About this house rental
Enjoy your stay in our beautiful cape on pristine Seymour Lake – one of VT's cleanest lakes! Directly across the street you have private access to 50 ft of lake frontage with a dock, firepit, & canoes/kayak for your whole family to enjoy! Relax on the two screened-in porches and enjoy the beautiful fenced-in backyard. This home is ideal for all four seasons. Endless access to swimming, hiking, biking, fishing and snowmobiling (VAST). We hope you love the magical NEK as much as we do!
This updated vintage cape has two bathrooms, four bedrooms and can accommodate up to 8 people. There are two bedrooms on the first floor (one Queen and one Full size) and two on the second floor (both Queens). A bonus room upstairs includes a TV, game table and a day bed, perfect for the kids. Enjoy 2 screened-in porches at the front and back of the house, and a large, nicely fenced in back yard. At the lakefront, there is a gazebo with chairs, a firepit, and string lights to relax while taking in the breathtaking view. There is plenty of parking by the house and since it’s located directly off Route 111, you don’t have to worry about treacherous driveways in the winter. The kitchen is stocked with new appliances and basic cooking supplies, including dishware, oil, S&P, and tea/coffee. We also have Amazon smart devices for guests’ use.
Guests will have access to the entire home, yard, front and back porch, and private lake frontage. Use the smart keypad for easy access to the house. We've got all you'll need to spend the day on the lake: an aluminum dock, beach towels, two canoes and a kayak to explore Seymour Lake by water! The house is also prepared for rainy days and winter months with a large variety of board games and puzzles for young and old, along with access to Wi-Fi and streaming services on the TV. We hope you can rest, relax and make beautiful memories in the Beautiful Cape on Seymour Lake!
Accessibility: There are two sets of five steps to reach the front door and two bedrooms on the ground floor. Two additional bedrooms are on the second level of the house, with a steep, carpeted staircase. There is a steep slope down to the lake frontage, which you can access by stairs or grass. The dock and water can only be accessed by stairs
The home was built in 1850 and maintains its vintage charm. The house is also directly on Route 111, so be mindful of cars when crossing the street to the lake frontage. This is a non-smoking property, including the screened-in porches.

We had the most delightful stay at this wonderful gem in the Northeast Kingdom. There were 8 of us and we were thrilled with comfortable beds and plenty of space. The house was immaculate and very well decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and met all our needs. We absolutely loved swimming, kayaking, and canoeing in Seymour Lake. Jenn communicated quickly and made our stay exceptional. We would love to return again in the future. Thanks so much, Jenn!!!

The family found "vintage cape" very comfortable. The kitchen appliances and setup was good. We were originally concerned about crossing the road to the dock and lakefront, but was not an issue. One family member had to work remotely 2 days with no problems using the wifi.

This listing was well kept and equipped. The two porches were an asset as it rained almost every day! Newport was close if we needed supplies or didn’t want to cook. We appreciated how clean it was and Jenn’s extra care. Thanks for sharing this home.

We have been coming to Vermont for many years to visit family and it's been difficult in the past to find a great house until this year! Loved the house, the location, the amenities and communication with host. We hope to rent again in the future.

We had the most amazing stay in this cozy Vermont cape! The location is right across from a beautiful lake and cute town. We were able to explore restaurants, the general store just minutes away, and other lakes with breathtaking views, even in the winter. Plenty of exploring to do around the area but we also enjoyed lazy days in the house as well. It was clean, comfortable, and the owners went out of their way to provide quality service. Communication was great and when we got there we were surprised with extras that really made us feel at home. Would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending the spot to others as well. Thank you for everything!
