Rustic Lakeside Fun!

Lovely setting on the lake. The kitchen was lacking some pans for cooking for a large group. Plenty of kayaks and fun for all ages!

Fabulous week

We can’t speak highly enough about staying at Jenny’s property-the lake, the hiking, the mountains, Jenny’s hospitality. It was exactly what our family needed. Wish we could go back!

Special place

The lodge is everything described, made for a special reunion of old friends and their families. Beautiful lake, right across street entertained everyone and world class hiking in green mountains near by. Highly recommended.

Perfect lakeside vacation.

I've been to Vermont several times, but never before to Lake Dunmore and the surrounding area. What a pleasant surprise! I will be returning. If you are looking for days spent swimming, sailing, paddle boarding, and kayaking this property has it all there for you. The house is comfortable, clean, well equipped, and large enough for everyone to spread out. Honestly, you could spend an entire week just at the house. The closest small town, Brandon, has several charming small shops including a fantastic bakery and it's own brewery. Equal distance away is Middlebury, which although under construction, was fun to walk around in and had restaurants for dine in or take out. A short drive away is public access blueberry picking and some awesome hiking. We checked out Silver lake. Our hostess Jennie, was kind, helpful, and very responsive. Highly recommend.

What makes this property unique
