Perfect Lake House

House was clean and well stocked to help keep it clean. Perfect and beautiful location on Lake Salem. Plenty of room for everyone and lots of things to do in the home on those rainy days. If ever back in the area, would love to stay there again.

Stunning, Comfortale Lake-front home

We had 3 relaxing nights at this lovely lake front home. The rental was clean and had everything and more to make our visit enjoyable. We took advantage of the kayaks for early morning paddles, played ping pong during the rain, and ended our evening with a fire overlooking the lake. We highly recommend this property as a summer retreat.

Thank you Diana for the great review! We stay in our Lake Salem home often and have to say that we do love a rainy day thrown in with the sunshine. Ping pong, pool, puzzles and games are activities that we don't normally participate in otherwise. That being said, there is something really special about having a lakes front campfire on a crisp evening in Vermont... hearing the loons call and gazing at the brilliant stars! We really appreciate you for taking he time to write a review!

Wonderful!!!!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! We could not have ask for a more magical time on Lake Salem! The weather was perfect and the colors were absolutely breathtaking! Everything we needed was already at the lake house and Linda was great to check with us the day we checked in to make sure we were all settled and everything was as we had expected it to be.

Wonderful vacation!

We had an amazing stay at you home! Everything was thought of by homeowners. the house was beautiful and clean and better than what pictures show! the lake is beautiful and can be seen from living room and kitchen. The kayaks were put to good use! Many good restaurants within short drive. Many great spots to visit-Lake Willoughby, Island Pond, Jay Peak, kayaking on Clyde River was fun! We enjoyed our stay!

Spectacular Cottage on the Lake

This is the 4th time we have had the absolute pleasure of staying in this cottage. It overlooks beautiful (and quiet) Lake Salem. The hosts always go above and beyond. Everything was clean and well-stocked from linens and towels to kayaks and paddleboards. We enjoyed stunning views, fishing, canoeing, stargazing, fire pits, and the hot tub. It was a lovely time with family and friends!

Great family vacation spot!

We had a blast at the lake house! The house had everything we needed and the view was absolutely gorgeous! Had just about every meal outside on the deck. Great house for kids. Both our 8 year old and 2 year old were happy. Spent time boating and kayaking on Lake Salem, biking on lake Memphremagog, and visiting area farmers markets and farm stands. The kids loved seeing the elk over at Cow Palace! We even took a day trip to Canada. Overall, a wonderful family vacation!

Vermont Lake House Surrounded by Brilliant New England Fall Foliage

I stayed at this beautiful lakehouse with my girlfriend and another couple, we fly fished the Clyde River, saw Lake Salem from a canoe, enjoyed a lakeside firepit, it was the ideal fall lake trip. What TJ and Linda have done with this house is rare to find! Its a beautiful home with massive windows facing the lake, and you can tell you're in a home that was thoughtfully put together & taken care of. Thank you for sharing this with us and if you're reading this, you won't find better!

Absolutely Amazing

I started bringing my daughters to Lake Salem 30 years ago and loved it so I decided to relive the memories with my 3 grandchildren . I was lucky to find this beautiful home with such wonderful hosts. I have rented many homes over the years but this by far was one of the most beautiful and well kept homes I have stayed in. The house has every possible accommodation you need and then some. It is exquisitely decorated , charming yet very welcoming and homey feeling ! It is filled with all the comforts of home. The lakefront and view are spectacular. The sunsets while the loons sing to you are memorable! We loved every moment and can’t wait to come back! The hosts Linda and TJ are great!

Perfect Lake House!

This was our 2nd year staying at this lovely lake house. There is absolutely nothing left to be desired when you stay here. Linda and TJ have thought of everything. The house is welcoming and full of every convenience you could ask for. The view from the porch is breathtaking morning, afternoon and evening. We loved taking out the canoe and enjoying the peace and tranquility of the lake. Our children played and swam out to the raft and enjoyed just relaxing on the dock. We hated to leave this year when our week was up and felt the same in 2014. This is just the perfect house for a lakeside vacation. We are already planning a longer stay for summer 2016. After staying here for two summers in a row, one week just isn't enough! The Lynn Family

Memories for life

Staying here was more than imagined. The house is beautiful, very well furnished and stocked with more than needed and tastefully decorated. Working with Linda was such a pleasure as she is kind and flexible. The lake was much bigger than I thought and we really enjoyed swimming, kayaking and fishing. I sat on the dock most mornings and took in the beauty of lake Salem. The surroundings were peaceful, the locals so friendly, and everything we needed close by. We had a great time playing pool with the kids, taking them on the boat and just watching them have the best time. There isn't a single thing I would have changed about our vacation except maybe staying longer as it was so saddening to leave. If you choose this home for your vacation you will NOT be sorry...I have no doubt it will exceed your every expectation as it did ours. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place for folks to get away!!!!! Until next year!!

November in Vermont

My husband and I stayed a long weekend at the lake house. I would recommend it to anyone. High-end appliances- quality towels and linens. We actually christened the brand new gas stove in by baking a roasting chicken via beer can method...I came home to telling my husband I want a new gas stove ! The expansive deck was beautiful-I watched every sunrise except on the last morning because a snow storm moved in. Linda prepped a wheel barrel of logs for us to burn in the fire-pit right next to the lake and we took full advantage late one night while star gazing sitting in the Adirondack chairs. There are too many things to mention--all positive. We have rented homes on HomeAway & VRBO for over 15 years now from Florida to California and I must say this is one of my favorites. Linda was a great hostess !

Perfect Getaway!

This property was perfect for our family vacation! The house is beautiful, clean with lots of space for everyone. The lakefront is gorgeous with plenty of great places to gather from sitting on the grass overlooking the lake to the large deck area with an abundance of chairs. The owners Linda & TJ were beyond accommodating. They are very in-tune to what a quests needs are which can be seen from all the fine details they provide for you stay, from all the fun amenities you could possibly need like paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, even a ping-pong/billboard table; to perfectly cut firewood ready to be used in the cozy fire pit right on the edge of the lake. In the house the beds are super comfy, the appliances are clean and up to date. There are so many comfortable places to sit, relax and see the beautiful views of the lake out the large glass pane windows! Our family had a great time in the lake and out, I would highly recommend this property to anyone; for families, groups or even couples looking for a step into nature and fresh water lake life! Thank you so much Linda & TJ for your wonderful hospitality and having us in your home!

Thank you for being understanding and flexible, as we adjusted week long renters down to 6 nights for more thorough cleaning and "airing out".

Beautiful House for our Family Vacation

This house has everything. Everything is well appointed and clean. It overlooks the lake, which is not that busy. The house has all you need. The grill was sparkling clean, there are hooks in the shower to hang bathing suits, and there are lots of towels, several boats with life jackets for everyone, games, etc. The basket of water shoes was handy (recommended for walking in the lake). There were lots of beds. The one in the basement TV room was particularly comfortable! We were there when it was above 90 outside - and the room air conditioners and fans kept things cool. I imagine you don't need them most of the time this far north. There is some great hiking and swimming in the area. The lake is small enough to kayak around - and in the mornings I kayaked right next to a pair of loons. Really lovely. The owners have cleared the growth in the lake in front of their dock - so the water was very clear. The lake is pretty shallow pretty far out, which is great for kids. The only thing that was less than 5 star was that the property is right next to a major road (major for VT) and something about the acoustics of the lake makes it very loud when a car - and particularly a truck - drives by. Inside the house was pretty quiet - but it did reach the deck and yard overlooking the lake.

Perfect family vacation! Again!

Our 2nd family vacation here and, once again, it didn't disappoint. What a beautiful property and lake! Last year we never even used the campfire so this year we made it a point to have several campfires during our week. It is a truly special spot with plenty of seating wherever we want to gather. The house is perfect for a family gathering with a table that suits all kinds of game-playing, a downstair ping-pong table and plenty of kayaks/canoes for our large family! After our 2nd vacation here, we've still never used the downstairs TV room! No need with the many other areas to congregate.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect place to have a long awaited (post pandemic) reconnection with our adult children. Plenty of space to spread out, and incredibly well appointed. Just bring your personal belongings and food and be prepared to relax on the deck or out on the lake. Loved it!!

Perfect Summer Getaway

Our family had a fantastic time at this lovely Vermont Lake House. The property description does not fully cover all this place has to offer. Fully equipped is likely my best description, there is nothing we needed to bring. The home is extremely well furnished, dining room table was spacious and our family loved the built in lazy susan. It made for great family meals and some epic card playing. Our very favorite part of the day was coffee on the deck. We took full advantage of all the seating options and that gorgeous view. We enjoyed all our play time on the lake and by the fire pit...nightly smore's were required by our group. Thank you so much for listing such a lovely property, I am still showing off sunrise pictures to my work friends!! Thanks also to our Hosts, you made everything so easy for our group!

Truly this was such an amazing trip for me and my family. Linda and TJ were so accommodating and so responsive to all the questions I had. The house was beautiful- you can tell the hard work they have put in and I am so glad they have been willing to share it! I loved the amazing sunrise in the morning and how the whole trip brought my family closer together! Great way to end the trip is the announcement of my older sister expecting a new baby!
