Spectacular Cottage on the Lake

This is the 4th time we have had the absolute pleasure of staying in this cottage. It overlooks beautiful (and quiet) Lake Salem. The hosts always go above and beyond. Everything was clean and well-stocked from linens and towels to kayaks and paddleboards. We enjoyed stunning views, fishing, canoeing, stargazing, fire pits, and the hot tub. It was a lovely time with family and friends!

Perfect family vacation! Again!

Our 2nd family vacation here and, once again, it didn't disappoint. What a beautiful property and lake! Last year we never even used the campfire so this year we made it a point to have several campfires during our week. It is a truly special spot with plenty of seating wherever we want to gather. The house is perfect for a family gathering with a table that suits all kinds of game-playing, a downstair ping-pong table and plenty of kayaks/canoes for our large family! After our 2nd vacation here, we've still never used the downstairs TV room! No need with the many other areas to congregate.

Beautiful, relaxing spot. Gorgeous house, amazingly appointed, it doesn’t lack a thing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect place to have a long awaited (post pandemic) reconnection with our adult children. Plenty of space to spread out, and incredibly well appointed. Just bring your personal belongings and food and be prepared to relax on the deck or out on the lake. Loved it!!

Perfect Summer Getaway

Our family had a fantastic time at this lovely Vermont Lake House. The property description does not fully cover all this place has to offer. Fully equipped is likely my best description, there is nothing we needed to bring. The home is extremely well furnished, dining room table was spacious and our family loved the built in lazy susan. It made for great family meals and some epic card playing. Our very favorite part of the day was coffee on the deck. We took full advantage of all the seating options and that gorgeous view. We enjoyed all our play time on the lake and by the fire pit...nightly smore's were required by our group. Thank you so much for listing such a lovely property, I am still showing off sunrise pictures to my work friends!! Thanks also to our Hosts, you made everything so easy for our group!

The perfect home away from home!

Truly this was such an amazing trip for me and my family. Linda and TJ were so accommodating and so responsive to all the questions I had. The house was beautiful- you can tell the hard work they have put in and I am so glad they have been willing to share it! I loved the amazing sunrise in the morning and how the whole trip brought my family closer together! Great way to end the trip is the announcement of my older sister expecting a new baby!

Spent a weekend with high-school friends. Great place to relax, reminisce, catch up and make new memories. Took a drive, but other than that stayed at the house that had everything you need no matter the weather. Would definitely go back!

Vermont Lake House Surrounded by Brilliant New England Fall Foliage

I stayed at this beautiful lakehouse with my girlfriend and another couple, we fly fished the Clyde River, saw Lake Salem from a canoe, enjoyed a lakeside firepit, it was the ideal fall lake trip. What TJ and Linda have done with this house is rare to find! Its a beautiful home with massive windows facing the lake, and you can tell you're in a home that was thoughtfully put together & taken care of. Thank you for sharing this with us and if you're reading this, you won't find better!

Wonderful vacation!

The owner Linda is just lovely - she gave us a gift basket full of pancakes and coffee, let us check in early and leave late and was wonderful with communication for the entire trip! Her house is immaculate, scenic and has plenty of room for activities. Lakefront, fire pit, scenic fall trees, kayaks and even a window view loft space. We loved our time and didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this wonderful spot for a fall vacation. Thank you Linda and TJ!

Anniversary Getaway

The house is as pictured. The kitchen is well equipped ,nice living room couches, and good master bedroom bed. We enjoyed kayaking both Salem lake and Little Salem lake and fishing. Which we did catch small mouth bass and pickerel. We saw loons, eagles and large Herons. The sunrises were great too. Thanks

Perfect Getaway!

This property was perfect for our family vacation! The house is beautiful, clean with lots of space for everyone. The lakefront is gorgeous with plenty of great places to gather from sitting on the grass overlooking the lake to the large deck area with an abundance of chairs. The owners Linda & TJ were beyond accommodating. They are very in-tune to what a quests needs are which can be seen from all the fine details they provide for you stay, from all the fun amenities you could possibly need like paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, even a ping-pong/billboard table; to perfectly cut firewood ready to be used in the cozy fire pit right on the edge of the lake. In the house the beds are super comfy, the appliances are clean and up to date. There are so many comfortable places to sit, relax and see the beautiful views of the lake out the large glass pane windows! Our family had a great time in the lake and out, I would highly recommend this property to anyone; for families, groups or even couples looking for a step into nature and fresh water lake life! Thank you so much Linda & TJ for your wonderful hospitality and having us in your home!

Many thanks to Linda and TJ for sharing their lakefront home with us! It was the perfect place to spend a week with our adult children - kayaks, SUPs, ping pong, a round "game" table! We truly loved our time there. Exploring a new area of Vermont, daily creemees, sunrise & sunset kayak rides, evening games. We even saw a bald eagle! Many thanks!!

Stunning, Comfortale Lake-front home

We had 3 relaxing nights at this lovely lake front home. The rental was clean and had everything and more to make our visit enjoyable. We took advantage of the kayaks for early morning paddles, played ping pong during the rain, and ended our evening with a fire overlooking the lake. We highly recommend this property as a summer retreat.
