About this cabin rental
Welcome! We would like to invite you to experience some of the best views Lake Willoughby has to offer by staying at our family cottage!!The views are too good not to share :) Our cottage is located right on north beach road, a hop, skip and a jump away from Lake Willoughby's north beach, making it very convenient for relaxing beach days. Forgot sunscreen or a drink for the day? Need the bathroom? Walk within seconds back to the house from the beach and grab it. The front porch of our home is enclosed to allow you to enjoy your cup of morning coffee or evening glass of wine with a side of sunshine and mountain views independent of the weather. Great for families or a couples getaway, our cottage can be a nice refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There is a full kitchen with a fridge, microwave, electric range, toaster, and coffeemaker - we will provide dish soap, hand soap, a roll of paper towels and toilet paper. We ask that you bring your own beach and bath towels. We have a flat screen tv in the living area space with Blu-ray DVD player and also a host of movies to choose from. There are also a few board games, uno, deck of cards, and beach toys for you to enjoy as well. There are two queen bedrooms to fit 4 people/ 2 couples comfortably on the first floor. There is a full bath on the main level with a tub and a shower. The upstairs is a large bedroom with a queen bed and an additional twin to accommodate additional guests or kids. There is also an additional half bath upstairs. There is a fire pit and picnic table on the front yard to enjoy outdoor dining and s’mores. This home means so much to our family, we have created so many wonderful memories here and we hope you will do the same! Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or would like recommendations on what to do in the area.

This cottage was wonderful and had many wonderful amenities. The owner was responsive and helpful, thank you Florence! We would most definitely go back again.

We love Lake Willoughby, it’s different everyday.
Our stay happened to be during Vermonts flooding, but Lake Willoughby had no flooding.
We made the best of it, took a drive to the border. Walked the beach with the kids, took a drive to Derby. Explored the area…always a pleasure! Thank you!

Quaint old timey cabin that was just right for 2 adult couples to escape for a few days and enjoy the mountains. We hiked the trails and cooled off in the lake, perfect Vermont weekend.

What was not to like? Great rustic cabin with beautiful views. So relaxing.

We had a great stay at the cabin. The views are spectacular and the beach is less than 20 steps from the front door. Communication with owner was excellent. Some things to keep in mind when visiting, there is no AC and really was not needed, limited food options and 911 does not work on Verizon (we observed a lake emergancy). We would highly recommend visiting this cabin.

Decent vacation places that have a good value are hard to come by, this one did not disappoint! First off, the location is incredible, just across the street from North Beach. It is quite busy there during the day, as it is a popular spot. We loved the early mornings and late afternoons there, when we had the beach and the gorgeous view all to ourselves, the view really cannot be beat!
This is an old family camp, with some updates, that has a lot of charm. The front large screened porch was our favorite room. There is room enough for 6 adults, we never felt cramped at all. The kitchen area could be better supplied, I had to improvise at times as I did not have all the tools needed to cook a meal, but that is to be expected. Some decluttering would be helpful there to keep what is useful and toss what is not. The beds were very comfy, got a great nights sleep! I would definitely come back here to rent again! Thank you Florence!

Thanks for the Memories
Great location for hiking, lots of trails. Having the lake in front of the house was convenient for swimming. Then ending the day with a campfire was relaxing.

Prefect Summer Getaway
This is a perfect summer getaway in Vermont!! The cabin has all you need to make your stay comfortable!! Amazing lake views and access to the free public beach!!
We rented paddleboards from Clyde River Recreation, they delivered the boards and picked them up! We also spent an afternoon at The Pumphouse at Jay Peak, just 45 min north!
So much to do in the area, from hiking, boating, museums, ice cream, and just relaxing on the lake!!
It was our 3rd year and we will be back!!!

We were quit disappointed with the cleanliness, there were cob webs and dust all over the cabin. The light hanging by the fireplace did not work and when we tried to turn it on it sparked. We did not try to use it again.We washed all the dishes we used before and after we used them.The mattresses on the beds need to be up graded and new. They really are uncomfortable.Being close to the lake was great.

“Lakefront Living at its Finest”
Staying in a comfortable home on the cleanest body of water we have ever seen was a delight. Once you step through the door, you have everything you could need for a relaxing and refreshing vacation. The loons and the bald eagles were an unexpected bonus. We will be back! 🤗

Quaint cabin directly across the street from a free very clean beach. We enjoyed watching fireworks over beautiful Lake Willoughby from the front enclosed porch. The cabin is very clean and cuter in person. It’s roomy enough for a family. Close to local restaurants and grocery stores. We would definitely stay there again.

A little slice of paradise
2021 was our second year in a row staying here! We love it!! The location is amazing, the best views, direct access to the free beach, and not too far from ice cream!

When I was 6 or 7 years old I stayed with my family in the cottages that used to dot the North Beach. Most of them were sold several years later. This property features one of the remaining cottages that has been added on and updated. The location is amazing. The personal touches are awesome and the communication with Florence was top notch. I look forward to a visit the same time next year. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

We really loved our stay in the little cottage. It’s our 2nd trip to Lake Willoughby but first time at this spot and if was fantastic, what with the lake being right across from the property - glorious! Accommodation clean and simple and has all you might need. And Florence was so helpful a host. We’ll be back. Thank you!

lakefront cottage with great views of one of the prettiest lakes in Vermont
As they say about real estate: location, location, location. That is what this cottage has going for it. It is right across the street from the main beach on Lake Willoughby. No need to drive to the beach: it's a 50 foot walk. On the other hand, for those wanting a secluded lakefront property, look elsewhere, as there were about 100 people on the beach on weekends. The cottage has three bedrooms, each with a queen bed. The living room has two couches and a swivel chair, seating for five. The kitchen has a picnic style table plus a chair at the end, so it seats five easily. The screened room (like a porch) overlooking the lake has seating for about 10 people. So with only three people, we had lots of room.
The kitchen is quite small, with no dishwasher. There are sufficient dishes and utensils, but many of the pots and pans are in a pile. There is insufficient shelf/cabinet space.
There is no washer/dryer. That's probably because there is no space for one, although the downstairs bathroom could have been modified to fit a stacked washer/dryer. We were there just two nights, so it was not an issue for us.
The beds range from soft to medium firm. There are plenty of pillows, blankets, etc. The bedside lamps are on the dim side. It wasn't easy to read in bed. There is adequate closet space.
The bathroom shower has overlapping sliding doors that allow only about a 12" opening. Large people, beware. That also is unnecessary as the doors don't have to overlap that much. The entire door is about 30 inches wide. A swinging door, rather than two sliding doors, would have been much more appropriate.
The cottage comes with lots of games, movies, toys, etc. It looks very lived in. Sometimes that's great, but there are so many things in the house it looks a bit cluttered and is hard to clean. We found some cobwebs and dust. The cleaning crew needs to do a better job.
Therefore, overall I like the cottage. But there are little things that could be improved. I think the rental price is quite good, but the cleaning price is pretty high, and they need to do better cleaning for that price.

Quaint cabin full of unique bric-a-brac. Cozy and a great location. The owners were fantastic and offered all the amenities needed to feel at home. We love the place and tried to extend our stay. We will be booking for next year. A big thanks to the homeowners for sharing this beautiful space.

Wondeful Location
Perfect location for families with little ones. The walk to the beach is so convenient. The shallow water is also a plus having little ones. We truly enjoyed paddleboarding and taking in the magnificent views. Florence, the owner, was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had.

Beautiful cabin steps from the lake
We had an amazing time on Lake Willoughby. Although the weather didn’t cooperate much for us - we had games and movies to keep us occupied inside. The porch was our favorite feature as we could enjoy the lake breeze even though it was raining. The only thing to note - we didn’t have Verizon cell service. Thankfully the internet connection made it so we could still communicate with others.

We Didn't Want to Leave!
We stayed here for a long July 4th weekend and by the end we were doing everything we could to try and extend our trip. The lake itself was clean, clear and calm, you could wade out for a football field, or spend the afternoon on a floaty in the sun near shore. No waves, no seaweed. Perfect temperature for a dip when you get too hot on shore (and to wake up in the morning). The beach was narrow but lovely, right across the street from the house making it so easy to go back and forth for a bathroom or beverage, whatever you need throughout the day. Not too many cars coming and going, and it was probably one of the busier weekends of the year. It was clear that the house has long been in the family and well loved. Seemed kitchen supplies had filled over the years so it could be a bit better organized, but had everything all we needed. The screened in front porch and picnic table outside were both great places for a morning cup of coffee and/or early evening cocktail. The fire pit was a great way to keep the night going under the stars. Neighbors were all friendly, making us feel at home throughout our brief stay too . All in all, we had a great time and would come back again.
