About this house rental
A colorful, cozy 2-bedroom cottage right on the water, 20 minutes from Middlebury. Watch eagles and osprey soar past, feed the resident chipmunks, and let the lake breeze keep the bugs away while you finish that novel (or start one) by the gas fireplace or the fire pit under some of the best stargazing around.
Kick back on the deck with a martini and mountain views, or get out on the water with 2 kayaks and a canoe — great for floating, paddling, and fishing bass and perch right off the shore. The slate beach is a beachcomber's dream for fossils and arrowheads, though swimming leans more toward floating than laps (some weed growth in the lake). Great WiFi and A/C included, and yes — book yourself a private yoga session with Chessy, our resident cleaning-gal-turned-yoga-guru.
The cottage sits on a quiet dead-end country road just off the Vermont bike touring route, so there's zero traffic noise. Full kitchen stocked with everything you need, right down to spices and olive oil. Middlebury itself is a short, gorgeous drive away, with galleries, the college, bistros, pickleball and tennis at the Rec Center, waterfalls, hiking, and Revolutionary War-era forts across the bridge in New York — plenty to explore, though most guests find they don't want to leave the cottage at all.
A couple of house notes: we spray for ticks regularly, and please use organic soaps only and go easy on the septic system, given its closeness to the lake.
Watch the video — it really does say it all.

We absolutely loved our stay at Laurel's cottage! The pictures don't do it justice. The interior is larger than we expected and delightfully decorated with a combination of art and antiques that come together to create a perfectly eclectic, cozy spot. The views from the porch are amazing! We spent most of our time out there enjoying the sunshine and the spectacular sunsets. Laurel has equipped the property with just about everything you could possibly need for a terrific week away. Laurel kindly accommodated a change in our schedule, which we greatly appreciated and answered any questions we had along the way. We are grateful for our wonderful stay at the yellow cottage and hope to return!
