Charming cottage located on peaceful Lake Bomoseen
*2023 upgrade: a heat pump offering both heat and air conditioning was added to the cottage in March of 2023. We are excited to offer this new amenity to our guests to make your time at the cottage as comfortable as possible!*
Welcome to Sunset Cottage! Enjoy a relaxing and serene getaway at this charming lakeside cottage which faces west and boasts beautiful evening sunsets that can be enjoyed from the screened in porch. The cottage is 2 bedroom, 1 bath and has an open kitchen and living space. This intimate setting allows you to enjoy the peacefulness of nature while still being close to historical Vermont towns.
Located 10 minutes north of Castleton and just under 30 minutes south of Middlebury, this cottage is in the perfect location for graduation weekend or enjoying a peaceful lake house getaway with your family/friends. The cottage is finished with an all pine interior boasting 12+ foot ceilings in the kitchen and living room areas. The front bedroom is furnished with two twin sized beds and the master bedroom overlooks the beautiful screened in porch and lake with a spacious king sized bed. The couch in the living room also folds into a queen sized bed if needed. Enjoy your morning coffee and evening glass of wine on the screened in porch which runs the full width of the house and has a porch swing as well as rocking chairs.
When you're here, we want you to feel at home so Sunset Cottage is equipped with all of the essentials. A Keurig coffee maker, kettle, numerous pots and pans, silverware, dishes, spices and oils, dish soap, sponges, towels (kitchen and bath), linens, and more. You only need to bring your personal items! If you are wondering if there is a specific item at the cottage please feel free to ask! At this time Sunset Cottage is not equipped with kayaks; however, you are welcome to bring your own kayaks, paddle boards, etc.
Sunset Cottage is remote; however, still equipped with the modern amenities you hope for. There is wireless available as well as a Smart TV (log into your own Netflix/Amazon/etc. accounts) and a DVD player is also available. There is a small library of DVDs you are welcome to utilize; however, we welcome you bringing your own in the event of a rainy day! There is not strong cell phone service at the cottage and a land line is provided (a rustic rotary phone in all its vintage charm!).
Sunset Cottage is located 2.5 miles north of Crystal Beach; a public beach for swimming and offers kayaks available to rent, picnic sites, volleyball and basketball courts, a playground and docks for boating and fishing. Additionally there are numerous state parks close by if you're interested in walks/hikes through nature or just want to enjoy the scenery.
Other local attractions include multiple restaurants just minutes away in Castleton, a 5 minute drive to Bomossen Golf Club or take a drive into the town of Middlebury and enjoy local shops and restaurants.
Check-in is 3:00pm and check-out is 11:00am. The cottage is not fully winterized and currently open for rentals May - October. There is a small electric fireplace as well as heat pump which offers both heat and AC.
Note: the cottage is waterfront; however, this particular part of the lake has a significant amount of vegetation and is not ideal for swimming. It is a great spot for launching a kayak or for dogs to play in the water. For swimming accessibility we recommend checking out Crystal Beach 2.5 miles south of the cottage.

About the host

Sunset Cottage was purchased in October, 2017 by my parents. My husband and I added a daughter to our family in September, 2017 and it was time for the Grandparents to have a local place to stay when they visit! We have since added a son and are currently expecting our third child. My husband, kids, jack russell terrier and I live 40 minutes from Sunset Cottage and will be serving as property managers for our guests.
Originally from Massachusetts, I moved to Vermont when I met my now husband in 2012. We are excited about this new adventure and sharing our family's cottage with guests. We enjoy spending time with our family at the cottage as well!

Why they chose this property
My parents had been looking for a small vacation home/rental property in Vermont. The search became more real when we told them they were expecting their first grandchild! They wanted a place that was quiet, serene, peaceful and had a beautiful water view. They looked at many places that offered lake access, but they were waiting for the perfect, quaint little cottage that was truly waterfront. After months of being on the lookout this property came up and they fell in love the first time they visited!
What makes this property unique
Lake Bomoseen is the largest lake in Vermont that is completely contained within the state's boarders. It is approximately 9 miles long and has a lot to offer! Sunset cottage is on the very north end of the lake which is very quiet with very little traffic. The main body of the lake is perfect for swimming, boating and fishing. This spot is unique because you would never know it is on such a large lake! There are only a few houses on this area of the lake and none on the opposite shore, so you are looking at mountains and not houses! Enjoy this peaceful setting!
