About this property

Private Mountain Pond Cabin

Welcome to Edeneast
If it’s a private back to nature experience you are seeking, you have found an ideal setting for that. This quiet off the grid cabin, all powered by propane, is very private, is at an elevation of 1100 feet and fronts on a crystal clear pond with no other camps in view. Get away from the busy stressful world we all live in and relax. . Eden is a wonderful place to take in the Vermont summer or fall. Reconnect with nature and each other here.

The cabin faces west on the pond and has a screened porch overlooking the pond. This is a comfortable but simple cabin that does not have electricity but has propane lights, gas fridge, stove, hot water heater and full bathroom. It is an Open design on the lower level with kitchen, living room dining area and one bedroom with a double bed and bathroom. There is also a loft for additional sleeping area. The property has 400 feet of frontage on the pond with swimming area, dock and canoe.You can even swim au natural if you want ! The pond has beaver, turtle, visiting loons and ducks and has perch, bass and sunfish for the fisherman.

Everything you need for cooking, meal preparation and utensils is provided. You must bring your own sheets, ( double for the bedroom and queen size for the loft), single for the porch, towels and paper products. Plenty of blankets are on site. There is a Weber charcoal grill available for barbecuing. We do not allow outside campfires due to fire danger. There is no easy way to extinguish a fire.
Everything you might need for food is just 3 miles away at a decent size market.

If you desire more activity than hanging around the cabin, there are numerous hiking and biking trails nearby and many opportunities for canoeing and fishing. The camp is about 40 minutes north of Stowe, Vt. Which is a charming ski town with great restaurants and shops.The whole area is a recreational paradise: There is a new indoor water park at Jay peak nearby and many interesting towns and other sites to take in. The camp is a beautiful place for the fall foliage and has a wood stove with plenty of wood for those crisp fall days.

• $150 per night for stays under 7 nights.

• Book 7 nights and get 20% off, $120 per night, total $840.

• Available from late May to October.

• Minimum stay: 3 nights.

• $150 refundable cleaning/security deposit (Host fee).

• Plus 9% tax and VRBO service fee.

This is a unique arrangement in that I rely on the camper to clean the camp thoroughly and remove all garbage before leaving. This keeps the cost down.
I limit the number of guests to 4 as there is a dug well and water must be conserved.

Because the pond is private and extremely quiet, it is important for any potential renters to understand that they must keep a low profile here so as not to disturb the unique nature of this spot. Dogs may be considered if they present no risk in terms of chasing wildlife or barking. There is a canoe provided but due to milfoil concerns, I do not allow renters to put their own kayaks or other boats in the pond.
Note, the camp is only available late May to October. It is closed in the winter.

Paradise in Eden VT

This was one of our favorite cabins to stay at. The location was excellent! You are nestled up on a hill overlooking the water and the scenery is just spectacular. The only noise we heard were the birds and the loons at night, so relaxing. The cabin is very clean and has a full kitchen and bath that are run by propane. This was great being able to cook dinners, make coffee and breakfast and to shower after a long hike or bike ride. We have T-Mobile cell service and had no issues getting service. Sitting on the dock or the cabin deck and just absorbing the beauty and peacefulness is such bliss. There is so much to do in the surrounding areas: Stowe has shopping and restaurants as well as morrisville (we stopped to the Rock Art Brewery to try their beer..Excellent!). We went hiking at Elmore State Park and did the almost 6 mile hike up the mountain to the fire tower. I highly recommend this if you can handle a tough hike, the views from the fire tower were stunning. We also rented bikes in Johnson at Lamoille Valley Bike Tour and did a mile bike ride through the countryside. We rented the cabin for a week and I can honestly say I could have stayed another week. It rained the 1st day we got there, and that was no problem for us..we cooked a nice meal and sat and listened to the rain..so peaceful. If your looking to get away from the concrete jungle or to just unwind and become one with nature, then this is the place to stay at.

Best place ever!

A great opportunity to get away from it all. Float in the canoe and watch turtles sunning themselves on logs, watch loons, otters, beavers, swim in cool clean water and just enjoy looking at the pond. Artists, writers and those who appreciate nature this is a special place.

Off grid haven

It was a truly beautiful break from the digital rat race. Having a chance to watch 2 otters playing was truly surreal. Even despite a very cold rain storm the woodstove kept the cabin quite cozy. We could've easily stayed much longer and been quite happy.

Peaceful and Natural

This was a rustic, quaint, no-frills, and absolutely perfect spot to get away. The view was spectacular, the stars were bright, the fish were biting, the porcupines were friendly, and the silence was palpable. Ed was super responsive and very pleasant to work with. We appreciated the cabin, the dock, and all of the stunning natural beauty of Northern Vermont.

Another fantastic stay at Gut Pond. Love this little getaway! Everything anyone needs for a relaxing vacation including the deck and screened in porch overlooking the water. We had perfect weather so spent a lot of time in the water just floating around. Highly recommend if you are looking to unplug.

Paradise off-grid

If you are looking for a lovely serene place to hang out in nature, swim, and get away from it all, this is it. The cabin has everything one needs for a simple relaxing vacation with tons of light/windows, books, games, candles, folding chairs, all the kitchen necessities and a very comfy couch and beds. Ed is just terrific to work with as well. Highly recommended!

My review

Great location overlooking pond. Quiet, peaceful, wildlife everywhere, close to hiking, fishing, swimming, plenty to do if you love the outdoors. Communication with owner was great. Answered all my questions and helped with my special requests. However the cabin needs a lot of attention. A serious renovation and upgrades are in order. Pathway to pond is a accident waiting to happen. This off the grid cabin has the potential with a little TLC and is a gold mine waiting to happen.

quiet and a time to disconnect

Camp on a small pond, but large enough pond for a loon to take off:) Full beaver family, very clean water, plenty of perch off the dock, cool water for swimming. Cabin has what's necessary and is comfortable. The fireflies and stars are amazing at night. Because we're in nature, be prepared for deer flies/nature. Almost all the people who write in the visitor book over decades write about coming back and enjoying the time together.

Unplugged Paradise

We fell in love with this cabin. It was all we hoped for and more. The pond water was so clean and a perfect temperature for swimming. The dock was very secluded and peaceful. We enjoyed canoeing around the pond spotting turtles, loons, and beavers. The screened in porch was perfect for afternoon naps in the rain, playing games, reading, or just enjoying our surroundings. The hike down to the dock was a little challenging, don't attempt in flip flops. But all in all this is a perfect get away from it all kind of a place. We will definitely be back!

Natural Isolation

Beautiful spot for a real getaway. I had some reservations about staying at an off-grid cabin. But they proved to be unfounded. The cabin was overall clean, and all the gas appliances worked just fine. The gravity-supplied water is pretty amazing allowing for standard indoor plumbing. It is a very quiet place with lots of wildlife. You can watch the beavers swimming around the pond at dusk, and hear the frogs croaking. You can spend all day curled up with a book or head out to Stowe for all types of outdoor activities. The cabin is rustic, but if you are looking to disconnect, this is a slice of natural paradise.

About the host

Host profile image
My family and I built this cabin in 1989 to have a place to spend time together in all seasons. It has been a wonderful place to have Thanksgiving, 4th of July celebrations, foliage and other times.

Why they chose this property

We grew up in Vermont but left the state for Maine many years ago. This allowed us to have a place in Vermont again.

What makes this property unique

It is so private and we always liked being off the grid, even more important in todays world.
