About this house rental

Please read the entire listing before booking with us. Vacation in a spacious farmhouse nestled on Lake Hortonia in Vermont. The home was built in 1865 and is rich with history and charm. There are lake views from several rooms, including the sun room, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or an afternoon cup of tea.

The home has a completely equipped gourmet kitchen, dining room, 3 bedrooms (2 queen size beds and 2 twin beds), a living room, and a family room. There is also a loft with a nice wooden futon and wingback chair that is a great place for an afternoon nap or a spot to curl up and read a book. There is one full bathroom and one half bath on the main floor. As a bonus, there is another 3/4 bathroom with a shower downstairs in the walk-out basement.

There is a full-size washer and dryer in the basement as well. The oak dining room table seats 8 and the space has windows in every corner. Just about every room in the house has an abundance of natural light.

Renter to supply your own bed linens and all towels, and responsible to leave home and property exactly as found. Families and responsible adults only. The home is on a road with moderate traffic and on a lake; children would need to be supervised at all times. Well-behaved dogs allowed ONLY with owner approval in advance (please contact us). Dogs must be house-trained, mild-mannered, and on-leash at all times when outside. Renters must clean up immediately after your dogs.

The lake is full of plant-life and weedy around the dock. There is no swimming off of the dock or from anywhere on the property. Crystal Beach is located about 6 miles down the road and this is a swimming beach where visitors pay for a day pass for beach access. There is also a park at Crystal Beach.

A quaint farmhouse on a portion of Lake Hortonia, across the street from a lovely local ice cream shop. Comfortable, easy to access, some nice features including floating dock/ paddleboat. Air conditioning welcome as it was a hot week. Well appointed kitchen. Need to bring own sheets/ towels which is difficult from long distances. Overall a lovely experience.

The house and property was nice. Our contact was with Mary. She was welcoming and helpful. We were hoping to use the paddle boat or canoe. I must have misunderstood the pictures because the area where the dock to this property is located is full of weeds and lillypads and the water in that area is not water I wanted to put my feet or legs in. The pictures show a beautiful lake but that access is not for this rental house. There are other private homes beyond this property and it’s clearly marked private. The dock to this rental house is very narrow and not safe for chair use. My grandson and husband did fish from the dock and enjoyed that time. Swimming was great at Crystal lake only a few minutes away. We also enjoyed Woodard Marina which is about half an hour away. The view of the lake and grounds including the other homes from the deck of house is beautiful. I would recommend if disabled or aged, this is not the house to rent because access is from back deck and there’s a grassy hill to climb to get to deck and that has several steps. Carrying our luggage and groceries was a bit of a job on arrival and departure. Otherwise house was clean and comfortable.

We had the best stay! The home was clean, cool (in the heat of the summer) and full of games, books and dvds. There was an informative binder that had all kinds of suggestions for things to do in the area. We loved bbqing and eating on the deck. We enjoyed the kayaks and boats immensely. My favorite was to sit and read near the lake in an Adirondack chair. The kitchen was updated and easy to cook in. There was plenty of garbage sacks, toilet paper, soap, etc. We felt very comfortable and taken care of. Would definitely stay here again and again.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely farmhouse. The house is private and on a nice piece of property. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch watching many different birds and wildlife. The house is very well stocked with anything you might need. Very clean too! Easy access to hiking trails and Crystal Beach. Mary answered all my questions promptly and all her suggestions were spot on! Thank you for sharing your farmhouse with us!
