About this property

Escape to Eden for vacation, retreats, reunions or weddings

This luxury year-round home sits on beautiful Lake Eden. Just 25 minutes north of renowned Stowe Village, you can enjoy all the seasons and seasonal activities. Inspired by 17th Century Scottish manors, and featured in Stowe Magazine (Fall/Winter 2017, page 198), this unique home features two mirror fireplaces (one in the kitchen and one in the living room), lake views from every room, a full kitchen with 48" commercial-grade range and all the appliances, generous bathrooms and room for 11 comfortably. There are two master king bedrooms ensuite, a queen bedroom, and bunk room consisting of one queen and three twin beds. TVs in the family room and all bedrooms (except the bunk room) have Dish TV with access to Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix. The walk-out lower level features a large HDTV, game table and French doors to the outside kitchen with seating for 6 diners as well as a fire pit perfect for s'mores and scary stories. The outdoor kitchen consists of a 36" grill, 2 burner side burners, fridge and built-in ice chest.

Enjoy a salt water hot tub under the stars after a kayak or canoe outing on the lake or a full day of skiing at one of the three nearby ski resorts. The home includes winter and summer toys for use on the water and in the generous meadow on secluded 7.5 acres.

Located in north-central Vermont, the property has convenient access to Stowe, Jay Peak, Mount Norris, the Long Trail and Canada.

Jay Peak and Stowe each offer great indoor activities such as bowling (Stowe), indoor water park (Jay). But outdoors is where you'll want to be for fishing rainbow trout and smallmouth bass, swimming and water sports on Lake Eden, a notably clean lake with clear inviting water temps. Summer fun ranges from watching the loons who nest on the lake and enjoying the duck families who nest just adjacent to our dock, to hiking nearby Mount Norris, the Moss Glen Falls and the Long Trail, which passes close to Eden off of Rte 118. Horseback riding at LaJoie Stables in nearby Jeffersonville is another fun outdoor option.

Fall brings us an amazing and renowned color foliage, apple cider, and fall festivals. This is a perfect time for antiquing and casual shopping.

Winter offers snowshoeing, downhill and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling on the VAST system that runs through the state. With three ski resorts to choose from, you can make a day of skiing, dining and exploring those communities.

Thinking of a private destination wedding? Consider the opportunity to rent the home for the wedding party and the pleasure of a garden wedding in a lovely setting WITHOUT all the tourists and hotel guests found at most resorts. Catering access and electrical outlets make the meadow a perfect spot for a tent, arbor or other feature - we can help with vendor contacts and specifics.

Fly into Burlington, VT or Montreal and arrive in 90 minutes at this magical retreat.

Wonderful Retreat
We had a wonderful stay here during the 2024 Eclipse. We were 11 people total, and we were all comfortable. The house has everything you need and more. If you like to cook, the kitchen has it all. There House Guide was organized so that there was not much guessing to find anything. The owners are quick to respond should any questions arise. I will recommend this place to friends looking to get away. Thanks!

Another Wonderful Stay!
I rented this property four years ago and again in January 2024. The property was as beautiful and well cared for this visit as it was four years ago. The property is large, comfortable and well stocked. Our group of friends loved our stay and hope to visit again next year!

Amazing home
The pictures of this house, as wonderful as they are, cannot do it justice. We found every inch of this house to be comfortable, beautiful, and welcoming. Your attention to detail was amazing. The beds were phenomenally comfortable. The kitchen was well thought out and very user-friendly. While I do not like pools and hot tub’s, that’s because of the chlorine smell, the salt, water, hot tub, however was exactly what my knees needed after the day on the slopes! Thank you very much

Awesome house
This house is absolutely my favorite from all the VRBO houses we have stayed in so far. The pictures are acurate, the house is stunning, clean, well stocked and beautiful location at the lake. Hot tub was perfect, fire place is great and the views from any room are amazing! Perfect location for those who love to ski, several ski mountains within 30min. We are hoping we can come back during the summer to enjoy the lake. Communication with host Anne was perfect, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us!

Favorite Vermont house
This is our second timing staying at this property and would highly recommend it! The property is peaceful and relaxing but also a close drive to the hustle and bustle of Jay Peak, Stowe and Smugglers Notch! Perfect spot for a beautiful getaway.

Why they chose this property

There's something very special about Vermont. Its beautiful, uncluttered environment and its resemblance to Scotland made it the obvious choice to build the unique home we wanted. Family summers spent on a lake meant we needed to find a similar setting so that the enjoyment of the water and the grounds could be experienced from the home as well as outdoors.

What makes this property unique

Having designed and built this home, we incorporated all our ideas into something that could be comfortably enjoyed by a large family gathering without feeling cramped. Our goal was to make it inviting for couples, groups and families. Truly 5-star vacationing at less than hotel prices per couple.
