We have been going to Island Pond for years now and this house has been one of the best rentals! The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of the water and having coffee on the deck during sunrise were my favorite parts. Mike was super communicative and made the entire process easy from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again.

This home was outstanding! The house had everything we needed and more. The host responded quickly when we reached out with exceptional service. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to kick back, relax, and enjoy the view off the deck overlooking the water. This was our first time vacationing in Vermont and had the best time. Thanks for everything!!

Hi Lisa, Give me a call before you book your next trip so I can set up a discounted rate for you! Appreciate your review and have had great luck with off season renters in the spring and fall. I never thought those times of the year would be good for renting but the hit-and-run amount of time that the renter is there is really beneficial for everyone. Hopefully talk with you soon Lisa!

Terrific getaway, a cozy lakeside cottage. Well equiped kitchen and comfortable beds. A perfect location for relaxing and also exploring all the North East Kingdom has to offer. Great outdoor options, swimming and paddling at your door step and extensive hiking nearby. Spectacular views from the decks. There is nothing like being directly on the water with your own dock! Island Pond is close by for resupply.Our host Jason was great, very helpful and communicated well. Thank you so much for sharing your place.

So glad you enjoyed your time at the lake house! Every family that rents with me has been great but some stand apart from the others and that is you and Paula! Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, it helps people make decisions on where to vacation. Best regards, Jason

Summer vaca

Our family had an amazing week at this charming lake house. Waking up to the loons while drinking coffee on the deck was almost as awesome as watching the sunsets at night. The owner was very receptive and informative. On a rainy day, the inside was cozy with the same incredible view from the living area. We would stay here again for sure!

Best location, right on the water, comfortable stay!

Waking up with the water in the center of your view is a feeling like no other. This house has been renovated nicely, is very comfortable and was overall lovely to stay in! The kitchen and other areas of the house are well stocked for your random stay needs, very thoughtful touches throughout. Thank you!

The house has a beautiful view overlooking the lake. It is very well equipped and comfortable. We had a great time hiking, kayaking, cycling, and relaxing at the house. This area of Vermont is lovely and has much to offer. Owners were very helpful and accomodating. Would love to come back.

Another great stay

We love this cottage and had another great stay here at the cottage. Love being right on the water. At Jason’s recommendation we rented kayaks from Clyde River recreation easiest rental ever they were delivered within an hour of calling and had them for the week. Hiking is near by and went on a bass fishing tour on Lake Memphremagog as well as Jay peak water park. Thank You Jason for such a great place to stay.

Spectacular place to play and stay!!!

Beautifully decorated and clean. Enough beds for everyone, furniture was comfortable. The dock was perfect for our 22 foot boat to be tied up to for the week of tubing and sunset cruises (oh and picnic lunches at the island). Great BBQ grill, well stocked kitchen with dishes, pots and pans. Morning coffee on the deck as the fog rolled off the pond was as magical as the pink and orange sunsets we got every night!!

Great house, great location

It is a lovely lakeside house with a beautiful deck with wonderful views. The lake is very clean; we enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. The house is well equipped and exactly as described by the host. A second bathroom would have been helpful, otherwise great. Will definitely consider coming back!

An ideal spot for any season!

It was marvelous to be in such a beautiful setting just as the leaves were changing. The house is cozy with an incredible view. Great location for walks in the quiet neighborhood and many nearby hikes for all levels of challenging. My favorite part was sitting on the terrace--when it was warm enough--or on the couch and staring at the gorgeous lake, dreaming of coming back in the summertime! Jason was a terrific host--very accessible and helpful.

Lovely bay window in the living room overlooking the pond perfect for viewing morning sunrise!

Jason and Kaitlyn left a welcoming note along with homemade cinnamon buns and a bottle of wine. Instructions on what we needed to do and when were clear and concise (i.e. garbage removal, access). The house was clean and very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay and would definitely stay here again!
