About this property

Welcome to our lake home: S’more Vacation. Our kids really enjoy S’mores around the campfire and do not want to leave the lake when we visit. We hope you enjoy your time on the lake as much as we do.

Please enjoy your stay and use of the following; paddleboat, 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, life jackets, direct lake frontage, dock for your boat or a rental from Woodard Marine, fire pit and firewood, complimentary S'more starter pack with disposable wood marshmallow sticks.

Enjoy your privacy on Johnson Spooner Rd which is located on the west side of the lake across the float bridge. This is a dead end road and quiet. Perfect for walking, bike riding, and exploring hiking trails around Loves Marsh. The north end of the lake is perfect for kayaking or paddleboards. It is often much calmer water than the south main body of the lake.

Our Lakehouse sleeps 9 comfortably with 4 bedrooms. 1 bedroom is on the first floor for ease of access. Enjoy the lake and mountain views off the deck while dinner cooks on the BBQ! Fishing direct from the dock. Internet included, browse the collection of DVD's, or bring your own streaming service. Central A/C and heat. Well water with UV light filtration to ensure it is safe to drink and cook with.

For fun in the summer flag down the ice cream boat which makes dock stops or schedule the Lake Bomoseen Tap room Tiki Boat to pick your group up from the dock.

New owners as of late summer 2023 that are looking to build on and improve what was already a great property. If the house looks familiar it was previously rented under the name Hocus Pocus and we welcome back guests that have stayed in the past.

During peak summer season Memorial Day through the end of September we are offering weekly rental stays. Saturday night through Saturday morning. In the off season 3 day minimums are available.

Driving distance to NY and VT destinations; Lake George, Ticonderoga, Saratoga Springs, Manchester, Dorset, Woodstock and others. We are an active family who like to explore the area and go on adventures. Any questions about destinations or activities just ask as we would be glad to offer recommendations.

For larger groups or multiple families the lake house next door can be rented as well;

Great Stay, Will Be Back

Fantastic house! Super clean, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and living area. Exactly as listed except the location in the lake is even better than advertised. Can’t wait to return in summer.

Fall Foliage Family Reunion

We had a mixed age family group staying at S'more House for a family reunion and everyone had a blast! My husband and I live locally but did not have enough space to accommodate everyone and we could not have asked for a better place than S'more House to meet this need. It was easy to communicate with our host who responded quickly and the hand-drawn welcome note made us feel right at home. The house itself was delightful. It had ample space to easily sleep the 8 extras in our group and wonderful space to hang out and play games for old and young alike. And the lake was gorgeous! The group made use of the dock, the kayaks and the paddle boat (even though the October weather was too chilly for swimming.). Highlights of our family reunion at S'more House were playing charades in the game room, watching our teens gain confidence on the kayaks, and roasting marshmallows and watching the lights in the marshmallow fire. Nearby highlights were the Zen Gardens and Mt. Zion of the Taconic Ramble which I recommend to all. The Farmstand Cafe in Castleton served a delightful and delicious breakfast/brunch. We are so glad that S'more House was available to us and we highly recommend it to all! -Sally

September Get-Away

The perfect place for a Fall Get-Away! We spent 4 relaxing days visiting nearby family while still having a place to call "our own." There were plenty of places to relax inside and out - from the family and living rooms to the deck, dock, and level grassy lawn. We enjoyed them all! And the nearby hiking opportunities were wonderful - the Castleton Rail Trail, Taconic Ramble State Park, Half Moon State Park, and Bomoseen State Park. We would definitley come back again =)

Amazing family vacation

This gem of a lake house (S’More Vacation) was the perfect location for our family vacation. The house is spacious and comfortable and has all the comforts of home. What makes this location extra special is the beautiful lawn that is perfect for games and fires, which leads to a dock overlooking Lake Bomoseen and the Green Mountains. The swimming area is very easily accessible and very clean (no milfoil); great for swimming, fishing, and water sports. This part of the lake was also perfect for kayaking, fishing, and other fun activities. We hope to return to this great location in the future! 5+ stars!

Friends wedding weekend

The location of the house is magnificent. Every morning you can walk into the back yard and sit on the dock and watch the water slowly move. It was the perfect getaway with friends to celebrate a wedding. It was like being at the spa for the weekend with how relaxed we felt.

Great stay in the Green Mountains!

I booked a long weekend at Lake Bomoseen as a birthday trip, and our stay at S’More Vacation was great! Eric was super flexible and communicative, making check-in easy, and whenever we had a question we was always available. The house was clean and the location perfect. I really liked that we were on the western side of the lake (as there is a highway on the eastern side), so the stay was super quiet on the lakefront area was huge. It was only my wife and me on this trip, but the home has more than enough bedrooms for the entire family (plus a living room and a sun room), so we actually plan on booking again this summer to bring along the entire family. It will be a perfect spot for the kids!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Subik

My family and I live in southwestern Vermont and love to spend time at the lake. Turning onto float bridge road always feels like driving into a vacation.

Why they chose this property

Johnson Spooner is a dead end quiet road. The house is located away from any busy roads which makes for enjoyable walks. This north end of the lake is calmer and makes for a great visit.

What makes this property unique

Weather permitting time can be spent having fun on the lake or in the yard. Even if the weather does not cooperate enjoy the provided board games in the sunroom or just relaxing enjoying the view.
