This was the most magical stay I could've hoped for. It was our first time visiting Vermont and I'm pretty sure we're spoiled now. Warm and welcoming, the property and owners were absolutely wonderful. The house actually felt like a home, as it should, so we were able to completely relax. Who knew foliage and northern lights peak at the same time. We had the pleasure of witnessing both over the pond. It was so easy to unwind and unplug, but the wifi was so strong I could also reconnect whenever I needed to get a little work done. This is the perfect place to truly get away and officially my new happy place.

Quiet little pond, no boat motors, just the sounds of loons ,ducks and geese! Property owners are super friendly, great kayaking, biking and beautiful countryside!

This delightful cottage on Daniel’s Pond is fresh, clean and comfortable – and magical! On one of our canoe paddles, we sat for several minutes watching a great blue heron waiting for its lunch. The sunset reflected from the pond with magnificent pink and red radiance. Our hosts Kristi and Ed were beyond welcoming.

House was comfortable, homey and cozy! The location was very quiet and peaceful.

We loved this quiet, beautiful lake front spot! Our experience was made all the better by the wonderful hosts and all the work they put into this cabin and our experience. Kristi is the best - great communication, a well-stocked house with everything we needed and an exceptionally clean space. We'll be back!

We were greatly pleased by this camp, owned by Kristi and Ed Bride. Beautifully located on the shore of Daniels Pond, it is very complete in every respect, including drinkable well water, heat, full views of the pond, quiet (side road), fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, Dish TV, washer and dryer, first floor master bedroom, lakeside dock, privacy from adjacent properties, etc. Access to the loft (3 beds) is by spiral staircase, and can be a bit daunting for seniors. All in all, a most delightful camp.

Overall, our experience at the "Getaway Cottage" was very relaxing and enjoyable. The cottage is located on a beautiful and peaceful pond with no motor boat traffic whatsoever (a rare find in Vermont). The lakefront is well appointed with Adirondack chairs and a hammock and one can spend many happy hours here reading, resting and watching the sun set. The cottage is located in the middle of miles of picturesque country and near many interesting and friendly small towns with everything you need. Its hard to beat that combination if you want a relaxing yet stimulating getaway. The size and depth of Daniels Pond makes it well suited to a refreshing dip, which is all that most people may want. Deeper and longer swims can be had right down the road at Shadow Lake or at the clear, exceptionally weed-free Crystal Lake in nearby Barton. Extras outside include the canoe and rowboat. There's also a large propane grill, though it will require a good cleaning before use. The interior of the cozy, shady cottage is both charmingly rustic and exceptionally clean. All beds are comfortable, as are the sofa and two reclining arm chairs in the living room. Basic seating on the porch is good for a brief recline and view of the pond, before heading outside for a longer session in the comfortable waterfront chairs or hammock. The hosts provided many personal touches to enhance the visit. Kristi was always friendly and available for questions or help if needed. Thank you Kristi and Ed!

We had an amazing week with our family. Kristi and Ed couldn’t have been better hosts. The cottage is lovely- incredible lakeside setting, comfortable and clean living space, and set in a beautiful countryside. We would love to return again one day!
