Handcrafted Log Cabin • Walk to Lake • Private Backyard w/Fire Pit • Sleeps 8
Discover a classic Vermont log home designed for groups seeking space, privacy, and easy access to Blueberry Lake. Two connected living spaces create an easy flow for groups, with private decks, a fire pit, and a 7-minute walk to swimming, paddling, and trails.

The cabin is designed around two connected living spaces under one roof, making it especially well-suited for groups who want to stay together while still having room to spread out.

It's true, we doing really love the cabin! It's been a lot of fun trying to think of all the details.
Thanks so much Greg for the kind review and for taking such great care of the place. I hope you can make it back again sometime!
A wonderful property in peaceful, quiet surroundings. Host has added personal touches beyond expectations - very responsive to our needs and requests. Personal touches throughout the property - made it feel like home away from home.
Truly a wonderful stay at the cabin. From the fully equipped kitchen (high end products), welcome basket full of goodies, big fluffy towels, phone chargers, comfortable furniture, Daisy paid attention to every detail! We’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone. A little remote, but worth it.

About the host
Hosted by Daisy Scarzello
This cabin was my father’s, and I grew up spending winters skiing and summers swimming at the lake. I loved Vermont enough to move here after high school—and never left.
Restoring the property, tending the gardens, and finishing my father’s projects has been a family effort. It means a lot to share this place with guests and see new memories made here.
When we’re not working on the property, we’re usually adventuring with our three girls—biking, swimming, building snowpeople, or hunting for salamanders. And in quieter moments, you’ll find me dreaming up the next project with my husband or digging into the garden.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood holds decades of family memories—ski days, lake swims, muddy spring hikes, and stargazing nights on the porch. It’s close to all the adventure, but still feels tucked away and calm. We love the easy access to Blueberry Lake and the short drive to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen.
What makes this property unique
woodworker, I grew up appreciating fine details—and I’ve poured that into every inch of this home. From thoughtful interior touches to well-tended gardens, nothing here is overlooked.
Guests often tell us the difference is in the details: dry wood ready at the fire pit, a fully stocked kitchen for that first cup of vacation coffee, essentials you may have forgotten, and everything you need for a relaxing soak in the jetted tub. We want your stay to feel easy, comfortable, and cared for.
Another unique perk: the cabin sits across from our Alpine Apartment, giving groups the rare option to rent both spaces for weddings, reunions, or trips with friends. With only three properties on our quiet road—one unoccupied—the setting feels peaceful, private, and distinctly Vermont.
