About this property

Best View on Malletts Bay

The ultimate in privacy on your own peninsula. Renovated Mid-Century Modern lake house (called the "Duck Blind") with all of the amenities for your family's vacation. The house if perfectly set up for two sets of adults in the upper floor bedrooms and kids in the downstairs bunk room.

Upstairs you will find, in addition to the two bedrooms, one full and one half bath, a chefs kitchen that opens up to a screened-in porch through three retractible glass doors with views of the boat dock, perfect for indoor/outdoor living. There's, a custom vermonter-made dining table that seats 10 comfortably, and a living area that opens onto the enormous deck with endless views of Malletts Bay. Downstairs, is a recreation area with a pool table, fireplace and couches for watching DVDs on the flatscreen TV, or playing board games on the large ottoman. The bunk room on the lower level sleeps 6.

Summer: Bring your boat as the property includes a 50' dock (with mooring whips for 2 boats) located in a private cove. Also included are 2 paddle boards, 4 kayaks and a canoe. Air conditioning, in addition to the ceiling fans in the upstair bedrooms and living rooms as well as the multiple sliding glass doors will keep your group cool in the summer heat.

Fall: located on 7 private acres with endless views of the lake and front row seat to the spectacular colors of the changing leaves and stunning sunsets.

Winter: when the lake freezes over there is ice skating, snow shoeing and cross country skiing just out your front door. Several major Vermont ski resorts are located within 80 minutes of the house including Smugglers Notch (50 mins); Mad River Glen (66 mins); Stowe (68 mins); Sugarbush (75 mins); and Jay Peak (80 mins). Three-zone heating and two fireplaces will keep your group cozy when it's cold outside.
