Beautiful cottage overlooking Lake Willoughby with lake access

Welcome to “The Peregrine” - our cozy 2-bedroom getaway overlooking beautiful Lake Willoughby. This is our little slice of the NEK of Vermont paradise, and we’re so excited to share it with you!

Wake up to mountain views, enjoy breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake, and spend your days exploring the lake, hiking nearby trails, or just relaxing with a book. In the evenings, watch the sunset paint the sky and then settle in for a peaceful night under the stars.

A bright, open living space with cathedral ceilings and big windows and sliding doors for soaking in the views. Two comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen bed, the other with 2 twin beds - and a full bathroom. The master bedroom has a jacuzzi tub that’s perfect after a day of hiking or skiing, as well as a corner desk with a computer monitor. Our cottage is located at the top of the property, offering views and privacy, overlooking a grassy yard and gravel drive which leads down past 3 other cottages to the main road. Shared lake access is just across the street and the North Beach of Lake Willoughby is just around the corner. Central air in the summer and forced hot air in the winter keep the home comfortable year round. A propane stove provides ambiance and additional warmth. Sliding doors in both the living room and master bedroom allow for a refreshing breeze throughout the home.

Whether you love to ski, ice fish, snowmobile, or just snuggle up indoors, our cottage is a wonderful place for a winter getaway and is a perfect launch point for outdoor activities! The VAST snowmobile trail is accessible from the property, and the cottage's position at the top of the hill provides a great place for sledding!

There is so much to do during the summer months with the lake across the road for swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing, plus there are plenty of options for nearby hiking and mountain biking.

Guests have full access to the full living space of the cottage as well as the property grounds. Lake access is across the street where you will find a beautiful grassy area with lounge chairs, a fire pit, a dock, and a ramp. Bring your kayaks and launch from here! There is also a basketball court and tetherball available. Please note: there is an older swing set located on the shared grounds - it is not owned, maintained, or controlled by the host and is not recommended for use by guests.

Our cottage comfortably accommodates 4 guests, making it ideal for individuals, remote workers, couples, couples traveling together, or a small family with older children. Please be sure to enter an accurate guest count when requesting to book. We do require the names of all guests who will be staying at the cottage so we have an accurate record for safety and insurance purposes.

Vehicle parking is right next to the cottage, and if you have a boat/snowmobile trailer it can be parked at the bottom of the hill in the inn's parking lot. Please do not drive or park on the lawn. The septic system is located beneath the lawn, and driving on it can cause serious damage. Any damage resulting from driving or parking on the lawn will be the guest’s financial responsibility.

Our cottage is located in rural Vermont where deer, moose, black bears, coyotes, and other native wildlife are naturally present. Wildlife moves freely through both developed and undeveloped areas. Please do not approach or feed wildlife and do not leave food/trash outdoors. We recommend closing the doors when you will be away from the cottage.

This property is located in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, where winter road conditions can change quickly. For guest safety, a 4WD or AWD vehicle is recommended during winter months. The driveway is professionally plowed as needed. Guests may occasionally need to clear a small area on the porch if snow falls during their stay. A shovel and ice melt are provided for your convenience.

We encourage guests to purchase travel insurance, which can help cover unexpected situations such as illness, weather disruptions, or travel delays.
