What a wonderful place. The cottage ‘Margot’ was a great place to call home during our visit to Westport. The pictures of this place convey an accurate image. Margot is the my definition of a rustic cottage on the lake. The cottage has simple but efficient furnishings and well functioning infrastructure. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Though we didn’t cook, the kitchen has all the necessities. We made good use of the refrigerator and the laundry. The Wi-Fi worked well in all rooms and on the deck, which allowed my husband to do some work each morning. The sibling owners made themselves available in case of any needs that might arise. None did. We certainly look forward to staying at ‘Margot’ on our next visit to Westport.

This cottage is a little gem in itself, perched right on the lakeshore, and it's set within a much larger farm that is lovely, with hay pastures, grazing cows, woodland margins, and groves of towering pines. Good land conservation practices at work. The owners are extremely friendly and responsive when you have a question, and otherwise they simply let you enjoy your stay. Good hosting practices at work. The site is ideal for exploring the High Peaks region or nearby western Vermont. Your senses will awaken to the natural world as you slow down. A perfect experience.

We have been here before and really appreciate the lake, the house, and the nearby hiking. It is a lovely spot.

The first impression was the lasting impression. We arrived to a musty mothball dominated smell soon to find a mouse nest in the kitchen drawer and mouse droppings throughout the kitchen and other rooms. There we're dryer sheets stuffed everywhere along with mothballs. This apparently was an attempt to get rid of the mice and and the related smell. I cleaned the whole building of mouse droppings. We turned the oven on to cook our dinner only to discover that the electric range was coated with mouse unrein. The resulting odor was terrible. We also found the stackable dryer in the middle of the kitchen floor because the washer machine was under repair. We had to contact the owner to get it relocated. There was a bird nesting on the covered deck above the patio table and chairs. They were covered with bird dropping that had not been cleaned. I cleaned them. The kitchen utensils, dishes, glasses and flatware are in very poor condition. The books, artwork and furniture are from the 50's and 60's and are in need of replacement. The throw rugs are in very poor condition. The tube for the TP holder was missing. The view and the location on the lake is great. Very private and peaceful. The cottage has potential but as is not worth the price as is.
