This cabin is exactly as described on VRBO. The setting is beautiful. We especially enjoyed kayaking on the pond. It was hard to have to leave at the end of the week.

Gorgeous location, quiet and out of the way.
Unfortunately an unaddressed plumbing issue cut our stay short. We left in less than 36 hrs.
Owner was gracious and refunded our rent.
I hope it gets fixed.

This little cabin is _rustic_ and _cozy_, which we were prepared for. A few glitches: very fishy-smelling freezer; the floor in the main room is slanted, so much so that things go rolling off the table and the oil in a pan on the stove pools on one side. Anyone with stability issues might face challenges. Other issues: a leaking shower door or frame; natural/regional and partial power outages (the bathroom power goes out--we figured it out on our own after not getting much help with phone calls to the owners). You will be largely on your own here, so be prepared for that; the cell service comes and goes.
The setting is sublime; the porch facing the pond is where we spent most of our time on site. Very lovely, kind, and helpful neighbors. The sound of the loons conversing is beautiful.

A great camp! Has a nice yard with a deck located directly on a quiet pond which feels like a small lake. Enjoyed the sites and sounds of Northern Vermont. Off the beaten path with several options nearby for outdoor activities. I had good experience in working with the owners and hope to be back soon.

Family favorites were kayaking, rope swinging, swimming/lounging on the sand bar, watching the loons, the fire pit and amazing stargazing. Bummed there wasn’t a hammock like was pictured in the listing, but overall we were content for the week. Loved that it was pet friendly and our doggos got to enjoy vacay with us!

My mother and I spent a week at this beautiful cabin. We had the best and most relaxing time. Waking up on the lake everyday was just amazing. Listening to the loons and drinking coffee on the deck was so peaceful. We highly recommend this cabin for your stay away from the everyday. Thank you for shari g your home with us.

Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin! It gave my wife daughter, and pooch time to unplug and reconnect! It also gave us a great opportunity to visit family in Island Pond! While we stayed at this cabin, we enjoyed the serenity of beautiful Center Pond, and watching and hearing the loons! We also got to train our dog how to stand up paddle board! So many memories were made here at this cabin, and we will never forget this little slice of heaven! Thanks you so much for sharing your property, and we will totally seek you all out for another visit as soon as we can!

Beautiful Getaway
Loved our stay at this cozy cabin! Everything we needed for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. Had an amazing time and can’t wait to go back!

This cottage is located waterfront on an idyllic pond in Caledonia County. It’s great for unplugging - no wifi, no cable, no tv. Cell service usually worked outside on the deck. There was a large, freshly mown lawn for our dog to play on. There are about 5 other cottages in the immediate area, and a shared pond access. During our stay, we saw the occasional friendly camper accessing the pond on the property. To give you an idea of how close the other cottages are: we were able to hear the other families chatting around their campfires at normal conversational volume. Everyone was very friendly, and we had a quiet, relaxing week. The hosts are offsite, but always available when needed.

Perfect retreat
Great little cabin, clean and well-equipped for my 2 week stay with 3 dogs (extra cleaning fee for more than 1 dog but very reasonable). Friendly neighbors - a few more around than it appears from the photos but all very welcoming even with my three dogs. Great to have access to the water for boating - not ideal for swimming right in front of the house as it is quite shallow/muddy but a tip from the owner to take the kayak and find the sandbar over beyond the reed bed visible from the house and there is better swimming from there (deeper water on the far side of the pond and a rope swing into the water on that far side too!). Would definitely go back and stay again!

It’s long been my dream to spend time on a lake in the woods… This fulfilled it. The cabin was very cozy and we loved sitting on the deck watching the loons, the reflection of the clouds and movement in the water. I have never been in a place where it was so quiet. The sky at night was magnificent!
We had trouble locating the driveway down to the cabin, but once we found it, it was no longer an issue. Although… being a city girl, I wasn’t crazy about that road.. i found it a little difficult to navigate.
Our hosts were very responsive to a couple of minor issues that we had: they delivered a brand new DVD player as soon as they we told them we had difficulty using the one that was there.
We love St. Johnsbury. Our host told us about her niece’s yarn shop across the street from the Athenaeum. It is called Yarn Bank. A charming shop, and I was able to find the perfect buttons for a knitting project I was completing as well as yarn for a new project. If you are a knitter or crocheter… Don’t miss that gem!
We will be back!

Lovely lakeside property
We really enjoyed the cabin. It's rustic but cozy. The view was spectacular and we really appreciated the use of the kayaks. Loons and hummingbirds and woodpeckers but no moose sightings -- too bad!

Relaxing and just wonderful!
We had such a lovely vacation at this cabin - so appreciate the cleanliness, the w/d set up, the location was PERFECT! So quiet, peaceful. Very nice neighbor to the left who shared the swimming spots with us...great to have the kayaks there and we had such fun paddling with our pup Lily along the shores. I can't wait to return here next year!! Thank you Jennifer for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Great spot in a quiet pond
My wife and two young daughters had a wonderful time at this little retreat. It’s a cozy place that has all of the amenities you could need. My girls loved paddling out in the rowboat to do some fishing and watching the loon families do their fishing. We’ll certainly be back.

Cozy cabin on clean clear pond. Awake to sounds of birds loons a view of the pond. A piece of heaven.

Peaceful escape
Beautiful views on a quiet lake. Loons and beaver swam by every day. I would recommend bringing a tube or raft to float out to swim. The lake front is mucky.

Wonderful little cabin. A peaceful place to stay. Will absolutely come back here next year.
The property has everything you will need. From boats to outside fire pits and a nice hammock to a washer dryer, good sized rooms and fully functioning kitchen.

Tranquility
Cabin was small and cozy. Perfect for our family of 4. It is a bit on the rustic side, but still provided us with everything we needed. The deck overlooking the lake was absolutely perfect. I would wake up, make my coffee and sit outside all day until the sun went down. So quiet and peaceful. So many visits from hummingbirds and a family of geese. Even our teens put away their screens to enjoy the kayaks, fishing, and playing numerous of card and board games.

Beautiful, Quiet Location!
A perfect little place.
I could sit on the deck and watch my child enjoy the lake safely. Plenty touristy type shops and groceries within a reasonable distance. Can’t wait to visit again next year!

Great getaway!
Very cute cabin, perfect for a weekend away from it all. Our kids loved the little bunk room and had a great time fishing from the shoreline. The pond is great for kayaking and the deck has a nice view of the water. The cabin has everything you'd need for a comfy stay!
4.7
Loved it! Very clean, perfect spot on pond!! Everything we needed!
Loved the property! Would absolutely go back in a heart beat. Only complaint is that the kayak paddle needed to be replaced, we had to fix it a few times to use it. Also there were not any decent Orr’s for the row boat or canoe. The pond was beautiful! The wildlife so fun to watch! The stars were great!! A perfect pick!

Quiet, amazing spot. Would totally rent again.

Lovely cabin on the pond!!
We loved our stay at the cabin! I learned how to use a fire starter!! (I would recommend bringing a lighter if you aren't willing to work for your fire) We loved kayaking on the pond and even saw a moose on our way to breakfast!!! We got engaged on our hike of Mt pisgah which was absolutely a dream!!! Only downside was that there were a LOT of bugs bu the water shore but you c ant control that! :-)

The perfect Hideaway!

The owners have done a wonderful job and have thought of all the little things needed to make our stay just perfect. Our only regret is that we didn't book two weeks! We will next year! Thank You!

For the Heart and Soul..!
Peace of Tranquility!
Not a typo above!
When you can hear your eyelashes as they blink, it's incredible..! You find yourself holding your breath, so as not to miss a thing. A place for early risers.
Thunder and Lightening like you've never experienced. The mountains and hills echo thunder to make sure you get the message.
As you sip your morning coffee.
Early morning misty Sunrises. Early evening Full Moon-rises..! The pond glistening and sparkling from these two events. We found ourselves in waiting. The next surprise?
Hoots from at least 2-3 different types of Owls. A Doe and it's Fawn frolicking in the shallows. A Black Bear hoot in the distance. A Belted King Fisher dive bombing just off shore. 2 Osprey skimming for Trout and having it's catch on a limb nearby.
Just before sunrise in the twilight an Otter skirting the the shore for breakfast.
Chickadees, Nut Hatches, Blue Jays abound.
Trout jumping where the Fishermen weren't. I love it!
The 3 Loons: Your morning alarm clock. As they teach the young one the techniques of survival. Silently working the pond after their calls, all day long.
A week here definitely clears your mind. We arrived in our home town and it felt different...
Oh! As we left the Hollow we encountered 5-6 of the most beautiful and large Whitetail Deer that had crossed the road right in front of us! They were beautiful and majestic..!
We wept as we departed.

Peaceful Center Pond
We just wrapped up a wonderful week get-away to this cabin on Center Pond. It was our first time to the Northeast Kingdom of VT. The pond and setting are lovely; the fishing amazing. We ate delicious lake trout for several meals. The cabin has basic amenities and is well-stocked with soaps, paper products, etc. It would be nice to have a binder for renters providing a list of local grocery stores, restaurants and so forth for those new to the area. We had a little problem finding the road at first, so specific directions along with street address would also be helpful. The calling of the loons along with a blue moon were a perfect ending to a great week.

Hidden Gem!
I am almost afraid to give a true review about how I feel about this property. I don't want everyone to know how awesome it truly is because it won't be 'hidden' anymore!! What a wonderful place to relax, connect with nature, sit by the fire, chill in the hammock, kayak, fish and count wildlife. We had such a relaxing time. Combined with a warm cabin on cool nights and hot showers, you can't go wrong. We will definitely be back.

5 Star Location
Overall our vacation stay was superb. The location is 5 star and the cottage is as described. We had a great time in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and loved the location. One suggestion to the owner of the cabin...2 comfy chairs and/or a comfy couch/love seat is much needed. At night we wanted to watch a DVD, read or play a game and the seating was very, very uncomfortable.
