This is a great place to go if you want remote peace and quiet. The fall colors were at peak. It was beautiful. It is centrally located for seeing all Vermont sites. The cottage was much larger than I thought it would be. There were plenty of dishes, washer dryer etc for anyone's needs.

They were a very nice family with two well behaved boys. They arrived and departed on time and treated the cottage and surroundings with respect. They genuinely appreciated the cottage and this part of Vermont. I would gladly have them return in the future.

The cottage site was very peaceful and rustic and close by to Barre and Montpelier and ski areas. The cabin itself was very well maintained with everything needed to enjoy a restful stay.

Tranquil cabin

Twin ponds is a tranquil getaway. Listening to the birds and pond frogs is so relaxing. The cabin is so comfy. And you could not ask for a better host. We always love coming to Vermont and staying at twin ponds.

Relaxing and beautiful

We had a wonderful stay at Lew's Twin Ponds Cottage! The location was secluded and very quiet, and the cottage was roomy, comfortable, and well equipped. We had a great view of the lake and the fall colors were magnificent. Although the cottage was isolated, Randolph and Williamstown were quick drives away for essentials - on scenic Vermont roads! We heartily recommend!

A secluded little gem!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Twin Ponds. With a well stocked, cozy cottage, evening fires by the water, and daily kayaking, we steeped ourselves in nature while enjoying the comforts of home. There's a bit of a hill down to the ponds but the exercise of walking up a couple of times a day was good for us and didn't deter us.

Quiet Retreat

It was quiet and had a fabulous view of two ponds, thus the name. The drive way is a little tricky but once you drive in just go slow and back in your car for an easy drive out when you leave. Lew was thoughtful and kind as the owner.

Vermont waterfalls and covered bridges

We had a great time in vermont. This house is centrally located to see many of the covered bridges and waterfalls in Vermont. We did not use the watercrafts as it was a little chilly to be on the lake in early June. The front porch was a lifesaver as you could sit outside with the bugs.

Well thought out for everything one might need - lovely kitchen and cottage - the pond and woods were beautiful and quiet - you are the only cottage on the Twin Ponds. Terrific. We will be back.

Th e ponds were nice with boats to use. The cabin could have been cleaner, needs updated!! Bedroom doors don't close. Check in was a half an hour prosses with house tour and signing forms (also 100 cash returnable deposit) check out not as long but still paper work and a house check.

Idyllic Setting

All you need to pack are your food, clothing and toiletries. Lew provides anything and everything else you might possibly need, unlike many other vacation rentals. He is also a fountain of information about local places to visit. The cottage itself is charming and clean. The pond is lovely and I loved communing with the wildlife, especially the loons. Other than being a little bit afraid to venture out after dark because of bear warnings and not swimming because of the risk of leeches, I couldn't have asked for a better week away. Thank you, Lew.

One disappointment

The pictures showed a fireplace. The amenities showed a fireplace BUT the fireplace did not work.. Each year we look forward to vacationing in cooler weather and enjoying fireplace. That is one requirement that always depends on whether we rent a place. Very disappointed to be misled.

Great fishing, secluded ponds.

Outstanding warm water fishing. Largemouth bass and chain pickerel both in good numbers & size. Very private and quiet at the cottage, on the ponds, and on nice long walks.

Great stay.

Family of 4 (kids 13 and 14) had a great stay of 8 days. Whether fishing in the pond, hiking (we hiked Mt. Abraham and Mt. Mansfield), trail running (several options), touring (maple syrup, cheese farms, natural scenery) we had a great time. The house itself is quite isolated, which we wanted but may not be for everyone. It is also a little old, but charming. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a laundry really helped.

If your truly looking to get away this is the place. Most of the the sound you will hear are nature. No cars,voices just peace. The ponds are beautiful and fishing not bad.

Enjoyed our stay but house quality not quite as imagined.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Twin Ponds. We stayed 39 nights, from Labor Day until mid-October. The grounds, the pond and the local environment are all extremely beautiful. It’s an older summer house with an addition of a newer kitchen and bathroom. It has good insulation and heating. We could walk down to the pond for eating, reading, and sunbathing in total privacy. There is a rowboat which we used. We swam several times. Due to some problems with the house, we felt it was somewhat overpriced. Some examples: -Instead of standard locking knobs, the bedroom doors have lightweight steel latches that make noise when lifted. Because of space needs, one of bathroom doors is a slatted, bi-fold door that doesn’t afford much privacy. These things were problems when we had overnight guests. -The pump system for the house is noisy. Whenever it kicks on, the system can easily be heard in the house. This noise bothered me, but not my wife. -The shower and bath in the larger bathroom do not drain properly. (The owner said he would address this problem, as we mentioned when we left.) This all said, Lew was very helpful and a gracious host. He was responsive to any questions and kept us informed of local activities that we might be interested in. To summarize, we found the area to be stunningly beautiful but we found that the quality of the house did not justify what we were charged. The price may vary with the season, we don't know.

Peace and quiet

We found this place to be spectacular! This is a slice of peace and quiet without giving up giving up too many amenities. The only thing you need is food. The place is fantastic and very comfortable. Lew has thought of everything to ensure it stays that way. The grounds are very well kept and you literally have access to the twin ponds with nobody else around. It is peace and quiet and relaxing. You, your family, and nature. I would definitely recommend this for a short or a long stay.
