Lovely quaint cottage right on the water, clean, bright and airy. Kayaks, dock, swimming and fire pit were an added bonus! Wi-Fi was great, couldn’t figure out how to stream to the tv, but we were outside most of the day! Loons, a bald eagle and lots of ducks, mallards and mergansers with lots of babies. Hike to the top of mount Pisgah was amazing. Hard but worth it! We did the north trail.

Very cute and comfortable camp. Sadly, we had very rainy weather during our stay, so we could not take full advantage of everything this camp had to offer. We wanted to sit lake side, have a fire and go out on the lake, but it was simply too rainy and windy. Would definitely consider staying again, but for more days, so we have a better chance at some good weather.

Want to do nothing, with a view... ✅
Want to hang out on the water... ✅
Want to catch a nap in a hammock while being serenaded by loons and mating toads... ✅
Want to sleep in comfy beds and wake up to the calm waters and glorious mountains of Willoughby... ✅
The Nod Away has everything for everyone. A find we will certainly make an excuse to play hookie from our daily lives for again soon!

We loved our time here! Lake Willoughby is gorgeous and this is the perfect place to enjoy it from. The cottage is a quintessential lakeside home and we loved that. We enjoyed bonfires, hikes and boardgames.

Another fantastic stay at the NodAway and Lake Willoughby! Charming cottage on the north side of the Lake with phenomenal views of the gap, Mount Hor and Pisgah. Just up the road from the Willoughby Lake Store, Sentinel Rock, and nearby restaurants. Tim and his family have a wonderful cottage and are a pleasure to rent from!

Although we had some very wet weather , we had a great time. We loved that the property/ fire pit etc is right near to the water so we could all be together in and out of the water. It was nice there were plenty of fans for the bedrooms as well.

We enjoyed our stay at Nod Away. The location on the lake, set back from the road and with a vacant lot on one side was great. The cottage had everything we needed. Hearing the loons calling was a plus. Tim was a great landlord to work with.

The house is well equipped and comfortable, with three bedrooms with full or queen beds and one single bed in one, and a 3/4 bath on the first floor and a 1/2 bath on the second. The kitchen is small but ample. The sunlight through the many west, lake facing windows is wonderful, as is the view of the lake and the west shoreline. The house is right on the lakeshore, with adirondack chairs, lounges, and a hammock, along with a firepit, on the shore directly in front of the house. There is a dock to which I was able to tie up my 16 ft. boat at night, though I did have to lift the motor as it is in shallow water. The only improvement that I can imagine would be a gas fireplace, instead of the gas heater, in the fireplace in the living room, if it had the same capacity to heat the building. The only negative was an excessive cleaning fee .

Kids loved having their own "beach" right outside the back door. We liked all the outdoor seating so we could watch the kids play.

Family Getaway
We had a great time kayaking, canoeing, and fishing each day. It is a beautiful location. The cottage reminds me of the camps on the coast of Maine.

I love nod away. We had such a wonderful time with my nearly 2 and nearly 5 year old girls. I am 9 months pregnant and it was heaven to sit with the girls as they played in the sand and waded in the water. I would definitely love to come back. Honestly we loved the weather in early June, too. Not too cold to splash and wade and not too hot to sleep at night.

Great level lot, crystal clear water, close to hiking trails... A hike up nearby Mount Pisgah is not to be missed, the views are breathtaking.

Just what I was looking for
My friends and I chose Nod Away for a relaxing fall getaway by the lake and hiking. Lake Willoughby is breath taking! Tim’s cabin was rustic and extremely clean. Great fire pit as well. Tim was very accommodating and always responded quickly when I had a question. I would definitely recommend this place!

Perfect Cabin for Exploring Lake Willoughby!
Nodaway was the perfect little cabin for our stay in the Northeast Kingdom. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and sunrises from the front room and by the fire pit sitting by the lake. Having the canoe and kayaks was an added bonus and lovely way to explore the lake from a different viewpoint. The cabin had everything we needed, stocked kitchen, plenty of firewood, activities/games and reliable Wifi. Great place to check out and enjoy Vermont’s natural beauty!

Wonderful stay on Lake Willoughby. The cabin was perfect—rustic and charming, with a well outfitted kitchen and lots of fun games for the kids. We loved kayaking and fishing off the dock…and you cannot beat that view! Would definitely return next time we are in the northeast kingdom.

This was a great cottage for our family - waterfront was beautiful for paddling and swimming, lovely hikes nearby and great fire pit for evening campfires. My kids had the time of their lives. The cottage is very comfortable with all the kitchen items you need for your time at the lake. There's a cute country store down the road with great ice cream and treats. Thanks so much!
