About this property

This home is located directly on the water, on the east shore of Lake Dunmore, tucked into a sheltered, half-moon bay. It is a modern, energy efficient, four season home, decorated and furnished by an artist. Located in the heart of Vermont's Champlain Valley, we are close to both Middlebury and Brandon. Lake Champlain is 30 minutes away, and The Green Mountains behind us boast world class skiing at Killington, Pico Mountain, and Sugarbush ski Resorts. Excellent golf, antiquing, gallery hopping and dining are minutes away from this serene spot.

Out front, a large, flat lawn, complete with a rope hammock, a campfire pit, is perfect for for recreation and sunning. The sandy beach is ideal for small children.
We're well off the paved road, at the end of a dirt driveway, so the only sounds you'll hear are the loons. Everything needed for relaxing is provided.

There is one bedroom with a CA King bed, a second room with two twin bunks, and a third with a double bed.

Outside there is a large stone patio with loungers, a cocktail table and umbrella, a picnic table, lawn chairs, and a Weber gas grill.

Sound travels very easily on a lake and I have neighbors. They value serenity and a quiet environment. I ask that you and your guests do too.

If you bring a dog(s) you must agree to keep it always under control and clean up after it. There are numerous neighborhood dogs and we want peace.

Please park prettily. You may have visitors and all cars should stay to the far right of the shared cul de sac. Parking by the upper barn is fine.

The lake house

Situated right on the lake which provided stunning views once the fog lifted. The house is warm, cozy and fully equipped. Due to the weather the streaming TV was appreciated and put to good use. The beds were oh so comfy and made for a good nights sleep. Our host, Ashley, was very attentive and we needed for nothing. Rufus has a forever friend in Daisy who loved visiting him, saying hi, then coming home and curling by the very warm fire. Our hike to Silver Lake was impressive, especially being so close, the water falls were spectacular and the climb was gentle. Overall a lovely get away for us all. Thank you.

Relaxing Lakefront Stay

We had a lovely 2 week stay at the lake! This was our first trip to Vermont, and Lake Dunmore was a great home base for relaxation and some day trips to other parts of Vermont. The house was quiet and homey - not one of those rentals where clearly no one has ever lived. It had everything we needed. There’s a deli and small grocery 8 minutes away, and 12-20 minutes away are Brandon and Middlebury with restaurants, breweries and stores. We enjoyed making s’mores, the row boat, the sandy beach entry to the lake, and yard games with our three year old. Bring some bug spray as the mosquitos were extra fierce due to the recent rains!

Lake Dunmore Gem

Had a wonderful stay at Lake Dunmore in this beautiful property in spite of the rainy weather. Easy access into water for swimming and kayaking/canoeing. Very nice furnishing and everything you need to make your stay nice. It's a perfect size for a couple, but the other bedrooms are a little small for other adults to stay - children would be fine. Lovely view out all the windows facing the lake. Great spot!

About the host

Hosted by ashley wolff

I'm a self-employed author and illustrator of children's books. I grew up in Middlebury, and have happily returned to the area after 34 years in CA to be closer to my mom. In 2015 I built a state of the art, energy-efficient home right on lovely Lake Dunmore.

I enjoy sharing my colorful, elegant, and artistic home with guests. It's possible we'll meet, as I have created a separate studio apartment in my studio/ArtBarn where I can often be found working on a new book.

I welcome up to 2, sweet dogs who love the country life.

Why they chose this property

My home has several features that make it unique. It is one of the few properties on Lake Dunmore that has a flat lawn with a sandy beach. Many homes around the lake are located at the top of a very steep slope with many steps down to the water. This makes it a great home for small children and anybody who has trouble with a lot of stairs.

My home faces south, so the sun is guaranteed to appear from dawn to dusk, but there is plenty of cool shade as well as airconditioning.

My home is in a wide, deep cove, sheltered from the north winds that sometimes create waves outside the cove. It is always calmer and warmer in the cove.
