I was more than impressed by the size of the house, by its relaxed ambiance, and by all the Americana art and collectibles and other wall hangings. The kitchen area was so spacious and well equipped to entertain twelve people on Christmas Eve. Everyone was delighted with this choice of property to have a family Christmas. The bedding was very comfortable, the lake view more than made up for the rainy weather. This property is a gem!

Fantastic time hanging out in VT. House was idyllic and located yards from the frozen lake. Great kitchen and lounge and comfortable rooms. Only challenge we had was due to a storm which first knocked out power for about an hour and later in the day the Internet stopped working. There is no cell phone coverage at the house so spent the evening reading books. Loved the short get away.

The home is close to the street but very private. The views from the kitchen and living room are great. Waking up, brewing coffee, and sitting by the lake via the two chairs setup on a small island in the backyard is something that I am going to miss. This home provided a very relaxing getaway. 1:30 away from Burlington, VT. Things to do within 30 minutes: Maple farm, breweries, restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, book stores, and more. Great restaurant right in Cabot on the main road.

Overall we had a great stay! The location is so very relaxing and we loved spending the mornings by the water. The house itself is a cute farm house, true to the description. Heather was very helpful and responsive during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

We spent 5 days at The Pond House in mid-September. We were lucky enough to see the Loon family for a couple of days before they flew away for the winter. We also had a Black Bear show up at the end of the driveway one night! He walked right past our motorcycle and my husband before disappearing into the woods next to the house. The pond is definitely THE reason to stay at this property. It is easy to understand how one can while away hours just watching the pond. The views are spectacular whether you are outside or inside. The big windows in the kitchen n living room are perfect for enjoying the scenery even while cooking. There’s plenty of outdoor activities for all ages: lounge chairs are available, picnic table for outdoor dining, playing games or doing crafts, a fire pit, a canoe, kayak, n fishing poles, as well as, swimming in the pond which is crystal clear. It was amazing! The Pond House itself is a unique, one of a kind, property. It is well appointed. The bedding is wonderful! Two big dining tables plus a few bar stools allow plenty of room for everyone to eat, play games, etc. The kids room (as I called it) upstairs has three twin beds in it. I can imagine the fun our grandchildren would have there! There’s even a toy closet. We met a few people who live nearby. Everyone was super friendly. All in all, we had a very relaxing stay n would definitely consider renting this property again.

Pictures do not do this place justice! Beautiful surroundings and the best star viewing around! House is well stocked with anything you could need and close to all attractions . My wife and I had an amazing anniversary at this place and would def be back!

Communication prior to arrival was good. The house was clean, overall, except there was a stack of plates next to the sink. The top plate was clean, but the rest beneath were slimy and covered in food - gross. The decore in the house is not shown on the website. It is pagan at best, demonic at worst. We had to cover quite a bit of it so the kids couldn't see - think "tribal." The view of the pond was quite nice from every single room that faced it. There was not a bad time in the day to look at the water. The lawn between the water was well-manicured. The canoe had a broken seat at the stern, and the row boat had an oar permanently fixed to the oarlock. In all, the maritime equipment is not in good repair. The lawn furniture looks inviting at a distance, but is really scuzzy and moldy when you go to sit down. The basement was well-appointed with washer and dryer; very neat. The coffee-maker in the kitchen is really cheap, and you had to keep replacing a little spring and housing unit every time you removed the carafe. Almost all of the cookware is scratched at pitted to the point of being unusable. We basically made everything with one pot. There is a big crack in the main floor hallway by the vent that needs to be repaired, so much that it dips if you walk next to it - very dangerous. Decoration is obviously personal opinion, but I feel the natural beauty of the house has been marred by the decoration, perhaps that is why the owner chose not to show it on the website.

The home was charming and warm and had a designer touch.There were antiques and artwork and beautiful ceramics The floors were lovely with hooked rugs and orientalsThe kitchen has all you need..The beds were very comfortable.The views of the pond were just beautiful.The pond is very clean.I was hoping for no TV or phone servie but this had both.The Cabot road has a few places where the edge of the road has deteriorated due to the flood.Pay attention and drive in the middle when possible
