The cottage was exactly as pictures, and the perfect spot for my activities. I like to Walk, Kayak, Fish and Read. I felt very safe, and relaxed. There is nothing I can think of that I wish I the cabin had that was not there. Fantastic stay, and would look forward to doing again.

The location, accommodations, & check-in were wonderful. We loved sitting on the dock in the morning with a cup of coffee, listening to the loons bringing in the day, and in the evenings with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the tranquil water. Everything we were looking for in a weeklong stay !

We had a great time at this cottage! It was a perfect retreat for my wife and I. While it is on the smaller side, we had everything we needed! The view of the lake is AMAZING both from inside the house or on the dock. Lots of amenities like kayaks which are easily accessible. The communication with the host was perfect - she was quick to respond to any questions that I had. Highly recommend this home for anyone who is considering it!

Extremely relaxing and private. The owners were wonderful and very responsive. Perfect layout inside and out while being cozy and comfortable for 2. Great dock for relaxing on or docking your boat with almost 4’ depth at the end of the dock with a gradual dropoff. Great for swimming, tubing and fishing. We caught 4 species of fish with luck every day. We highly recommended and would definitely consider visiting again.

Ideal small cottage for a lake vacation

I stayed at the cottage for a week in August, as a base for visiting family and friends, hiking, and relaxing by the lake. The cottage was exactly as described--pretty, well-designed, and comfortable--at a beautiful and quiet location right on the lake. Linda was quite responsive. The place is small, as described (one bedroom), but perfect for my needs

The cottage was exactly like the pictures.

Everything was great. Our vacation was very relaxing. The lake was beautiful. The house was perfect. You always get a great view of the lake because of all windows. We had our concerns about the spiral staircase before we got there, but there wasn't a problem at all. The owners built a great place for anyone to stay. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a calm and relaxing vacation!

Thank you for your comments, specifically noting the spiral stairs. We include a photo of it so that all prospective renters are aware that it could pose a problem for those people with mobility problems.

Lakeside Retreat

This peaceful cottage at the water’s edge exceeded our expectations! Access to the lake is only steps away and we fully enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The dock was perfect for morning coffee and lounging in between swimming and kayaking. The patio was handy for meals and organizing biking excursions. We prepared snacks and meals in the well stocked kitchen and appreciated the lake views from the open dining/living room areas. Being in a serene atmosphere surrounded by nature was just what we needed to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend this place and plan on returning!

Total relaxation

This home was fantastic. You are literally right on the water. Quite peaceful and very relaxing. Fantastic place for two people to enjoy. Great area to explore and nice local restaurants. The kayaks are a definite plus. The owner is very quick to respond and answer any and all questions. You can find no better place to sit and look at the lake and watch the boats. Another plus was all the neighbors we met were very friendly and had great suggestions on places to see. We will definitely return to unwind and recharge.

This incredible place was exactly the sanctuary my husband and I needed during our July 2026 stay. We buried my parents that week, making it a very difficult time for us. However, we found peace, beauty, and quiet in this lake home. I grew up in Wells, so being right on Lake St. Catherine was a joy. Sitting on the dock, seeing the mountains and waters I grew up with right there...what can you say?We had everything we needed — a stocked kitchen, a gas grill, and plenty of room to relax. The spiral staircase is something to keep in mind when packing, and if you have mobility issues. However, Linda made everything super clear in the listing, and there were no surprises. Keep that in mind if you need to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom on the first floor.The bathroom was also well stocked! The shower was perfect! There are plenty of fans, which you will need during the unfamiliar hot summers Vermont has compared to when I was a child. So, make sure to use them! We enjoyed the loft bedroom despite no adjacent bathroom. We found the bed very comfortable!It was hard to leave this little piece of heaven when the time came. We lost most of the first day due to travel headaches flying into Albany, so the time we spent at the lake house felt even more precious.My husband loved the kayaks! We both enjoyed the zero gravity loungers on the dock!Linda sent lots of great information before we checked in. Can't wait to return!

Leaning Cedars Lake Cottage Getaway

Once again (4th time renters), my husband and I had a relaxing stay at this cottage. It’s perfect for a couples getaway. The cottage is exactly as described but better. Lots of natural light because of all the windows and although no air conditioning, we never felt like it was too warm, and we’ve been there during heatwaves with high humidity. The kitchen, though small has everything you need. There’s even spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar so it’s pretty easy to do your own cooking. The one large bedroom is a spiral staircase, so if you have difficulty with stairs this may not be for you, but we didn’t mind it a bit. The hardest part is getting the suitcase up and down, but otherwise no issues. The dock is great, getting morning sun but nice and shady in the afternoon. We loved kayaking in the early morning when the lake was oh so still and quiet. The floating loungers were great to relax on the water and cool down. We saw ducks, geese, herons and a bald eagle, so lots of nature to see. I’m sure we’ll be back again. P.S. My husband thinks the cottage needs a name like many of the others around the lake, so he’s decided to call it Leaning Cedars Cottage, hence the description of this review.

Awesome lake house at the water's edge.

My husband & I had a perfect week just chilling out in Lake St. Catherine & watching the Olympics. This home is small but very beautiful & well-appointed. My husband fished from the dock catching (& releasing) a northern pike & bass. We waded into the lake daily from the stony shore & spent hours just bobbing in the water-it was wonderful! We cooked all of our meals there finding everything we needed in the kitchen. The multipurpose oven was new for us but performed nicely. We originally hesitated to come due to the spiral stair & only 1 bathroom. We are in our late 60's but found the narrow stairway surprisingly secure to navigate. One suggestion for anyone who may be a light-sensitive sleeper is to bring a sleep mask. The many windows & skylight keep this home light & bright. We had a couple hot days but the fans kept us comfortable. We tried the kayaks but they were too small for my 6' husband to use, so we we mostly enjoyed the swimming. On our 1 rainy day we enjoyed the TV, a puzzle, & reading. It was really a wonderful relaxing week! The host is very communicative & attentive. The instructions for the house are well-developed, comprehensive, & clear. The neighborhood is quiet, the lake is gorgeous, & we wish we were still there!

The house is absolutely beautiful! Lots of natural sunlight comes in through the windows during the day, the surrounding area is so quiet which made it perfect for relaxing, we loved sitting on the dock during golden hour to watch the sunset, the home is packed with wonderful reading material/games/and media options, and everything was perfectly described. The view of the lake both inside and out was breathtaking. The host was extremely communicative and made sure to wish us safe travels before arriving and after we left. They are incredibly kind and professional! Highly recommend them. The house was nicely tided when we showed up and the informational packet they left us covered all concerns, questions, and otherwise. The spiral staircase is a bit tight but was not a problem for my partner and I. Unforgettable trip! We cannot wait to return!

We had an amazing week at Linda’s property. The views and surrounding landscape couldn’t be beat, especially in foliage season. Linda was kind and communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Very much hoping I find my way back Sooner rather than later!
