About this cottage rental


Centrally located in the heart of Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom, The Honeymoon Cottage is the ideal place for couples, honeymooners, hiking/kayaking and biking adventures, fishing and more!

The Honeymoon Cottage was built at the dead end of a dirt road as a guesthouse in 1930 as part of a resort along the lines of the Patrick Swayze Dirty Dancing movie, in which people from away would rent a cottage with access to a mess hall, roller rink, tennis courts and of course the beach.

Only vestiges remain with the kind of privacy, views and open space that you would expect. Many of the larger houses were torn down, including the main house to the Honeymoon Cottage in 2018.

The Honeymoon Cottage is the very last cottage at the dead end of a quiet dirt road with spacious grounds and the best views in the whole association. We may rebuild the main house some day, but right now we love the large lot and privacy!

Named The Honeymoon Cottage because of it's doll house look, diminutive size and complete privacy, this is a classic Vermont cottage completely renovated in 2016. It has been outfitted with modern conveniences without losing the country charm that relaxes you the moment you step in the door.

The Honeymoon Cottage has one bedroom with a queen size bed and a small bunk room with built in beds for 2 kids with french doors leading to a large deck with panoramic views overlooking the lake and mountains. There is one bath with a walk in shower. The cottage can sleep 2 adults and 2 children comfortably.

Where the main house once stood, we have built a large dog yard. Inquire about it if you want to bring pets! There is a pet fee, which you will see as you check out which covers insurance.

Sitting on top of a knoll which overlooks the lake to the famous Willoughby Gap and mountains, this comfy cottage rests at the end of a short dead-end dirt road so it received ZERO through traffic. Check out the huge outdoor fireplace and the horseshoe pit! With all amenities needed to make it the perfect getaway, why stay anywhere else in Vermont!

The Honeymoon Cottage has cozy chairs on the porch with morning views perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee. Eat meals around the table on the deck before you head down to Edgewood's private sandy beach for swimming, fishing or boating. The table has and umbrella and the deck a large gas grill. We keep kayaks and sand chairs in the storage space under the deck and you are welcome to use them. If you have a large boat, the public fishing access is only a mile away with free parking, and you are welcome to moor off our beach. There's also ample seating around the firepit - the perfect place for a sunset bonfire.

There are two large free public beaches in addition to our small private one. You will find several country stores where you can stock up on fishing supplies, beach gear or just stop for a pizza, soft serve ice cream or deli sandwiches. You do not have to drive into town!

Cable has finally come to the lake bring with it many TV options and high speed internet. If you must, you can "work from home" or watch a special event on our smart TV above the fireplace.

This year more winterizing has allowed us to extend our season for spring ice fishing, skiing and other late fall and early spring accommodations. If you do not see the dates you would like, just shoot us an email.

The view of the lake and mountains is amazing. The house itself was very comfortable and clean with plenty of places inside and out to relax and stretch out. We also had daily visits from a deer and her fawn (from a hundred yards or so away, of course). This is definitely our new spot for NEK getaway times.

The cabin was a perfect place to stay. The views and property are amazing. My dogs loved the fenced in area. I cannot recommend this place enough. Tim was a great host and made sure to stop by and say hello and to check that we were okay.

Took my elderly mother to see the early fall leaves. The property is largely accessible for someone who uses a walker. There are a couple of steps into the cabin. In the cabin the doorways are wide enough for a walker. The shower is walk-in (no grab bars of course). We brought a small portable raised toilet which worked well. The view from the deck and porch is lovely. The dogs loved the dog pen area. I was concerned about possibly being cold given it’s shoulder season, but the cabin was toasty with the gas fireplace. We could drive down/across 5A to the small private beach for canoe access (though my mother didn’t do that).

Quaint cottage with gorgeous views. The dog yard and gated porch made it perfect. Comfy! Deer, ducks, geese and loons! The weather was chilly and the fireplace made it cozy. Thank you for a lovely stay.
