About this property

Cozy 2br cottage with firepit, long lake views, lake access and shady/sunny dock

Come see, play and stay at beautiful Lake Bomoseen, Vermont's largest lake!! When you stay here at our beautifully curated, renovated cottage you will enjoy your inside experience as much as your outdoor experience. Grand on a tiny scale. Our home is unique, warm and elegant, fully equipped, yet still evolving. The property itself imperfect, but nestled into a cliff with a sweet firepit which offers wonderful views and privacy. From almost every room, beautiful lake views. Although a stretch, one of the reasons we bought this quirky property was because it reminded us of our travels to the Amalfi coast: steep cliffs, fast cars and a short trek to the water....IYKYK.

Our home is well situated. It has lake access, a private dock and two kayaks for your enjoyment (must wear life jackets). ( Dock is not set up for motor boats) Its walking distance to the LakeHouse Restaurant and Crystal Beach, a mile from the Taproom at LB Restaurant and Neshobe Beach. A kayak ride from all of those as well as Bomoseen State Park. 7 minutes to the town of Castleton, 10 minutes to the train station, 20 minutes to Rutland, 30 minutes to Middlebury, 40 minutes to both Killington and Okemo/Jackson Gore ski areas. Or as we say in Vermont right around the corner.

There are daily and weekly boat and jet ski rentals available (boating license required) at the Woodard Marina located right on LB.

For those looking for other Vermonty adventures, there are: local farms, golfing, wineries, hiking, biking, horseback riding, berry picking, theatre, art, funky random museums and rail trails.

Very clean and had all the essentials! Beds are very soft and comfortable. We enjoyed using the 2 kayaks but you do need to cross a semi busy road, walk down it a little and hop over the guardrail to get to the dock. Sunsets were absolutely stunning. Nice neighboring towns nearby to visit :)

Great location with fantastic sunset views! Our check in was easy and Greg and Domenica went above and beyond to make us feel welcome with some flowers and chocolates to help us celebrate our anniversary getaway!The cottage is nicely decorated and comfortable with all the amenities. The close location to several local eateries was a bonus!We took advantage of the kayaks on the private dock and enjoyed some fishing and gorgeous sunsets. Truly a Vermont gem!

Everything about this rental process and our stay exceeded our expectations. Wonderful beds and linens, comfortable furniture, records. So many nice touches. We felt very welcomed and comfortable. Everything was very clean and we enjoyed the complimentary coffee and treats. Great location, quiet, and a beautiful view of the lake from the cottage. Hosts were super responsive and helpful. I loved reading about what previous guests had enjoyed during their stay in the welcome book in the cottage. It spurred ideas for us. We look forward to visiting again.

Very cozy little place! Amazing views of the lake and very close to the restaurants on the lake. Place was very clean, comfortable beds and everything you need was there. My only suggestion would be a coffee maker. The drip style one there did not work well and by the time it made coffee it was cold. Other than that the owner was awesome to work with and will definitely stay there again!

Beautiful Lakeside Cabin

We felt so lucky to be able to stay here! The property is so well taken care of, and the hosts were incredibly responsive. We loved the decor and coziness of the place, and being able to see the lake from the house was lovely. Swimming off the dock, kayaking, and fishing were highlights for us.

The perfect getaway on the lake

What a great property! It was beautiful, clean, and stocked with everything you may need. Having access to the dock and the kayaks was really the cherry on top. The decor was lovely and we really enjoyed the record player that was accompanied by a great assortment of vinyls. Communication was prompt and the checkin process was seamless. Looking forward to returning next summer!

Great time at the lake!

One of the best homes we have stayed in. All the amenities needed and additional touches such as a few snacks supplied, firewood, and a variety of albums for every taste. What a nice home! The lake is beautiful, and we spent a lot of time kayaking. We ate at the Blue Cat which was very good, and the diner across the street from it is also very good. The owners of this home were very responsive. A wonderful time away!

Lovely Stay in Vermont

The cottage was very lovely, everything was perfect. The only problem we had was with Route 30. Very dangerous and noisy. Not the fault of the owners, but people may want to know about this area of concern.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Aug 2024
Thank you Mark for your honest review and for leaving the cottage literally spotless after your seven day stay. Very much appreciated. We understand your concern, in the spirit of transparency that's why we referenced the Amalfi Coast in our description: "steep cliffs, fast cars and a short trek to the lake". It is also why we do not allow pets or families with small children. We hope this did not distract to much from your vacation and look forward to having you and your family stay with us again. Warmly, Domenica and Gary Coger

Wedding at Lake Bomoseen

We rented this house for a weddding just down the steeet at the Bomosseen Lodge. The wedding party stayed at the Lodge, but we preferred a house. It is very close to the venue, less than a mile away. The house was very neat and well appointed with everthing we could ask for. Including a nice private dock with comfortable chairs to relax lakeside. Very easy to access the home and great directions and communication from the owner We plan on returning to the lake and would absolutely stay here again. Great Location!!

Idyllic Lakeside Retreat

We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! Thank you to the owners who thought of everything. From the extra comfy beds and bath linens, to the cute beach bag and towels, to the neatly organized wood and kindling for the fire pit, our stay was completely relaxing. The home was spotless and the decor pleasant. We loved ending our nights playing DJ, spinning the hits from the broad catalog of records available. What a great idea to share your record player with your guests! As if all of this weren't enough, the private dock (and kayaks) truly made our time special. The sunset and lake views were utterly serene and exactly what we needed to really decompress this week.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
House is cute and well appointed. The access area and getting the keys was full of cobwebs as was the rooms in the property. The access to the lake is down the fairly steep drive to a busy road that circumnavigate the lake which you cross and climb over the metal street barrier in order to get to the lake And dock area. We found it to be challenging and less than safe. The listing states a walk to the restaurant, but there is no walkway/sidewalk and I would highly recommend not walking on this road to get to the restaurant. When we arrived, there was a smell as if an animal died in the walls.IYKYK the screen doors for front and back doors were a design I have never seen before, but requires some getting used to. Why not just have a regular screen door? We did not stay for our whole booking due to the smell.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2025
Hi Heather. So sorry to hear that. We had never had these complaints before but understood. We do take great care in cleaning so we are surprised by the inside cobwebs. We did not see any when we went to the house to clean after your stay. Outside is another story. They show up everyday and we do our best to clear them before guests arrive. The screen doors are pocket doors and have worked very well in the small home as space savers. Regarding the smell we can't apologize enough. Maybe a mouse? It had largely dissipated by the time we went into the house. We take great pride in our little home so again we are sorry you had a bad experience. If you come back to Bomoseen let us know and we'd be happy to get you a gift certificate to a local restaurant. Best, Gary and Domenica..
