Honest review! Doc and his girlfriend are so sweet! They live in the apartment above the lake house and gave us a tour upon arrival. This wasn’t a vacation for me, and so I was extremely stressed getting off the plane. However, the quietness of the area helped alleviate any anxiety. You’re 15ish minutes away from town, deep in the woods, away from the noise. There is a creek that runs behind the house that sounds amazing at night, with a firepit and chairs. I didn’t get to kayak on the lake at all, because we were just too busy (like I said, this was not a vacation for us), but if you are visiting for pleasure, make time for that. Simply put, the Lake Dunmore area is picturesque. There is, however, no AC. Apparently, Vermonters do not have AC in their homes, and during the summer, this can get uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the house has ceiling fans and several stationary fans that you can use. There is a unique bathroom situation as well. You must go through the bathroom to get to the bedrooms. So, if you need to shower or anything else, you must lock both the bedroom doors, and the door into the kitchen, which I’m sure can be awkward if there is more than one couple staying in the house. Regardless, this stay was five stars and the pictures of the house, just do not do it justice. I would absolutely stay again, more likely in the fall or winter months. I am very happy with my stay. If you are looking for peace and quiet, Doc’s lake house is a gem.

We really enjoyed staying at this cozy, well-equipped lake house. Everything was available to make the stay an enjoyable one. The driveway entrance and property were cleared for our arrival following a significant snowstorm. Communicating with the owner was a pleasure, with every a phone call or text message answered. Who would’ve thought seeing the solar eclipse of 2024 would be so easy and exciting! It was the owner and accommodations that made it all possible for planning the trip. We truly appreciate hospitality! Andrea & Denise

We were very pleased with this rental! It was very clean, everything worked great (kitchen, TV, shower) and the property owner was very accommodating and friendly. We didn’t get to enjoy the lake due to the time of year but I plan on going back. I highly recommend!

Cozy, clean, house in a great location!

This place was perfect for our stay. Super cozy, just had that Vermont cottage feel. Look forward to staying again

Loved everything about this place and Doc himself. I had problems texting him though because I would get sent to the Vrbo website and from there was unable to send my msgs. IDK where they ended up but not with Doc. It didn't matter a great deal, as I was able to find the answers to my questions on the reservation confirmation but it was a bit irksome to think I was not able to contact the property owner directly had I really needed to.

We had a wonderful weekend at Doc’s. The cottage has everything you could possibly need for a stay away from home. We arrived an hour early and Doc was more than happy to accommodate. He showed us around the cottage inside and out. The property is beautiful. We will definitely be back!

What makes for good vibes? I don't know, but this place has them. The owner may be part of it - he really cares that you have a good time. The place is charming, so comfortable, and right across the road from the lake. I will go again!
