Our family of 4 (including 2 young adults) very much enjoyed our stay. The location on the water was wonderful - for views all times of the day, relaxing on the deck or dock, and access for kayaks, stand up paddleboards, and swimming. Island Pond Lake is beautiful and clean, with a sandy bottom and very few weeds. The location was also great for easy access to the businesses in the town of Island Pond. Having a nearby town center with a few restaurants, shops, and a grocery store was a nice convenience that many of the towns in Northeast Kingdom don't offer. It was also close to great mountain biking in Burke and to many hiking trails. The house fit our needs well. The living room and dining area was very comfortable. We cooked about half of our meals and found the kitchen to be well stocked, including lots of good quality ceramic non-stick pans, plenty of dishes, and a dishwasher. The table on the main deck was perfect to seat 4 for dinner. There were plenty of beds for our family of 4. The upstairs bedrooms were a bit small for the size beds they held and the downstairs bedrooms were down a steep flight of stairs from the bathroom. But those were minor inconveniences, considering the positives that the house held. Although there are many beds, especially in one of the downstairs bedrooms, the house seems best suited for 4 or 5 people. More that that may get too crowded in the main living area and tiny bathroom. Overall, the place was great. We'd return.

My family & I absolutely loved the lakeside cottage! There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room. There is one bathroom, but it met all our needs. When we wanted to communicate with the owner he was very reachable and accommodating. There are two beds on the first floor/main level and there are three beds on the lower level. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all newer full size appliances. We spent most of our time outside on the water - we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. The lake water was very clear and warm to swim in. We rented paddleboards and a kayak from Clyde River Recreation. They dropped everything off the morning of our arrival and they picked everything up the morning we left. It was a great option to have available. If you’re someone who needs ac, there’s one window ac unit and it completely cooled off the whole main floor. Island Pond is a very small town. There isn’t too much in the town, but you can address all necessities. There’s one small grocery store, a Dollar General and a few small restaurants to eat-in or take-out…nothing fancy, but good. Quick drive to Canada, Newport VT and hiking trails-if you are looking to get about. And/or if you are an easy going family looking to just chill, relax and be on the water, you’ll love it!

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!

Place is great. As described. Very comfortable with excellent access to the lake. Wonderful views. Lake itself is clear with sandy bottom. Only issue was the VRBO check-in link wasn’t working and the key box access code was wrong. Also the owner was not responding due to a health issue so we were stuck checking in and couldn’t access the key box. It eventually worked out and we had a great stay. We’d go back.

1. The inside of house was fairly clean. Beds and linens were great. 2. Stairs to the lower bedrooms were steep and narrow. 3.Being right on the water was truly wonderful. Lots of usable outdoor space on the porches which we really enjoyed.

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!

Small Cottage in Great Location
Small Cottage in Great Location
We enjoyed our stay! The location is great - directly on the water and only a couple of minutes from the sleepy town of Island Pond. The latter has a number of restaurants and a small grocery store. It is definitely a "cottage", closer to neighbors than pics indicate, and with the lower level being a bit musty and only one bathroom, so I would not recommend filling this cottage to the max. But for our family of four, it was a perfect size and the location can't be beat. The deck, where we ate all of our grilled meals, has a beautiful view of the lake. We brought kayaks, which we launched from the shore every day. There is a wonderful metal dock, which was great for loon watching, but could nicely accommodate a larger boat, and the lake has a public boat launch at the southern end. Straight across the lake were some nice sandy beaches on the island and the opposite shore, which were great for swimming. We stayed in July, and at that time of year, the lake is very busy on the weekends, but was wonderfully quiet during the week. The host, Jason, was very responsive to my texts, whenever I had any questions prior to, or during, our visit, although cell service at the cottage is not great. I often only got cell service (via T-mobile) when I was in the middle of the lake, or in certain places in town.

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!
