About this cabin rental

Welcome to Edeneast
If it’s a private back to nature experience you are seeking, you have found an ideal setting for that. This quiet off the grid cabin, all powered by propane, is very private, is at an elevation of 1100 feet and fronts on a crystal clear pond with no other camps in view. Get away from the busy stressful world we all live in and relax. . Eden is a wonderful place to take in the Vermont summer or fall. Reconnect with nature and each other here.

The cabin faces west on the pond and has a screened porch overlooking the pond. This is a comfortable but simple cabin that does not have electricity but has propane lights, gas fridge, stove, hot water heater and full bathroom. It is an Open design on the lower level with kitchen, living room dining area and one bedroom with a double bed and bathroom. There is also a loft for additional sleeping area. The property has 400 feet of frontage on the pond with swimming area, dock and canoe.You can even swim au natural if you want ! The pond has beaver, turtle, visiting loons and ducks and has perch, bass and sunfish for the fisherman.

Everything you need for cooking, meal preparation and utensils is provided. You must bring your own sheets, ( double for the bedroom and queen size for the loft), single for the porch, towels and paper products. Plenty of blankets are on site. There is a Weber charcoal grill available for barbecuing. We do not allow outside campfires due to fire danger. There is no easy way to extinguish a fire.
Everything you might need for food is just 3 miles away at a decent size market.

If you desire more activity than hanging around the cabin, there are numerous hiking and biking trails nearby and many opportunities for canoeing and fishing. The camp is about 40 minutes north of Stowe, Vt. Which is a charming ski town with great restaurants and shops.The whole area is a recreational paradise: There is a new indoor water park at Jay peak nearby and many interesting towns and other sites to take in. The camp is a beautiful place for the fall foliage and has a wood stove with plenty of wood for those crisp fall days.

The Weekly rate is $800.The camp is available for rent from late May through October .The daily rate for stays shorter than a week is $135.00There is a minimum 3 day stay policy.
I also charge a refundable $100 cleaning/security deposit. This is a unique arrangement in that I rely on the camper to clean the camp thoroughly and remove all garbage before leaving. This keeps the cost down.
I limit the number of guests to 4 as there is a dug well and water must be conserved.

Because the pond is private and extremely quiet, it is important for any potential renters to understand that they must keep a low profile here so as not to disturb the unique nature of this spot. Dogs may be considered if they present no risk in terms of chasing wildlife or barking. There is a canoe provided but due to milfoil concerns, I do not allow renters to put their own kayaks or other boats in the pond.
Note, the camp is only available late May to October. It is closed in the winter.

A great opportunity to get away from it all. Float in the canoe and watch turtles sunning themselves on logs, watch loons, otters, beavers, swim in cool clean water and just enjoy looking at the pond. Artists, writers and those who appreciate nature this is a special place.

This was a rustic, quaint, no-frills, and absolutely perfect spot to get away. The view was spectacular, the stars were bright, the fish were biting, the porcupines were friendly, and the silence was palpable. Ed was super responsive and very pleasant to work with. We appreciated the cabin, the dock, and all of the stunning natural beauty of Northern Vermont.

Ed's cabin is a flashback to simpler days, and that is its beauty. The pond is a peaceful oasis that we sat by every morning with our coffee and enjoyed canoeing across each day (sometimes accompanied by tail slapping beavers and a loon or two). The area is completey protected from further building so will remain just as quiet and special as it is. Ed is a terrific correspondant, and works to keep things simple for guests. We arrived during a very hot spell, so were happy to have a battery powered fan to help cool things off. Otherwise, the gas-lights and propane stove worked just fine. The local store is surprisingly well stocked, so cooking/grilling at the cabin is the way to go, if you don't want to drive 20-30 minutes or so to a restaurant.

I must confess we give nicknames to our rental properties. We dubbed Eden “The Propane Palace.” It’s not an insult—we called our 1840 home “The Termite Palace” for years because we had the main wooden support beam replaced due to termite damage. But Eden Rest truly is a palace of nature. The camp perches above the dark pond, surrounded by trees, mountain views, and sky. Is it rustic? Yes. Was I terrified by the propane lights? Yes. But we figured them out along with the stove (so easy). We lived on the deck and the screened-in porch. We ate breakfast and dinner out there, played board games, and at times just sat on the deck and enjoyed the silence. Since we visited during a rare heat wave, my wife used the bedroom and I slept on the porch bed. I can say the porch bed was great—comfortable and open to the night air. Once dawn filled the sky, I kept peeking to see if the beavers graced the pond. Yes, the path to the dock is rough. The space could be trimmed wider. My wife and I used my hiking poles which made the going much easier. (We’re short and old). But the water was wonderful. We floated to the pond’s other side and meandered to and fro while admiring the sunset. The beavers waited until our last evening to make their appearance, but they graced us three times! The loons scared me awake one night… yikes! If you’re looking to wrap yourself in comforting peace and quiet, this is the palace you need.

Great location overlooking pond. Quiet, peaceful, wildlife everywhere, close to hiking, fishing, swimming, plenty to do if you love the outdoors. Communication with owner was great. Answered all my questions and helped with my special requests. However the cabin needs a lot of attention. A serious renovation and upgrades are in order. Pathway to pond is a accident waiting to happen. This off the grid cabin has the potential with a little TLC and is a gold mine waiting to happen.
