This house at Lake St Catherine was the perfect family vacation. My husband, my 3 teenage sons and myself spent a memorable week at the home of Peter and Marie. I can't say enough about their home on the lake. The house was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you needed to cook for the week for your family. The three bedrooms were well appointed, closets in every bedroom and plenty of storage for the week. There were bedspreads on each bed with pillows, though we brought our own. There were two full baths. The open floor plan of the living/eating area was perfect for our family to spend time playing games and gathering together. There is a T.V and DVD player, though we did not plug in either for our stay. We actually enjoyed spending the time "unplugging"...for the most part! Cell signals were very spotty, and there was no WiFi during our stay...though Marie and Peter were getting it installed the day of our departure. Board games, puzzles and cards were provided, which occupied our time on the "rainy days." The neighborhood is so quiet. At night, you can't hear a sound. I even heard loons calling out on the lake a couple of nights! Then there is the lake....BEAUTIFUL! It was so clear. You could see right down the bottom. We went in every day, except the day we arrived. There was a kayak and canoe were provided, but bring your own life jackets. We picked up 3 at Walmart for $10 each. The boats were easy to take in and out of the lake. We really enjoyed floating in the lake on rafts that we brought, though there were also plenty of rafts that were for use on the dock. Be sure to look out for the eagle when you are at the lake. It truly is a "take your breath away" moment when you see him fly across the lake. The grocery store was about 1/2 hour drive from the house and the Walmart about 40 minutes. We did not bring our food, and went out a couple times while we were there. The town of Manchester was a fun rainy day trip to walk around and look at the shops. Camp Rockytop was truly a peaceful, lakeside retreat that my family truly enjoyed. We will have lasting memories from our week in Vermont. Many thanks go out to Marie and Peter for sharing their home with others!! The Mendes Family
