About this property

After everything we’ve been through, don’t you deserve something really special?
Well, this is not a typical summer cottage…

Our year-round luxurious cottage is direct WATERFRONT on a 66-acre mountain top lake. Our fully appointed cottage sleeps 2-6 people, with 100 feet of private shoreline, only a few steps from the door. Designed for a couple, small friend group, or family with older children (over 12 years old). It has easy one-level living with a bedroom (queen) on the main floor and two separate sleeping spaces (full and 2 twins) upstairs in the loft. The open floor plan has sweeping views of the water and mountains at every turn, exposed wood beams, cathedral ceiling, and loads of natural light. Privacy is yours with a 12 ft tall hedge and fencing to create a natural barrier, located on a dead-end road, and the adjacent cottages more than 100 feet away. Enjoy the water using our canoe and rowboat. The level yard is great for lounging or lull yourself to sleep while relaxing in the hammock. Enjoy meals outside on the picnic table and grilling on the Weber.

Daniels Pond is a little slice of heaven with pristine "quiet water" (no large motors or jet skis allowed) and only 20 waterfront cottages. Soak up the peace and tranquility! Daniels Pond is well known for spectacular, romantic sunsets. This area is known as the Northeast Kingdom, named by the National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations as one of the most desirable places to visit in the United States. It is a nature lovers delight! Hike, kayak, swim, mountain bike & fish off the dock to your heart’s content! Great places nearby like Parker Pie Pizza and Hill Farmstead Brewery - just a few miles away! This is a majestic place that gives you a wonderful sense of getting back to nature and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

To keep everyone safe, ALL Guests must be fully vaccinated. With Kristi's medical background, OSHA training, and CDC guidelines, she will personally clean and sanitize the cottage for the safety of you and your family.

Welcoming place in a sweet location

Kristi and Ed are very attentive hosts who were communicative throughout the booking process and stay. When we arrived, they introduced us to their property which included a welcome gift basket of foods and chilled wine in the refrigerator for us. Kristi and Ed were more than gracious and willing to aid us in any way to make our stay more comfortable. The cottage was very clean and neat. The cottage’s kitchen was as well stocked as many home kitchens with dishes, basic spices, cooking utensils, toaster, coffee pot, tea kettle, microwave, pots, and pans, etc. The beds were comfortable. The shower curtain looked new and fresh. We appreciated the thoughtful toiletries in the bathroom for guests. During our stay we squeezed in watching the Women’s Final Four game which looked great on their large television, and had time for a board game that their table easily accommodated. The highlight of our time in Vermont was leaving the cottage for a time to meet up with friends who had also traveled to Vermont to watch the eclipse. The Moon and Sun did not disappoint! What an absolute treat! But, back to the cottage… If you are looking for a clean cottage, with attentive hosts, on a quiet pond, on a dirt road with other cottages nearby, where there is a good pizza place (Parker’s Pie) within a drivable distance, then this could definitely be your spot. Thank you to Kristi and Ed for your hospitality and for sharing your little slice of Vermont with us. We are appreciative.

Vermont: my new happy place

This was the most magical stay I could've hoped for. It was our first time visiting Vermont and I'm pretty sure we're spoiled now. Warm and welcoming, the property and owners were absolutely wonderful. The house actually felt like a home, as it should, so we were able to completely relax. Who knew foliage and northern lights peak at the same time. We had the pleasure of witnessing both over the pond. It was so easy to unwind and unplug, but the wifi was so strong I could also reconnect whenever I needed to get a little work done. This is the perfect place to truly get away and officially my new happy place.

Labor Day Weekend

This delightful cottage on Daniel’s Pond is fresh, clean and comfortable – and magical! On one of our canoe paddles, we sat for several minutes watching a great blue heron waiting for its lunch. The sunset reflected from the pond with magnificent pink and red radiance. Our hosts Kristi and Ed were beyond welcoming.

About the host

Hosted by Kristi & Ed Bride, Owners

The owners, Kristi & Ed are from VT. We have been married for more than 35 years and love this calm retreat that is our 'secret' on Daniels Pond. We grew up an hour away from Glover, near Montpelier, the capital city. Kristi has been visiting the pond with her family since she was a very little girl. We like to shop at Curriers Country Store, The Wiley's Store, Pete's Greens Farm Stand, and Burtt's Apple Orchard. You might pass us on the Mt. Pisgah hiking trail, bid against us at an Albany auction, or catch us floating the sunny afternoon away on the pond. We have fun by chasing a golf ball down a local golf course, standing in line for ice cream at Pick & Shovel, and eating a Strawberry Shortcake at the Irasburg Church Fair. One of our summer favorites (July) is a day trip to Magog, Quebec (Canada-so bring your passport) where wineries, spas, and Bleu Lavande (Lavender Farm) are located. We love exploring the towns of the Northeast Kingdom (& Eastern Townships of Quebec) and all they have to offer. We love winter too, Skiing at Jay Peak, Burke Mountain, Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and show-shoeing around the pond on a snowy day followed by a glass of wine in front of the fire!

Why they chose this property

We love the beautiful and unspoiled location, the quiet sounds of the Pond and close proximity to mountains and small towns. From May to October we like to shop for vegetables, eggs and more at farm stands on the side of the road and the many local Farmers Markets. Visit country stores, small family-owned shops, county fairs, festivals & church suppers. Make time to check out the Bread & Puppet Theater Museum, Circus Smirkus, Craftsbury Chamber Players as well as the many artists that reside in the area. This is where you get outside to enjoy hiking, biking, fishing and boating on some of the most beautiful land & water anywhere. In the fall, the leaves change color and the foliage is legendary - you have to see it to believe it! From December through April, skiing/riding Jay Peak, Burke Mountain, Stowe and Craftsbury Outdoor Center. And snowshoeing, ice skating and snowmobiling are available throughout the area. Jay Peak also has a huge, amazing indoor water park that is open year-round! Each spring brings the 'Maple Sugar Season' where VT Maple Syrup 'Liquid Gold' is bottled for all to enjoy on pancakes, ice cream & more!

What makes this property unique

Daniels Pond is so beautiful and this cottage was hand built in the 1980's by Kristi's Dad. He cut down the cedar trees on the lot and used them to build the cottage-all the wood you see inside, he put up by hand! As you can see, it is waterfront and has a small sandy beachfront on the edge of the pond, perfect for wading in the water slowly or sitting on the dock and kicking your feet. In the winter, it's perfect for Snowshoeing, Ice Fishing and Cross Country Skiing on the pond. This is a magical place to relax, reconnect with nature (and each other) and get away from it all. Don't you deserve A Getaway on Daniels Pond?
