Quiet little camp on the North End Point of Fern Lake that has just been renovated. Two small but quaint bedrooms both have queen beds. A wonderful 32’ four season porch with a sofa bed, bar and hightop table and games. This leads out onto a beautiful deck all facing the lake. Newly tiled walk-in shower. Large kitchen with plenty of seating at the table fully furnished with everything that you might need for your vacation with the exception of food. A great fire pit on the patio. Outside there are two flat levels to play yard games. Large sun deck to get that great tan. Great fishing off the dock. Also there is a picnic table and a large gas grill to cook up that perfect steak at the end of the day. the lake is perfect for floating however depending on the time of year the water level in front of our camp can range from 5’- 9’. You might want to bring water shoes after all this is a lake in VERMONT and the bottom tends to be mucky -
Yard games, kayaks, life jackets, some firewoodare all on site. Wi-Fi , Smart TV, Towels,linens and bedding are clean and fresh for you to use.
Near by is a great Pizza & Ice-cream place called Kampersville Deli. It is also near my Favorite -Paddlers Pub. Neshobe Golf club is also close by.
20 minutes from Middlebury, 40 minutes to Rutland, hour to most ski resorts such as okemo, Middlebury snowbowl, and killington

Such a nice quiet spot! The camp was very well appointed; lots of pots and pans, linens, toys for the kids, etc. And the lake was lovely! We hope we get a chance to come back!
Great spot right on Fern Lake, peaceful with everything you need. Lots of toys, books, and games for children. Lots of kayaks for everyone to go out on the water together! Great communication from the host. We had a lovely time, thank you!

Beautiful and relaxing!
My husband and I just returned home after a week at this amazing place. It is newly remodeled and beautifully decorated but very welcoming and comfortable. Tammie is an amazing host! She has thought of everything you could possibly need - including things you may have forgotten. The outdoor space is incredible with plenty of places to lounge and relax, including a wonderful fire pit area. Our host generously offered the use of their small motor boat, kayaks and floats of which we took full advantage of and thoroughly enjoyed! And even though the weather was rainy on several days there was still plenty of things to do in the area and lots of great places to eat. We really enjoyed our time and hope to return again next year!
The camp was exactly what I expected and Tammie was very responsive to any/all questions. We used the property as home base for family weekend at Middlebury. It was very convenient, and positioned well between Middlebury and Brandon. I hope to get up there again to enjoy the camp and the lake again soon.
Perfect, private, we’ll stocked lake house retreat. The lake is quiet, the house and amenities are very thoughtful (including fixings for making s’mores), fully stocked kitchen, playground for kids, outside fire pit with wood supply.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Kayaking on the lake was so relaxing, and Tammy was communicative and available by text or phone.
The owners are very thoughtful and this is a lovely home on a nice little lake. The cottage's location on the water in a semi-secluded cove adds to the peace and quiet. They have lots of toys and games for adults and kids, and the fire pit is a perfect place to relax at the end of a fun day at Camp Run-A-Muck. We loved our stay and would definitely go back!
Our stay at Camp Runamuck was just what the doctor ordered - relaxing and stress-free! We knew the location was going to be great based on photos, but it was even more gorgeous in person. The Lake is very private, and the cottage sits in a small cove that keeps it somewhat sheltered. We enjoyed daily kayak rides, and the kids loved the floating mat and water toys. The cottage itself was clean and inviting, with plenty of room for our party of 5 (and then some). Beds were very comfortable and each room had AC. The hosts left treats for us to enjoy, as well as pantry items and linens. Their hospitality went above and beyond. We will definitely come back again!
we went up to this area for a family wedding, this house has everything you need and more and such perfect detail, the booking and check-in process was a breeze, Tammie very thoughtful, we can't wait to go back next summer, thank you so much for sharing your home with ours
We stayed here for Labor Day weekend with our 3 young children, my brother and is wife and their baby. The house was so clean and comfortable. We felt right at home! Tammie was wonderful and made sure we arrived safely and had what we needed. The lake is so clean and peaceful. The weather was a little too cool to swim but we still were out on the water using the kayaks that Tammie was so kind as to let us use! We will definitely be going back!
We had a wonderful time. So many thoughtful things prepared or available. Beautiful home! Peaceful!

Perfect Spot, Wonderful Hosts
Thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend here. Plenty of space outdoors for entertaining, with fun activities such as lawn games, kayaks, and a fire pit. The owners are also very accommodating, and provided plenty of amenities to make us feel at home.

Fern Lake Cottage
Beautiful cottage nestled in the woods on the edge of Fern Lake. It was the perfect place for 4 lifelong friends to meet up and come together for a much needed visit. The cottage is well stocked with everything you could ever want or need. Sleep came easily! Tammie was wonderful. Can't wait to return for a summer visit.
