Summary of reviews
Property praised for being exactly as pictured, clean, well-maintained, and offering fantastic views of the lake. Guests enjoyed kayaking, hiking, and the quiet, peaceful location.

This peaceful cottage at the water’s edge exceeded our expectations! Access to the lake is only steps away and we fully enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. The dock was perfect for morning coffee and lounging in between swimming and kayaking. The patio was handy for meals and organizing biking excursions. We prepared snacks and meals in the well stocked kitchen and appreciated the lake views from the open dining/living room areas. Being in a serene atmosphere surrounded by nature was just what we needed to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend this place and plan on returning!

I stayed at the cottage for a week in August, as a base for visiting family and friends, hiking, and relaxing by the lake. The cottage was exactly as described--pretty, well-designed, and comfortable--at a beautiful and quiet location right on the lake. Linda was quite responsive. The place is small, as described (one bedroom), but perfect for my needs

My husband & I had a perfect week just chilling out in Lake St. Catherine & watching the Olympics. This home is small but very beautiful & well-appointed. My husband fished from the dock catching (& releasing) a northern pike & bass. We waded into the lake daily from the stony shore & spent hours just bobbing in the water-it was wonderful!
We cooked all of our meals there finding everything we needed in the kitchen. The multipurpose oven was new for us but performed nicely. We originally hesitated to come due to the spiral stair & only 1 bathroom. We are in our late 60's but found the narrow stairway surprisingly secure to navigate. One suggestion for anyone who may be a light-sensitive sleeper is to bring a sleep mask. The many windows & skylight keep this home light & bright. We had a couple hot days but the fans kept us comfortable.
We tried the kayaks but they were too small for my 6' husband to use, so we we mostly enjoyed the swimming. On our 1 rainy day we enjoyed the TV, a puzzle, & reading. It was really a wonderful relaxing week! The host is very communicative & attentive. The instructions for the house are well-developed, comprehensive, & clear. The neighborhood is quiet, the lake is gorgeous, & we wish we were still there!

Once again (4th time renters), my husband and I had a relaxing stay at this cottage. It’s perfect for a couples getaway. The cottage is exactly as described but better. Lots of natural light because of all the windows and although no air conditioning, we never felt like it was too warm, and we’ve been there during heatwaves with high humidity. The kitchen, though small has everything you need. There’s even spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar so it’s pretty easy to do your own cooking. The one large bedroom is a spiral staircase, so if you have difficulty with stairs this may not be for you, but we didn’t mind it a bit. The hardest part is getting the suitcase up and down, but otherwise no issues. The dock is great, getting morning sun but nice and shady in the afternoon. We loved kayaking in the early morning when the lake was oh so still and quiet. The floating loungers were great to relax on the water and cool down. We saw ducks, geese, herons and a bald eagle, so lots of nature to see. I’m sure we’ll be back again.
P.S. My husband thinks the cottage needs a name like many of the others around the lake, so he’s decided to call it Leaning Cedars Cottage, hence the description of this review.

This home was fantastic. You are literally right on the water. Quite peaceful and very relaxing. Fantastic place for two people to enjoy. Great area to explore and nice local restaurants. The kayaks are a definite plus. The owner is very quick to respond and answer any and all questions. You can find no better place to sit and look at the lake and watch the boats. Another plus was all the neighbors we met were very friendly and had great suggestions on places to see. We will definitely return to unwind and recharge.

We had an amazing week at Linda’s property. The views and surrounding landscape couldn’t be beat, especially in foliage season. Linda was kind and communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Very much hoping I find my way back Sooner rather than later!

We rented this wonderful waterfront cottage for our annual fall Vermont visit. The location is hard to describe in words since it sits right on the water and you get incredible views from every where. You wake up and see incredible sunrise and you go to bed seeing a sky lit with stars everywhere and its reflection on the water. The cottage is equipped with everything you would need and it feels very homy and cozy. We loved hiking and biking and had an amazing week . Will definitely recommend to our family and friends

We were able to spend 5 nights at Linda's lovely lake front home. It's well appointed, clean and thoughtfully planned out. The views of the lake from all the windows plus the Oct Fall foliage in VT were spectacular and an added bonus.
Quiet street in a quaint VT town with friendly people we met along the way. Day trips to Manchester VT and Saratoga Springs NY just an hour away.
Great vacation to rest, relax and recharge. Don't hesitate to book Linda's beautiful cottage for a peaceful time away from your busy lives.

Tucked away on a quieter section of Lake Saint Catherine, this property offers a unique and serene getaway for two. Beautifully perched above the lake, it is a great spot for relaxing and getting some downtime. Linda exceeds 5 stars in ensuring that you have all the information you need for a great stay!

This lake house on Lake St. Catherine in Vermont is one of the state's best kept secrets. The house sits literally feet away from the lake. You can't help but feel the lake in all its splendid moods. If you like quiet and enjoy the subtlety of nature, this place is for you. The house is in excellent condition and the bedroom and bathroom will not disappoint. Prepare to transform yourself to a more soulful and content human being.

Beautiful home right on the water. Perfect escape from the city for a few days of R&R, kayaking, reading by the dock, and hiking some nearby trails. Owner was very helpful and a pleasure to work with.

We had a great week on Lake St Catherine. The Lake House was perfect for us. Beautiful views. Enjoyed kayaking around the lake. The Lake house felt new. Sparkling clean and comfortable. Peaceful evenings relaxing under the stars. Golfed at a nearby golf course. Fished off the dock. Day trip to Saratoga Springs only one hour away. Visited Vermont State Fair in Rutland. Also visited Lake George less than an hour away. All and all we couldn't have had a better week. Can't wait to come back next year!!!

This is our third stay at the cottage and as usual, it did not disappoint. The place is exactly as described, maybe even better. Everything you’ll need is provided. The owner has thought of everything. It’s a lovely place to decompress and recharge your batteries. We loved hanging out on the dock, especially early morning and late afternoon, and taking out the kayaks to explore the lake. We like to go to the north end of the lake and go in the little creek to access the pond. We saw a great blue heron, many geese, loons, ducks, falcons, humming birds, and several other songbirds all why sitting on the dock. It was great to be back on Lake Saint Catherine after several years and we hope to make a return again soon.

From the calling loons at the end of the day to the tranquility of the morning light, if you want to have a magical getaway, this spotless, modern cottage is for you! We enjoyed great fishing, paddles in the kayaks and nearby attractions, restaurants and quaint shops. No problems or complaints…owners are friendly and organized in every detail. LOVED IT!!!!!

We loved our stay here! The bright, airy space gives you the feeling of being on a boat -- water views from every window and the trees across Lake St. Catherine were at the peak of fall colors. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and it was easy to read and relax while enjoying the views. We also did a lot of local exploring and found the location to be central enough to allow for day trips to Woodstock and Weston. Linda was helpful and a great host!

It was a delight to stay in this home, which is well designed, is simply and tastefully decorated, and has a beautiful view over the water. The area is peaceful, and we enjoyed several hikes nearby. The fall colors of the trees across the lake during our stay were a special treat. We highly recommend this home for a single couple looking for a relaxing get-away.

This modern lakeside camp was the perfect get away. We found the home clean, well equipped and comfortable. The host communicated with us appropriately prior to, during and following our stay to ensure our positive experience. The home is located on a peaceful slice of a clear and clean Vermont lake. We enjoyed use of the dock, kayaks and deck chairs.

We loved our time spent on Lake St. Catherine! The windows facing the lake are just wonderful, giving you a view of the lake at all times. The view from the dock is something amazing, and I could sit and stare for days! Great hiking in the area and there is trail up Mt. St. Catherine which gives you a view of the lake from the other side. Be sure to check the area for local farm stands before hitting the supermarket (which is a short drive away). At the beginning of the road we spotted some fresh veggies for sale and were able to get some goodies! Overall we were extremely pleased and look forward to returning again.

My wife and I absolutely loved this cottage! It's as neat as can be and has all the modern amenities you could ask for. We enjoyed kayaking and swimming in one of the warmest and cleanest lakes we've ever been in. The surrounding area is beautiful and there's so many things to do if you're feeling adventurous (we had a blast on an ATV tour at Adirondack ATV Tours just 15 minutes away in Whitehall, NY). The owner of the cottage, Linda, was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to going back again next summer!

Before I open my eyes in the morning, I hear the water lapping on the shore directly beneath the windows, and the boundary between house and water blurs. As we sit down to meals, there is only water to be seen out the windows, as if we were on a boat. The "cottage" has a modern feel, tastefully and practically furnished. Any imaginable cooking accoutrements are provided, as are games and books covering a variety of interests. Situated on the northwest end of the lake, it is convenient to Poultney, where we quickly became familiar with the local market. The Lake George region is an easy day trip from here--we visited Fort Ticonderoga one day. It is a most relaxing getaway where you can see as many or as few people as you like.

LOVED this little haven on the lake. So peaceful. Lovely to sit by and gaze out at the water. Lots of fun kayaking, hiking, biking etc. nearby. Place is well equipped and beautiful. Can't wait to return!

Great cabin and great location, I highly recommend to stay here
5.0
We were able to send an extremely relaxing week, walking, swimming and kayaking on the lake, reading, etc... Poultney is 10 minutes away allowing us to easily get food and groceries, without having to spend a long time in the car. The property is small and cozy, ideal for a couple, well equipped and extremely well maintained. The property has TVs, audio and WiFi for the technology inclined but has a very rustic feel to it.
