were available when using the watercraft. Cyndi, my wife has a hard time walking on uneven ground and was offered walking sticks for our stay. The cabin was once a one-room writer's studio, built for Madeline's father in 1949 and later expanded by the addition of a kitchen and shower. All that was needed for eating (less food), sleeping and relaxing was provided, as well as an extensive library, TV, CD player and radio. A deck with table and chairs wraps around 3 sides to provide a view of the lake through the trees. This place provided the seclusion and quiet that we wanted for our vacation, but with easy access to Burlington, Shelburne and the smaller attractions to be found locally. We live in the high peaks of the Catskill Mountains of New York but truly enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy a different rural environment, as well as to meet our gracious hosts.

Woods, Lakefront, & Did I Mention Books?

If you are looking for a House Beautiful stay with immaculate wall to wall carpeting and sterile, air-conditioned splendor, please look elsewhere. However, if you value generations-deep family tradition, a lakefront left native for the health of the lake as well as the comfort of residents, a small, wood-paneled and beamed cottage with lots of easily opened windows and screen doors and wall to wall books, this is your getaway. Sit on the ample deck and enjoy the scent of the hemlocks and pines or get out on the lake with the handily provided kayaks and canoe (paddles & safety jackets provided). Walk along the quiet road & trail to the nearby beach, or cookout on the grill (charcoal & lighter provided). Start a fire in the lakefront firepit and share the afternoons with the loons or the evenings with the owls. Indoors is compact – fully equipped kitchen with gas range & oven, ½ fridge, free standing freezer, counter space, a dated spice rack, more books – and, surprise, the cottage’s shower! As our really excellent hostess explained, the cottage was originally a one room writer’s escape. When it was expanded, some architectural flexibility ensued. The great room contains a comfortable queen bed, a built-in narrow 6 foot + sofa below wall to ceiling bookshelves, a wood stove, electric heater, tables, one with a TV screen & limited channels, if you must. There are plenty of electric sockets throughout, great internet, and one small bathroom. Negatives? Bathroom, shower, kitchen were all very clean and well-supplied. As with any older home, there is the occasional spiderweb and a warning about mice. Bins are provided to protect breads, etc., but we never saw any critters. The road into the cottage is an adventure – not recommended to arrive the first time after dark. Otherwise, we consider this place a real find. We loved it and hope to return!
