Perfect Vermont Getaway

The best part about this cabin is the surrounding area itself... a perfect "off the grid" getaway complete with a pond & kayaks/SUP to go with it! Thank you Karen - you were a wonderful hostess & we so appreciate your hospitality!

Awesome rustic getaway!

We loved our time in the cabin and wished we could have stayed longer! We were visiting from the west coast and wanted to have a camping-like experience with our 3 and 5 year old girls, and this place was perfect! The pond is amazing with lots of frogs and dragonflies, and was so fun to kayak and paddle board on. We also had a great time walking the trails. One day we even discovered a huge turtle on the steps leading to the cabin. My kids named it Scoot and considered it the best part of our adventure. Although the cabin feels super private you are not far from Stowe which is nice. We can't wait to return and make more family memories!

Great Vermont Weekend!

We were at the cabin this past weekend and really enjoyed out time. The cabin is just rustic and remote enough to experience the Vermont wilderness while staying within striking distance of downtown Stowe. The owners were helpful and accommodating. At one point the toilet required some maintenance, and they were over in a matter of minutes to fix it for us. The pond is a great addition as well! Would recommend to all.

Clean and cozy

Karen and Eric provide a wonderful place to stay. We showed up and there was a little mix up (completely our fault) in that we hadn't realized we'd be walking up to cabin. Karen was kind and quick to reply and explained there was a sled to bring up our stuff. It was honestly such a great time. They take very good care of the cabin. It has a certain charm to it- warm, cozy, and off the grid. I definitely would recommend renting this cabin from the Nicholsons!! Overall a very pleasant experience! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!!!

About the host

Hosted by KAREN P CUNNINGHAM

I have lived in Stowe for over 34 years but now spend some months with my husband on the sea in Rome, Italy, where he is from. We like to share our little Stowe paradise while away.

Why they chose this property

This Cottage on the Lake is a perfect escape when you want to get away from it all or have a different experience. Renters love the comfortable, well-equipped cottage and the beauty of the setting -- skies filled with stars, the little lake, wildlife sounds and sounds of silence, walks on the trails through the forest, and more. This property has it all - the feeling of getting away from it all but having all that Stowe has to offer 5 minutes away.
